A Façade for the Global Lodge
Juan Sanahuja, Argentina
Among the lobbing groups that control the social anti-Christian machine, The Elders received attention this past July from the media. The Elders is a group whose apparent head is South-African Nelson Mandela and whose sponsors are millionaire Richard Branson (the Virgin Group) and musician Peter Gabriel (The Peter Gabriel Foundation), both Britons.
Just for the launching of their lodge in 2007 they raised 9 million English sterling pounds.
According to official information, The Elders “are an independent group of eminent global leaders, brought together by Nelson Mandela, who offer their collective influence and experience to support peace building, help address major causes of human suffering and promote the shared interests of humanity.”

On July 2, 2009, The Elders publicly stated that it would exert pressure on the “traditional religions” to change their principles and allow women to become ministers, priests and bishops. This is just the first action of its project titled Equality for Women and Girls.
“As Elders, we believe that the justification for discrimination against women and girls on grounds of religion or tradition, as if it were prescribed by a higher authority, is unacceptable,” the declaration reads.
It calls on all leaders “to promote and protect equal rights for women and girls.” In particular, it asks religious and traditional leaders “to set an example and change all discriminatory practices within their own religions and traditions.”
The spokesman for this initiative is ex-President Jimmy Carter, who recently left the Baptist Southern Convention after some 60 years of membership because of its treatment of women and girls. He announced that he would join ex-UN head Koffi Annan, Anglican bishop Desmond Tutu, Brazilian ex-president Fernando H. Cardoso and the other members of The Elders to fight for religions to stop discriminating against women.

The new group has close relations with the European Council on Foreign Affairs through its co-director, Mabel van Orange, who is also The Elder’s executive officer. It also has close links with the Open Society Institute of billionaire George Soros.
