Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow by C. Cumbey


So what are the new social movements ? What direction is politics taking ? As FDR said, "in politics nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way". What direction is our planet moving towards ? Are we witnessing the rise of the global Religious leaders, while Political leaders are stuck in irrelevance ? Are there forces working to misuse your goodwill ? Are we about to see Heaven on Earth, a passage to Planetization, the ushering in of a Holy Millennium, with the leading of the next Pope ? Are we as people going to be able to retain any personal or local control over local politics or issues ? Or does the passage to the New World Order mean that you, as an individual, must give up all of your rights, especially if you are living in the Western nations ? Do you actually only have value, only as long as you are treated as a cell, part of a much larger organism contributing to the larger society ? What happens if you decide not to volunteer ? Loving peace is great, but actually making peace is much more difficult, messy, and challenging. Is the New International Order about to change ? Will Israel finally find its long awaited Messiah has much in common with a Mahdi (Islamic Messiah) who will step out of a well (twelver) and announce that he is going to usher in a time of Global Peace, after a mandatory period of dark revolution that is about to last seven years ? Will all nations give up their currency, or only those Americans who have relied on the Banker's Federal Reserve Notes (i.e. Dollars) ?


What are the results of a Global Economic Crisis or a worldwide famine ? Will the IMF-BIS -World Bank work with the European Central Bank (ECB) to usher in a wonderful new global currency, which after all, only asks that you have your personal identification on your right hand or forehead ? Wasn't that plan mentioned in the Book of Revelation ? Are the new forming governments in the moslem world part of the King of the South ? Do we have the chance, through salvation, to become the Adopted sons of God, or are we instead waiting a global human messiah who accomplishes signs and wonders, and who promises that you too, can share his power if only you will worship him, and give him your allegiance ? What could be wrong with a little messiah worship ? Is our personal eternal spiritual destination actually a part of this scenario ? Are the issues of the surrender to the new globalism, part of a much larger transnational plan, that may have consequences that may turn all nations into Huxley's Brave New World, leading to a Prison Planet ? This book gives the details about the near advent of a very human messiah, along with the documentation and historical links. The author shows some previous attempts to bring this about, and what this now will mean for you, your children, your family, and your community. Are the riders of Pale Horses about to ride ?

Do you wish that someone would tell you the near-future, so you could at least understand all the chaos and where this is leading ? Surely, the few pages of concern are nothing to those who believe in these wonderful times ahead. All sides agree on the events, that just happen to be mentioned in the books of Daniel and Revelation. The main question remaining is what those events mean to each of us, and what we must do, and whether or not the original owner of the planet, its maker (God), would be about to re-assert, that He is truly in control, and the choice is whether to accept Him, or accept a much worse alternative. The challenge with gods is that they think on such a fantastic scale. Let those who proclaim their own Godhood demonstrate it by creating a planet of their own, changing the tides, affirming their own prosperity. God loves all mankind, but there may be some, who would want others to be kept in the dark about the politics of the New Dark Ages. This book seems to have been written to give the reader some chance of being able to learn and understand the forces behind the scenes that move the political levers of the global community.

Excellent overview of the New Age Movement. Constance Cumbey was the first to expose the New Age Movement for what it truly is, Lucifer's spirituality. This book covers very detailed data on the movement and its agendas. It reflects years of in-depth and extensive research. The author claims the movement's supreme purpose: is to subvert our Judeo-Christian foundation and create a one-world order through a complex network of occult organizations. Much of what she warns about in this book written in 1985 has come to pass. She is not a prophet merely a researcher that uncovered and exposed the plans of the new age movement by reading their own works. This is one of the most comprehensive overview of the new age movement.

The author is a Christian Lawyer from the Detroit area. I can't recall the impulse that caused her to research the New Age Movement so thoroughly and impressively but, nonetheless, we should be grateful for the author's expertise as she names names and networks that are spewing the untruths from theosophists such as Alice Bailey and Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, whose names are still revered today by the global elite, NWO proponents who worship Lucifer. Book was published in early 80s and much has come to fruition as author suggested in the book. A worthy read as it is vital to know the dark path we are being forced into. . . if we want that life. Jesus said "those that find their lives will lose it, and those that lose their life will find it."

