False Accusations, Spiritual Warfare, and Resisting Evil Through Faith

Speaker Identification

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo

The speaker identifies himself at the opening as World Pastor Tony Alamo and states that this is Part 145 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, program number 247. He remains the primary speaker throughout the program.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader

Sharon is named at the opening and closing as the person who will provide information about obtaining a copy of the program. During the program, Tony Alamo also directly asks “Sharon” to read a dictionary definition. The transcript does not explicitly identify every press-release reading handoff, but the female reader is assigned to Sharon where the context indicates another person is reading the document aloud.

Speaker 3 – Prerecorded Music

Two prerecorded musical segments appear in the program. The first is introduced as a song associated with the Apostle John and Revelation. The closing song is introduced as “Run On” and appears to be performed by the Stamps Quartet with a person whose name is transcribed approximately as “J.D. Sumner.” Much of both musical material is too garbled in the automated transcript to reconstruct reliably.

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

Hello again. This is World Pastor Tony Alamo. Today we’re in Part 145 of How to Have God’s Life Living in You, and this is program number 247.

If you’d like a copy—a CD or an audiotape—Sharon will tell you at the end of the program how you can receive one. She’ll tell you four different ways. The CD or tape is absolutely free, and that includes shipping and handling as well.

Today we have a program regarding something we hear from so many people out in radio and TV who tell us that they are falsely accused by the government. There are all kinds of accusations against people, their sons or daughters, or their interests, on what they say are false charges.

Ira Reiner, who was the district attorney of Los Angeles, was, in my opinion, a very corrupt D.A. He was eventually removed from his position after it came out that he had sent so many people to prisons and jails.

One of his jailhouse informants, named Louis Tackwood, was sent into our church to bring false accusations against me. After he was in the church for a while, he got saved, and he spilled the beans on Mr. Reiner. He was telling me all the things Reiner wanted him to do to me.

I said, “Well, will you write a piece of literature on this?” I mean, in Heaven this is going to be hilarious, recalling all these things. It will be played back to you just like a movie—the way that we overcame by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.

The Lord has given me a chore to do. He wants me to expose all these phonies in government who are torturing people by harassing them. It is torturous to put people in prison for nothing at all, just because of some wild dream that Reiner came up with, that the Pope comes up with, or that the President follows according to the instructions of the Pope.

The United States Army, which I say is now the world U.N. army, is bombing people and killing them and ordering Christians to be murdered, like at Waco and other places all over the world, and shifting the blame from the Vatican to everybody else but the Vatican.

But in eternity, you’re going to find out that it was just the way the Lord said: that the Vatican is the mother of every abomination on the face of this earth, and the beast that the Vatican controls and rides on is the one-world government. I also say the media is the voice, or mouth, of Satan.

In the Book of Revelation it talks about three unclean spirits coming out of the mouth of the dragon. I say one is the media, because primarily what they are saying is the voice of Satan. Number two is the beast, which is the government—the world government. The other is the false prophet, which I identify as Rome, the Roman Empire, the Catholic so-called church. These are frog-like, evil, unclean spirits.

We’re going to talk about these things. The devil is a liar. He brings accusations not only against Christians, but against people running for office whom they don’t want in office, whom the Vatican doesn’t want in.

You’ve got city government, county government, state government, federal government, and the judiciary, and I believe it is primarily controlled by the Vatican. Now, there are some people in government I’ve met who are not like that. They don’t put up with bringing false accusations. Some are pretty good people, but when they get saved, they get out of government.

Right now, see what I’m talking about: the end times, how evil everything is today, and all the false accusers. The Apostle John saw a lot of things that the Lord showed him. I’m going to play a song here associated with John and what he saw.

Speaker 3 – Prerecorded Music:

[Musical selection introduced as “I, John.” The automated transcript of the lyrics is largely unintelligible and cannot be responsibly reconstructed without inventing words. Repeated fragments reference John, angels, and a large number or multitude.]

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

Praise the Lord. I love the Book of Revelation. I love the entire Bible.

The Bible states that in the last days—and, of course, the Bible talks about resisting Satan—the way the Lord has taught me to resist him is to expose him. That’s the only way, and to clue the people of the world in on how the government works.

