The International Court of Justice – A Perversion of True Justice

By Pastor Mike Spaulding

March 17, 2024

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8[1]

Justice for all! This statement is a great sound bite but little more than that. Indeed, as it is used today, it is superfluous on the surface and vacuous once a brief examination is undertaken. However, given that Americans have been conditioned to respond to sound bite journalism and half-truths and worse masquerading as fact-based news, this mantra has become a dangerous, misleading, and effective tactic utilized by those bent on destroying Israel, in part by undermining American support for it.

The recent action by the South African government in filing a legal proceeding with the International Court of Justice against Israel, accusing it of violating the Genocide Convention agreement, is one example of the upside-down world in which we live. I admire the detailed response by Tal Becker, legal advisor to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In his opening statement on January 12, 2024, he called the character of the government of South Africa into question. He said in part:

But, as this Court has already made clear, the Genocide Convention was not designed to address the brutal impact of intensive hostilities on the civilian population, even when the use of force raises “very serious issues of international law” and involves “enormous suffering” and “continuing loss of life”. The Convention was set apart to address a malevolent crime of the most exceptional severity.

We live at a time when words are cheap. In an age of social media and identity politics, the temptation to reach for the most outrageous term, to vilify and demonize, has become for many irresistible. But if there is one place where words should still matter, where truth should still matter, it is surely a court of law.

The Applicant has regrettably put before the Court a profoundly distorted factual and legal picture. The entirety of its case hinges on a deliberately curated, decontextualized and manipulative description of the reality of current hostilities.

South Africa purports to come to this Court in the lofty position of a guardian of the interest of humanity. But in delegitimizing Israel’s 75-year existence in its opening presentation, that broad commitment to humanity rang hollow. And in its sweeping counter-factual description of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it seemed to erase both Jewish history and any Palestinian agency or responsibility. Indeed, the Application delegitimization of Israel since its very establishment in 1948 in its submissions, sounded barely distinguishable from Hamas’s own rejectionist rhetoric.

It is unsurprising, therefore, that in the Applicant’s telling, both Hamas’s responsibility for the situation in Gaza and the very humanity of its Israeli victims are removed from view.[2]

For justice to be realized by all, at least two things are necessary foundationally: there must be a standard or system of justice available to all that is objective, that is, it is beyond the frailties and double mindedness of man, and all parties interested in justice for all must recognize this objective standard as the guiding principles for determining when justice has been exhibited. In other words, there must be law and the rule of law must prevail over all well-intentioned and/or misguided arguments based on emotions, feelings, or the ideology-du-jour of the day.

In order for true justice to prevail and guide any people in their shared lives, justice must be impartial, proportionally related to behavior so that each individual receives his or her due, whether that due is reward or punishment. This must be in accord with the objective standard agreed upon as the guiding principles mentioned above.

America was founded upon Christian principles. Therefore, God’s moral law has undergirded the guiding principles of this republic even before the American Revolution. The Mayflower Compact, the first governing document of English settlers to America makes this clear. The Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the US Constitution and Bill of Rights follow suite in recognizing the God of the Christian Bible as Creator, Sustainer, Lord, and Law Giver. His immutable and timeless law is recognized as the foundation for America’s laws.

John Locke said, “The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom.” President John F. Kennedy recognized that truth when he stated during his inaugural address that: “The rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.” Sir William Blackstone, the acclaimed English jurist and scholar of jurisprudence, wrote that:

“Man … must necessarily be subject to the laws of his Creator…This will of his Maker is called the law of nature…This law of nature…is of course superior to any other…No human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this: and such of them as are valid derive all their force…from this original.”[3]

Additionally, justice has many different applications and therefore must be understood within several different contexts, among them: commercial, vindictive, retributive, punitive, and remedial justice.[4] Commercial justice defines voluntary relationships, while vindictive, retributive, punitive, and remedial justice defines involuntary relationships. Theologian and Philosopher E. Calvin Beisner, offers this explanation:

Commercial justice requires that if we desire what another has, we must offer something he prefers in exchange for it, not acquire it by force or fraud – whether directly (picking his pocket) or indirectly (using a law to take from him and give to ourselves or others). Violations of commercial justice by fraud, theft, or violence bring punitive and vindictive justice into play as correctives.

When one person violates another’s rights (which are defined by justice), the injury is to be redressed by vindictive, retributive, and punitive justice. Vindictive justice judges the victim right in his cause (1 Kings 8:32; Deuteronomy 25:1). Retributive justice (from the Latin re, or “back,” and tribuere, “to pay”) requires the offender to restore the victim to his status before the offense (Exodus 22:1-15). Punitive justice applies a penalty to the offender as punishment for violating the law (Romans 13:4). In crimes against property (theft or destruction), punitive and retributive justice combine in the offender’s restoring what was taken or destroyed (retribution, also called restitution) plus some additional amount (punishment).

Sometimes someone harms another accidently. Then, remedial justice requires the one who caused the harm to share the cost equally with the victim (Exodus 21:35) but adds no penalty. But if he is negligent, he must be punished by bearing the whole loss (Exodus 21:33-34, 36), restoring the victim fully to his former state at his own expense.[5]

In the current climate of identity politics, gender dysphoria, and Marxian and Critical Theories run amok, these requirements for justice appear to be out of reach. That leaves us with a bare-naked power grab by certain people, or cast in Darwinian terms, a fight for the survival of the strongest, where might makes right. In America today that means political power financed by globalists who espouse anti-American ideologies. The ability to force people to comply against their wishes and of the common good has defined tyranny throughout the ages. Sadly, much of the American Protestant church has been deceived and is supporting the multi-pronged Luciferian lunacy of the leftists and other assorted God haters.

Instead of giving up and giving in to the wickedness of our day, a better approach would be to educate ourselves and others in the methodologies and strategies of the enemies of God and then begin to broadly denounce this present darkness for what it is – a direct attack against God. Mankind has consistently done a very poor job of administering justice when the laws used to determine justice are constructed on the shifting sand of rogue philosophies and the subsequent politics that pander to tyrannical lusts. The fight is on. You must join the fray or watch America and her allies die a slow painful death.

There’s No Excuse For Being Clueless

By Rob Pue

March 17, 2024

Given the work that I do, it grieves me to see so many professing Christians who are so ignorant of the days and times we’re living in. Most don’t know and don’t want to know what’s really going on in this world — or how Christ-followers are to respond to it all. Truly, those who are not Christians, or are “nominal Christians” at best, are much more well informed than those who claim to be “devout.” Because most modern American churches today do more harm than good for the Kingdom of God.

Let me give you a case in point. I know a couple of people who are very devout church-goers. Literally, whenever the doors to the church are open, they’re there. These folks receive our newspaper, Wisconsin Christian News, and have for many years, but it’s doubtful they ever read it, or even open it. Theirs is a typical modern American church, where the pastor is careful to never speak anything that may be construed as “offensive.” The church only offers the modern praise and worship choruses, and then an “uplifting, feel-good” message as a sermon. To put it succinctly, it’s a “Your Best Life Now” church.

They teach that God just wants His people to be nice to others, be happy, blessed, financially secure, comfortable and at peace. Certainly, you can have all, or most of these things as a child of God, but as with most modern American churches, the people are never called to actually do anything, nor are they trained for the work of the ministry.

Now, the people I’m referring to will never read or hear this message, because they listen only to Contemporary Christian Music radio stations, and obviously never open the pages of Wisconsin Christian News or follow any other alternative Christian news sources. They’re clueless about things like the Globalist “new world order,” the radical LGBTQP+ movement, the demonic “transgender” agenda, the pornographic books and sexually-perverted indoctrination of our children in public schools, the imprisonment of the J6 political prisoners, the deadly hospital protocols, the depopulation agenda with the COVID jabs, the radical pro-death agenda of Planned Parenthood, the invasion of our nation by foreign enemies, and so much more. Needless to say, they both received all their COVID jabs. In fact, their church opened up as a “vaccination center” a few years ago.

This past Christmas, these folks gave some framed artwork to someone I know well. The recipient is a wide-awake Christ-follower who is well informed and active in standing against evil and deception. As he unwrapped the gift, he was astonished — this framed artwork was a rainbow flag with the words “Love is Love” emblazoned upon it. This gift, from a couple of extremely devout church-goers, left him and his wife nearly speechless.

As gently and tactfully as they could, they asked, “Don’t you know what this is? Don’t you know what this means? How could you not know what this is?”

Their response was, “Oh, no…we had no idea. We just saw it at Target and thought it was a pretty picture that would bless your home with love.”

While their intentions were good, they truly had no idea what the rainbow flag stood for, or that the words “Love is Love” is the clarion call of the same-sex-marriage movement. It’s been nine years now since the Supreme Court’s Obergefell decision. Nine years, and still these extremely devout church-goers had no idea…nor did they have any idea of Target’s blatant hatred for Christians and conservatives — or Target’s arrogant advancement of the homosexual and transgender movements with products they sell, even for children. Or Target’s pro-transgender “open restroom” policies.

You see, their pastor has never spoken on any of these things, and the only news they get is from the mainstream media propaganda machine. They have no interest in topics they deem “political” and so they only know what they hear in their church. They’re completely clueless.

A few years ago, I was speaking with a friend who had taken it upon himself to distribute Bible tracts and other Christian materials in his neighborhood. He’d go door-to-door, leaving the materials on the doors of homes. He told me that it was rare to ever actually speak to anyone — he just dropped off the literature and went on to the next house. But the occupants of one house, in particular, were very unfriendly to him and actually called the police on him. He pointed the house out to me as we stood in his driveway. It was adorned with a rainbow flag on the front.

I asked him, “well, what did you expect? Didn’t you see their flag?” He gave me a blank stare. So I asked, “Don’t you know what that flag is?” After I told him, he still didn’t believe me — “I just thought it was a pretty yard decoration,” he said. He was completely clueless.

It astonishes me that so many are so ignorant. And, over the past 25 years of my work with Wisconsin Christian News, I receive the harshest criticism from professing Christians, and especially pastors. They want nothing to do with us. The majority of pastors won’t allow our newspaper in their churches, and if they do, almost none of the people there will pick up a copy.

In one instance, we had a very dedicated distribution volunteer who would take a bundle of newspapers to a church in her area. The pastor always greeted her with a big, wide smile and always thanked her for dropping the papers off. This went on for a couple of years before the church secretary called me to say, “I’m so sorry to have to tell you this, but I feel so badly and so guilty about it, I must. Our pastor told your delivery person he loves your newspaper, but I’m instructed to throw them in the recycling the minute she leaves. The bundles are never even opened.” So, in other words, this pastor was lying — right to our friend’s face — with a big, broad smile, for years.

But God has a remnant, even in the “Best Life Now” churches. Countless times, I’m contacted by people who are so enthusiastic about our newspaper they want to make it available at their church. I tell them to first show a copy to their pastor and then let me know what he says. One of two things always happen: either I never hear from this person again, or they call me back to say “the pastor said ‘no.’”

So in order to get the truth — and the whole counsel of God — along with the Gospel message out to those who have never heard, we stock our newspaper in news racks in public places for people to pick up for free. In other words, we have to do an “end-run” around the pastors in order to get information with a biblical worldview to the people. And the papers literally fly off the shelves. Grocery stores are great places to distribute the newspaper. Countless times, I’ve arrived at a store to stock the new edition and before I can even get the first bundle cut open, there are people coming up to me saying, “OH! Wonderful! I’ve been waiting for this. I love this paper. Can I have one of those?”

You see, there are MANY who are starving for the truth. They’re not getting it in their churches or the mainstream press. If they go to church, their pastors will never speak on any of the subjects we cover; never anything of real substance, but rather, mere platitudes. And many people are smart enough to know propaganda and “fake news” when they hear or see it. So they’re very eager for each new edition of Wisconsin Christian News. For many, it’s the only source of real news and information — and deep insights into God’s Word they ever get.

Those who are wide awake and know all about the things we cover, can sometimes find themselves overwhelmed, anxious and fearful of the days we’re living in and where this nation is headed under God’s judgment. It happens to me, too. A 24/7 news feed of real information, coming from trusted and verified, fact-based sources often leaves me overwhelmed. I often have “information overload,” and the news is almost never good now. I understand, it can wear a person out.

