Today is December 27, 1981, and this is my AUDIO LETTER(R) No. 70. Two days ago my family and I joined millions of other Christians world-wide in celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. It was a day of family togetherness, of worship, and of joy. That's how it is for those to whom our Lord Jesus Christ is the whole reason for Christmas; and yet, in our modern world, the holiday called "Christmas" means different things to different people. To some it's just an excuse to give and receive gifts without any deeper meaning. To others, the Christmas season is mainly a chance to make money from the bonanza of gift buying. And, yes, there are some among us to whom Christmas is a sad time--parents who cannot afford any gifts for their children, children who have no parents, lonely shut-ins to whom no one brings a word of Christmas cheer. All of us know about these things. They are the facts of life. Christmas, like the rest of life, is largely what we make of it; and, my friends, in our modern world there are evil forces who have learned to use the holiday season to do us harm. It has happened before, many times. Those who bear us ill will know they can always count on us to be preoccupied and vulnerable during the holiday season. This began to be used against us as long ago as 1913. That year the United States Congress ostensibly passed the legislation creating the FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM. There was intense opposition to this unConstitutional privately-owned central banking system, but no matter. Those who wanted it simply waited until just before Christmas. Most Congressmen had gone home, including most of the opponents to the plan within Congress. The public at large neither knew nor cared about obscure financial legislation at that moment. Everyone was too busy thinking about Santa Claus, parties, and Christmas dinner to come. And so as its Christmas gift to America in 1913, a small group of men--less than a legal quorum in Congress--slipped through the Federal Reserve Act! Ever since that time the United States economy has suffered continuously from that Christmastime act of betrayal. In military affairs, too, the Christmas holiday season is always a dangerous time. That is when we are most likely to have our guard down, vulnerable to surprise attack. On December 6, 1941, thousands of American Servicemen attended pre-Christmas parties in and around Honolulu, Hawaii. Everything was peaceful, and life was good. There were no military alerts and all was calm. After all, it was almost Christmas. But the following morning, Sunday morning December 7, 1941, more than 2000 of those Servicemen lost their lives. From that day onward the name "Pearl Harbor" has been seared forever into the mind of every American. Yes, my friends, that's how it's been time after time in the past, and that's how it's been once again during the holiday season of 1981. We are especially vulnerable this time because our usual holiday preoccupation has been compounded by mounting economic worries. During this holiday season, my friends, not one but three major crises have been set in motion. All three are helping to bring the world one step closer to NUCLEAR WAR ONE. [...]"