I was very fortunate when God gave Susie to me as my wife. She had worked at the Los Angeles Examiner, a huge newspaper. She was a reporter there and was sent out on many different assignments. She saw how, in her view, many people in the police department were corrupt and district attorneys were corrupt. I never knew these things.

I thought, you know, government, red, white and blue, Grandma, apple pie, and all this stuff—it was almost like committing blasphemy to me if you said anything against the government.

But there was a time, I say, when the United States government decided to become part of a one-world government, to throw in with all the other nations, so that we no longer have a U.S. Constitution. I believe we are now under the rule of world government, and I interpret the Bible as saying that this is the Antichrist, led by the Roman Empire cult or church called Catholicism.

Now, there are a lot of people out there who will take offense at that, and I believe they have propagandized and subverted you so much that you actually believe you’re not supposed to say anything bad about what I call the devil’s cult, the government, or the media.

“If you can’t say anything good, don’t say anything at all”—then that leaves only them with the power to talk evil about Christianity and to burn Christians up, like I say they did at the Waco massacre.

Things have become so subversive, in my view, that even presidents are giving orders, because they’re given to them by the Pope, to bomb innocent babies, their mothers, and their fathers all over the world, just as I say they did here in the United States of America at Waco.

I believe this world government really has no love at all for the United States of America. That’s why those who are puppets of this government, calling themselves United States senators, governors, and U.S. FBI people, know very well that they are no longer under the auspices of the United States of America. I say they are under the one-world government because they’re always going to the U.N.

The Constitution says they have to do this with Congress first and go to the Senate and ask permission, rather than operating with what I call the world dictatorship called democracy.

Then you have people in smaller government, like Los Angeles government, where Ira Reiner was district attorney. He sees how ugly and rotten everything is, so he figures, “I’m going to get in on the party. My job will be much easier if I can put people away by getting witnesses—even criminals, jailhouse witnesses—and maybe letting them out for a weekend.”

My brother used to be a disc jockey on the number-one station in Nashville. Some people connected with judges allowed a nightclub to open for him called DJ Dan’s, or [unclear name]. He was there, and it was a very corrupt place. People were taking drugs. He was trying to get out of it, but he didn’t want to get killed.

He was invited to a party where, he said, judges were present. At that time, they were wanting to send some Catholic women to jail for selling pies on the front lawn of one of their churches.

There are some beautiful little Catholic women. They just don’t realize, in my opinion, how corrupt the hierarchy of that “church” is.

They had a little roulette wheel. I remember when I was a kid in Lewistown, Montana, I used to love to go to Catholic bazaars because they had a roulette wheel. You could put a dime down, they’d spin the wheel, and if it hit the right number, you’d win a ham.

Back then—you know, I’m Jewish—but I ate ham, bacon, and everything because my dad didn’t follow those kosher laws. Kosher means clean. I’ll let you know about that too, you Gentiles out there. Even if a Gentile becomes saved, you’re still a saved Gentile.

I say the Jews were raised from the dead. They came out of a dead man and a dead woman, so there was a resurrection. We’re an unusual kind of people, and some people just don’t quite understand us. I’m sorry for that. By and by, you’ll know more about it.

Anyway, during this party my brother was invited to, he said the judges had a great big glass bowl, like a big fish bowl, full of marijuana cigarettes, and another bowl loaded with what he thought was heroin or cocaine. They were gambling, playing poker and twenty-one, and, according to his account, there were underage boys and girls in the nude serving drinks.

I mean, you talk about corrupt government. When I learned all these things, I was absolutely floored.

I had lived a pretty clean life. I was born in Missouri and raised in Montana. I didn’t see homosexuals up there. I come from where men are men and women are women. You didn’t see women walking around in men’s clothes or things like that. Now, I imagine everything has changed. I haven’t been there for quite a while.

Anyway, in Los Angeles, this district attorney, Ira Reiner, was trying to get me for child abuse. Then it hits the papers because, in my view, they’re connected with the newspapers, and everybody thinks I’m a child abuser.

Even if you’re only charged with it, it goes down into people’s minds. It’s a very subversive propaganda-type thing where they ruin people’s lives.

Louis Tackwood was a renowned jailhouse informant who, according to what I was told, was falsely informing on people for Ira Reiner. He came into our church to do this, and then he got saved.

I told him, “Would you write this up and put it in a piece of literature?” This is just one of the hundreds of different testimonies I can give you of different people who brought false charges against our church, against Susie, and against me, causing people in this world to believe we were worse than Adolf Hitler.

