ALAMO! a scena for a cappella voice and Bible (King James version) "Alamo!" may be performed by any voice, any gender, any vocal range, any vocal style. Valid performances include trained opera singers with perfect pitch, theatre voices with good relative pitch, and non-singers merely following the general shape and rhythm of the musical score. As such, it is not required that every singer achieve the exact pitches and rhythms presented; it is only requested that the score not be simplified, either tonally or rhythmically, into a single or simpler key or time signature. The piece may be transposed to any range. As written, with a G-clef, the lowest note is a G below middle C, and a B near high C, over two octaves past. The score regularly goes to within a minor third of each extreme. "Alamo!" has been performed in diverse venues --- on a proscenium stage, in front of a few rows of folding chairs, on a platform next to the River Cam in Cambridge. The ideal setting for "Alamo!" is a public park, in front of a park bench. The "Scotty" section is best performed seated, as at an imaginary library table, so proximity to some sittable surface is recommended. In a stage setting, a raised platform, a few feet square, is a fine idea. In a public setting, a small soap box might be too limiting, but it can be tried. The singer must obtain a King James Bible, or some other book, preferably black-covered, that will serve. Conservative attire, appropriate to a modest, religious Christian, is suggested. The score, on a music stand, may be used if needed. The composer has performed the piece in front of a suspended blow-up of the first page of one of Reverend Alamo's pamphlets. A projection would also serve. Neither is required. When the composer performs the piece, he starts kneeling, head bowed, his hands together as in prayer. He looks up and points at "These are the very last days..." and stands on "Depraved Popes." Later, he makes sure that he is sitting by "I won't tell the Jewish Federation," and standing after the final "Scot free." Of course, at the end, one must kneel after the word "Kneel" and raise one's hands on the words "raise your hands." Other than that, all gestures, movements, et cetera, are at the discretion of the performer. The only thing that is required is that the performer look directly into his or her audience's eyes at all times, confronting them, connecting to them, to every member of the audience, as much as possible. In a stage setting, house lights should not be completely dark, or the performer blinded.

They've taken our children, they've taken our children, They've taken our children away... These are the very last days of time. The last days, The very last days... Depraved popes Have brainwashed so many people Into a zombie-type cult worship. It is almost impossible to break a Thoroughly brainwashed Catholic Out of his or her zombie-like stupor of belief That the imbecilic pope is God! Only the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ --- From the King James Version of the Bible --- Can break the demonic spell of ignorance And satanic fear of this deplorable, ungodly, Secret cult and its leader, And set the human soul free To worship and fear the living God. That is why the Vatican fights so hard the gospel --- The only true defense against them! Satan's church uses the one-world government To destroy every church other than itself! Satan's church! Satan's church!! God's Word says those that take the mark of Satan Will burn forever in hell! They will tell you I am your enemy For reporting these facts to you, But telling the truth, So that people can escape The mark of the beast --- Is that hatred? Telling the truth is love. Preaching the truth Shall make you free. You can either believe the Pope or me. You be the judge. The Catholic Jesuits take an oath To infiltrate other religions, Representing themselves as Jews, as Christians, As Protestants or any religion, For the purpose of demolishing them. The pattern is always the same: Catholic cult members infiltrate Government agencies, law enforcement and all social agencies. They enforce Catholic doctrine. They can easily prosecute and jail their victims By using social workers and false witnesses, And maligning their victims' names in the media Before they ever go to trial. It's the same old pattern, It never changes. Don't forget, Roman Catholic soldiers nailed Jesus to the cross. They haven't changed. They've taken our children away. They've taken our children, they've taken our children... Everything God has, Satan has a counterfeit for, So watch out. See if you can follow me. The Catholics founded the Jewish Federation. The Jewish Federation is not Jewish but Catholic. They call themselves Jews. They want the entire earth to be angry with the Jews, So that everyone will want to destroy the Jews. Wasn't this the Catholic's purpose in World War II? NEVER AGAIN! Satan's church Has always been jealous Because God chose the Jews to bring forth The savior of the world. God gave Israel to the Jews, Not to the pope, Not to the UN, Not to the PLO, Or any other Catholic criminal group. The Vatican refuses to recognize Israel. Well, I do not recognize the Vatican, The Catholic controlled governments, The UN, Or the Jewish Federation, Or a division of it called The Cult Awareness Network. This organization has a network of judges. This organization has raided churches Throughout the country. This organization kidnaps and "deprograms" Christians. The Network is a