Background

"Hello. My name is Charles E. Carlson, and God has told me that He wants me to spam the living bejeezus out of your e-mail address."

OK, that's never actually been said, but that's the impression one gets from reading the Web site of the notorious Strait Gate Ministries. The incredibly dense individual behind that nonsense is a Mr. Charles E. Carlson, who is under the impression that complaining about his spam constitutes "interfering with [his] business."

Well, I have some news for him: his spam is interfering with my business. I have never corresponded with anyone at the WHTT.ORG, STRAITGATEMINISTRIES.ORG, or STRAITGATEMINISTRY.ORG domains. I have never requested anything from any of these domains. I have not had anyone do so on my behalf. I don't even know who the hell Charles E. Carlson is. I just know that he seems to enjoy spamming me repeatedly.

The following 12 e-mails are the various spams he has subjected my e-mail address to. He has shifted his e-mail base of operations to China, presumably because any United States laws against his spamming cannot be enforced there. This hints that Mr. Carlson knows exactly what he's doing, and knows that he's breaking the law. A further hint comes from his so-called "Legal Notice" about the "Can—Spam Act" (sic):

We comply with the law and we ask you do the same. To be omitted in the future type "remove" in the "Subject" line of a message. If you are considering defaming us or interfering with our business you should ask these people first.

Whatever you say, Charles E. Carlson. The CAN-SPAM Act says you can't do that. You are falsiflying your return address so as to make it more difficult to weed out your spam. This is illegal. There is no affirmative consent between us, nor has there ever been. This makes your spam illegal. There exists no affirmative consent between you and the Linux Kernel Mailing List which you also spammed. There exists no affirmative consent between you and the Smutta mailing list in Sweden, which you spammed, and which does not fall under United States jurisdiction. By spamming them, you are subject to Swedish law and possible extradition. You are known by Web Server Talk to be a spammer. In fact, on your own site, you admit to spamming before the CAN-SPAM Act was even conceived, much less passed into law.

Yet throughout this entire mess, you have managed to play the innocent victim.

Fun time is over, Charles. You are being reported to each and every one of your hosts, DNS providers, and domain registrars. If you continue to spam me at ANY of my addresses, I will sue you! Do I make myself clear? Lose the victim act. You aren't the victim here. Everyone you've spammed is a victim. You are the wrongdoer, not us.

A FEW EXAMPLES:

The Draft (for war) will Start in June 2005? 
 By Capital Advantage 

The pentagon has quietly begun a public campaign to fill all 10,350 
draft board positions and 11,070 appeals board slots nationwide.. 
Though this is an unpopular election year topic, military experts and 
influential members of congress are suggesting that if Rumsfeld's 
prediction of a "long, hard slog" in Iraq and Afghanistan [and a 
permanent state of war on "terrorism"] proves accurate, the U.S. may 
have no choice but to draft.

U.S. DEBT BURDEN Is Higher Now Than During Depression
By The Miami Herald

The total amount owed -- by consumers, businesses, governments and 
financial institutions -- totaled $34.4 trillion at the end of 2003, 
according to the Federal Reserve. The economy produced $11.3 trillion 
of output. That makes the nation's debt triple its gross domestic 
product. In 1933, debt was about 2 1/2 times GDP, according to a 
study by the Gabelli Mathers mutual fund.

 TALK SHOW HOSTESS Replaced for Views
By Mary Starrett

Editor- Mary Starrett is a unique talk show host, probing, informed, 
and charming. She interviewed this Editor several times on her prime 
time Portland show in the years before Day 911. Mary kept on probing 
after Day 911, and soon she is off the air, as are several other 
honest hosts we know who did not support the call to bomb Iraq. The 
worst offender is the giant CLEAR CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS.  Mary's 
story, and why talk radio is so confusing too.

