James C. Russell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James C. Russell, Ph.D. is a Christian conservative activist most famous for his book The Germanization of Early Medieval Christianity: A Sociohistorical Approach to Religious Transformation. The study examines how Christianity changed in order to win the allegiance of the Germanic and Anglo-Saxon peoples. Russell argues that these Northern European peoples were far more resistant to conversion than the disaffected urban populace of the Roman Empire. [1] He says there is now afoot a conscious effort to de-Europeanize and to re-Judaize Christianity, through scriptural revision, internal treachery and external pressure.[2]

He opposed the Iraq war from the start because Saddam Hussein did not present an imminent threat. [6]

[edit] Historical Views

  • He writes

    "The accomplishments of Christopher Columbus have recently come under criticism by contemporary opponents of the West. In 1992, American Indian groups protested a parade in Denver to commemorate the 500th anniversary of his discovery of America, which was promptly canceled as a result. Public recognition of the contribution of Columbus’ sponsor, Queen Isabella of Spain, has fared even worse. She was denied even the minimal recognition of a stamp being issued in her honor, apparently due to her expulsion of the Jews from Spain and Portugal in 1492, the same year not only of Columbus’ discovery, but also of the Spanish victory over the Moors in Grenada and the subsequent Euro-Christian re-conquest of the entire Iberian Peninsula."

  • He contends that

    "Copernicus, Galileo, Newton and Kepler developed the mathematical and astronomical foundations of space exploration, which in this century was accelerated by the work of Robert Goddard, Werner von Braun and Arthur Rudolph. Rudolph’s service to the United States space program was rewarded by essentially being hounded out of the country after the government, at the behest of a shrill minority of ingrates, threatened to revoke his pension."

  • He claims that

    "Special respect is due to those composers who incorporated a national consciousness into their compositions, including Richard Wagner, Franz Liszt, Edvard Grieg, Antonin Dvorak, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Jan Sibelius, Giuseppe Verdi and John Philip Sousa. From Rienzi and the Ring cycle, to Parsifal, Wagner captured the Western ethos and developed what he termed Gesamtkunstwerke or “total art productions” in which he not only composed the music, but also wrote the lyrics, designed the stage sets and costumes, and eventually built his own opera house."

  • He proclaims

    "From Samuel Morse, Nikola Tesla and Guglielmo Marconi to Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell and Philo Farnsworth came great inventions with the potential to enlighten and fortify our People. Yet this potential was never realized. Instead these inventions were hijacked by Mayer, Thalberg, Warner, and Cohn et al who sought to utilize our media for their financial gain, or worse, to manipulate our opinions and behavior."