But we won’t back down. We can’t afford to. I believe we owe it to our readers to be here, to persevere and press on — because there are so few who will dare speak the hard truth anymore. And Christians, especially, should never be ignorant of the devil’s devices, and should always be the most informed and well-equipped of all, in order to be able to explain to others all that is really going on, along with the real hope that we have in Christ. Not just a “hope,” but a “knowing” that God is in control — and though the world is now enveloped in darkness, deception, delusion and deceit, that He will work all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.

We can’t be ignorant, but we can’t be fearful either. Not if we’re real Christ-followers, with the Holy Spirit inside us. We must be knowledgeable, informed and prepared for ministry and evangelism, but we must also be willing to pick up our cross and carry it, no matter the cost. What I’m saying is that knowledge without action — or knowledge combined with cowardice — is what causes the anxiety, fear, and despair so many struggle with today.

Wisconsin Christian News serves an important purpose. Perhaps the most important purpose is bringing the Gospel message and a biblical worldview to the unsaved world…and the unsaved among us are often the most intrigued by our newspaper. As I said, even in churches that do allow our paper to be distributed there, few people ever pick up a copy. But an average grocery store will easily go through 200 copies in a week. The world is starving for truth!

But if all you’re doing is reading our newspaper, you’re missing the point. Most of the articles we publish are meant to direct the reader to further and deeper study of God’s Word, the Bible. That’s where all the answers are, and that’s what we’re trying to point people toward. Yes, we must know the news of the day and we must be aware of and understand the latest lies and schemes of the enemy. But it’s God’s Word that makes what we see in our daily headlines all make sense, and it’s God’s Word that explains the role we have to play in such a time as this, and it’s God’s Word, when properly studied, that moves us to action in His name, boldly calling out the lies, informing the ignorant and leading the lost to the only One Who is able to save their souls.

So in these days, we all need to spend more time making a serious study of the Word of God. It contains not only the history of the world, but timeless lessons from our Creator Himself on how we should act, what we should do, how we should respond to all that’s coming upon the earth right now and how we overcome the enemy. Sadly, most pastors today won’t even admit we have an enemy, much less, instruct and equip their people for spiritual warfare.

Along with serious, intentional, deep Bible study, we also need to draw near to the Lord in fervent prayer. Not repetitious prayer; not compulsory prayer, but real prayer. Talking with God and doing so without ceasing. Like the disciples in the book of Acts, we need to go to our “upper rooms” — alone or with other like-minded believers — and fervently pray for wisdom and knowledge of God’s will, for guidance and direction as to what He would have us to do.

Of course, I’m assuming you are one with the Holy Spirit within you, and that you’re not only “pretty sure” you have the Holy Spirit, but you know you do because you can feel it. If you don’t know or don’t feel the Holy Spirit within, speaking to you, guiding and directing you, repent and pray for personal sanctification first, and then ask God to fill you with His Spirit. This is not the time to remain apathetic about the things of God, but rather to get deadly serious about it all. “Business-as-usual churchianity” is not adequate to triumph over the forces of darkness and evil in this world. The Bible tells us that Lukewarm people literally make God vomit. So don’t remain in your ignorance. There’s no excuse for being clueless.

Spiritual Warfare, Part 2

By Reverend Glynn Adams

March 17, 2024

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the world he didn’t exist. This philosophy has worked so well among pastors and churchgoers in America!!! The first thing you need to know about the spiritual being called Satan, or the devil, is that you won’t find him running around in a red suit, with horns and a pitchfork. No! He would much rather you fall for the lie that he is just a myth and he doesn’t exist at all. In Matthew 4:1, Jesus was led into the wilderness, He was tempted by the Devil, a real demonic entity on this earth.

You are warned in 1 John 2:15, Do not love this world system nor the things of this world system because this is Satan’s domain. You are further warned in James 4:4-5a, that friendship with this world system is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that the Scriptures speaks to no purpose? Never have we witnessed so much of the world system in the church today!!

James 4:7 also warns us, “Submit, therefore, to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” As does 1 Peter 5:8-9, “Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary the devil prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.”

The Word of God, which is a “war manual” and is full of scriptures warning us about Satan and what weapons God has given us to resist and overcome him. To ignore him or to disregard him is very foolish and can be deadly because his ministry is to deceive us, to torment us, to rob us, to steal from us, and to kill us!!! To say the least, we are in a spiritual war and the truth is – if we are not resisting him; he will overcome us. All we have to do is look at our nation and you will see because the evidence abounds – we have been captured by Satan and his powers of darkness and we have become a habitation of demons and demonic strongholds. Why? Because pastors and the Body of Christ in America are sound asleep, disengaged, and refuse to resist the evil before us!!!

There are so many false teachings by false pastors in the Body of Christ in America. You are being told that Satan can’t bother a follower of Christ because he has been defeated at the cross. He was defeated but Satan is still on this earth. He knows that he has but a little time left and he is ramping up his ministry of deception, robbing, destroying, and killing. You have no defense if you are not firm in your faith. Satan comes to you in the area of your ignorance. In the Body of Christ in America, many are being destroyed for a lack of knowledge of the Word of God.

Any follower of Jesus Christ is going to continually face spiritual warfare as long as he or she is on this earth, even though the battle has been won and Satan has been defeated. There is no way the follower of Jesus can get out of it. Spiritual Warfare is God’s designed means by which to spiritually develop man. This is real spiritual warfare. Satan is God’s necessary means by which to mature us into the image of His Son, Jesus Christ!!!

The person who is seeking to surrender self to the Lordship of Christ is more susceptible to spiritual warfare. When a believer gets really serious about following Jesus and comes to the place of identification with Christ, will discover his position and purpose in Christ, and then discovers Satan’s position, he or she becomes a real threat to Satan. Carnal or nominal churchgoers or ear-tickling pastors are not a threat to Satan. So, your growth process will intensify and get worse in order to move you higher than where you are now.

It is good of God not to allow Satan to deal with babes in Christ the same way He deals with adults. It is beautiful that God in His sovereign grace and mercy measures out the measure and means by which Satan is able to oppose us!!!

Always remember this – the more spiritual growth you have, the more like Jesus you are and the more authority you exercise over the forces of hell, the more our responsibility increases, and the more our satisfaction increases because you are seeing God’s will done more perfectly in your life. This is the abundant life. When there is no change in your life, you are dead inside and Satan has you under his control!!

Again, I repeat – no individual can be victorious against Satan unless he or she understands Satan. We hear very little about Satan in our churches and our pastors and consequently many in the Body of Christ as well as their pastors are ill-prepared to meet and deal with him. Therefore, we are being destroyed because we are ignorant of the knowledge of Satan and what the Word of God teaches about his person, his methods, his plans, his programs, and his devises. Many pastors and those in the Body of Christ are being destroyed for a lack of God’s knowledge and fall in defeat. That is why our nation has been captured, is ruled by Satan and not God, and we have become a habitation of demons and the gods of Babylon and Egypt.

We have much work to do – repent, get into the Word of God, and commit yourself to His ways!!! There are great benefits in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. There are grave consequences if you neglect the growth process Jesus has, even greater than you can image and part of that growth process is resisting Satan and the powers of darkness in your life and your culture and nation.

Now I want to carry this spiritual warfare teaching to a higher level so we can better understand the absolute importance of it. This will help you understand Jesus’ reaction to the evil around Him during His time on earth and His reaction to the religious leaders, the Scribes and Pharisees. After the fall of Adam and Eve, it is important we understand the implications of what God said in Genesis 3:15, “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heal.”

To keep this simple, the word “enmity” means hostility. As believers, we are in Christ and He is in us. This means the aggression against Satan that Jesus showed while He was on this earth must be expressed through us today!!! Did you get that Body of Christ in America?!!! Do you receive it? Not to become like Jesus and be an aggressive warrior against Satan is blatant disobedience to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now glorified and seated at the Father’s right hand “far above all principalities, and power, and might, and dominion,” Jesus as Lord of all is beyond reach of Satan attacks. The finished work of Calvary is now finished and nothing Satan may do can change the finality of the victory stroke that crushed his head. However, Christ’s victory over the powers of darkness and evil in this world is now in the hands of the Body of Christ on this earth. Consequently, the bitter enmity of Satan is now directed against the Head through the members of his Body on earth.

Many in the Body of Christ face life without taking to themselves the whole armor of God by prayer. As believers we are in Christ and He in us. I will repeat this again – the aggression against Satan that Jesus showed while He was on this earth must be expressed through us today!!! Did you get that Body of Christ in America? Do you receive it? Not to become an aggressive warrior for Christ is disobedience to the LORD Jesus!!!!

So, as the Body of Christ in America, we are no longer free to play the role of civilians, living as if there is no war. Our soldier role is pictured for us throughout the Old Testament. It is also established by our union with our Conquering Head and is affirmed in the New Testament. The history of the saints of God in every age is one of conflict. The pathway of the disciples of Christ throughout the Word of God is one of certain warfare. If you are not now or have not recently become a warrior for Christ, you are living in blatant disobedience to our LORD Jesus Christ!!!

Today if you are not expressing the enmity God put between the devil and Jesus our Head, or if you are seeking detente, co-existence, and peace through compromise with the Kingdom of Darkness or if you refuse to make yourself available to your Lord as a willing instrument of war, ready for His use in His warfare, or if you are not aware of the teaching of Scripture about your part in this spiritual conflict raging in this nation today and if you do not change your way to that of a warrior, you will probably be the one who Jesus says, “Depart from Me, I never knew you!!” (Matthew 7:21)

God is serious about His Word and our obedience to His Word!!! You have no option not to obey the Word of God!!! In the Kingdom of God, obedience to the King is mandatory. Some terrible storms of judgment are coming to the Body of Christ in America because in the area of our failure to resist evil, our nation has been captured and Satan now rules over America and not God. We have put our merciful God to the test and we shall reap His whirlwind in judgment if we don’t repent and quickly return to His ways!!!

Have you ever stopped and ask yourself, “Why are we in this spiritual mess in this nation?” We are tolerating an enemy who has said he wants to destroy our children, our family structure, and our moral fabric in this nation. Do we take that serious as we see it being accomplished before us as we continue to play religious games in this nation?

When you have abdicated spiritual responsibilities and you are not doing what you are supposed to do, things go wrong very quickly. One of the most dangerous places to stand is where you were never supposed to be in the first place. Such is the story of King David – “In the spring, at the time when Kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king’s men and the whole Israelite army…..but David remained in Jerusalem – (David stayed at home having abdicated his spiritual responsibilities).”

David lost his purpose and when you lose your purpose, you are vulnerable to your worst decisions. In avoiding going to the battlefield as a warrior, David had become a liar, an adulterer, and a murderer. After that, his family, in disagreements, fighting among themselves, jealousy, and on and on were destroyed. I have to believe that if he had seen where the last domino would fall, David would have never made the choice and that spring, the king would have gone out to war. What the giant Goliath could not do to David, complacency destroyed with ease.

Is not our complacency in the Body of Christ in America in our failure to obey the Word of God, and abdicating our spiritual responsibilities in refusing to resist this evil that has overtaken our nation, allowing Satan to destroy us with ease? How many who refuse to become warriors and go to the battlefield in this nation who are being destroyed because they have lost their purpose, they are “ho hum” to the things of God and in our refusing to engage the enemy, we have false pastors and many of our churches have become playgrounds for demons to rob, kill, and to destroy those who claim to know Christ?!! Now hopefully you can see the consequences of our disobedience in this area of spiritual warfare in America.

For the remainder of 2024, it seems likely that Klaus Schwab and his demonic New World Order occults will move to further their agenda. Only resistance from the Body of Christ in America can slow him down and defeat his evil purposes. This is an election year so expect them to increase their agenda in order to gain more power.

We must in the Body of Christ in America repent quickly and turn back to the ways of God. If you are in a denomination religious system, get out of it NOW!!! As Jesus said, you will become like your teacher. Many in these denominational religious systems have crossed the point of no return where the sacrifices of Christ can no longer help them!!!

“For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of fire which will consume the adversaries. Anyone who has sat aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified and has insulted the Spirit of grace. For we know him who said, ‘Vengeance is Mine, I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will Judge His people.” It is terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Hebrews 10:26-31) HATH GOD REALLY SAID?!!!

