Continuing our discussion from part five, and keeping all of the previous points in mind, please remember again that the Jews barely comprise 2.4 per cent of the total population of the United States. Yet despite that fact, just look at how many prominent positions they now old in so many different areas of American life, and how much power they wield. To reiterate, I find it rather mind-boggling. Considering how much the entertainment industry and the mass media affect our world view and public opinion, I will list this category for you first.

In looking at this first list, I am reminded of how extremely liberal so many television programs and movies have become in recent decades. It's a very far cry from what I remember as a young boy growing up decades ago. Well, just one look at the list below will clearly reveal exactly who is responsible for filling our movie screens and television screens with so much filth, trash, violence and ungodliness. Other than one person whose ethnicity I have doubts about, they are all Jews.

This list also reveals that the only news we get is the news that the Jews want us to see and hear. There should really be no doubt that our news is filtered and censored for us by the Jews. It is slanted news which has been manipulated to convey what these powerful Jews want us to think and believe. So are your thoughts and opinions really your own if you watch news through a filter every day? Also, I can't help but wonder how many people have experienced character assassination through the news, when they have challenged Jewish wealth and power in some way.

Other major media companies which were founded by, and/or controlled by Jews, include Columbia Pictures, MCA -- which later morphed into Universal Studios -- Simon & Schuster, Random House, Western Publishing and so many more. Also of interest is the fact that all of the current members of the MPAA -- that is, the Motion Picture Association of America -- are companies which are headed and controlled by Jews. As I said, Jewish influence runs extremely deep.

If you are reading this series, you no doubt love using your computer and surfing the Internet. Perhaps you belong to a few social networks such as Facebook, and have done research on Wikipedia. There probably is not a day that goes by that you don't Google something, and you may have an account with PayPal. Maybe you have even made some purchases on Ebay, or on Amazon.com. In order to do all of these various tasks, you probably use a computer that runs the Windows, Macintosh or Linux operating system. Just as occurs with the entertainment industry and the mass media, most of the companies which are associated with these activities were founded by, are owned by, controlled by, or at least heavily influenced by, Jews. Here again is proof for your consideration. This is by no means a complete list.

If anything can be said regarding the previous list, it is that a lot of money is being passed into the hands of Jews on the Internet, and a lot of personal information as well via the social networks. The aforementioned social networks and services are some of the top data miners of the World Wide Web. This data is used for advertising purposes, and to increase the profits of these powerful Jews. In short, the web is a global money-making machine for the Jews.

As I mentioned earlier, the Jews maintain very tight control over the US economy through such institutions as the Federal Reserve System, and by frequently occupying the position of the US Secretary of the Treasury. Jewish dominance in the area of Big Business and high finance is both overwhelming and extensive. As such, I can't possibly include everything in the list below. Thus, it represents just a small fraction of their true power and influence, both nationally, as well as globally. One could spend weeks conducting research, and still not discover the full extent of their global financial web.

While the Jews maintain a very powerful and visible presence in the world of Big Business and high finance, as we learned earlier, their grip on American politics is also very strong. So many corrupt politicians have sold their souls for Jewish money, and have allowed themselves to become mouthpieces and puppets for the Zionist agenda. Furthermore, many American presidents have realized that they are really at the mercy of the Jews. It is no wonder then that the Republican candidate for the upcoming presidential election, Mitt Romney, has been offering so many platitudes to the Jews in recent weeks, and endeavoring to cast himself as the better man to the Jews of Israel, as well as at home.

The following list offers us a brief glimpse of some of the Jews who have positioned themselves in the upper echelons of the American government. Considering again that the Jews only constitute two per cent of the total American population, it is significant that they occupy so many positions. However, bear in mind that, for the most part, the extent of Jewish power and influence over US politics is intentionally kept opaque, as they obviously do not wish to alarm the general populace. Furthermore, I suspect that Jewish influence over the US President and the Vice President is such, that this may be the reason why the Jews do not see the need to occupy those positions themselves. Imagine, however, how US policy in the Middle East would be affected, if a Jewish president were to take office.

* There are claims that these people are really Jews, but I was not able to confirm it to my personal satisfaction with the amount of research that I conducted. I spent quite a few hours compiling the previous list. To my best knowledge, it is accurate. If there are any errors, it was not intentional on my part. As I noted earlier, unraveling the genealogical background of the rich and the elite is by no means an easy task, because some of them purposely endeavor to obfuscate their biological origin. For example, it is quite possible that some people who say they are German, may in reality be German-Jewish. Please also note that depending on when you actually read this series, the aforementioned people may or may not still occupy the listed positions.