 ISRAEL BEGINS WALL Cutting into Jesus' Birthplace
By Reuters

In the Bethlehem area, the cement rampart will separate thousands of 
Palestinians from farmland as it twists and turns to take in Jewish 
Settlements.  By looping into north Bethlehem to create a corridor 
from Jerusalem to Rachel's Tomb, the barrier will also isolate nearby 
Palestinian residents, mainly Christians, from the town centre with 
its Church of the Nativity, revered as Jesus' birthplace.  Should 
Christians care?  Should anyone care?

WHY JUDAIZED CHRISTIANS ARE RE-ELECTING GEORGE W. BUSH By Charles E.
Carlson

Serial war's never-ending blood purges are now the dominant factor in
our American culture.  Each successive war is paid for by the dilution
of our money, which is no more or less than a hidden tax on the
consumer.  The twin effects are unprecedented price inflation and a
dismal decline in morality that has always accompanies militarism
everywhere.  The sad Soviet Union is the most recent example of this. 
All history warns us that political wars and dilution are the twin
scissor blades of tyranny, and that the middle class and the fixed
income consumer are always caught between its razor sharp blades.

We Americans are now embroiled in the so-called "war on terrorism"
which, ignoring the causes and excuses of it for the moment, is in
practice a war on Islam.  This war is focused on independent acting
Muslim countries, such as Chechnya and Bosnia, named here only because
they are just as Caucasian as any of us.  The war on Islam is the
successor to the philosophical "Cold War" against "communism" that
sapped our resources and dominated our lives the last half of the 20th
Century. This author first wrote about this in a published article in
March 1994, called, Attacking Islam, Revisited. (See endnotes.)

The predictable effect of dollar dilution is to divide the great
American middle class into what are currently a millionaire class and
those below.  At the present rate of dilution sub-millionaires will soon
be equivalent to the peasants of pre-industrial Europe.  Neither class
has much to say about our government.  The sub-millionaire class is so
busy making ends meet we do not think much or have time to contemplate
issues.  The millionaire class shortsightedly sees few problems that
money will not solve.

The political leadership of both parties is now in the hands of the
multi-billionaire's class (the "haves" as George W. Bush called them). 
The "haves" opponents will not be elected, the controlled media sees to
that. Americans are independent, they even want to keep their guns, and
they fear being taken over from abroad, but for the most part they fail
to recognize that a world hegemony already exists that is controlled by
those who control the USA.  We were taught throughout the Cold War to
fear "world government," a supposed scheme to take over our own freedom
and export control over our country from the outside.

But the Cold War evaporated; it turned out to be only a hologram war
image projected on the eastern sky.  Its power sources came from New
York and London, not from the USSR, as we were told for 40 years through
two major wars that cost 100,000 American lives.

Instead of seeing America become greater, we have seen our jobs exported
and our cost of living rise 1000 percent in the lifetime of any
grandfather.  The hegemony exists all right, but it is within.  Whoever
controls America controls the world.  It is our military might that the
rest of the world fears.  But, at the present rate of wars and dilution,
soon only billionaires will be in control and many former millionaires
will be paupers.  This is a purely financial approach without even
considering the moral cesspool we now are asked to swim in.  Witness Abu
Gareb prison for just one example.  What future does this leave for our
future generations?

Judaized Christianity Does Not Confuse God
Charles E. Carlson

A huge, embarrassing secret is out of the bottle:  it is a political
reality that a poorly-described mass of professing Christians have been
the swing vote in each of the last seven presidential elections.  This
group is made up of people from many denominations and
non-denominational community groups and churches, most of whom call
themselves evangelical, Judeo-Christian, and a few answer to Christian
Zionist.  We prefer the clearly defined term from Bible history
"Judaized Christianity" to describe it.  Several seasoned political
analysts now agree that this religious super-sect will again decide the
election in November, and with it the fate of hundreds of thousands,
perhaps millions, of people.  Your writer is a qualified alumnus from
this school.

Because he has announced his intent to attack other Arab countries, the
reelection of George W. Bush will be viewed as a mandate for his war
policy.  Judaized Christians are only now being clearly recognized as
Bush's principal support base.  Therefore it is time for us to take a
closer look at why many "evangelicals" have no problem with preemptive
wars.