Constance Cumbey seems to have missed Isaiah 8:12 & 13, where God reminds us that He is the one to fear, not conspiracies. If the Bible is to be believed, then God is in charge, and will ultimately win; our choice is to either join him or fight him. While Cumbey rightfully recognized the New Age movement as a movement against the Biblical God, she tended to exaggerate its importance (and, back in the eighties, some of her followers went even further). Satan is just as happy with people who consider themselves Christians but don't follow God and use their religion to abuse, or with people lost to materialism, as he is with those who've fallen in with the New Age.

This book is a comically-preachy indictment of all religions that aren't Christianity, with absolutely zero substantiated evidence for why such New Age fads are "dangerous". Ms. Cumbey quotes other texts by other zealous fundamentalists, to be sure. However, the credentials of these people remain a mystery. Anyone can write a book, and anyone with enough money can get it published. Had I the funds, I could write a "revealing, riveting best seller" on the nature of human genomes and cloning and my opinions of the matter; throw in a few quotes by people who may or may not sound like they know what they're talking about, and there you go. The point is, my knowledge of such topics is sorely limited, as is Ms. Cumbey's research. Yet somehow a book that would never earn a passing grade in a collegiate literature course for lack of research and depth of understanding is littering our shelves. Well, I'm baffled.

If you are a fundamentalist Christian you will like this book. If you are not (like me) it is essential to focus at the rest of the information that is provided in this well researched book. It will help you understand the connections between: National socialism - Theosophy - Occult - New Age - New World Order. You can appreciate this book if you make a good use of the hidden information provided (such as the true autocratic nature of the New Age movement and that it has started, maintained and controlled by the Theosophists i.e. occultists).

For example, at the source books of the New Age movement, the Alice E. Bailey, David Spangler, Agni Yoga, Theosophical, Rosicrucian, H.G. Wells writings - and see cold plans for a near future "cleansing action", especially when the reader realizes he is among to be "cleansed", we read: «all who express recalcitrance towards the New Age "Christ" will be released from physical embodiment and sent to "another dimension other than physical incarnation"», certainly does nothing towards giving the reader warm feelings about those authors and their followers: the New Agers.

If you have been blindly following all the pink fluffy new age ideas and initiative invocations, then this book will help you see the bigger picture.

Though, as is typical of any old conspiracy book, history has rendered it somewhat alarmist and far-fetched. Yet, for all that, this was a very good, very well-researched, and surprisingly intelligent work that hardly loses the force of its argument against the nefarious intentions behind certain "New Age" movements. This isn't a screaming tract about how your everyday tarot reader, yoga instructor or reiki enthusiast is actually a satanist planning worldwide revolution. Rather, it is a cautionary report about the origins of these movements, and the ominous statements made by many of the champions of old, and leaders of current New Age organisations, regarding the dilution of Abrahamic monotheism, so that a universalist doctrine can take the place of traditional religions, and so gradually root out any sense of individual autonomy.

The book clearly makes New Ageism to be more of a threatening, cohesive, monolithic entity than it is, but I would not say these isn't a good deal of truth, or at least cautionary wisdom, to be found here all the same. It was also the first book of this type that I have read. So I personally enjoyed it, if "enjoyed" can be appropriately used here.

I found this book in a basement while cleaning out a friend of the family's apartment, and I thought perhaps it would be an entertaining so-bad-it's-good read. But unfortunately Constance Cumbey's The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow was just bad-bad, with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

It should go without saying that all the points Cumbey tries to make in this book (that the New Age movement is actually a secret luciferian/antichrist worshiping cult) have been disproved by the passage of time (not to mention reality) itself. This book is not about convincing disbelievers though (the number one quoted source in here is the bible of course), but is really just fundamentalist delusion manifested in text format. And Cumbey makes no qualms about being a Christian fundamentalist. I quote: "We can and must realize that there is nothing inherently wrong with fundamentalism. If anything, we are not fundamentalist enough..." (87).

Therefore this book really just boils down to Cumbey calling Christians she disagrees with Nazis. Her logic is spectacular in its shallowness. For example, she argues that Hitler was actually a member of the New Age Movement, and her proof of this is a quote from a 1972 book by prominent New Ager which mentions a past historical attempt to unite Europe around the Rhine River valley. Her excitement is palpable when she then writes, "Even a failing history student will recognize the fact that it was Hitler who tried to unite Europe, using the Rhine River valley as a binding factor!"

And this is the crux of the problem with this book for me. Constance Cumbey is an amateurish writer and a terrible researcher. Reading this book was an exercise in futility, as I had to check every quote and source she used to see if it was properly used. Usually she leaves out context or the sources she uses are as unreliable as her own book. And those are the sources she actually cites, many times she fails to even cite her sources at all, which is a red flag for either laziness or duplicity. Besides her inability to properly contextualize or cite sources, the writing in this book has to be the worst I have read in years. She constantly repeats herself, reusing the same talking points from chapter to chapter, and paragraphs will just appear in the middle of a page with no connection to what came before or after it.