Concerning Australian -- turned American -- noted media mogul Rupert Murdoch, while he professes to be Christian, online rumors claim that he is Jewish on his mother's side, because her maiden name is Elisabeth Joy Greene. Greene is currently known as Dame Elisabeth Murdoch. Greene is in fact an Irish name which points to Murdoch's Irish ancestry. It originates with various Irish surnames that are derived from the Irish "glas", which means gray, green or blue. However, at the same time, Greene is also an Americanized form of the German "Grüen" or the Yiddish "Grin", which are Ashkenazic ornamental names which also signify "green". So, being as I don't know for certain which is the truth, I have placed an asterisk next to Murdoch's name.

Just as wealthy Jewish families have long relied upon the practice of intermarriage in order to maintain power and control over their financial empires and assets, in similar fashion, these business conglomerates form companies within companies, which can make it very difficult and confusing to sort out for the average person. Their business associations are very convoluted and complex, which adds a thick layer of ambiguity to everything. Furthermore, as the previous list partially reveals, these powerful people have a propensity for circulating within these power groups, from one company to another. In fact, they often occupy different positions in different companies all at the same time.

It is also important to point out that some of these people are not religious Jews at all. They are very worldly, secular Jews who do not observe the practices of Judaism. Many are primarily motivated by their desire to earn a lot of money. Some of them even claim to be agnostics or atheists, such as Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, who was raised in a strict Jewish home. In all fairness, it should also be mentioned that in a collective sense, some of the aforementioned Jews have given literally millions -- and possibly billions -- of dollars to charitable causes over the years. They have built hospitals and done many other admirable things as well which have won the accolades of the world.

However, we still need to recognize that regardless of how much these Jews donate to charities and other social causes, and perform other wonderful deeds for the sake of humanity, without accepting Christ, they are all still lost, they are all still ungodly, and they all still remain antichrist. What they do in the eyes of the world still amounts to empty works without Jesus Christ. I am reminded of what Jesus said to the "Lord, Lord" group who were touting their own righteousness and their own "wonderful works" in the following verses:

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
Matthew 7:21-23, KJV


"And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?"
Luke 6:46, KJV


Please notice that Jesus is apparently referring to people who claim to be His followers; that is to say, Christians. After all, who else would do these things in His Name? The unbelieving Jews most certainly wouldn't. So, if some of the people who claim to be Christians are going to be cast out and rejected by the Lord, what does that say about the rest of the unbelieving world, such as the Jews? As the Apostle Peter wrote in his first Epistle:

"For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?"
1 Peter 4:17-18, KJV


Exactly what is the fault that Jesus finds with the "Lord, Lord" group? He plainly states that they "do not the things which I say". What is the most important thing that Jesus taught us that we must do? What is God the Father's highest Will for humanity? Jesus clearly tells us in the following set of verses:

"Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent . . . All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day."
John 6:29, 37-40, KJV


Clearly then, our Heavenly Father's highest Will is that we embrace Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, in order that we might obtain Everlasting Life. This is precisely what the unbelieving Jews refused to do. As the Apostle Paul informs us in his Epistle to the Romans, his unbelieving brethren proudly and boastfully went about trying to establish their own righteousness. Consider the following verses:

"Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God."
Romans 10:1-3, KJV


Exactly what does Paul mean by "the righteousness of God"? What is the righteousness which his unbelieving brethren have refused to submit themselves to? The answer becomes rather clear when we examine verses such as the following. It is the righteousness which only comes through faith in Jesus Christ alone:

"And by him [Jesus] all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses."
Acts 13:39, KJV


"Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith."
Romans 3:20-27, KJV


"For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) . . . That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 5:17, 21, KJV


"And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness."
Romans 8:10, KJV


"For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth."
Romans 10:4, KJV


"Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified . . . I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain."
Galatians 2:16, 21, KJV


"And be found in him [Jesus], not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:"
Philippians 3:9, KJV


In contrast to the truth which is revealed in the previous set of verses, these people who belong to the "Lord, Lord" group like to boast of their own wonderful works. They like to pat themselves on the back and basically say "Look how great I am, Lord! Look at what I have done for you!". Such people would be wise to consider what the following verses tell us regarding such empty works which are done without Christ. They are meaningless works of the flesh which save no one:

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."
Ephesians 2:8-9, KJV


"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;"
Titus 3:5, KJV