We are also appealing for self-appraisal by all who call themselves by
Christ's name.  It is not generally understood that there is zero
support for Judaized Christian's war positions in scripture.  Celebrity
leaders and pastors invariably claim they follow the exact word of God,
never varying from scripture.  In fact, interviews with and letters from
dozens of these have revealed that they can offer no coherent New
Testament support whatsoever for the practice of "just retribution," the
killing of one man's children for what someone else is thought to have
done to a third party.

War and racial repression are, in fact, profoundly unChrist-like, but
this is not discussed in Judaized Christians' churches.  The basis for
their views toward Israel comes from the Old Testament, never from the
New Covenant; no leader of laymen we have met has ever been able to
justify bombing of civilians without resorting to manmade alterations,
additions or footnotes tacked on to the Bible by men with an agenda.

It is also not generally understood by evangelicals that what fires them
to think and vote as a bloc is that, like robots, they have been
conditioned to accept the state of Israel as a world power by an
aggressive movement that was launched almost a hundred years ago--World
Zionism-and that this conditioning has diverted them from their true
path into one that serves Israel, not Jesus.

It is time for followers of Christ regardless of church affiliation to
confront the entire politicized, Judaized Christian movement, whose acts
find no support in the New Testament of Jesus Christ, the Prince on
Peace; its followers are deceived or theywould not follow it.

"Judaize" is defined by Webster in 1828 as: "conforming to the rights
and doctrines of the Jews," and Noah Webster made reference to the
Galatians, who the Apostle Paul addresses as, "Oh foolish Galatians."

ISRAELI BUS 19:  Israeli hate-bus tours Americana
Israel's Unity Coalition generates Christian clones
Charles E. Carlson

Shame on church leaders who ENABLE the acts of terror by Ariel Sharon! 
Our June 16th research paper, Judeo-Christians' Role--Mr. Sharon's Final
Solution, documents Israel's use of Judeo-Christian college lecturers to
promote hatred against Palestinians.  Now we discover that a cloned
demonstration group is visiting American mega-churches dragging with it
a giant hate-prop, a bombed out Israeli bus. Christians for Israel's
Bus19 claims "11 Israeli civilians" were killed on this bus by a
Palestinian suicide bomber on January 29, 2004.  This is probably true,
but it does not explain that Israel has executed about five Palestinians
for each Israeli death.

CHRISTIANS FOR ISRAEL'S BUS19 hauls this bloody prop from city to city.
According to BUS19.ORG website, its next scheduled stop is the Baltimore
Zionist Center, July 20-27. The bus was brought all the way from Israel
to The Hague and eventually to Washington for a May 6 demonstration at
the Capitol, then to the Family Christian Center in Munster Indiana,
then to Denver, Boston and, now, Baltimore, and from there we do not
know where to.

What possible purpose can such an ugly display have but to help convince
conditioned Judeo-Christian church attendees that Palestinians are
brutal and sub-human murders?

We Hold These Truths has repeatedly proved by careful research that
Israeli Defense Forces and its public relations arm purposely distorts
reports of bus bombings, invariably failing to disclose that almost
every bus in Israel serves as both military transport and at the same
time as public bus. Egged Bus 19 was no exception. It is almost certain
that it was carrying armed IDF soldiers when it was hit. No list of the
50 wounded has been made available. Usually military personnel are among
the deaths on bus bombings. There have been very few exceptions. No
doubt that bus 19 was picked to tour the USA because the 11 dead were
not military, though some may well have been reservists.

The IDF conveniently juggles the death information to hide military
deaths from the foreign press.  This author has documented many examples
of Israeli distortion in our series of articles on the "intelligent
bombs." Civilians are usually collateral damage due to clearly planned
attacks against vulnerable concentrations of military personnel on board
busses.

