The true story of James Lloyd doing business as Christian Media Network

James Lloyd: The Lost Episodes
This chapter is mainly a presentation of the words of James Lloyd recorded directly from shortwave radio, taken from his "Apocalypse Chronicles"® radio show in 1998. However, in order to understand the context of his statements made at that time, we need to examine them in the milieu in which they were spoken. A brief history of the time must be first presented to facilitate that understanding.
Before there was a Christian Media Network, there was shortwave radio.
James Lloyd came to his limited national prominence during the time which could be called the "heyday" of alternative shortwave radio (1995-1998) on the coattails of Steve Quayle, in an appearance on his "Blueprint for Survival" program. It was in this period that alternative shortwave radio began reaching out to a domestic audience. Many people who had become fed up with the controlled media had discovered shortwave radio. And shortwave radio had discovered them.
All at once it seemed, shortwave radio stations such as 50,000 watt stations WRNO in New Orleans Louisiana, and WGTG (With Glory to God) in Mc Caysville Georgia burst onto the scene along with 100,000 watt stations WHRI in Noblesville Indiana and Powerhouse WWCR (World Wide Christian Radio) in Nashville Tennessee. To many people, (myself included) it had seemed as though God had allowed a few oasis's of truth to flourish in the cultural and spiritual wasteland that is the United States of America. For those of us who had become disenfranchised with the attitude and practice of "business as usual" in our government and in our churches, it was a very exciting time, having about it a sense of spiritual revival for which we all longed.
It was a time before the enmity between what has been called the "Patriot" faction, and the "Remnant" group (the word Remnant being used first in this context by Amerinet Broadcasting System owner Jeff Baker). Mr. Baker himself, attempted to join the two camps on his network, and this symbiotic relationship persisted until James Lloyd sought unilaterally to break the union late in the year 2000, in an attempt to gain more followers for his new "Christian Media Network"® by hanging the label "the Take America Back" bunch on those associated with the Genesis Communications Network (GCN), who he saw as his main rival and competitor. There were "patriot" oriented networks such as the aforementioned "Amerinet" Network owned by Jeff Baker, "Republic Radio", And the "American Freedom Network", broadcasting such programs as "The Intelligence" Report with Mark Koernke John Stadtmiller, and Steve Quayle's "Blueprint for Survival", and others as well with such hosts as Norm Resnick, Anthony J Hilder, Mike Brown, and Kurt Saxon.
These programs also spawned other shortwave radio programs such as "Amerikan Exposé" (Probably the best of it's kind) with Chris Gerner, which explored a world of political manipulation and intrigue designed to bring planet earth into Global Government, which many of us sensed but could not prove. The courage these men seemed to posses in the face of the might of the "New World Order" was a source of great pride for many who had resigned themselves to the fact that America's glory days were behind her. They gave hope that this country could rise again if the people would only awaken out of the their drunken stupor of inaction, which was caused by their acceptance of the propaganda of the conspirators.
There were other shortwave broadcasters also which were independent of the networks such as Ron Wilson who gave us the "Hour of Courage" program and perhaps the most fearless of all, the late Bill Cooper who hosted a broadcast called "The Hour of the Time". These programs exposed the conspirators by name, telling us all about the Federal Reserve scam, the Tri-lateral Commission, and the Council on Foreign Relations, all working to strengthen the hand of the power elite through the United Nations Organization, the names of which we were all familiar, though ignorant of their designs. There were also Christian programs such as "The Prophecy Club" with Stan Johnson, David Smith's "Newswatch Magazine" and broadcasters such as Texe Marrs, and of course the perennial "Brother" R G Stair.
It was programs such as these which articulated the particulars of a New World Order conspiracy that was right under our noses, many of them tying the Biblical prophecies of the end times to events of the present. These broadcasts were mainly sponsored by companies selling what has come to be known as "survival supplies" such as "Safe Trek Outfitters" owned by Steve Quayle, "Live Oak Farms" owned by Jeff Baker, which re-distributed Quayle's food under his own label, as well as precious metal and coin dealers such as "Atlantic Bullion and Coin".