continuation of Hitler's "Ministry of Cults"! They harass Christian churches In Catholic courtrooms with Catholic judges presiding. Money that could have been spent Feeding the hungry, Clothing the naked, Housing the homeless, Taking care of the aged, And all the other chores Which Jesus tells us to do as Christians, Is spent defending ourselves against The Pope's incredibly false accusations. They are trying desperately to destroy me, Because I expose them, Because of my statements, The Cult Awareness Network Has targeted me, Alamo. Me! You be the judge. The judge... At a Catholic luncheon, The President boasted of Catholic Judges he installed. One of them being Arkansas' Judge Arnold Who would not allow our church To testify in his courtroom. All of the charges as usual were trumped up. Arkansas Judge Arnold threw an incredible, uncontrolled tantrum, Unlawfully blasting and prejudging Tony Alamo, Ruling Alamo guilty before hearing Alamo's side Of the false allegations of child abuse. There is no evidence that Alamo or anyone at the church Had abused the adopted Miller boy (Justin) Or that anyone had ever been abused at the church At any time in over twenty-five years. Judge Arnold's slanderous statements Were caused by false witnesses. No fair trial is possible! Government paid liars, criminals, prostitutes, and drug addicts, Were allowed to testify against us. Of course, we lost. No fair trial is possible! The FBI loaned false witnesses. They used them on television. The media helps them. The media says, "Alamo is anti-Catholic" --- Like that is supposed to be a big sin? You never hear them say, "The Catholics, the UN, the Vatican, the one-world church Are anti-Alamo." There is never an outcry, Never do they print one good thing we've ever done. Could it be the media's controlled By these Catholic conspirators? The conspirators are not prosecuting the Millers. The Millers are now part of the conspiracy. The Millers embezzled over $100,000.00 from my church. The Millers! The Millers! The money! The children! Justin! Prosecute the Millers for Grand theft, Mail fraud, Perjury, Embezzlement! $100,000.00! The FBI will let the entire Miller fam'ly go scot-free. Scot-free... Scott Gregory told me, The FBI tricked him into signing A false warrant against me. Scott Gregory told me That I was the only person Ever treated him nice in his whole life. They told Scotty to say I kidnapped him! Told Scotty I said bad things about him in the newspaper. So he went to the library. I saw him in the library. "Why are you here in the library, Scotty? Ssh... I won't tell the Jewish Federation. Scotty, look! Look in the newspapers, look! Look! You're here to look, Scotty. They said that the newspapers Here in the library Prove that I said bad things about you. Just sign the warrant, Just say I kidnapped you. We'll put him away, I treated you nice, I did not say bad things about you, Scotty." Scot-free... My ex-wife and her mother were threatened on the telephone. Government agencies on the telephone Threat'ning to kill my wife If my wife would not leave me. My ex-wife is now working for the FBI! They've taken our children, They even took the Miller children. Early in the morning With eighty armed sheriffs, They raided our mission And forced us to sit on the ground While the children were stripped. Not one sign of abuse was found! The wrath of Satan lashes out against us! Many will go underground As I have been forced to do That we may continue preaching the Word of God. We Christians use weapons of truth And, of course, the children of darkness Use weapons of their father. The entire Earth is suffering, Suffering severely from juvenile delinquent problems. These children need the Gospel preached to them. They need to know about Heaven and Hell. The youth need strong, wholesome leadership, And if they are unruly And will not receive the instructions from God's Word, Then paddle them and Don't spare for their crying (Proverbs, Chapter Nineteen, Verse Eighteen). If the President is so concerned about the youth today, Then the President should put me in charge of our youth. Then shall the world see law and order. Christians will have to run the government. Christians must do this. Jesus is saying, "Mister President and your agencies, Why persecutest thou me?" These are the very last days of time. Repent, repent. Get back to God. Get back to sanity, decency and order. Millions of Americans feel the same. We, the people, United we stand, Divided we fall, we fall! "Choose this day who ye will serve." Jesus, Jesus came into this world because of you and me. We were lost but can be free. Kneel. You'll be saved. Call upon Jesus. Say this prayer. Why Die Ye? My Lord and my God, Have mercy upon my soul, A sinner. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God. I believe that He died on the cross And shed His blood for the forgiveness of all my sins. I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead By the power of the Holy Ghost. I open the door of my heart And I invite You into my heart, Lord Jesus. Wash all my sins away in the precious blood that You shed for me. You will not turn me away, Lord Jesus; You will save my soul. I know because Your word, the Bible, says so. Your word says that You will turn no one away And that includes me. Therefore I know that You have heard me, And I know that You have answered me, And I know that I am saved And I thank you for saving my soul... Now that you are saved Raise your hands toward heaven and praise the Lord.