If I were unsaved, I could say, “Well, Ira Reiner is a homosexual,” and all kinds of things. I don’t know what he does. I could just lie. But Christians cannot lie.

I believe the Vatican’s whole empire is based on lies. Satan told Eve a lie, and I interpret the Bible as saying that the Vatican is powered by the spirit of the great red dragon, the devil.

So what I call Satan’s mouth—the news media, the one-world government, and the cult that runs these things—are, in my interpretation, the three unclean, frog-like spirits that come out of the mouth of the dragon.

The first one is the media, the second is the Roman Catholic cult, and the third is the beast, which is the government, the Antichrist. These three are the Antichrist. People think it’s some man. Yes, there are many antichrists. Even in the time of John, John said so. I say it is a corporate body of people who have Satan living in them, and they do all kinds of evil things and think it’s fun.

I remember when I was sitting in court with Jeffrey Dix, my attorney, and Sue Lewis from the sheriff’s department was sitting next to Jeffrey. This was the child-abuse charge they had on me that they had to drop. They dropped it, and I have newspaper headlines saying the Alamo charges were dropped in this child-abuse matter.

She looked at Jeffrey and said, “Isn’t this fun?”

He said, “What do you mean?”

She said something to the effect of, “Going to court like this—we know he’s not guilty, but don’t you get a kick out of it too?”

Jeff Dix didn’t think it was funny at all. I thought it was good that she was saying that to him because I wanted to lead Jeffrey to the Lord, and I finally did. I led his wife to the Lord before they were married, and then I married them at [unclear location]. I said, “I’m not marrying you unless you’re saved.”

He did get saved, and he realizes the power of God’s Word. That’s the only power in the whole world that is real. Satan has power to lie, to kill, and to steal.

Anyway, Louis Tackwood actually got saved in the church. I said, “Will you write this up?” Here is something that he wrote. We called it, back then, Subversive Los Angeles D.A. Against Tony Alamo and His Church.

Is this mine? What does this say?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

It’s a press release.

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

Oh, it’s a press release, but most of it was given to me by Louis Tackwood.

Go ahead and read some of it.

This is what we’re supposed to do. If you want to resist Satan, if you’re not exposing him, you’re not resisting him. Therefore, you must be part of him. As a Christian, we must keep the Lord’s commandment. He said, “Resist the devil.”

Resistance, to me, means expose him. Teach people what he’s doing so they don’t fall in and so they know how to war against him as well.

You can use all these testimonies here to show what may be happening to you. If they’re bugging you or trying to put you away in prison, you could use these. This is supposed to help you. That’s what I want to do: help you.

Finally, the D.A. in L.A. was removed because, I say, he caused so many people such suffering and grief that they finally got rid of him, and he is totally exposed now.

Go ahead and read.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“Los Angeles District Attorney Ira Reiner Uses the Criminal Element to Bear False Witness Against Tony Alamo and His Church.”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

What that means is that he uses criminals—the criminal element, criminals who are in jail—to bring false charges against people who are winning souls, people who are nice, clean-cut, outstanding citizens.

He’s using criminals, people who have been in jail all their lives, just because they want to get out of jail for a few days. They’ll do anything to do that.

If you ever get put in prison, watch out. Those criminals in there know if you’re anybody in the world at all. They’ll come up to you. If you tell them certain secrets about yourself, or even if they get to know you and don’t know anything damaging, I say the government gives them your files so they can look through them and figure out what accusation they can bring against you.

Then you’re sitting with them, and you think they’re your friend because they’re friendly with you. Then they bring these accusations against you. If they can make it stick, they can get out of prison.

Sometimes, I say, that’s what they did with Barry Haynes [name uncertain], who was in prison in [unclear location] for drugs. They pulled him out if he would testify falsely about me in the courtroom on the IRS charge. They had different people like that testify falsely against me.

We had many witnesses, but they wouldn’t let our witnesses come in. I had thousands of witnesses, and they wouldn’t let them come in. I call these courts today kangaroo courts. I say these judges are as corrupt as everyone else, even worse. They have no conscience about sending people to prison on false charges.

We’re living in perilous times. Go ahead and read.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“District Attorney Reiner is an avid user of criminal informers to concoct false cases against innocent people.