Some broadcasts, such as "The Prophecy Club" and "Newswatch Magazine" were paid for by the selling of books and tapes. It was this market into which James Lloyd sought to enter around the mid 1990's. Many people such as David Wegner, Jim Ammerman, Al Cuppet (called Mr. "C" on Quayle's Blueprint for Survival" show), Bill Deagle, Dr. Rod Lewis, and others, began to announce that God's judgment was upon the land, and some stated categorically that America would be destroyed in 1998. Indeed if one examines the prophecies in the Bible and compares the fruit of America (some had begun spelling it "Amerika") with those behaviors God calls "abominable", one marvels at His longsuffering and wonders that this nation has yet to be destroyed.
It was in this time 20 years after America's defeat by the communists in Viet Nam, of longing for a source of pride, and for some substance upon which we could hang our hopes of better things to come, and to legitimize our sense of outrage and resentment at being lied to and led down the primrose path to second rate status in the world. It was the disaffected American Christian, seeking a new hope for his cause, and the Patriot seeking an outlet for his patriotism weary with disgust and disillusionment who was ripe for this experience.
James Lloyd, by appealing to their feelings rather to their sense of reason used this social perception to bind followers to himself, giving them the belief that the group of "Remnant" Christians to which he and his followers belonged were a superior class of people and he enthused his targets with this self serving propaganda, to ignite a sense of belief in better days. They alone he intoned, would survive the coming destruction of America, and he identified as enemies anyone he considered a threat to his best interests as opposing God himself. Anyone who did not support Lloyd's doctrines were considered inferior. He maintained that he was a great "Prophet" who presented a forceful opposition to the legions of the Devil. James Lloyd taught that the true believers of Jesus Christ would purchase long term survival food, (which James himself sold as a middleman, shipping product that was actually produced by Steve Quayle's Safe Trek Outfitters), and could only know the truth by reading (buying) his book "Beyond Babylon", as well as the proprietary Apocalypse Chronicles® tape sets which would impart the truth of "the gift of prophecy" that James claimed God had "blessed" him with.
The book Beyond Babylon as we have noted in Chapter One of this report, is marred by the inclusion of “prophetic” understandings he gained through the use of “New Age translations” of the bible such as the “New International Version©” (also referred to as the NIV), the “Revised Standard Version©”, the “New English Bible©” and the “Amplified Bible©”. In this book, he also acknowledges his dependence upon many authors and “Christian” individuals whom he has since seen fit to brand as “Liars” and “reprobate”, such as Pat Robertson, founder of the “PTL Club®”, Chuck Smith, founder of the “Calvary Chapel®” organization, pretribulation rapturist Chuck Missler, as well as another man James has branded a false prophet, author Hal Lindsey, and other “mainstream Christian leaders”, as well as the apostate Ellen G. White who was a theologian in and an early leader of the Seventh Day Adventist movement, and also pagans such as Immanuel Velikovsky, Mary Relfe, and David Yallop. This mining of "Bible Prophecy" from occult sources continues in his doctrines relating to the rogue "Rampaging Planet X" to this day.
These purchases of books, tapes, and most notably food (which has a huge "mark up" when prepared in storage fashion), as he stated innumerable times in 1997 and 1998, had to be made SOON! It is interesting to note that at the very time Lloyd was making these wild, paranoid predictions, he and Susan Lenox were also using drugs at Christian Media! Time was running out because God had told James that America (specifically Rome Italy, New York City, Miami, Florida and Los Angeles, California ) would be destroyed by the 4th of July, 1998, and he offered all sorts of reasons using Biblical "proof texts" (out of context) as to why that date was chosen by God. He stated as proof of this for example, that the number 1998 was 666 times 3. It was also a multiple of a allegedly occultic number 222 (which 666 obviously is). He further predicted that the Dow Jones Stock Market would reach 6666 (either on the way up or down) when disaster struck.
He also "predicted" that there would be a total world population of 6 Billion people when the meltdown begins.
