Summary

The Vigilant Christian series make darkness visible. Each book is a tapestry of carefully explained events that actually happened, with each hair-raising assertion backed up with a thorough documentation of sources. Vigilant Christian IV: 9/11-The Secret War can help you deepen your understanding of history and prophecies described in Scripture. David Dionisi is the president of the Teach Peace Foundation. He delivers peace education programs and organized acts of kindness both in the United States and around the world. David's experience includes service as a senior executive with MetLife, DirectAdvice, and New England Financial. Prior to working in corporate America, David served the country as an army intelligence officer. His business and military experiences over the last thirty years are complemented by an extensive background as an international volunteer in Asia, Central America, Europe, and Africa. David is the recipient of the Martin Luther King Jr. Outstanding International Peace Leader award for his work helping orphans and poor children in Africa.

Excerpts

"In conspiracy theory," declares Wikipedia, "the term New World Order or NWO refers to the emergence of a totalitarian one-world government." The first three words of the opening statement of this entry in the most widely read encyclopedia in the world convey a sinister message to you: a clandestine war is going on for control of your mind, and the hidden hand has the upper hand. Dozens of books from tributary presses, brooking the suppressive current of the mainstream publishing market, have emerged to tell the breathtaking tale of the New World Order. Some of the books offer evidence in support of their assertions about a secret global elite shaping history are extremely difficult to deny. But what does that matter if only a marginal fringe of the populace ever reads them? Never has there been a more successful campaign of counter-propaganda than the one in our time, stifling the reasonable inquiries of the mind. Its negative psychology is simple, but oh so effective. Investment in a conspiracy, we are led to understand, is the sign of a degenerating mindset. To speak of conspiracies is immediately to be branded a quack, and therefore a laughing stock for ridicule. The upshot is that the evidence rarely gets weighed; the books going largely unread. Now we come to another book which quite obviously aims to penetrate the great wall of denial. What claims on your attention does it offer distinct from the others? My first answer is a "personal" one, which is to say it will reside in a few key facts about its author, David Dionisi. The most interesting fact is that a former military intelligence officer, wealthy capitalist, once comfortable Republican, should come, like Saul on the road to Damascus, to a moment of truth causing him to be totally transformed, and cause him to give his fortune away in pursuit of a cleaner, better world in which acts of kindness might prevail over heinous violence. I must leave you with only this hint, as his creation and sustaining of the world-changing Teach Peace Foundation would take us afield of our present focus. Still on the personal note, I move to reflect on the mind at work behind this book. In 2005, American Hiroshima appeared bearing Dionisi's name. Anyone who reads that book and then this one must be struck with the absorbing drama of a rare mind's progression. A genuinely open mind on display is always a rarity, a sheer phenomenon. The poet John Keats wrote of negative capability—the rarely met capability in human nature to let go of those preconceived convictions which provide us comforting security against the wrenching confusions of a too-complicated reality. American Hiroshima, with its thoroughgoing, withering exposure of all that even to this day threatens to leave our planet a corpse enshrouded in universal winter, is a work of value. Some of its premises, however, suffered from a reliance on tainted sources. In one more manifestation of rarity, Dionisi, identifying and apologizing for those false leads, demonstrates his honesty and humility. This leads to one other measure of the author before turning to his text. A glance at the myriad web of footnotes here tells the story: for Dionisi, the extreme opposite of the crackpot conspiracist stereotyped by propaganda, is relentless in his documentation of each and every claim he finds surfacing from his indefatigable research. It's important to keep this unique insistence upon authenticity in mind—because now I'm going to turn to anticipation of the text to follow, and suggest how what you will read goes beyond other exposés of the New World Order. Hold onto your hat! Because my sampling unadorned by Dionisi's carefully reasoned-out support of these claims, all tied to his reliable sources, will strain your credulity. 1. The tale of the box-cutter hijackers is a myth. 2. Al Qaeda was prefabricated for NWO propaganda purposes. AL QAEDA DID NOT EXIST ON 9/11. 3. Osama bin Laden's capture in Afghanistan, before September 11, 2001, was made known in a televised 2001 White House press conference. He was kept alive until May 1, 2011 to maintain U.S. public support for wars advancing a one-world government. 4. The entire Navy SEAL team credited with executing Osama bin Laden was killed by August 6, 2011. 5. The NWO, as part of its secret war, used Mossad agents to conduct the 9/11 terrorism. Given such hair-raising materials, perhaps it would be inappropriate of me to urge you to enjoy your read. But you must forgive this old literature professor if he turns again to the poet John Keats, who in the poem Ode on a Grecian Urn, pronounced possibly the most controversial declaration in the history of English letters, Beauty is truth, truth beauty. However disputable that assertion, at least we must agree that there is an immense satisfaction in learning the truth behind appearances. And while no one's truth can be trusted as infallible, I write to assure you that, in the present case, you're in good hands. Tom King, Ph.D.