Finally, one of the factors which precluded this book from being good-bad, is that it is tragic to read how Cumbey fell down this rabbit hole of conspiracy. The origin story goes, she discovers that a old acquaintance of hers is part of the New Age movement, so she takes her to dinner to confront her about her New Age views. Her friend makes a statement about contradictions in the Bible, and that she feels the antichrist has been misunderstood. Cumbey is mortified, she writes "that statement literally changed the course of my life, causing me to lay aside my law practice and concentrate researching and exposing the New Age Movement." There is just something so terribly sad about that sentence to me, how she dove headfirst into conspiracy seemly based solely on someone disagreeing with her interpretation of the Bible. This type of fundamentalist mindset is terrifying to me, and I take only a small sense of comfort in knowing that The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow languishes in obscurity and reduced to littering the dust filed basements of fundamentalist Christians.

A FAMOUS/INFAMOUS EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN "CONSPIRACY" BOOK

Constance Cumbey (born February 29, 1944) is a lawyer and activist Christian author. She has also written 'A Planned Deception: The Staging of a New Age "Messiah"'.

She wrote in the Preface to this 1983 book, "The purpose of this book is to inform the unsuspecting of the events that may lie immediately ahead and of the persons and organizations helping to manipulate them. More importantly, it is about 'strengthening the weak hands and confirming the feeble knees' with the help of God, so that 'we might be counted worthy' to stand the things that must come upon the earth if all is to be fulfilled as written."

Here are some quotations from the book:

"I must confess that, like many of my peers, I paid scant attention to end-time prophecies in my adult years. This changed for me when I began to notice a profusion of materials in bookstores, both religious and secular containing similar unique vocabularies and an apparent political platform... The vocabularies included such New Age 'buzz' words as holistic, Spaceship Earth, Global Village, celebration/celebrative, transformation, crowded planet, paradigm, right brain/left brain/whole brain, matrix, linear thinking, dualistic, mechanistic, global thread, new vision, initiation, interdependent, new age, etc." (Pg. 26-27)
"It is the contention of this writer that for the first time since John penned his words, there is a viable movement---the New Age movement---that truly meets the scriptural requirements for the antichrist and the political movement that will bring him on the world scene." (Pg. 39)
"At any rate, for all practical purposes, the New Age Movement appears to qualify as a revival of Nazism. This is not to call every New Ager a Nazi... Similar to Nazism, the New Age Movement is organized like a gigantic corporation." (Pg. 99)
"Clearly, enforced attendance at these New Age seminars is a form of religious discrimination by the employer that should not be tolerated." (Pg. 132)
"(Tom Sine, author of The Mustard Seed Conspiracy) ridicules those who are fearful of the Humanist Manifesto, stating that there is not a shred of evidence to show that those signing it were in any way involved in a plot to take control of the world. On the contrary, there is ample evidence for that indeed." (Pg. 153)

I read this right after reading Acid Dreams by Bruce Shlain and Martin A. Lee, which was enlightening although I admit that both books are sort of poorly researched in some respects. It's important while reading books of this type to try to independently verify any claim that really interests you or stands out, or in other words, is worth repeating. That said, most of the stuff was verifiable and it was all very interesting.

Everyone should be aware of the fact that this book is going to appeal significantly more to Christians than non-Christians. As a matter of fact, if you are an atheist I predict you would get very little out of this book. Some of this stuff is sort of dated, but it still points out some really interesting connections that, if someone is particularly well read in this whole sort of hyper conspiratorial realm of literature, are bound to raise some eyebrows here and there. It's interesting and food for thought, and where it fails it is still entertaining.

Copyright is 1983 and the information contained in this book can be consider prophetic to a point.

Or, we can commend the author on a very well researched book. All-in-all, it clearly shows these agendas have been planned for decades if not centuries and these global organizations and NGO's continue to use the same Playbook.

No longer a conspiracy theory as many will call it, the "PLAN" of these delusional elitist is out in the open and being meet with great resistance.

It's full of good information if you ever doubted the existence of NWO or illuminate this takes the cover off the identies responsible for evil plots to control the population. The only problem i found that she quotes satanic garbage to make her points and i was not interested in reading blasphemy.. very eye opening book