“Another paid police and district attorney liar, Leslie Vernon White, who was a seven-time convicted felon, demonstrated how false confessions and testimonies have been concocted. He said that these practices were widespread in the Los Angeles Police Department and District Attorney’s Office.

“By making a few phone calls from a pay phone, he was able to receive enough information about an existing case to fabricate a false confession of an unknowing, innocent prospect, which in turn would get him a weekend leave out of jail from District Attorney Reiner.”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

So they send you to prison for a year, three years, ten years, life, so these people can get out for the weekend. That’s the caliber of people, I say, who are doing this.

Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“He said that among the criminal informers the well-used slogan was, ‘Why spend time? Just drop a dime.’”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

Dropping a dime means calling the D.A. and coming up with a false story. Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“A notable defense attorney stated that the criminal informers ‘don’t even need a dime’ to make the fraudulent calls for information to concoct false testimony.”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

One of my friends is Danny Davis. He was on a court case that we’re going to hear about in a few minutes. It was a child-molestation case involving a daycare center—the McMartin case.

They were accused of molesting children because of testimony involving a two-and-a-half-year-old child and his mother, whom the tract describes as mentally disturbed and says later committed suicide.

They dragged these people through the coals for years. It was one of the longest cases that ever happened in Los Angeles, and, according to what I’m reading, these people were found innocent. Reiner had charged seven or more of them—I forget—but you’ll hear about it later in the literature.

Go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“There are instances where the district attorney would give criminal informers police case files to review themselves, making it very easy for criminals to concoct a false confession or testimony against someone else, like Tony Alamo and his churches.”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

Yes, just as they were trying to prove that Tony is a child abuser—not a molester, a child abuser.

I never abused a kid in my life, or anybody for that matter. If anyone in this church ever abused a child, they’d be sent out of here so fast. I would even report them to the child welfare department.

Why? Because I don’t like people who abuse children. I really despise them because they’re taking advantage of little kids who can’t defend themselves. They’re cowards.

I had an aunt when I was just a little kid who accused me of taking leaves off her son’s rubber-tree plant. I was only about three or four years old. I said I didn’t do it. She had it right by a floor heater, and the leaves must have fallen off from the heat.

She slapped my face so hard that I couldn’t believe anyone would be that violent to me because my mother and dad loved me a lot and took good care of me. I could never stand her all my life because of that.

When you do something to a kid two or three years old, you can make yourself an enemy for the rest of your life. I always stayed clear of her. She had to be a mental case to do that. I never did anything to her of any significance. As a matter of fact, I even helped her and Stan, her husband, on many occasions.

Now, concerning Lancaster Deputy District Attorney Foltz, I say this Foltz was actually a child molester and was mentally ill, and that there are records concerning that. I say he abused children, including his own children, and beat his wife for absolutely nothing.

In the Old Testament, if a woman committed adultery, she was to be stoned to death. To me, under the New Testament, I say divorce her and get her out of your house.

Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“Many defense attorneys insist that District Attorney Reiner and other Los Angeles prosecutors, such as Lancaster Deputy District Attorney Foltz, have had an organized, formalized system of using unreliable criminal informers for a long time. They also stated that they have specific examples that this continues, even though District Attorney Reiner expounds differently.

“Reiner absolutely refused to talk to 60 Minutes on his use of bogus informers.

“To mention just one of many cases, District Attorney Reiner initiated false charges against Bobby Fielder [name spelling uncertain], a candidate for the U.S. Senate. She was almost immediately cleared of all wrongdoing by the Superior Court, and the charges were dismissed.

“But in the meantime, because of District Attorney Reiner’s false charges, her opportunity to make it into the Senate was obliterated. Reiner had absolutely no grounds for his false charges against Bobby Fielder. He was doing no less than smearing a candidate for high office using the especially deadly poison of a felony accusation.”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

Well, I say he had grounds to do it in his own mind because that’s how he got his kicks—putting people away on false charges.

Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“He reduced the dignity of the great city of Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office to a despicable hatchet job, just as he is now doing against Pastor Tony Alamo and his church.”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

Well, this was years ago. This article that I wrote here helped get him removed from office.

Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“In another case, an ex-policewoman was writing a book about the Los Angeles Police Department. As she was nearing completion of the book—”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

She was pulling the lid off and showing what they are.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“She was arrested in a Reiner-inspired police ‘sting’ and falsely charged with pandering.”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

Pandering? Do you know what pandering is? Sharon, read from the dictionary what pandering is.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

A person who panders is a person who solicits clients for a prostitute.

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

So they accused her of being a pimp, that she was recruiting clients for prostitutes.

Then go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“At her trial, the chief witness against her, a police agent, stated that she wanted to help arrest her to keep her from completing her book.

“After a brief time in jail, she was out on probation. District Attorney Reiner argued that she should be given at least three years in prison because her crime of pandering was compounded by having written a book attacking a public institution and public employees.”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

You know, I know something else about the police department there. There was a singer who sang in the movie The Long, Hot Summer. His name was transcribed here as Jimmy Rogers. He sang “Honeycomb” and other big songs.

The police stopped him one night, and I say they beat him to the point where he couldn’t sing again for the rest of his life, right at the height of his career.

“Well, it’s a darn good life, and I have a wife like Honeycomb”—I really liked that song. It came out when I was in Canada, in Winnipeg, where it was miserably cold, and that song was so nice.

He was one of the best singers in this whole world, in my opinion, and nobody even mentioned it. It was mentioned a little bit, but they didn’t mention that he got beat up or anything. I say they beat him to where he couldn’t even think anymore, and no one stood up for him.

I’m so happy to have an opportunity to pull the lid off of that.

And he wasn’t Black. He was white. There’s no such thing as a white person, incidentally. Why, I see a sheet of paper over here. I’m Caucasian, but I’m not white. If I were white like this paper, I’d figure I’d be a dead man. There are no white people. I’m green. I’m a Jew. We all have red-colored skin, so don’t call me white.

Okay, then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“In a brief, Reiner went on record saying that she should be thrown in jail not only for pandering, but also for daring to criticize the government.”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

Yes, this wonderful government, led, I say, by the Antichrist Pope in Rome. Everyone’s picking up that style of living today to where it’s making it unlivable for people who are of the Lord.

It would be so happy to be in Heaven. Amen.

Okay, then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“This Vatican government is evil. We must set up a government to protect us from this evil Vatican government.

“Regarding the McMartin preschool molestation case, District Attorney Reiner has been accused of ‘outrageous government misconduct.’ After years of trial, one of the costliest and longest in history, District Attorney Reiner had to dismiss charges against five of the original seven defendants for lack of evidence.

“The direct result has been the torture of these innocent people from the beginning of this case. Hundreds of felony counts of child molestation were all inspired by the incoherent whisperings of a pre-verbal, two-and-a-half-year-old child and his mother, described here as a known mental case who later committed suicide.

“In 1980, as Los Angeles City Controller, District Attorney Reiner was accused by four different legislators of engaging in a smear campaign against them.

“Reiner criticizes and demotes other district attorneys and prosecutors, including De Augustino [name uncertain] and Chief Deputy Gilbert Garcetti, who criticized him or ran against him in elections.

“The Republican Party stated that Reiner found political fortune by criticizing the spending habits of other public officials, yet he uses county-paid bodyguards to pick up his laundry and chauffeur him around town at a cost of nearly four hundred thousand dollars a year.

“In 1980, City Controller Ira Reiner was scolded by the City Council for a ‘major miscalculation’ of twenty million dollars of city funds. To top this off, his error cost the city over one million dollars more.

“Reiner was publicly reproved by the California State Bar for violating rules of professional conduct. He, in turn, stated, ‘The Bar has a distorted view.’ Reiner’s mistakes in this incident alone cost the city an estimated two million dollars.

“Reiner refuses to show any remorse for his errors. Ira Reiner’s wife is a Los Angeles Superior Court judge, Diane Wing [name uncertain]. Howard Jarvis suggested that Reiner’s wife was appointed to the Superior Court bench by Governor Jerry Brown as a ‘political debt’ to Reiner.

“One reporter, in profiling Mr. Reiner, commented about his reluctance to ever discuss his personal life. Many of his ‘inner-circle’ friends are of a very questionable reputation.

“A prostitute whose clients are among District Attorney Reiner’s elite inner circle stated that it is a common thing for her clients to speak of District Attorney Reiner’s sexual involvement with children.”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

Marvin Mitchelson said this man is a child abuser and child molester on top of it, and he’s accusing me falsely and sends Louis Tackwood into the church to make this charge—and some of you people out there believed him.