Christians for Israel is associated with Unity Coalition for Israel
(UCI). Christians for Israel describes itself as: "Stand(ing) with the
Jewish people in support of the State of Israel as the national,
ancestral and covenantal homeland of the Jewish people. We are Christian
Zionists."

The ghoulish bus idea of this costly demonstration has the earmarks and
the thread of Israeli government sponsorship, paid for with American
aid.

On Sunday, June 13th, "BUS19" was the guest of Faith Bible Chapel and
Christian school at its large campus in suburban Denver. Two of Project
Strait Gate's Advisors witnessed the grotesque display parked on Church
property, with Israeli and American flags interspersed around the
grounds.  Curiously, Faith Bible Chapel seems to have yanked its Webpage
displaying photos of its Bus19 display and describing the event.  Please
look at the website of Faith Bible Chapel's "Israel Outreach" page.

It should be no surprise that the Unity Coalition for Israel's (UCI)
speakers bureau is entwined with the Christians for Israel.  Dr. James
Hutchens is listed as a speaker for UCI and Christians for Israel.
Comparing the speaker list we find they are not identical but are close.
 As stated in the mission statement quote above one can reasonably
assume Hutchens means he favors transfer, a synonym for ethnic
cleansing, or genocide.

Who provided the money for the traveling disabled Bus?  UCI is probably
financed by most radical elements in all of Israel, judging from its
agenda. Israel is said to have given Jerry Falwell a Jet plane in the
1980s; Dr. Hutchens has a bombed out bus.  This should tell us
Judeo-Christians are becoming more affordable in terms of Israeli
Shekels.

I would guess it would be beyond Project Strait Gate's financial
capabilities to bring a Palestinian family's bulldozed house to the USA.
 If we did so, I doubt if Faith Chapel would allow it on their parking
lot. And would they allow the Israeli bulldozer that crushed Rachael
Corrie to be parked on their Christian School yard?  Not, of course,
unless someone hopes to educate those who want to follow Christ instead
of Zionism.

We must challenge Christian enablers of continued Palestinian
oppression.  Challenge them as they promenade in front of the grand but
apostate cathedrals that claim to be Jesus Christ's churches. Liars
often start by saying, "in truth" just before they commence lying. If
you doubt this please read this recent editorial: "Face Reality or Face
Annihilation" by Beth Goodtree who concludes:

"In truth, terror is merely a tactic of the real enemy, Islamism, which
seeks to dominate and subjugate the entire planet just as Nazi Germany
once did"

The Zionist State that officially sanctified both abortion and torture
is now conditioning the Judeo-christian churches to accept annihilation
of Palestinians to solve Israel's self-induced problems.  UCI is using
professing Judeo-christian front groups, including James Hutchens'
Christians for Israel, to try to persuade church-goers that Palestinians
may be treated as animal and that God does not really care. It will
fail. God loves Palestinians too: "Love does not delight in evil, but
rejoices in the truth." (I Cor. 13:6)

Followers of Christ must take the lead in confronting self-professing
Christian-Zionists icons in the presence of their respective supporters.
Christian-Zionists violated many principles set out by Jesus Christ. 
Project Strait Gate is to expose this heresy both in the street and over
the Internet. Persons of all faith who believe that the right to life is
a gift from God may wish to examine Project Strait Gate. -end

PEACE MONGERING AT CHURCH
Charles E. Carlson

A feature story in "New Times" Magazine once dubbed Project Strait Gate,
"PEACE MONGER."  It earned its author an award for "religious story of the
year."  "Monger" means salesman, or perhaps even street vendor (for peace). 
We have come to rather appreciate the term, and you can read the story from
the link in the footnotes.  The "Monger" always shows you the merchandise he
is selling, it is right there on his pushcart; the Warmakers, who peddle
destruction in the name of safety, hide the product from you, else you would
reject it. 