We have lied to ourselves and others about who God is and we have carried “God is love” to the extremes. We really do not know the real Jesus and living God; we know about God but not in a personal way!!! I will warn you, in the future, if you want to know and hear God’s voice in the days ahead, be ready to have Him speak of cleansing and repentance, your closeness to Him, your idols in your heart, your unforgiveness, how you love your family, are you preparing and equipping your children for what they will face in these hell holes we call public education and our culture, and are you an aggressive warrior resisting evil before He speaks direction to you or gives you favor? Next week Spiritual Warfare Part III. God bless, I reman His warrior and watchman, Glynn Adams (Thanks for the writings of J.

Eligible vs. Ineligible Voters

By Lex Greene

March 16, 2024

According to long-standing US Election Laws under the US Constitution, voting rights are not based upon ones presence in the USA at election time. There’s a distinct and critical difference between those who are eligible to vote in US elections, and those who are not.

To make it clear, the following individuals are not currently eligible to vote in US elections under US election codes.

INELIGIBLE TO VOTE

Non-citizens, including permanent legal residents, illegal aliens, foreign citizens visiting the USA, and foreign individuals in the USA under a temporary VISA, cannot legally vote in federal, state, and most local elections.
Some people cannot vote after being convicted of a felony or if they are currently serving time for other types of crimes.
Some people who have a mental disability may not be eligible to vote.
People under the legal age of 18 cannot vote.
S. citizens residing in U.S. territories cannot vote for president in the general election.
Anyone attempting to vote on behalf of someone else.
Anyone attempting to vote outside of the resident district or vote more than once.

Because US Law dictates who is and is not eligible to legally vote in US elections, it is entirely constitutional to require all voters to prove their individual eligibility in order to vote in the USA. Depriving “ineligible voters” of any right to vote is what government is required to do, under the law.

I have been voting in US elections for 44-years. I have never been able to vote without showing my voter registration card and photo ID as proof of who I am, my legal residency, and if I’m eligible to vote under US and State election laws.

But in recent years, politicians and kids indoctrinated into global Marxist theories think every person in the USA should have a right to vote, despite election laws that say they can’t. The recent open borders policies responsible for more than 40-million non-citizens in our country is an overt operation to replace legal American citizens, aka eligible voters, with what democrat politicians have concluded is a more desirable voter…ineligible voters.

Today, as we head into what promises to be the most critical election cycle in 247-years, democrats are working around the clock to “legalize illegal voting.” In states like Michigan and Colorado, democrat-controlled governments have rushed in new election legislation designed to legalize the illegal election procedures used in the 2020 and 2022 elections. It’s a direct assault on legal American eligible voters.

The democrat party is also working hard to use millions of intentionally imported foreign citizens to redistrict congressional apportionment. Why would any sane nation allow foreign citizens to be used by one political party to upend and subvert the will of legal Americans? Why would any American tolerate illegal aliens being placed on US Courts, in law enforcement or used for redistricting purposes, leading to ineligible voting?

Only someone with an agenda to subvert the will of legal Americans and destroy the Constitutional Republic, could support any such notions or policies.

ELECTION FRAUD

Of course, the same people responsible for this disastrous policy also claim, “there’s no evidence of election fraud.” Those at the top of the leftist food chain know better, even if their deaf, dumb, and blind sheep don’t.

If someone is legally ineligible to vote, and they vote, it’s election fraud.
If an eligible voter votes more than once, it’s election fraud.
If someone votes as a deceased person, it’s election fraud.
If people no longer living in a district, vote in that district, it’s election fraud.
If someone uses “ballot harvesting” to cast numerous ineligible ballots, it’s election fraud.
If someone engages in counting votes cast before or after voting deadlines, it’s election fraud.
If voting machines are connected to the internet, it’s election fraud.
If any foreign government or entity has access to our election procedures, it’s election fraud.

ALL of the above items took place in 2020 and 2022.

Every “ineligible vote” cancels an “eligible vote.” The result is a Deprivation of Rights, an act of subversion against the American people, and if any organization is involved, it’s “conspiracy to defraud voters.” If any governmental body is involved, and many are, it is a “deprivation of rights under color of law” and it’s illegal. If it’s illegal, then it’s election fraud.

Now, this is the easy stuff, which no American can honestly deny or disagree with, as we watch millions lie about it, including the entire mainstream media.

Add to this, any effort to switch votes on election day, whether via paper balloting (such as knocking hanging chads to the ground in endless Florida recounts circa 2000, or ballot harvesting) or via electronic machines programmed to switch votes in the tabulation process…you have witnessed a major operation to defraud voters, deprive them of their constitutional rights as legal citizens, and overthrow a government via massive fraudulent activities that can only be described as intentional…treason.

Three things have always been true.

No government in human history has ever earned the trust and faith of the people. They are all at best, a necessary evil that can never be trusted with unbridled power.
Election fraud has happened as long as elections have existed.
Neither side wants to fix it.

Therefore, it’s up to ALL legal American citizens to fix.

We must have free, fair, lawful, and transparent elections or we don’t have a country. We must have secure borders, or we don’t have a country. We must hold fraudsters fully accountable for their actions, or we don’t have a country or government of, by or for the legal American citizens.

In my previous piece Two Visions, Two Agendas, No Middle Ground, I put a very fine point on what’s really at stake in the USA 2024 elections.

Approximately 30% of Americans DO NOT CARE or ARE DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN AND SUPPORTIVE OF GLOBAL MARXIST FRAUD DESIGNED TO BRING AMERICA TO ITS KNEES. They have NO interest in ever Making America Great Again.

So, the remaining 70% MUST unite for this fight, or we will lose our country for all future generations, in just one election cycle.

Understand? Reach out to me if you do… I have some work for you!

Weathering the Coming Storm(s)

By Ms. Smallback

March 16, 2024

On June 8, 1966 the most destructive tornado in the history of America (up until that point) struck Topeka, Kansas. [Details here.] I wasn’t alive then, and I didn’t grow up in Topeka. I grew up on a farm in a county south of Topeka. When I actually moved to Topeka in my adult years, I began hearing stories about the deadly tornado that ripped a 22-mile path, including through the center of Topeka destroying much of the college known as Washburn University.

As stories go among the locals, I began to hear about a pastor who prophesied the coming tornado before it happened. He is well known in Topeka, and in fact many places for his faithful work unto God and in serving across the world. I was intrigued, but I only knew of the man. We did not run in the same circles.

A couple weeks ago I was thinking about that story and I told God that if I were to see Max Manning (the pastor who prophesied the destruction), I was going to ask him my question. (Max would be 95 years old at this point today.) Less than two days later Bill and I were at a diner we don’t frequent, and I turned the corner and there was Max Manning, sitting alone. I introduced myself and asked him if I could ask him about the 1966 event.

Max told me he was preaching Sunday, May 29 to his congregation. He said as he was giving his message, the Spirit fell upon him and in the midst of the message he said, “Thus says the Lord, in ten days destruction will hit your city.” He said it startled him greatly as he had never had such a thing happen to him before. Max said he stopped abruptly, lowered his head and prayed, saying to God, “what is this, God? I didn’t say this, where is this coming from?” He then raised his head to continue his sermon and the same words came out of his mouth, startling him. “Thus says the Lord, in ten days destruction will hit your city.” Twice the warning was issued.

Max told me that he and his wife left town on the ninth day to visit some people in the southern part of the state. The next day when they turned the radio on, they heard of the F5 half-mile wide tornado in Topeka. Up until that point he did not know how the “destruction” would manifest.

I was then able to ask him my question, “Did God tell you why?” He seemed intrigued by my question. I reworded, “Did God ever tell you why the destruction was coming to Topeka?” In my mind, destruction of such a nature can be a judgment for a breach or sin. Local rumors said Topeka was cursed for building houses on an old Indian burial site (Burnett’s mound). Others said it was representative for Washburn University adopting the “Ichabod” mascot. (Ichabod means “the glory of God has departed” and incidentally though, Topeka, Kansas is also the home of the Stone Street Revival that led to the Azusa Street Revival.) I hadn’t heard from the Lord if there was truth in either of those rumors, but I did wonder if the man who gave the city a ten day warning was also told the reason of the destruction.

Max smiled at me and shook his head. “No,” he said, “He never told me why.” “Do you know now?” I asked him. He smiled and shook his head and said, “No, I still don’t know why.”

Seventeen people died in the path of that tornado in Topeka, and another 550 were injured, not to mention the costliest damages to date in its history. The tornado took 26 minutes to pass through the city. I wonder what the numbers would have been if the whole city had heeded the warning?

The Coming Solar Eclipse

On April 8, a solar eclipse will make its way across America six years, six months, six weeks and six days from the date of the last solar eclipse that swathed a path across America. The place the eclipses’ paths intersect is called “Little Egypt” in southern Illinois.

Two of the seven “Nineveh” American cities are in the direct path of the eclipse, while the other five are clustered around it. The 2017 solar eclipse passed through seven American cities called “Salem” (a derivative of Jerusalem).

The anomalies are worth paying attention to. Of course the obvious question of — is God warning America to repent? — is at the foremost of a lot of minds. I think the obvious answer is yes, but I also think that cry for repentance has been heralded for a few decades now. Is this the undeniable last warning and call?

The intersection of the two eclipses being at Little Egypt says a lot by itself. Egypt, of course, is representative of idolatry – of which America has become a land full of. More telling than that is the particular “gods” mainstream America has adopted.

Mainstream America is woefully ignorant of the systems the powers that be have put into place that revolve a great deal around their worship systems. Just in the last week they applauded themselves and awarded little trophies mimicking the Egyptian creator God “Sokar” (another name for Ptah), and which they named a clever anagram of in Oscar…

It’s a common belief that the signs in the heavens (skies) are orchestrated by God to speak directly to those paying attention in a manner man cannot create or manipulate. History is replete with sun and moon and star signs, the most obvious being the star marking Christ’s entry. If anything, it would behoove the children of God to consider and pray about what God may (or may not) be saying.

We haven’t even touched on all the other precipices we’re dangling from…

Eye witness accounts of invading mercenaries through our defenseless border describe terrorists on the FBI terrorist lists, murderers, rapists, traffickers, Chinese secret police, Middle Eastern terrorists who had the boldness to tell the video journalist, “You don’t know who I am? You will.”… Countless more have been videoed coming across with full military style weaponry and body armor. And the one that makes my blood boil, people they say who have been sent by the U.N. These people have been given money and addresses to head to. This aren’t the huddled, tired masses. This is an invasion of mercenaries with marching orders waiting for the “go” signal.

The economy is long overdue for collapse. Inflation is stealing from the middle class at alarming rates. People have never been more in debt in America, and America itself has never been more in debt. Real estate is not affordable for the average family anymore, and exorbitant taxes are sucking Americans dry. It’s cheaper for our family to eat at a restaurant than a fast food restaurant in our city.

Since the covid vaccine (mRNA gene therapy) was mandated, heart disease, strokes, cancers and miscarriages have escalated at alarming rates. The American working force is being whittled down from increasing disabilities. And overall deaths are increasing disproportionately, especially in the young.

Threats of new viruses (Virus “X”) are talked about like it’s a foregone conclusion. Almost all of our food is genetically modified, laden with chemicals and artificial ingredients, and/or outsourced out of the country. Eating healthy is a full time job just figuring out.

Violent crime is escalating. The law abiding citizen is shunned justice and the criminals are let free.

Oh there are plenty of threats in and to America.

Solutions exist…

We’re not at a loss for solutions, it’s just that the System won’t allow them. The powers that be need us broken to accomplish their objectives.

I travel a lot, and there is not a city I have been in (large or small) that doesn’t have ample abandoned homes and buildings. Some of those empty buildings are absolutely beautiful. With all the money the government (federal, state, local) wastes on nonsense, they could just as easily put it toward helping restore abandoned homes. Malls are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Imagine converting them into housing complexes with small businesses interspersed that produce and provide a variety of needs locally sourced.

Imagine if the cities created incentives to rebuild broken neighborhoods and establish community food sources. There are fantastic underground greenhouses that enable even the coldest climates to produce tropical fruits and a variety of vegetation. There’s a compelling book called Holy Shit that expounds on the issues of animal waste and vegetation fertilizer. We have everything we need for everything we need right in front of our faces. They’ve just industrialized our society and put our dependence on corporations instead of local sources. It’s always about money and control.