They continue to climb DAILY past 6 Billion!
Another James Lloyd "prophecy" stated that, the (then) current UN Secretary General Kofi Anan would be killed in the nuclear destruction and have 42 Months of his term left in July of 1998 (which his candidate Boutros Boutros Ghali would complete, fulfilling the 42 months prophesied in Revelation 13:5 as the "reign of the Antichrist") and so on (He has since stated that Boutros Boutros Ghali would receive the office of Antichrist before his 81st birthday on November 14th, 2003, and then denied making the statement when it proved to be false). He also at that time made many other predictions that likewise suffered an ignominious repudiation from God.
The rejection of his "prophecies" by God not withstanding, James Lloyd maintains today as he did then, that those who are "with him" and who accept his teachings are covered by the protection of the Holy Spirit of God, and those who doubt him or have any disagreement with his take on the Bible and his interpretations are "against him" and in cahoots with Satan. According to James Lloyd, if you are not in total agreement with him, you deserve a most vile fate because your rejection of James and his teachings according to him, is proof in itself that you are not in Christ, but instead imbued with the spirit of Antichrist. This then, was the cultural environment into which James Lloyd injected himself, and the one in which the following statements were made.
At that time, I would have been grateful to have the opportunity you have today, to know the truth about James Lloyd, his "prophecies", and his modus operandi before being seduced and caught in his elaborate snare. It is my hope that you will take advantage of the benefit of the wisdom which comes from the experience of another, who has been down the same road, on which many are trapped without the benefit of that knowledge today. These are the statements he had hoped everyone had forgotten.

| Track 1. James Lloyd pleads to be put "On record" as to the date of America's destruction which he "prophesied" would occur in June of 1998. A great "sales pitch". | |
| Track 2. "Are you a NEW listener?" America to be destroyed in less than 90 days. Global Marshal Law, Nuclear Bio war with death in the millions in America. Lloyd flirts with Y2K. "Tune back in tomorrow..." | |
| Track 3. Y2K false prophecy complements Lloyd's own false prophecy. Y2K supports Lloyd's 4th of July date for America's destruction! Others have visions... | |
| Track 4. Lloyd speaks with "authority" on April 20th, 1998. "This will happen", and "...as long as no prophetic statements coming out of me has been seen to be false, I will continue" | |
| Track 5. For "New Listeners". James Lloyd states that if he misses the 1998 4th of July prophecy "It is over for me, it is finished" and that he will "withdraw" from the ministry. | |
| Track 6. Here's a "scary" sound clip: James preaches on "Idle words". He does not however practice what he has preached. Classic James Lloyd audio. | |
| Track 7 James Lloyd talks about why he will NOT have a website. Classic James Lloyd hypocrisy. "Have you been listening"? |
| Track 8.The Hard Sell Defending his selling of storage food on March 10th 1998, James Lloyd uses the scriptures, to condemn those who believe he is wrong as "false shepherds". "Somebody is really wrong" "WE SHALL SEE!" | |
| Track 9. April 10th 1998 James announces that "God brought me to this particular point" and then does a commercial for storage food. Scaring up customers. Classic James Lloyd Merchandising. "You're Running out of time!" "UH..." | |
| Track 10. James makes himself equal with Christ in this clip from 2004. | |
|
Track 11. Making predictions "really nothing" for James. More "layers" of prophetic understanding lead up to the 1998 prediction and give Lloyd a "knowing of what the text (The Bible) has been saying all along..." The increase of prophetic understanding tells James that he is on the right track. Dramatic. |
|
|
|
|
|
Track 12. From May 7th, 1998 " Incredibly", rather than gaining knowledge of a lack of Holy Spirit presence in his "prophecy", James claims that he knows "more" each day about it. He claims that more details and more power are given him from whatever spirit placed these words into his mouth. And he blames it on "The Bible". A Pathetic example of the man being blinded by his own pride and arrogance. |
|
|
|
|
|
Track 13. The "Madman" fishing to add to his database with his false prophecy. He states "I haven't missed any prophecies" He says "I hope I'm wrong". He keeps trying to sell his books and tapes to the suckers. "Frightening" |
|
|
|
|
Track 14. Two separate audio clips show him on two separate occasions contradicting himself and Jesus Christ as well. It would seem as though he cannot remember what his doctrine is from one day to the next.