WHY DOES PROJECT STRAIT GATE GO TO THE CHURCHES for our Vigils?  It is New
Testament history that Jesus and his companions always showed up at the
temple or the synagogues...the church equivalent of their day. His followers
were mongers for the New Covenant.  There they confronted the Pharisees and
the lesser heretics, speaking to the congregations as best they could.  When

WHY PRESIDANT BUSH OFFERED NOMINAL AID FOR FLOOD VICTIMS:
Undercutting the United Nations for Power
Charles E. Carlson

On Wednesday night, President George W. Bush rather lamely answered critics
about the minuscule US commitment to the United Nations' aid program for
tsunami victims. Originally the USA is offering less money than a top-notch
Quarterback's contract. By Saturday the ante had been jumped up tenfold
(dead now 150,000).  But this is still about what a Wall Street president
"earns" in a good year, and a third of what congress spends in an average
day.   

This frugalness might be understandable if Washington was really trying to
spare the taxpayers, but this is not true.  Mr. Bush is spurning the United
Nations because its members are staging a mild media revolt against the
President's Serial War policies. So Mr. Bush is turning his back on the
first big UN aid program to come along.  The idea is to starve the UN into
submitting control back to the USA.  

Let us put the cost of the tsunami in human lives into prospective. It has
claimed more than 70,000 lives and rising to double that. In one hour it
killed more than all the Americans who died in the long war against Vietnam
and Korea; but this is less then 10% of the number of Vietnamese our side
killed; It is a number is in the realm with the number of Iraqis the USA has
extinguished in the last 18 months, and it is 50 times greater than the
number of Americans who have died during the same period. How about the
dollar cost?

In his press release our President reminded the public how generous to
others his administration is with the taxpayer's money, but he stopped short
of providing any real numbers, so let us do so.  President Bush has inched
his commitment up to $35 million (later to 350 million) for tsunami victims,
but that does not compare to $12 Billion of taxpayer money given to the
State of Florida (hundreds of times more) where his brother happens to be
Governor.  

We have heard an embarrassed, but stifled report that in Fallujah the US is
giving $4000 to each returning household who evacuated before we destroyed
it. There were some 200,000 people involved.  This will cost undisclosed
hundreds of millions of dollars to rebuild what we destroyed in only a few
weeks.  

Our war against Iraq has cost taxpayers $200 billion, with another $76
billon about to be approved, and it if we killed 70,000 Iraqis that adds up
to a cost of $3,000,000 cost for every person kill in Iraq.  And since the
declared purpose of the "War on Terrorism" is to kill people, we should not
be shy about counting the cost of doing so.  To repeat, the USA's government
has spent about three million dollars to kill each of about 70,000 humans in
Iraq in some 18 months time.  If you want to argue that not that many have
been killed, then the cost per kill is that much higher.  Would you agree
our leaders are not tight fisted about spending our money?

The tsunami is a low cost killer compared to war, and it may also be more
humane. Drowning is quick compared to dying of burn wounds.  And the tidal
wave tends to wipe out the children, the old, and the weak.  This sounds
cruel, but it is nature's way.  Nature leaves more of the stronger alive,
the breadwinners, who have the job of supporting those left in the families,
and to rebuild. 

In contrast, our President's bombs and bullets are aimed at the strongest
Iraqis, the breadwinners, leaving more children with no one to feed them. 
Starvation will be less after a tsunami than after the bombing of Iraq.  The
proof of this is at least a half million children perished of starvation and
disease after the first Bush war in 1991.  A generation of fathers were
killed in that slaughter, so they were not there to feed the survivors! 
Nature is cruel, but it loves and forgives the survivors; tidal waves do not
hold grudges or play favorites.  War does!  

So now the USA is offering $350 million to help the United Nation relief
aid effort in the Indian Ocean.  To put his offer in perspective, this is
equal to the cost of killing 120 humans in Iraq.   No wonder Mr. Bush
sounded a little strained and short of words in explaining his  "generosity"
as he put it.  And don't forget, he gave away about 100 million for every
person killed in Florida earlier this year.  