Every neighborhood in America could provide for the needs of their neighborhood. It’s not unimaginable. The local high schools, community colleges and tech schools could make affordable services for the community in exchange for much needed internships and experience.

Energy sourcing is another thing they lie about and keep us in the dark about. Every alternative energy source from harvesting energy from the ionosphere to water powered cars has been buried and the inventors paid off or killed. Look into “earthship” homes to see practically self-sustaining homes that don’t even need public utilities.

Oh there are solutions.

We don’t have a lack of space, a lack of opportunity, a lack of housing. We have deliberate dependence on a broken system and an intentional repression of ideas that actually work.

Corey’s Digs does a fantastic series called The Solution Series that covers just about everything you could think of for freeing oneself from the tentacles of corporate and bureaucratic America. Check it out (yes there’s a small fee, but the sheer volume of information is worth it).

So about those storms….

Yeah, we have some hard things in America right now, and the crystal ball looks like even harder things are coming. But we are not powerless. They want us to think we are and they have an arsenal of schemes to make it appear so. But we should never agree with the enemy. Our job is to stand on what we know to be right and true, and only agree with God.

It’s like the 1966 tornado. Was that sent by God for a particular purpose or judgment, or was it orchestrated from some arena of darkness? Either way God warned the city. And that’s what He wanted me to know as I was pondering the coming season of storms to hit America. Some of the storms will be storms of judgment from Him, and some will be the chaos orchestrated from the dark players attempting to destroy America and its people. Either way the Lord is faithful to warn His people, just like He sent Jonah to Nineveh. We just have to be faithful to listen and respond as He shows us. The Wise Men followed the star to Bethlehem (they were Spirit led), but were warned in a dream to travel home a different route (because the enemy countered).

Some storms we aren’t going to be able to be spared from. There are some hard, hard things coming to America. It will likely be a mixture. Some hard things may be released for judgment for the unrighteousness in the land, while some other hard things may be the works of the enemy for our destruction. Like the 1966 tornado, we may not know if the storm beating down on us at the time is sent from God or the enemy. But ultimately the storm is either sent or allowed by God, and He is our only shelter. We must be prepared to seek Him and heed His warnings. We have to know if our response is repentance (judgment storm) where we put ourselves at the mercy of God, or faith (enemy-facilitated storm) where we take our stand against the works of the enemy. If He warns us of coming destruction, our next response should be, “What do you want me to do?”

Daniel 11:32, my friends…. “the people who know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” Another translation puts it this way, “the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action.”

If we posture ourselves correctly, the outcome is on the side of righteousness. We just need to make sure that’s the side we’re on.

A Tale of Two Texas Senators

by Amil Imani

March 16, 2024

Senator John Cornyn is a former Texas Supreme Court judge and State Attorney General. He has been a close ally of Mitch McConnell. Even with good credentials and background, he is mostly referred to in Texas as a RINO or an establishment Republican who needs to be removed from office. But no serious contenders have come forward to challenge him in the primaries. For the most part, he was reelected without major challenges despite being one of the most unpopular men in Texas. John Cornyn has done nothing substantial for Texas. He has been out of touch with the people of Texas for decades. He is a Washington insider. Like other establishment Republicans, Cornyn is a warmonger and supports sending unlimited American Taxpayers’ money to an utterly corrupt country, Ukraine.

John Cornyn’s announcement to run for the leadership of the US Senate, following Mitch McConnell’s decision to step down, is news, especially in Texas. The spin is that as the first senator to declare his intention to run for Senate Republican leader, Cornyn’s candidacy is notable for his “experience and leadership background” and “how his aim is to restore the Senate to its essential role in the constitutional republic” and a lot more about his “electoral strategy and external support.”

However, as of today, Cornyn is unsuitable for leadership for two main reasons. For one, he did not back Attorney General Ken Paxton during his impeachment by the Texas State House. He is also anti-Trump and anti-gun, as AG Paxton has already pointed out.

“It will be difficult for @JohnCornyn to be an effective leader since he is anti-Trump, anti-gun, and will be focused on his highly competitive primary campaign in 2026. Republicans deserve better in their next leader, and Texans deserve another conservative Senator. https://t.co/IKJYcoXzat
— Attorney General Ken Paxton (@KenPaxtonTX) February 29, 2024

It is worth noting that after the fake impeachment by the “Deep State” Republicans in the Texas House (known as the UniParty) and his final acquittal in the State Senate, Attorney General Ken Paxton has become an icon, the only man left blocking Biden and his cronies from making Texas as blue and lawless as California. His popularity has soared.

Cornyn played a significant role in negotiating the first major anti-gun bill in decades following the Robb Elementary shooting in Uvalde. The Second Amendment clearly states. Anyone going against the spirit of the 2nd Amendment doesn’t have the commitment to understanding its historical context and purpose.

Cornyn has also been involved in efforts to support the migrant influx at the U.S.-Mexico border, and he has introduced bills aimed at making this influx easy, including measures to rapidly process migrant invasion and speed up the processing of asylum seekers. His approach has completely exposed him, and for one, to put it mildly, it reeks of an agenda-driven policy detrimental to the well-being of the state of Texas. For one, rapidly processing illegal aliens raises concerns about sacrificing thorough vetting procedures, potentially undermining national security, and also resulting in overlooking legitimate asylum claims.

His current abilities as a leader are under a cloud, as it is clear that Cornyn’s involvement in supporting measures to ease the illegal alien flood is driven more by political expediency and the New World Order (NWO) agenda.

On the other hand, we have Senator Ted Cruz. Cruz has consistently advocated against gun regulation, arguing that such policies are ineffective and do not prevent crime. This stance reflects a commitment to uphold the Second Amendment and the belief that the focus should be on enhancing law enforcement and security measures rather than on restricting gun ownership. For those who prioritize individual rights and the belief in the efficacy of law enforcement over gun control, Cruz’s position is to be seen as more aligned with their values.

In fact, Cruz was chiefly instrumental in introducing a rival bill that would increase school security funding, showcasing his willingness to propose alternative solutions to address the issue of gun violence. This action exemplifies Cruz’s abilities as a leader as he offers a comprehensive approach to safety beyond just gun control, which is more in keeping with broader strategies to prevent violence. “Cruz says $8B in economic aid to Ukraine is “crap”: “A lot of that is almost certain to go to waste.”

Moreover, Ted Cruz’s support for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton during the impeachment effort highlights his commitment to the principles of due process and conservative governance. Cruz very openly supports Paxton for his efforts to combat the abuses of the Biden administration, emphasizing his effectiveness in battling these issues. Cruz’s defense of Paxton contrasts with the position of John Cornyn, the senior senator from Texas who found the investigation into Paxton’s alleged wrongdoing “deeply troubling.”

In short, Texas has two Republican Senators. One is pro-Texas, and one is in tune with the Washington “Deep State.” Cornyn’s overall approval rating hovers around 24 percent, and this represents a dramatic reversal from previous years when a majority of Texans were not even aware of Cornyn’s daily activities.

Conclusion

Senator Ted Cruz emerges as a more suitable choice for Texas and the nation as a whole. Cornyn’s past actions, including his stance on key issues such as gun confiscation and illegal immigration, raise concerns about his commitment to upholding fundamental principles and addressing complex challenges effectively. In contrast, Cruz has consistently advocated for preserving individual rights, upholding due process, and proposing comprehensive solutions to issues like gun violence. His support for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton during the impeachment effort demonstrates a commitment to conservative governance and principles.

Moreover, Cruz’s approach resonates with a broader base of Texans, as evidenced by his higher approval ratings and continued support. In a political landscape where leadership and integrity are paramount, Senator Ted Cruz stands out over John Cornyn for representing the values and interests of Texas. Texans overwhelmingly favor Cornyn to retire.

Nikki Haley Had a Chance at Greatness

By Lex Greene

March 15, 2024

Thousands of Americans who have been dog whistle trained to “hate Trump” despite no evidence ever being presented against him to prove he is guilty of anything he’s been accused of, took to Nikki Haley in the 2024 GOP Presidential race. Among 15 challengers to Trump, she was the last challenger standing. But after losing all but two primaries, D.C. and Bernie Sanders land, her campaign for President (or Vice President) ended abruptly the morning after Super Tuesday.

Indeed, Nikki had a chance to not only “make history,” but to actually do something great for her country and every American citizen.

Her policy positions are far closer to that of the Democrat Party than the GOP. This explains why she won the two most far left primaries… D.C., (the most democrat city in America) and Vermont, Sanders socialist country, via “open primaries” where democrats were able to vote in the GOP primaries.

According to Nikki’s campaign and her fans, Nikki could beat Joe Biden in a head-to-head race, by at least a 5-point margin. Based upon this theoretical claim, she could have eliminated Biden by running against him for the DNC nomination. If Nikki had truly been for America, that’s exactly what she would have done.

Had Nikki run against Biden for the DNC nomination, as someone allegedly opposed to the O’Biden regime and their anti-American policies, she may have defeated Joe for the DNC nomination, setting up a general election race between Democrat Nikki Haley and Republican Donald Trump.

In this situation, America would have had two choices better than O’Biden come November and Obama’s 3^rd term behind the Biden facade’ would have come to an immediate end.

But instead, Nikki attempted to run as a Republican by using the same lies about Trump that the DNC has used since 2015. Even California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsome openly referred to Nikki as “democrats best surrogate against Trump,” who has always been the clear 2024 GOP nominee for President.

As a result, Nikki lost her bid for the GOP nomination in a massive landslide loss to Trump, seen as nothing more than what Newsome said she was, a surrogate for the reelection of Joe Biden. She not only eliminated any chance of ever becoming President, but any chance of becoming a Vice Presidential running mate as well.

On the heels of a stolen 2020 election and three years of horrific disastrous performance by O’Biden, Trump was a shoo-in for the 2024 GOP nomination and every awake American knew it, which is why democrats have tried every dirty trick in Mao’s book of dirty tricks to eliminate Trump’s ability to even appear on a ballot, all of which will fail.

80-million+ Make America Great Again voters were never going to support anyone but Trump in 2024, and no matter what happens next, they never will. Contrary to false propaganda on the matter, Trump supporters are not Trump followers. They are pissed off American patriots determined to Make America Great Again for future generations, who happened to choose outsider Trump for their mission.

Trump supporters are simply AMERICA supporters. They want national sovereignty, security, justice, peace, and prosperity for every American citizen, even those not smart enough to vote it for themselves.

Nikki had a chance to be part of Making America Great Again. But instead, she took the bait from pre-programmed Trump-haters and took the road most traveled, doing the bidding of the Democrat Party and their O’Biden reelection attempt for a 4^th Obama term.

I’d much rather see a general election race between Haley (D) and Trump (R) in the fall, than face another corrupt election process designed to keep Obama in power for a 4^th term.

If Nikki was what her fans think she is, they would prefer that too, and Nikki would have challenged Joe for the DNC nomination instead of helping the DNC attack Trump, the clear GOP nominee from day one.

The error, or was it an intentional operation, likely ended any political future for Nikki Haley. It’s all in the history books now…

The only open item is what her fans are going to do next?

Half of her primary votes came from registered democrats who crossed over in the open GOP primaries but will likely vote democrat in the general election. The other half will face a decision to either close ranks with 80-million+ Trump supporters to defeat the 4^th Obama term hidden behind a demented old political criminal of over 40-years now…or they will vote for the worst President in US history out of their unfounded, childish, and ill-advised hatred for Trump.

Hate is a terrible thing…especially when it may cost every American the future of freedom and liberty. It’s not logical, ethical, moral, or conservative. It’s just emotion driven.

Nikki could have been important to the future of the USA. But she chose to hate and to do the bidding of democrats instead, and unless Biden wins and throws her a bone for her help, her political future just ended.

Biden’s Bloody Revolution for America

By Cliff Kincaid

March 15, 2024

“There is no pain like losing a child” is one of the messages in the St. Jude’s commercials we see regularly on television, and we are all touched and contribute to this worthy cause. Childhood cancers are devastating to the children and the families. But on Thursday, in what Axios calls a “historic” first for a member of a presidential ticket, Kamala Harris visits an abortion clinic in Minnesota to celebrate the extinction of innocent unborn human life.