|
| Track 15. This one is just plain silly. In this clip, the scholarly James Lloyd seems to think Satan is dead, describing something as being from "the sepulcherof the Devil"! Satan must be spinning in his grave! | |
| Track 16. James begins his unmanly whining about his long hours while some mock his false prophecy. "Go to them who sell" seems to be a reference to James Lloyd. Notice his mocking tone as the clip ends. Compare his words with those of Jesus Christ in Matthew 5:42; "Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away." I suppose James will have to set our Lord straight about this on Judgment Day. (Station ID for WWCR included.) | |
| Track 17. Prophecy Writer James raises "the stakes". States that a prophecy writer who's prophecies don't come true is a false prophet. Are you a false prophet then James? "Of course you are". | |
| Track 18. James claims that all those people who have not been willing to hear his "truth" will not live to the end of the year. | |
| Track 19 James feels like "Jonah". "Less than 90 days before the Tribulation begins". A desperate ploy to entice more suckers to fall into his "elaborate" trap. | |
| Track 20. It's been almost 6 years since he made this statement. Have you deciphered "the truth of the matter" yet? | |
| Track 21. An Overview of 1998 in James Lloyd's version of "Bible Prophecy" A Classic James Lloyd Montage! Listen Closely! | |
| Track 22. He wouldn't be talking about his listeners here would he? Hmmmm... | |
| Track 23. Here is a Bonus track that proves that "Watchman" Rick Walters agrees. | |
|
Track 24. In this audio clip, James Lloyd dismisses a vile attack made upon an innocent child by one of his network hosts, which was made in an attempt to smear me.
In this sound clip James first denies it, and then laughs about it. This clip captures the very essence of James Lloyd and his unholy host.
Once he had realized that he had been caught on tape, James defended the act, lying to cover for himself and his host. Where is Lloyd's proof?
THERE IS NONE!
To this day, NONE OF THEM have repented of this.
Those of you who have had a part in this by supporting them with money and patronage will be held accountable before Christ if you do not repent.
This track is about 5 minutes long and takes a long time to load, but if you refuse to face this now, you will face Christ with this held to your account.
The blood be upon your own head. You have been warned.

| In this "Gem" from January 16, 2003 Lloyd utters the "prophecy" that America will be destroyed in 2003. (He has known this for "several years") Lloyd "gathers considerable momentum" and cites having "multiple witnesses in the Old Testament". Bible prophecy begins to "open up" to him as he mocks those who predicted falsely. | |
|
|
|
| In these cuts from January 16, 2003 (placed "back to back") Lloyd announces that (the now long dead) Pope John Paul II will be "rejuvenated" and that "you don't get to get this stuff (Bible prophecy) wrong". The Pope's death is indeed "significant". Typical James Lloyd humility as he "snipes from the sidelines". "Get out of the way" James! | |
| In this 2 minute 14 second clip from February 15, 2005, James Lloyd intimates that (all laws of nuclear physics aside) the planet Saturn will be "ignited" and become a "new sun". "We're going to tell you more when we come back" so break out your tinfoil hats and stay tuned for more! | |
| Here's another silly one. In this brilliant statement, "Professor Lloyd" announces that the earth "presently spins at 66,600 MPH". Pretty funny James!
Since the earth is only about 24,000 miles in diameter, this means that each week on planet earth is less than 3 hours long! James has admitted in the past that he has trouble with "Timing"..."Funny how that math keeps working out". |
|

|
|
Here is a Classic! Pay close attention as James Lloyd "Baffles em' with Bull****".
Are his listeners REALLY that stupid? It would appear to be so, as James confidently spits out such poppycock without so much as a hint of laughter. Maybe if they buy the tape set and listen several times they will understand completely.
"Now let me go back and say that again..."