Okay, then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“Marvin Mitchelson is a good friend of District Attorney Ira Reiner.”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

Now, Marvin Mitchelson said his wife wanted me to do an artistic denim jacket with a picture of their castle in the background and her standing by a Rolls-Royce with a little poodle dog on a leash. So I did it.

She wanted to start doing [unclear phrase]. She’s from Italy. Her name is transcribed as Marcella Mitchelson.

Marvin Mitchelson is the one who was famous for palimony lawsuits. He was a divorce attorney, and when there were people who were companions, he would pursue what they called palimony instead of alimony.

I really didn’t know it at the time, but I found out all about Marvin Mitchelson, and he was a buddy of Ira Reiner.

So go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“State Bar Chief Trial Counsel James A. Baske [name uncertain] said, ‘We have in excess of 20 complaints against Mr. Mitchelson.’

“Mitchelson is presently facing possible disbarment. The California State Bar is also investigating allegations made by two former clients that Mitchelson sexually assaulted them. One involved a claim of rape. A June 60 Minutes report cited five other women who have accused him of rape or sexual assault.”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

These were movie stars—people who would go to him for normal divorces too, like some of these movie-star women.

Go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“District Attorney Reiner concluded that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute his friend Marvin Mitchelson. The victims complained that District Attorney Reiner gave Mitchelson preferential treatment.

“A Los Angeles County grand jury repeatedly requested more investigation into the rapes and sexual assaults and District Attorney Reiner’s failure to prosecute Mitchelson.”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

When I was in prison, I went for a parole hearing. I was in prison for the Gospel’s sake. They transferred me over to Fort Worth for my parole hearing, and when I was there, I saw Marvin Mitchelson. He was in there too. So, have fun, Marvin.

Then what else?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“District Attorney Reiner refused the request, and one juror even resigned in protest.

“A prostitute whose clients are among District Attorney Reiner’s ‘inner circle’ said that it is a well-known fact that District Attorney Reiner didn’t pursue charges against Mitchelson because of their friendship.

“She said that Reiner is known to protect his friends and political associates who are involved in numerous criminal activities while fabricating charges against his enemies.”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

Before he went to prison—before I did too—Marvin Mitchelson called me up and said, “Tony, I just love that jacket that you did for my wife. It’s not hers anymore. It’s mine, because I wear it all the time.”

I said, “Look, Marvin.” I guess I had told his wife to call me because I knew he was buddies with Ira Reiner. I said, “Tell Reiner to lay off, man. I’m not a child abuser.”

He said, “Now, Tony, you just go to bed tonight and be calm. Get yourself a good night’s sleep because Mr. Reiner will definitely—I’ll get him to definitely drop those charges.”

The next day it was in the paper, and it was even worse. That’s why I decided to put this literature out, because, in my opinion, he was as big of a weasel as Reiner.

Thank you. Go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“She also states that Reiner ‘looks the other way’ in regard to prostitution and cocaine use among his elite associates.

“District Attorney Reiner uses mentally disturbed Lancaster Deputy District Attorney Foltz—”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

Yes, Foltz. That’s the one I told you about whom I say was mentally disturbed.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“—who says he issued warrants for the arrest of five Alamo church volunteers.

“Foltz’s witnesses are all criminals and are known to lie for money. Reiner’s and Foltz’s purpose is to malign and close the Alamo church by lying about Pastor Tony Alamo with false child-abuse charges.

“They wish also to inflame the general public with false media propaganda from the District Attorney’s Office so that people will think they are doing God a favor by murdering Alamo and destroying the church, or putting him away in prison forever.”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

Now, like I said, these charges were all dropped, and they certainly were not dropped because of Ira Reiner or Marvin Mitchelson or Foltz.

I say Foltz was actually indicted for child abuse and child molesting himself. He claimed that he was mentally ill, so they sent him to a psychiatrist and he was under treatment. Yet, I say, they still didn’t fire him. They just kept him on.

Then they were attacking other people through Ira Reiner and Foltz. That’s why the Lord says there is injustice in high places. The judges are going to be judged by the Lord, and they’re going to go to hell if they don’t repent.

I want them to repent. I want Ira Reiner to repent. I like the way Marvin Mitchelson talks. He seems to be a nice guy. I was a bad person before I was saved also, so I pray for those people.