As Harris celebrates the surgical or chemical destruction of human beings, our media are filled with talk of a gang leader named “Barbecue” taking control of Haiti and a possible exodus of people from that poor nation to America. It’s another disaster on Biden’s watch.

There is a lesson here for America. The flaming tires in much of the footage in Haiti remind us of what happened when communists took control of South Africa and “necklacing” was a common practice. Flaming tires were put around the necks of traitors to the revolution.

In America, the Biden-Harris revolution means sacrificing the lives of unborn babies. Anyone opposed to the practice is considered a traitor to the revolution.

Other facets of the revolution in America include transgenderism, dope on demand, and anti-Semitism.

Interestingly, I ran into a Catholic priest in a local Post Office in the Washington, D.C. area, and he confirmed previous reports that exorcisms are being conducted on several demon-possessed individuals in the region. In my opinion, the church itself needs an exorcism so that it can stand up to the madness.

Every year, as the March for Life approaches in D.C., the Catholic Church proclaims the sanctity of human life. So it will be interesting to see what their reaction is to Kamala Harris’s visit to the abortion business in Minnesota.

Harris has not given birth to any children of her own, but she wants to make sure women have a “right” to destroy their own.

Meanwhile, here in Maryland, the California of the East, Maryland Attorney General Anthony G. Brown, a Democrat, has joined a coalition of 19 attorneys general in “opposing a state law in Idaho that blocks the ability of transgender youth to access critical, lifesaving gender-affirming care.”

So-called “lifesaving gender-affirming care” is communist terminology for chemicals and surgeries that mutilate a child’s God-given gender characteristics.

At the same time, Biden himself, during his State of the Union address, appealed to the stoners. An influential pro-dope publication called Marijuana Business Daily says, “President Joe Biden’s mention of ongoing marijuana reform efforts during his annual State of the Union address is considered a landmark achievement for MJ [marijuana] policy by political observers as well as stakeholders in the $34 billion U.S. cannabis industry.”

The Democratic Party, under the guidance of George Soros, brought this $34 billion industry to prominence as another source of campaign money for them. They prey on young people.

In his State of the Union, Biden said that he had directed his “cabinet to review the federal classification of marijuana,” to make it seem less dangerous and expand use, even while numerous studies link the drug to mental illness and gun violence.

This week, Kamala Harris will host a pro-pot rally in the White House.

We regularly see “Stop Smoking” and “Quit” public service announcements regarding tobacco, but smoking dope is now celebrated.

There are many different required warnings for cigarette packages and advertisements with graphic images of various health problems. But marijuana is given a pass because the industry generates campaign money for the Democrats.

As if the cases of cannabis-induced psychosis are not enough, the latest study from the American Heart Association finds that daily marijuana users are at an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

Meanwhile, the Congress debates a ban on a social media platform called TikTok but nothing is done on the national level about Chinese marijuana-growing operations in California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Washington.

Scott Chipman of Americans Against Legalizing Marijuana says, “Legalized pot has become an invitation to international crime rings and cartels. No need to smuggle drugs across the border. Just set up shop in a ‘legalized’ state. There is not enough law enforcement to deal with the proliferation of criminality so most of the will go unaddressed.”

This is another result of Biden’s open borders policy.

There is some official concern on the federal level, and even some Democrats are alarmed. But a grand total of only 50 lawmakers sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland over Chinese Communist Party-linked marijuana farms on America soil.

By any measure, the CCP-linked dope farms are clearly even more of a threat than TikTok, now a subject of national attention. In November 2022, a Chinese national murdered four people on an Oklahoma marijuana farm after a monetary dispute, the congressional letter says.

“In addition to growing marijuana,” say the Congressional members, “investigators in Oklahoma discovered illicit marijuana growers engaged in human trafficking, sex trafficking, ketamine trafficking, illegal gambling, and international money laundering.”

The Biden campaign uses TikTok even while denouncing its influence and promoting acceptance of marijuana. This crowd will do anything for votes, even destroying the young people they cultivate for those same votes. It is truly sick.

Commenting on the transgenderism issue in sports, in which men perform as women, former ESPN host Sage Steele made some interesting observations, noting that something “insidious” is happening that is “evil” and “lurking” in society.

The word “lurking” seems like an appropriate term. The definition means “To lie in wait in a place of concealment, especially for an evil purpose.”

It is now out in the open, however.

With exorcisms underway in the Washington, D.C. region, let us hope and pray that the “Powers of Darkness” are addressed directly by the Catholic Church and other religious leaders.

Instead, I fear the church will double-down on meddling in the Middle East and adopting an anti-Israel policy known as the “two-state solution” that guarantees more bloodshed and another Holocaust.

This is Biden’s approach. In what the site Just the News called the “harshest” comments made to date against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by a top-level U.S. official, Senate Democrat Leader Sen. Charles Schumer criticized Netanyahu’s leadership and called for Israel to hold elections to depose him.

Netanyahu wants to win the war. But Biden wants Israel to fail, in part because the Muslims that are members of the base of the Democratic Party base are upset at Israel’s success and realize that a nuclear-capable Iran is the next logical target for Israeli leaders anxious to save the Jewish state.

So in addition to abortion, transgenderism, and dope, I need to add anti-Semitism to Biden’s winning formula this November. He fears anti-Israel protests at the Democratic National Convention in August so he must undermine Israel and overthrow Netanyahu during a time of war for Israel’s survival.

While destroying America from within, with the help of the communists, Biden also wants to destroy Israel in the name of peace. It is truly evil.

We can see where all of this is going. If Biden has his way, the Jews will have to leave Israel after the next Holocaust and arrive on our shores, perhaps with a group of Haitians fleeing the gang leader known as Barbecue and his promised “bloody revolution.”

America and the world are on fire. The Biden team wants to pour more gas on the flames, in a desperate effort to maintain power.

Higher Education: The Case for New, Parallel Institutions

By Steven Yates

March 15, 2024

“Our students will learn the foundations, blessings, and challenges of a free and prosperous society. They will grasp the importance of law, virtue, order, beauty, and the sacred. They will appreciate the distinct vitality of the American form of government and way of life.” —Dr. Jacob Howland, Provost and Dean of Intellectual Foundations, University of Austin

Higher education in Western civilization is broken. As the saying goes, it has lost its way. This happened gradually, but now the process is pretty much complete. Based on my own experiences as well as those of others, I am skeptical that anything can be salvaged. If its mission ever was to educate and not indoctrinate, and given the ludicrous price tag of a four-year degree today, the ideal would be to allow today’s academic mainstream to die a natural death.

The time has come to create and build up new institutions of higher learning: parallel institutions in a parallel academy.

True, there have been a handful of private colleges that for years have remained steadfastly independent and committed to their own visions, typically by refusing all federal money. Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Mich., and Grove City College in Grove City, Penn. come to mind first. They are the most visible. There are a few others. Because our situation is dire — the collapse of real education in the face of the rise of the bogus surrogates that pass for education in today’s urban wastelands, not to mention centers of governmental and corporate power, is a threat to our survival — we need new institutions and we needed them yesterday.

From the Plagiarism Crisis to the Fundamentally Fraudulent Nature of Most Higher Education.

What is the evidence that existing institutions cannot be salvaged and ought to be allowed to die?

I think the most recent thing that did it for me was this. It is worth reproducing; this is Harvard University’s flagship publication, at what is still the most prestigious university in the country:

“Plagiarism Is the Right’s Newest Weapon. Harvard Must Disarm It.”

You read that right.

This is in the wake not just of Claudine Gay’s forced resignation from the presidency of Harvard following her exposure as a plagiarist (“retiring” to a position in the history department that will pay her a cool $900,000 a year!), but the accusation of the school’s DIE officer (okay, DEI, if you insist) Sherri A. Charleston, of 40 counts of plagiarism.

By “disarming it,” the authors (the entire Harvard Crimson editorial board) mean contending that plagiarism and DEI (Diversity-Equity-Inclusion ideology) “have nothing to do with each other.”

Don’t they now? Well, the connection is less direct than pure cause-and-effect.

If the allegation is that DEI, which is just the latest and most extreme permutation of affirmative action ideology, obtains admissions for students and positions for faculty and administrators that they aren’t qualified for, then one might expect its beneficiaries to take short cuts. Plagiarism is one such short cut, possibly the easiest. Claudine Gay was clearly unqualified to be the president of anything. Were she not a “woman of color,” as the prevailing jargon would have it (white isn’t a color, after all), she’d never come anywhere near Harvard, much less be instilled at its helm.

I don’t know how much plagiarism exists in academia today. Software’s ability to detect it has improved by leaps and bounds in recent years. The problem is that the torrent of academic publications — books with dozens of academic presses, book reviews and review essays, stand-alone articles, shorter discussion pieces, in hundreds of academic journals in every discipline — has never been larger. According to one estimate it would take thousands of hours to vet all the publications of the faculty of a single institution such as Harvard, even with today’s enhanced detection software.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not of the view that plagiarism is limited to affirmative action’s beneficiaries or hard academic leftists. With full-time, tenure-track teaching jobs increasingly scarce and competition correspondingly fierce, the pressure to publish in order to be visible to hiring committees has never been greater. This, too, is bound to tempt the ambitious to take the same short cuts if they believe they can get away with it, knowing that no editor at any academic press or journal can possibly be familiar with all the literature out there, even in their specialty.

Plagiarism is thus just one massive problem plaguing academia. Philosopher Peter Boghossian — co-author of a controversial series of articles (search for “conceptual penis”) which were accepted for publication in journals of the feminist / postmodernist / DEI persuasion despite being purposefully fraudulent — gave a recent interview in which, in the context of a devastating criticism of wokeness (yet another term that emerged for the affirmative action mindset; see also here and here) recommended also searching for replication crisis.

Replication of results is essential to so-called scientific method. If a study has been done properly, methodologically speaking, it should be possible for others to use those same methods to reproduce the results of that study, thus validating those results as contributions to our knowledge base. Yet after the past couple of decades it has become clear that many supposed findings by academic scientists have resisted replication.

How much of this is due to incentivized carelessness, resulting from the need to publish as a condition of tenure and promotions, and how much is due to actual dishonesty, is not clear. According to Nature, as mainstream a scientific periodical as you’re likely to find, a poll of 1,500 scientists yielded these results: 70 percent reported that they had failed to replicate results of at least one study conducted by peers. Various more specific percentages cut across scientific and technical disciplines: 87 percent of chemists, 69 percent of physicists and engineers, 77 percent of biologists, 64 percent of environmental and earth scientists, 67 percent of medical researchers, and 62 percent of all other respondents made such claims. Fifty percent, moreover, had been unable to reproduce one of their own experiments.

Two percent of this group confessed to having falsified results, and 14 percent knew someone who had. Alarmingly, this same study indicated that bogus results are more frequent in medical research than elsewhere. Think about the implications of that when you are assessing official narratives about the safety and efficacy of the mRNA shots for covid.

Where does all this leave academic science? Most academic science is either government science or corporate science or both in some combination, because of the reality that a scientific study is too complex and cumbersome to undertake in the absence of outside funding — an obvious source of potential bias in favor of the ideas, worldview, and perhaps ideological agendas of those holding the purse strings.

Boghossian argues compellingly, moreover, that “smart people” (people with PhDs) are especially prone to missing the problem here. Most probably believe themselves above making that sort of mistake. Being a “smart person” doesn’t necessarily make you conscious of your limitations, however. Sometimes it does just the opposite.

For as Boghossian observes, “smart people” are very good at coming up with rationalizations for dominant ideas that may be utterly irrational, or at least lack the support that is assumed, incorrectly if the studies it is based on are methodologically botched. If the hard sciences can have gone as far sideways as the above percentages suggest, think what this means for the “softer” humanities!

Groupthink and intellectual inbreeding are definite factors; no one wants to be the “odd man (or odd woman) out,” and in academia given the above-noted structural pressures, being ostracized for any reason can jeopardize a career. The need to be hired in the first place; then tenured; then promoted; cumulatively create an environment which breeds corruption as professors praise and cite each other, sometimes publish one another, and play off and reinforce one another’s irrationalities.

