of the State, which instituted a "National Church" of its own and invited United States sects to replace them; and "God" was eliminated from oaths and textbooks and civil formalities. When the Mexican people rose up against Juarez, and elected a new government, the United States broke off diplomatic relations with the new government and supported Juarez to the point of military action. This began a policy carried out by the United States government throughout the 20th century. The agents that have carried out such policies have all worked toward a common long-range goal, and have generally had ties to a center of power that we have described as "Modern Day Babylon." By 1876, the accession of Porfirio Diaz to president tempered the States' war against the Church and by the end of the Diaz period the Church was conducting some 2,000 free schools and colleges, and a new network of hospitals and institutions. These were maintained by clergy and sisterhoods dependent entirely upon charity. This continued up to the presidency of Huerta when according to Kenny: .. President Wilson supported with army and navy the worst scoundrels that ever raped and pillaged Mexico; whence issued the orgy of anarchy and tyranny that culminated in Calles.” 110 The Secret Side of History