There is nothing frugal about Mr. Bush, and you don't have to like the idea
of the United Nations to understand what is happening.  His niggardliness is
the first step in regaining control over the United Nations news agencies in
order to eliminate this small voice that is now constantly opposing his war
policy.  The UN is reflecting the view of the rest of the world, and
strangely it also reflects the views of We Hold These Truths recently,
though we have certainly not always felt that way!  

The Warmakers (now Neo-Cons), who prop Mr. Bush up for his press
conferences, cannot stand such organized resistance from the Creatures whose
first big act was to take a vote to create the State of Israel at an address
on the East River of New York.- end

We are witnessing a quarrel never before seen on the floor of the United
Nations, a small battle for control between the USA that created it, and the
rest of the world, whose members have, for 56 years, been along for the
ride.  Written eight years ago at a time when the USA owned and controlled
the United Nations and all the members did out bidding. -editor

This letter was written by Strait Gate Ministries' co-founder two years ago
to answer the questions that the whole world wants to know right now, but
does not seem to know how to ask.  "WHAT IS THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT and why do
millions, including our President, seem bent on enabling serial wars?"  The
real answer (not the ones we hear on the News Hour) will sting, but it will
lead to peace, and will help restore Christian values.  Please share it.

THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM IN THE MID EAST: Part II
WHY JUDEO-CHRISTIANS SUPPORT WAR
C. E. Carlson

The French author, Alexis de Tocqueville, wrote Democracy in America when
he traveled here in the first third of the 19th Century.  In ringing tones
he sang the praises of America's invulnerable strength and spirit.  He
attributed its greatness to its citizens' sense of morality... even with the
abundant church attendances he observed in America.  De Tocqueville wrote in
French and is credited with this familiar quote:  "AMERICA IS GREAT BECAUSE
SHE IS GOOD, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be
great."

GOLD: A Rediscovered Investment
The People's Problem of Dollar Dilution
By Charles E. Carlson

Since Day 911 the US dollar has fallen over 40% as compared to the Euro,
the European currency "basket."  About half of that drop occurred since May
2, 2003, when hostilities in Iraq were reported to have ended.  

This means that had you or I been in the know we could have earned about 10
years of savings account interest without buying a thing.  We could have
asked our respective international bankers (if we had one) to convert our
dollar savings accounts into Euros with a simple bookkeeping entry.  Yes,
there would have been a little red tape, but the international money dealers
and bankers do this all the time for their own accounts.  Perhaps we need to
know what they know? 

The mysterious Euro is not the only measure of the dollar's collapse. 
There is hardly a currency that has not gone up against the dollar,
including the South African Rand, which has more than doubled!  Stories of
the falling dollar are whispered in hushed tones but do not often make it
into the US press, or when it does the explanation is usually murky.

Few Americans as yet give any real meaning to the fall of the dollar or
related it to the rise in gold prices.  But it is not a coincidence, and
there is reason to believe the trend has not run its course.

If you were to ask your local bank VP to explain the relationship between
gold and the dollar, you could expect a long and confusing answer, ending
with something like this:  "Nobody knows what will happen in the final
analysis."  

Your banker's MBA or PHD degree does not equip him to understand anything
as basic as what makes gold and the dollar go up and down.  But the big
usury-bankers (internationalists with license to print diluted money out of
thin air) who own and run the Federal Reserve anti-bank and its clone
anti-banks in world financial centers understand gold very well.  You too
can understand it, and so can your l3-year old, if he is bright and willing.
 Here are a few questions you should be able to answer:

What do serial wars (one right after another) have to do with gold and the
dollar?
How is our currency diluted to where is buys less all the time?
What does the Federal Reserve System (FED) do?
Why didn't CNN or 60 Minutes explain this?
Who owns the gold?

This, Part I of GOLD: A REDISCOVERED INVESTMENT explained why logical
thinking persons might buy gold now, and why it made less sense to do so in
past decades. 
- End of review:   (Please undestand we are an educational organization and
Christian mission, and we do not sell gold, but we do sell the truth.)