As I’ve put this previously: conformists can gain admission to the club. Dissidents are weeded out. The results are a vast echo chamber — fundamentally fraudulent and compelling us to ask: how much of our supposed knowledge base I referred to above really merits that designation in the present environment?

Diversity-Equity-Inclusion ideology, having brought about the opinions that “math is racist” (because black students have trouble with it) and that “gender reassignment” is viable for kids, is probably the most obvious sign of the fraud. A moral (or pseudo-moral) impulse took priority over actual, demonstrable results. The best way to describe this pseudo-moral impulse: absent discrimination (active or “structural”), every group identified as such via identity politics will be politically and economically equal and have equal access to resources and positions of authority. If we don’t see this we shouldn’t advocate for mere equality of opportunity, as this will only reinforce “structural” discrimination; but instead equity, which sets about rearranging the structure to achieve politically desirable results. Moreover, your identity is yours based on your feelings, which are now prioritized over reasons and even hard evidence. The worst sin is to give offense. Hence all the pap about “microaggressions.”

DEI advocates have tried to impose this irrationalist ideology on institutions by force. With “bias response teams,” “cancellation” of dissidents, etc., they have largely succeeded. Thus, most of the small handful of conservative intellectuals still on campuses self-censor, and conservative students say they are afraid to state their actual views on politically sensitive topics in class, or on tests, or assignments. This further reinforces the hard left echo chamber.

This, then, is what millions of students are accumulating five and sometimes six figures of student loan debt to endure for four or more years. Often, they graduate with degrees that are worthless, whether in the marketplace or as actual knowledge, which implies that what they’ve been compelled to listen to for four years is true.

Back to Basics.

What was higher education — education generally — supposed to be about? Even if it is exemplified almost nowhere today, and even if public schools never really exemplified it at all?

First, the pursuit of truth — to service human flourishing (I like to put it). Here we hit the snag that goes back at least as far as Pontius Pilate’s “What is truth?” Thanks to roughly a half-century of postmodernism, this is a far bigger problem than it needs to be.

We don’t need an intellectually perfect “theory of truth” to have some idea what we’re talking about. We just need to be realists. We’re talking about reality, what exists independently of our prior knowledge, wishes, or will — or the language in which our talk about reality is expressed. In a sense, we begin trying to understand the world around us as children. At least some knowledge of common horse sense truths is necessary to avoid harming ourselves. We learn as children that hot stove surfaces burn. We learn that blueberries are nourishing but that toadstools are poisonous.

Those among us who are lifelong learners never stop pursuing truth. Some truths (such as those above) are easy to come by. Others take a tremendous amount of work. Knowing that truth has eluded us in some arena often constitutes a problem. We are problem-solvers, however. Some of us prove to be very good at it.

To pursue truth is not inherently political, although certain institutional and societal norms will enable and enhance the pursuit of truth. What norms are these?

Freedom of thought, freedom of inquiry, freedom of speech — in every area of the world, society, and life generally, we may see fit to explore because we perceive a problem in need of a solution.

Without the first two, members of an intellectual community cannot realistically pursue what is true. Without the third, they cannot meaningfully share their results, just in case these lead them to question the prevailing groupthink.

Then, because of real diversity — of circumstances of birth and upbringing, background, experience, personal inclination, and so on (not just ethnicity) — differences of opinion are bound to emerge whenever thinking people exchange ideas freely.

It then becomes important to maintain an environment of civil discourse — in which such differences are respected and handled, if necessary, through structured exchanges and debates, in which the parties to any dispute have the maturity to police themselves.

You’d think “smart people” (with PhDs) would be able to do this, to create this sort of environment.

Disrupting public speeches with shouts and insults should not be tolerated. Much less open threats, or just the sense of the potential for physical violence that has come to characterize places like Berkeley, where the administration has paid as much as $500,000 in security to protect an outside conservative speaker in the face of threats (sometimes then cancelling the appearance because that wasn’t enough).

Unfortunately, the prospects for stopping such incidents from occurring doesn’t appear likely, because circumventing the dominance of the campus ideologies that rationalize such reactions especially to conservative ideas.

First, there’s the tenured hard left, activist types who gave us movements like radical “gender feminism” and critical race theory in the 1990s (yes, Virginia, this has been developing that long). Dislodging professors who have tenure, absent obvious criminal behavior or extreme moral turpitude, is extremely difficult, especially if those doing the dislodging are perceived as “angry white male” conservatives coming in from outside and the whole campus has the person’s back. Claudine Gay is tenured in Harvard’s history department; her newfound status as a plagiarist was not enough to send her packing.

Then there are students. Now that Gen Z (born from 1996 to 2012 or thereabouts) is moving through college, we have an entire generation that’s never known anything but identity politics and takes DEI for granted. They’ve been told all their lives that injustice is systemic, that if they are white they benefit from “white privilege” as a central component of “structural racism,” that racism is (as Boghossian puts it) an “everyday state of affairs.” They’ve also grown up with the idea that we’re killing the planet with man-made climate change.

Small wonder members of this generation, whatever their ethnicity, are having to deal with more psychological problems than any of their predecessors. They are angrier, more depressed, and a small but not insignificant fraction have considered suicide.

The situation is even worse. The mindset that sees everything through the lens of systemic oppression and seeks to rectify it with “equity” based hiring itself now threatens people’s lives. It spread to medical education and from there into the medical profession some time ago. It is spreading to occupations such as airline pilots which do not have enough women and blacks to satisfy “diversity” bureaucrats. I recall someone jokingly asking back in the 1990s whether “feminist airplanes would stay aloft for feminist engineers.” As we realize that the DEI crowd is very serious about trying to have proportional representation of women (feminists — Trump-voting women need not apply!), ethnic minorities, homosexuals, and transsexuals, according to their percentage of the population in every occupation, such quips cease to be funny.

Would you want to fly in a plane piloted by someone who got hired through the airline’s DEI office?

How This Disaster Happened. Conservative Organizations Bear Part of the Blame.

Coming back to the beginning. Back in the 1990s when exposés on what was then just called political correctness were beginning to appear, this might have been reparable from the inside. Political correctness and its ideological spawn (e.g., radical academic “gender feminism”) could have been stopped back then with forceful opposition, including class action (as opposed to a handful of individual) lawsuits, had a decisive effort been made.

It wasn’t.

For whatever reason, the few conservative organizations which had influence failed to make use of the resources available to them, which would have included obtaining positions or at least financial support for conservative scholars most of whom eventually left intellectual professions out of frustration when they ended up at bottom-tier institutions, or with marginal, part-time jobs in think tanks, or unemployed.

The vastly better organized (and far better funded) academic left simply took over.

We Need New Parallel Institutions, a Parallel Academia.

By the late 1990s the term parallel institutions was circulating in conservative circles. Again, though, very little was done. A few online entities were created. Only a couple (that I know of) survived. They are professionally invisible.

Today the situation is far more dire. In the face of the rise of foreign powers such as Russia and China, whose strengths are that they take education seriously, the collapse of higher education in the West is an existential threat to our survival — one of several!

The only way we can come back is through the creation and building up of new institutions. I only know of one so far whose founders seem to be doing everything right and are planning to launch their first full freshman class next fall: the University of Austin, presently taking up one floor of a single building in downtown Austin, Texas; and with plans to break ground for a traditional physical campus in the near future.

Other things being equal, the country — indeed, the entire Western world — needs more such efforts. One institution alone cannot possibly do the job of bringing back (or possibly creating) and implementing a philosophy of education that values the pursuit of truth, free speech and inquiry, affirms the necessity of civil discourse, and can carry it forth into society. That is: education and training there can merge intellectual-foundations learning into real world action for the purposes of problem-solving and human flourishing.

I have no idea if the present marketplace will support such efforts, so deep is the cultural Marxist rot in contemporary culture. Will such efforts, assuming their founders are able to get the word out, find networks of support who are willing to invest in them? Will students come, perhaps of all ages, who are fed up with the self-censorious ambience of the mainstream institutions, willing to take a chance on something new? Will accreditation agencies support them, or are they, too, compromised by the DEI worldview (last I heard, most were just as bad as the mainstream institutions themselves)? Will prospective employers place any stock in courses taken, or credentials earned, from parallel institutions?

I don’t know the answers to these questions. But if investors or other sources of funding do not see the value in supporting financially the ideas for new institutions still on drawing boards between now and the end of the present decade, and if prospective students do not come, we can expect the present rot to deepen until it pulls down what is left of Western civilization which will seem to have committed intellectual and institutional suicide.

That’s if a major cyberattack, a physical terrorist attack, another plan-demic, or some other calamity we should have anticipated and circumvented but didn’t, doesn’t do us in first.

What if You Are Wrong?

By Coach Dave Daubenmire

March 14, 2024

“The Bible Says it. I believe it. And that settles it.”

I often hear that as the fallback position of many Christians when it comes to defending their faith. That sounds good and holy, but that does not always fly as TRUTH.

The Bible says a lot of things which, when taken out of context, can be made to sound true. But sounding like Truth and BEING the Truth are not the same thing. Context is everything.

Context is defined as “the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood and assessed.” The Luciferian LEFT loves to take statements…something someone said…out of context and ascribe to the statement a meaning that was not at all what the person said.

For instance, JUDGE NOT, is a statement that we often hear when we are pointing out where someone might be doing something that we believe to be wrong. Jesus never said not to judge, He said be careful HOW you judge.

As a result, many believe that Christians are wrong to judge others because the statement is out of context. Here is what He actually said…in context.

“Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.”

Jesus was referring to HYPOCRITICAL judgement. In other words, to criticize someone while you are doing the same thing. OF COURSE we are to judge…we do it all the time. IN fact, you are judging what you are reading right now. Only a fool or a weak Christian does not judge.

Be careful, for Scripture, taken OUT of context can make the Scripture mean something it does not actually say.

Here is a list of CHRISTIAN Denominations. There are currently 45,000 different ones. NOT CHURCHES. DENOMINATIONS. Remember your 2^nd grade math…long division? Numerator and denominator? The denominator was the number by which the whole number was divided. Hence CHRISTIAN denominations are separate VERSIONS of Christianity.

The 44,000 denominations all profess to be Christians, yet they denominate (divide) over what the Bible says. That is how we end up with Catholics, Lutherans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, etc. They DON’T agree on what the Bible says. Some things in the Bible are not clear and are open to interpretations. Baptism, communion, gifts of the Spirit, function of the church, role of the Holy Spirit, healing, tongues, feasts, and end times are some of the issues that Christians divide over. Check this site out.

Yet, every denomination can show why what THEY believe is the TRUTH. They all read the same Bible, but disagree on what it actually teaches. Hence, The Bible Says it. I believe it. And that settles it is not actually true.

All Christian denominations are part of the Christian RELIGION. Religion is simply a belief in a Supernatural God. THEOLOGY is the great divider. OLOGY is defined as “the study of” while THEOS means God. So, theology is simply “the study of God.”

Denominations are the problem. Paul warned us “But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strife’s.” Division within the body of Christ because “strifes,” are hindering the advancement of the Gospel. The Prophet Amos asked a very simple question:

“Can two walk together, except they be agreed?”

Much of what you and I have been taught is mere speculation based on the opinions of man.

I host a daily podcast where we openly discuss the things that we believe. There are no sacred cows. We ask the question “who told you some of the things you believe and why have you not investigated it more deeply?” For instance, WHO are the Jews and are they God’s chosen people? Is there anyone in Heaven today? Did speaking in tongues cease? Are we supposed to always obey the government? Does God love everybody? What do Christians DO? Once saved always saved? Is there a Rapture of the church? Is God pro-choice? What we find out often shocks us.

Nothing is too sacred to discuss and after 2118 weekday broadcasts most of us are still friends.

Who taught you what you believe? Where did he learn it? Have you always been in the same denomination your whole life? If the Bible says it and that settles it why aren’t some of these issues settled? Where did your Pastor learn what he is teaching you? Aren’t you curious?

Is there any wonder America is such a divided nation. Heck we cannot even get the Christians to agree on what is true. Jesus warned us that “if the blind leadeth the blind they both end up in a ditch.” It is time to start digging our way out.

