A Boston College English professor resigned in protest over the Jesuit high-command's decision to invite Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to be the commencement speaker at this year's graduation ceremony.

Steve Almond resigned in disgust over Jesuit President, Fr. William P. Leahy's decision to let Rice speak to seniors, a move Almond says sends a "bad message" since Rice has lied "to the American people knowingly, repeatedly, often extravagantly over the past five years, in an effort to justify a pathologically misguided foreign policy."

Fr. Leahy's decision adds more fuel to a growing fire that the feared Jesuits are instigating and influencing American foreign policy in their hidden positions as the religious controllers of the New World Order, a position they have devilishly held for hundreds of years.

Critics have contended, including assassinated U.S. Presidents and disillusioned former Jesuits, that the Society of Jesus has an evil hierarchy with the goal to destroy major religions and countries, including Catholicism and America in its war-like drive to rule the world from Jerusalem with a one world government and religion based on Luciferian principles.

Further, critics contend the Jesuits government of choice is fascism, explaining why America's civil rights laws and constitutional protections have quickly evaporated.

"What a perfect cover," said author Bill Hughes, who recently finished his second book uncovering the Jesuit connection to the New World Order. "They recently have tried to stop me from an upcoming speech in Oregon, saying my message is nothing but hate speech not protected by the U.S. Constitution. I firmly disagree as do the organizers of the Oregon event coming up in June."

Regarding the Boston College teacher who resigned, it is another clear sign how the Jesuit hierarchy clearly promotes a war policy while hiding behind the cloth of peace and goodness provided by the Catholic Church.

They also claim this tacit approval of war, as a Jesuit University openly teams up with Rice and the neo-cons, is another clear sign why the Jesuits are called the "masters of deception and the ultimate chameleons," able to infiltrate at will any religion or government while proclaiming peace but secretly instigating war.

In an open letter sent to Fr. Leahy of Boston College, Almond detailed his reasons for resigning and his open protest of Rice and the Jesuit decision to allow her to address graduating seniors, urging them to investigate the words and actions of Rice, and to exercise their own First Amendment rights:

I am doing so (resigning) -- after five years at BC, and with tremendous regret -- as a direct result of your decision to invite Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to be the commencement speaker at this year's graduation.

Many members of the faculty and student body already have voiced their objection to the invitation, arguing that Rice's actions as secretary of state are inconsistent with the broader humanistic values of the university and the Catholic and Jesuit traditions from which those values derive.

But I am not writing this letter simply because of an objection to the war against Iraq. My concern is more fundamental. Simply put, Rice is a liar.

She has lied to the American people knowingly, repeatedly, often extravagantly over the past five years, in an effort to justify a pathologically misguided foreign policy.

The public record of her deceits is extensive. During the ramp-up to the Iraq war, she made 29 false or misleading public statements concerning Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and links to Al Qaeda, according to a congressional investigation by the House Committee on Government Reform.

To cite one example:

In an effort to build the case for war, then-National Security Adviser Rice repeatedly asserted that Iraq was pursuing a nuclear weapon, and specifically seeking uranium in Africa.

In July of 2003, after these claims were disproved, Rice said: 'Now if there were doubts about the underlying intelligence . . . those doubts were not communicated to the president, the vice president, or to me."

Rice's own deputy, Stephen Hadley, later admitted that the CIA had sent her a memo eight months earlier warning against the use of this claim.

In the three years since the war began, Rice has continued to misrepresent or simply ignore the truth about our deadly adventure in Iraq.

Like the president whom she serves so faithfully, she refuses to recognize her errors or the tragic consequences of those errors to the young soldiers and civilians dying in Iraq. She is a diplomat whose central allegiance is not to the democratic cause of this nation, but absolute power.

This is the woman to whom you will be bestowing an honorary degree, along with the privilege of addressing the graduating class of 2006.

It is this last notion I find most reprehensible: that Boston College would entrust to Rice the role of moral exemplar.

To be clear: I am not questioning her intellectual gifts or academic accomplishments. Nor her potentially inspiring role as a powerful woman of color.

But these are not the factors by which a commencement speaker should be judged. It is the content of one's character that matters here -- the reverence for truth and knowledge that Boston College purports to champion.

Rice does not personify these values; she repudiates them. Whatever inspiring rhetoric she might present to the graduating class, her actions as a citizen and politician tell a different story.

Honestly, Father Leahy, what lessons do you expect her to impart to impressionable seniors?

That hard work in the corporate sector might gain them a spot on the board of Chevron? That they, too, might someday have an oil tanker named after them? That it is acceptable to lie to the American people for political gain?

Given the widespread objection to inviting Rice, I would like to think you will rescind the offer. But that is clearly not going to happen.

Like the administration in Washington, you appear too proud to admit to your mistake. Instead, you will mouth a bunch of platitudes, all of which boil down to: You don't want to lose face.

In this sense, you leave me no choice.

I cannot, in good conscience, exhort my students to pursue truth and knowledge, then collect a paycheck from an institution that displays such flagrant disregard for both.

I would like to apologize to my students and prospective students. I would also urge them to investigate the words and actions of Rice, and to exercise their own First Amendment rights at her speech.