What kind of a Christian would I be if, after the way I was and God saved me, I wouldn’t have mercy on these kinds of guys? But I just don’t want them in office because, I say, they torture people and bring false accusations against the Gospel, the Word of God, and churches that are doing good for humanity in the name of the Lord.

The Lord called us to do those things.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“This setup is an old Vatican tactic to get rid of Christians: throw them in the lions’ den. This order has surely come down from the Vatican.

“Reiner and Foltz are only pitiful little puppets and are doing what they’re told by Rome’s ambassadors, even though they knew that their careers would be ruined if the facts of their backgrounds and what they are presently doing to Alamo were revealed by Alamo’s literature.

“Lancaster Deputy District Attorney Robert Bruce Foltz should be disqualified from his position because of his self-confessed mental-breakdown problems and numerous frauds.

“Robert Bruce Foltz is a deputy district attorney under District Attorney Ira Reiner. He is presently under investigation and facing five years’ probation or possible disbarment by the State Bar of California in response to numerous complaints brought against him.

“He has stated in a legal brief that his malpractice was due to his having ‘experienced severe psychological implications resulting in a total mental breakdown.’”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

This piece of literature goes back, what, 20 or 25 years? See what the date is on here. This is nothing recent.

June 1989. This was written in 1989. It was happening before that, but I put the pen to it, and Louis Tackwood was involved in that period too.

Go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“He sought psychological counseling and has been diagnosed as suffering from chronic, nonspecific depression.

“He abandoned his private law practice in September 1984, along with all his clients and their cases. He immediately went to work for Ira Reiner at the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office and has been so employed ever since.”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

And, according to this, he left his clients high and dry in the middle of their court cases. Nice guy.

Then what else?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“Foltz is presently the defendant in case number C8 741 [case number uncertain] before the Superior Court of the State of California and is being sued for legal malpractice, breach of contract, fraud, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

“The plaintiffs are alleging that Robert B. Foltz abandoned their case while representing them and then fraudulently led them to believe that he was still pursuing their case for years.

“The plaintiffs’ attorney, Gerald Fink [name spelling uncertain], alleges that Foltz will not produce documents, show up for his deposition, or even return his phone calls made to the District Attorney’s Office.

“Foltz’s defense to these charges is to plead insanity and hide behind District Attorney Reiner’s office, hoping that the statute of limitations for damages against him will run out.

“Foltz and Reiner and a few other criminals are manufacturing the story that Tony Alamo is a child abuser.

“It is our understanding that the District Attorney’s Office is currently under investigation for using criminals to fabricate stories against citizens in the Los Angeles area.

“Admitted insane man District Attorney Foltz is the pawn that District Attorney Reiner is presently using to harass and bring false child-abuse charges against the Holy Alamo Christian Church by the use of false criminal testimony.”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

Now, this isn’t just confined to Los Angeles. I say they’ve been bringing testimony like this against us in New York, Fort Smith, Arkansas, Texas, Indiana, Little Rock, Arkansas, Dallas, Texas—everywhere we go.

The devil just comes and starts following the same pattern. It keeps going on, and finally the general citizens start believing this garbage, and then they want to form a mob.

We even had a mob against the church over in south Arkansas. It doesn’t matter where you go. In Dyer, Arkansas [place spelling uncertain], the little town there, they were rising up against us, saying, “We’ve seen about you on the Internet, and we see all those newspaper articles.”

You hillbillies, get right with God. Why don’t you ask me and let me tell my side of the story? A bunch of weasels.

I’m Southern-born also. I was born in Bethlehem, Missouri, in the Ozarks. Susie was born over in Arkansas. We always give people a chance to defend themselves.

You people are the wicked ones. You would have been the same ones who would have come against Christ and let Him be nailed to a cross. You bunch of rotten people, repent.

I’m not holding anything against you. I was wicked at one time, but don’t call yourselves Christians.

This [unclear United Pentecostal reference] in [unclear], Arkansas, has been coming after us. I say it’s jealous because we have beautiful flowers around our place, we’re winning souls, and we’re making them look bad because they don’t win souls.

So they have to rely on these false articles about us in the past and none of our true voice. So, you know, back off.