“Not everyone who says unto me Lord, Lord shall enter the Kingdom.” Evidently some folks who claim to be following Jesus are missing the boat.

“What is Truth?” That is what Pontius Pilate asked Jesus on the night He was sentenced to death. Jesus never replied. Pilate was looking into the face of the incarnation of Truth and he was unable to recognize it.

Ronald Reagan exhorted us to “Trust, but verify.” If it is a good axiom for politics, wouldn’t it be even more imperative for the things of the Spirit? Are you content to blindly follow what the hireling in the pulpit tells you? Are you sure that other denomination has got it wrong?

Only the Truth makes you free, Jesus told us. Doesn’t Truth matter to you? Are you comfortable believing things that are not True? Is it possible that some of the things your “church” teaches is not true?

Jude, the half-brother of Jesus warned us that “evil men have crept in unawares and changed the Truth of God into a lie…” Crept in where? What did they change? How do we recognize the imposters? Interesting, eh?

I was taught from an early age that Mary was ever Virgin. But a reading of the Bible shows Jesus had siblings? How can that be? Is somebody is pulling my leg. Check this out.

The Bible says it. I believe it…but it is far from settled. We all need to “study to show thyself approved.”

Broad is the way and narrow is the gate…many come, FEW find it. What if what you have been taught is not true? Are you ok with that?

Only the TRUTH will make you free. One God. 45,000 denominations. Trust but verify.

How Would You Sell the USA?

By Lee Duigon

March 14, 2024

Let’s pretend the United States was a single property–its people, its culture, its economy: everything–and it was your job to find a buyer for it. How would you advertise it? And let’s further suppose your sales pitch had to be as honest as possible, without being suicidal.

What would you say? “A Great Fixer-Upper”? “Needs Work”? “Invest in Hope”? (I like that one; I must find a use for it.)

Uh-oh. Here are two factors that might drive down the market value.

Political Corruption. As reported by The Federalist, our current administration has been laundering tax dollars, paid by everyone regardless of party, to recruit college students for a massive “get out the vote” project–in reality, a scheme to get out the vote for Democrats, Republicans need not apply.

You’d think there’d be some kind of law against this–using tax dollars for partisan political shenanigans. Maybe no one ever thought we’d need such a law. So we have “Biden bucks” for SloJo’s re-election, enthusiastically backed by teachers’ unions who want it to reach all the way down into freakin’ kindergarten–“teaching kids about disinformation.” For those who haven’t paid attention, “disinformation” is any information that doesn’t jibe with Far Left politics.

Corruption in the Churches. What do you get when you mix religion with pop culture? Look and see.

Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, a megachurch boasting 34,000 weekly congregants, this year held a “Super Sunday Super Bowl Service (!),” featuring an alleged pastor kicking the Bible off the stage. (Yeahbut, yeahbut! The Bible was decorated with football stitches!) They also reveled in what another pastor called “middle school humor”… from the pulpit. It was all supposed to make church “fun.” And be spiritually beneficial, too!

Once upon a time, men and women would rather be martyred–and in many cases, were martyred–than lend themselves to such a spectacle. St. Paul wrote, “Let all things be done decently and in good order” (1 Corinthians 14:40). What do you think he would have thought of this?

We have many broken churches in this country. What do you get when you mix religion with pop culture? You get pseudo-religious garbage.

It’s not going to be easy to clean up this mess. Corrupt politics and fake religion won’t simply depart if we show them the door. They’ll fight us tooth and nail, and not according to any rules you ever heard of.

I have discussed these and other topics throughout the week on my blog, Click the link and drop in for a visit: we promise not to show you any football. My articles can also be found at http://www.chalcedon.edu/ .

Weaponized Immigration as a Form of Asymmetrical Warfare Against America

By Frosty Wooldridge

March 14, 2024

One sociologist said, “Mass illegal immigration is being used to destroy the United States politically, culturally, economically, and even geographically.”

A dear friend of mine in Michigan said, “When Joe Biden is not eating ice cream, which further adds to his arcane attempts at speaking, he claims that his administration’s programs are a ‘success’. Ironically, he is in one sense diabolically correct, as his goal, assuming he understands some of what he is reaping on our country, coincides with Obama’s “fundamental transformation of America.”

“I recently read that those of us in America who are 75 or older now make up less than 1% of the population. Following the passing of almost all of the Greatest Generation of WWII vintage, the majority in America includes some of the most poorly educated (especially in the areas of History, Government, and Civics), apathetic, self-serving, and falsely entitled members to ever call themselves citizens. That we should add another 20 million illegals who have no intention of assimilating into our culture, nor honor the hard-won freedoms and traditions of our Founding Fathers, and the documents drawn up to secure them in a rule of law, simply adds to the confusion and division which characterizes our present society as we slip ever faster down Nobel Prize winner, FA Hayek’s Road to Serfdom, presciently written in the 1940s.

“We had better ‘wake up and smell the coffee’ soon, or find ourselves relegated to picking through the grounds.”

You must remember that Barack Obama did not grow up in America. He grew up in a Muslim-dominated country. His father was a Muslim or a Marxist depending on which report. He fooled the American people by attending a Christian church in Chicago, but his Pastor Wright denounced America, in fact, hated and “damned” America.

March 13, 2008; Senator Barack Obama’s pastor said, “Blacks should not sing “God Bless America” but “God damn America.”

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s pastor for 20 years at the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago’s south side, had a long history of what even Obama’s campaign aides conceded was “inflammatory rhetoric,” including the assertion that the United States brought on the 9/11 attacks with its own “terrorism.”

If this journalist was a betting man, I bet that Barack Obama would change America into an Islamic caliphate if he enjoyed the power to “fundamentally change America.” He flooded Detroit and Minneapolis with Muslims. In fact, Detroit is now called the “Jihad hotbed of America.” For sure 300,000 Detroit Muslims marched in support of the Hamas’ slaughter of women and children on October 7, 2023. Those same Muslims support Sharia Law, female genital mutilation and honor killings. None of them support the U.S. Constitution.

Which makes you wonder, when will their first terror cells launch rocket propelled grenades into our electrical substations. You must understand that they didn’t come to America to become Americans. They came to America to make sure we follow Sharia Law. If it takes them 10 years or 100, they are dedicated Jihadists. Do you think I’m kidding? Read this and weep:

“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any faith, but to become dominant. The Qur’an should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.” Omar Ahmed, director of Council on American Islamic Relations.

Now we face Obama 2.0, in the name of dementia-patient Joe Biden who intends to finish the job with his first invitation of 11 million illegal aliens in his first three years in office. You better believe that his inner circle of operatives hates America because they are the ones guiding the senile old man toward saturating our country with incompatible foreigners who never intend on becoming Americans.

“Immigrants devoted to their own cultures and religions are not influenced by the secular politically correct façade that dominates academia, news-media, entertainment, education, religious and political thinking today,” said James Walsh, former Associate General Counsel of the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service. “They claim the right not to assimilate, and the day is coming when the question will be how can the United States regulate the defiantly unassimilated cultures, religions and mores of foreign lands? Such immigrants say their traditions trump the U.S. legal system. Balkanization of the United States has begun.”

If you look into history, we are being Balkanized at the fastest rate of speed of any country in history. Look at Rome…it too several hundred years of a constant flow of Vandals, Franks, Visigoths, and other tribes to change Rome’s language, saturate its military and disenfranchise Roman citizenship. Who let it happen? Corrupt politicians like Caligula and Nero who watched Rome disintegrate.

How effective is illegal alien power and how fast is it growing? One look at Europe will show you a “drastic and fundamental change” with Islamic power growing beyond any chance of stopping it. Europeans have killed their countries with mass immigration out of the Middle East and Africa. All in the name of compassion? Why and how could so many leaders be so stupid? Why are European citizens SO docile? Some brave souls are trying to stop it:

Michael Hansen’s documentary, Killing Europe, was “removed by Amazon from its Prime Video service. Amazon cited ‘quality assurance’ concerns — despite the fact that the documentary had been hosted on the platform since 2017 without issue.” Killing Europe is about the effects of mass migration and Islam in Europe. Amazon has caved to the Sharia police. Additionally, read the painful book, The Strange Death of Europe: Islam, Immigration, Identity by Douglas Murray.

Most Americans don’t know it, but Obama had a Sharia Law “czar” in his cabinet named Majid. A big fat slob of an African man with a single purpose: bring Sharia Law into mainstream America.

Who is footing the bill for Biden’s 11 million illegals, or should we call them “newcomers?” Take a look at Europe’s mess with immigrants from third world countries:

Switzerland: Over 80 Percent of Somali Migrants on Welfare

“According to newly released data, several migrant groups of different national origins in Switzerland have welfare dependency rates well above 50 per cent, with over 80 per cent of Somalis in the country taking state handouts.

“The data was gathered and released by both the Federal Statistical Office and the State Secretariat for Migration and shows that the 4,000 or so Somalis in Switzerland are by far the most prone to being on government benefits with 83.7 per cent relying on state income, 20 Minutes reports.

“While Somalis are by far and wide the largest recipients of welfare, several other nationalities also have rates of over 50 per cent, such as Eritreans at 54.7 per cent and Angolans at 54 per cent.”

Again, we have our own 125,000 Somali immigrants in Minneapolis, with average IQ’s at 68, who remain on welfare, and stole over $2,000,000.00 off U.S. taxpayers in EBT card fraud. As lacking as they are in intelligence, they outsmarted the U.S. government officials by defrauding all of us. Nonetheless, the vast majority of them in Minneapolis and Detroit remain on welfare. It’s a way of life for Muslims. They simply lack the intellectual horsepower to “want” to contribute to American society. Couple that with all Muslims’ intention to change America into an Islamic caliphate, voila, no more America.

Muslims’ agenda in America, Canada and Europe: “Putting up with being offended is essential in a pluralistic society in which people differ on basic truths. If a group will not bear being offended without resorting to violence, that group will rule unopposed while everyone else lives in fear, while other groups curtail their activities to appease the violent group. This results in the violent group being able to tyrannize the others.” ~ Pamela Geller ~

As Biden 2.0 continues on his current path, all of us are at risk whether our tax dollars or our lives—-as these illegal aliens overwhelm and destroy the foundation of our country. Can’t you see it coming? Do you understand if you are a democrat, independent or republican—you and your kids are in the cross hairs of Balkanization of America?

Tell me that we aren’t being invaded by: Weaponized Immigration as a Form of Asymmetrical Warfare Against America.

Sovereign Immunity

By Paul Engel

March, 13, 2024

In the United States, who is sovereign?
Did we replace a sovereign monarch with a sovereign oligarchy?
Do you need government’s permission to sue it?

When can you sue the government? What started out as an erroneous credit report filing has turned into the heart of the question brought before the Supreme Court in the case Department Of Agriculture Rural Development Rural Housing Service V. Kirtz (USDA v. Kirtz). What the court found, and how it got there, points to a serious flaw in the constitutional education of lawyers and judges throughout this nation.

Background

Although not at the heart of our story, this begins with a simple violation of the Constitution.

This case arises from a loan Reginald Kirtz secured from The Rural Housing Service. The Service, a division of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), “issues loans to promote the development of safe and affordable housing in rural communities.”

U.S. Constitution – Amendment X

The Constitution does not authorize the United States to issue loans for any reason. As the Tenth Amendment states:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

This may seem like a trivial thing, but if Congress had not passed legislation to allow agencies to loan money, then Mr. Kirtz would not have had the problems that led to this case. Yes, Mr. Kirtz’s problems began after he paid off the loan, but that is not the heart of this case.

According to Mr. Kirtz, he repaid his loan in full by mid-2018. … Despite this, the USDA repeatedly told TransUnion, a company engaged in the business of preparing consumer credit reports, that his account was past due. … These misrepresentations damaged his credit score and threatened his ability to secure future loans at affordable rates. … In an effort to resolve the problem, Mr. Kirtz alerted TransUnion to the error, and the company, in turn, notified the USDA. But, Mr. Kirtz says, the USDA failed to take “any action to investigate or correct” its records. So he eventually decided to sue the agency under the FCRA.