Then what?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“Louis Tackwood’s long criminal record shows the caliber of Los Angeles District Attorneys Reiner and Foltz’s witnesses against Alamo. Their own testimonies correspond identically with Tackwood’s.

“Louis Tackwood is a former gang member with a long criminal record of over 41 felony counts against him. He began working as a criminal police informer in 1962 after being busted for auto theft.

“He was left out to walk the streets on the agreement that he would cooperate and inform for the police and district attorney’s offices. The police would supply him with narcotics, guns, and explosives to use in setting people up for busts.

“Tackwood is a professional agent provocateur, a police agent who is introduced into an organization with instructions to foment discontent or to fake a case in order to give his employers the right to act against the organization in question.

“Disruption, entrapment, and false information are his daily duties. Tackwood also states that one of his employers, the Criminal Conspiracy Section of the LAPD, spends all its time cooking up false criminal conspiracies against targeted organizations.”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

You see, this is Louis Tackwood, who went into our church and then was saved in the church. He said, “I can’t stand what they’re doing to you,” and he informed us about all the stuff they were doing.

He turned out to be a good guy. He was an evil person, and then he was led to the Lord by me.

Okay, good. What else?

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“Tackwood stated that because of his longtime service as an illicit informer and agent provocateur, the district attorney granted him a ‘license to steal’ and, in one case, ‘to kill,’ in return for his services.

“Tackwood admitted that he had fabricated lies on many occasions and had many people sent to jail, some even to death row, based on Tackwood’s lying testimony.

“Three reporters from the Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, and The Washington Post interviewed Tackwood at length and then took him to a lie-detector expert to verify his statements.

“Chris Goggis [name uncertain], board chairman and past president of the American Polygraph Association, stated, ‘The examiner is of the opinion that Louis Tackwood did answer all critical questions truthfully in his examination and that his statements have considerable validity.’

“In reference to his work and tactics with the police, Tackwood said that the Intelligence Division of the LAPD that controlled him also controlled murderers, and if they wanted you dead they would set you up for a hit.”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

Remember, I say they were hiring John Peeler to kill me. He was an FBI man. So, in my view, the government is very well known for this sort of thing.

Then go ahead.

Speaker 2 – Sharon / Female Reader:

“He said that in working with the Criminal Conspiracy Section, CCS, of the LAPD, the LAPD agreed they would invent and exaggerate minute points and then blow them into a case.

“He said, ‘Everybody thinks that, speaking of the department, when you say criminal conspiracy, you mean that they’re out to combat criminal conspiracy—’”

Speaker 1 – Host Tony Alamo:

Well, I see our time is up.

Remember, I’m telling you these things because I want you to know—and I believe God wants you to know—who the devil is and how he works. If you don’t know who your opponent is, who your enemy is, how can you resist him?

They’re trying to make it look like their enemy is invisible and that these terrorists are invisible. I say these terrorists are right from the Vatican. I say the Vatican is the one doing all this stuff.

People say, “No, Bush did.” No. I say he’s a puppet of the Vatican. The Vatican wants him to take the heat for it, but I believe it’s really them.

So they’re the root. Dig the root up and the rest of the tree and all its branches die.

Those of you who want to be saved and be more informed than you are today, all you have to do is ask the Lord to come into you. Then, after the hunger and thirst comes into you with the Lord, when He enters you by the Spirit, read the Bible, learn these different things, and be able to receive them.

The beginning evidence is to say this prayer to the Lord and mean it with all your heart.

We don’t mean any harm to Louis Tackwood, Ira Reiner, or any of these people we’re exposing. We want them to be saved. We doubt very much whether they even know because, in my view, they’re blind and in darkness. We want them to be saved.

So let’s pray that you’ll be saved right now so that you can help others be saved as well.

Say to the Lord, and mean it with all your heart:

“My Lord and my God, have mercy upon my soul, a sinner. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God, and I believe that He died on the cross and shed His precious blood for the forgiveness of all my filthy sins.

“I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. I open the door of my heart and invite You into my heart, Lord Jesus.

“Wash all my filthy sins away in the precious blood that You shed for me. You will not turn me away, Lord Jesus, because Your Word says that all who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

“Therefore, I know You’ve heard me. I know that You have answered me. I know I’m saved, and I thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving my soul.”

Just raise your hands up and praise and thank the Lord as Sharon comes forth here to show you four different ways that you can receive a copy of program number 247, free of charge.