Yes, any lending firm could have erroneously reported past due a loan that had been paid in full. And any lending agency could fail to take action to resolve the error, which could lead to a lawsuit. In this case, Mr. Kirtz sued under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

According to his complaint, the USDA furnished information to TransUnion. The agency had notice that the information it supplied was false. That false information impaired Mr. Kirtz’s ability to access affordable credit. Yet the agency failed to take any steps to correct its mistake—either willfully (in violation of §1681n) or negligently (in violation of §1681o). By way of remedy, Mr. Kirtz sought money damages consistent with what the FCRA allows.

Mr. Kirtz’s complaint seems simple enough. The lender, the USDA, had been notified that the information it provided to credit reporting service TransUnion was false, and either negligently or willfully refused to correct its mistake. For this violation of the law, Mr. Kirtz sought monetary damages. The response from the USDA is when Mr. Kirtz’s issues went from bad to worse.

In response, the USDA moved to dismiss the complaint. The agency did not dispute that allegations like Mr. Kirtz’s state a viable claim for relief. Instead, it pointed to this Court’s precedents holding that, as sovereign, the federal government enjoys immunity from suits for money damages unless Congress waives that immunity.

Sovereign Immunity – The Free Legal Dictionary

The USDA did not dispute the fact that Mr. Kirtz had a viable claim. They simply claimed “You can’t sue us, we’re the government.” Notice that the USDA did not claim they had immunity based on a constitutional or even statutory argument, but because the court had previously said so.

Sovereign Immunity

What is this “Sovereign Immunity” the USDA was claiming?

Sovereign immunity is a judicial doctrine that prevents the government or its political subdivisions, departments, and agencies from being sued without its consent. The doctrine stems from the ancient English principle that the monarch can do no wrong.

Did you catch that? This whole sovereign immunity comes from the idea that the monarch, the sovereign, can do no wrong. This is exactly what we tried to get away from in 1776. Read the Declaration of Independence and count how many times they complain that the king could do what he wants? There were not consequences for the monarch, because they believed he could do no wrong. This of course was because the king was sovereign.

A chief ruler with supreme power; one possessing sovereignty. (q.v.) It is also applied to a king or other magistrate with limited powers.

Sovereign – The Free Legal Dictionary

What about here in the United States?

In the United States the sovereignty resides in the body of the people.

Sovereign – The Free Legal Dictionary

That means the government is not the sovereign, and therefore does not have sovereign immunity. That hasn’t stop federal courts at all levels from pretending they do. Rather, courts have argued about whether or not Congress had waived said immunity in the Federal Credit Reporting Act.

Yet the lower courts have reached different views on the question whether federal agencies are answerable under the FCRA for their mistakes. Like the Third Circuit, the Seventh and D. C. Circuits have held that the FCRA authorizes suits against government agencies no less than it does private lenders. The Fourth and Ninth Circuits, by contrast, have held that sovereign immunity bars consumer suits against federal agencies. We agreed to hear this case to resolve that conflict.

While the Supreme Court notices that the circuit courts are split, it’s not on the question of sovereign immunity, but whether Congress had waived said immunity under FCRA.

Opinion

The court gave a unanimous opinion, written by Justice Gorsuch.

The Executive Branch may question the wisdom of holding federal agencies accountable for their violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act; certainly the many and resourceful arguments it advances today suggest as much. But Congress’s judgment commands our respect and the law it has adopted speaks clearly: A consumer may sue “any” federal agency for defying the law’s terms. Because it faithfully followed this legislative direction, the judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit is

Affirmed.

U.S. Constitution, Amendment X

While I admire the court for respecting the acts of Congress, I point to a superior law they completely ignore in this opinion. That the United States has limited and enumerated powers, and that among those powers delegated to it, the power of sovereign in not one of them.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Furthermore, that when the justices took office, they were required to swear or affirm that they would support the Constitution of the United States.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution;

U.S. Constitution, Amendment VI, Clause 3

As such, the court should have found for Mr. Kirtz not because Congress said the people could sue under FCRA, but because no federal branch, department, or agency has sovereign immunity.

Conclusion

There was plenty more in the opinion of this case, but in my estimation it’s pure distraction. The federal courts, at all levels, agreed that the United States has sovereign immunity, even though that is not a power delegated to it in the Constitution. There was not a single point in the opinion about sovereign immunity being constitutional, yet they still uphold it. How could that be?

For years I’ve asked those who have attended law school a simple question. “When you were in law school, did you study the Constitution or “constitutional law”. In the 4-5 years I’ve been asking that question, I have had exactly one person tell me they studied the Constitution in law school. The supreme law of the land is not studied in law school? The document that every government official is required to swear or affirm they will support, is not studied in law school? This is the fundamental and abject failure in our legal education system.

I doubt a single judge or justice who has heard this case actually studied the Constitution in law school. That explains why the very men and women who took an oath to support it placed the opinions of judges above the supreme law of the land. Although Mr. Kirtz got the outcome he wanted, which was to be allowed to sue the USDA, this is the reason why this case is actually a further corruption of our judicial system. Think about this for a second: Mr. Kirtz was ALLOWED to petition the government for a redress of grievance, a right protected by the First Amendment. However, Congress can allow federal agencies to violate the law without concern they may be sued, based on this false idea from some court that the government is sovereign, but not the people. Is any of this different than some of the grievances we had against King George?

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

Declaration of Independence

Saddest of all, neither the judges, justices, attorneys, nor parties to this case, seem aware of the fundamental coup d’etat this represents. It’s the destruction of our Constitution and a fundamental alteration of our form of government.

The Hunters Have Now Become The Hunted: Their Cruelties Are Swelling the Ranks of The People Worldwide

By Bradlee Dean

March 13, 2024

“You can only oppress a people for only so long.”

The history of oppressors is that they are going to be allowed to oppress the people for only so long before the oppressed respond.

Anyone and everyone that paid attention to the repeat criminals such as Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates, CEO of CDC Rochelle P. Walensky, etc. already knew what the whole plandemic was all about, a planned crisis (Jeremiah 11:9).

It just so happens that over in New Zealand that the hunters have now become the hunted.

The People’s Voice reported: “Vaccinators in New Zealand Fear for Their Lives As Public Rise Up Against ‘Pandemic Genocide.”

Thousands of nurses in New Zealand say they now fear for their lives as the public begin rising up against the genocide committed against them during the pandemic.

The names and details of over 12,000 vaccinators in New Zealand was recently leaked online. The Te Whatu Ora data breach has left nurses who administered the deadly shots fearing a backlash from an angry public.

One nurse, who did not want her name used, said she was shocked to receive an email from Te Whatu Ora on Friday telling her her name was on the list.

Nzherald.co.nz reports: She was not sure what else to do to feel safer, and so far had asked her landlord to fix her fence.

“I just worry that someone will come to my house and threaten me and my children,” she said.

The email to the vaccinators said their names were found on a document on the US site on January 25.

“To the best of our knowledge, your name was removed from the publicly available file on 29 January,” it said. “In saying this, I also need to acknowledge that the information is still held by one or more parties outside of our control.”

The nurse worried people might track her down years later and wanted Te Whatu Ora to guarantee it would support any nurses with safety help long-term.

She felt let down by the breach. The importance of privacy was drilled into her and her colleagues in training and she had expected the same from Te Whatu Ora, she said.

“I assumed that their standard of confidentiality and privacy would be top-tier, pretty much everything sealed so nothing like this could happen,” she said. “I’m quite frustrated they haven’t upheld their side of keeping us, as nurses, safe in New Zealand during a pandemic.”

Union the Nurses Society represented about 6000 nurses, and its director David Willis said they had heard from a lot of worried people. They were also concerned that they could be approached.

Wills said he had not spoken to anyone who had been threatened or harassed, but the union had emailed advice to all its members on what to do if they were.

“Of course, people are mindful that [the data] is still in the hands of people outside their control and that is concerning and disturbing and hopefully Te Whatu Ora has taken steps to make sure that doesn’t happen again.”

In a statement, Te Whatu Ora chief of people Andrew Slater said any unauthorised release of data was a gross breach of trust and they were very disappointed.

Maybe this is the reason for increased security for those who are to serve the people. The people are coming around that they have been deceived by those who are supposed to protect them (Luke 22:48).

The Toxic Fruit of Reformed Theology, Part 1: Replacement Theology

By Kelleigh Nelson

March 12, 2024

Wherever replacement theology has flourished, the Jews have had to run for cover. —Thomas Ice

When the Ark of the Covenant was being brought up to Jerusalem, King David could be seen “leaping and dancing before the Lord” with “all his might” (2 Samuel 6:14-16). This evoked strong displeasure from his wife, Michal, who was left barren for having despised the joy of the Lord in her husband’s heart. How full the church is today of Michals who despise those who are rejoicing in the nacham (comfort), racham (compassion), and chesed (loyal covenant love) of God toward His people. How spiritually barren the church is where love for Israel is absent. —Paul Wilkinson, author, Israel The Inheritance of God

If God has not spoken in His Word about replacing, fulfilling, retelling, enlarging, redefining, nullifying, reconstituting, universalizing, reinterpreting, incorporating, renewing, or even “Christifying” Israel, then how are the church speak this way! —Andrew Robinson, Israel Betrayed Volume I: The History of Replacement Theology.

There is a preciseness in the exegesis of the above-mentioned books, along with Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum’s approach to teaching the scriptures. It is a preciseness that many decades ago resonated with my soul.

As a youngster, I was raised in a Jewish neighborhood, grew up with Jewish friends, dated Jewish men, and always had an affinity for both Israel and her people. It was no surprise then, that a Jewish man led me to the doctrinal truth of scripture so many decades ago. Yes, Jewish folks can lead gentiles to truth. The Lord works in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform.

Long before that time, I had studied antisemitism in the Church for a number of years, and was appalled at the “teaching of contempt” which resonated from the false doctrine of “Replacement Theology,” especially in the “reformed” protestant churches. The study of this lamentable portion of Christian history, and the departure and deviation of its original foundation is anathema to those who know Biblical truth. As such, we must act against this evil and uphold the original bedrock of faith. The tragic results of anti-Semitic replacement theology is an indictment against the Church.

This series of articles will hopefully explain the core of the rot found in our churches today. We must remember that not all who are congregants of these various denominations understand the false doctrine or are even aware. There can be no blanket condemnation of those who attend these churches, but only a denouncement of the heretical doctrine which has permeated the church and society in a vastly evil and catastrophic way against Israel and the Jewish people.

Replacement Theology

Replacement Theology is a huge subject, one that would take countless historical studies to fully understand. In the first century, the Church was poisoned with rotten fruit that grew into a forest of libel against God’s people, ultimately causing death and destruction throughout history. It is also known as Supersessionism, from the word supersede, and Fulfillment Theology. In simple terms, it is the belief that the Church has replaced Israel and the Jewish people in the New Testament in terms of God’s calling and His promises.

This means that Israel plays no role in current and future world affairs and where the NT mentions “Israel” it refers to the Church. This belief stems from the idea that due to the Jew’s rejection of Jesus Christ as their Messiah, their place in the Promise has been forfeited to the Church.

Clearly stated, “Replacement Theology” is an unbiblical heretical doctrine and has destroyed the true church proper. It is a curse laid upon the cornerstone of truth, that the twelve tribes of Israel are no longer of interest to our Creator. The One True God, our Creator, loves His people Israel and will never forsake His promises to them.

The objective is not to trash Christianity, but to reassess and if possible, remove the false tenets which are damaging to Jews, Christians and the rest of humanity. We have seen that damage throughout history. In our lifetime, the Shoah, and now the worldwide outpouring of anti-Semitism against Israel and her people while they are at war with terrorists who mercilessly slaughtered men, women, children and babies.

This false doctrine is the decay and effect of ecclesiastical hatred and contempt for the Jews and Jewishness within the early church, by those considered Church Fathers, who were responsible for the evil perpetrated by the church throughout the centuries against God’s people, Israel. Ignorance of this subject is extremely detrimental to all Christian life.

The Lord has an Eternal Plan

In a February, 2024 article by Dr. Tim Sigler, entitled “Israel’s Current Conflict and God’s Eternal Plan,” he tells of being asked to speak to all three services at a church regarding what is happening in Israel. The pastor told him that he could not preach on these things adequately. He was right. There is a lack of clear biblical teaching and preaching about the role of Israel in God’s plan, about how to understand current issues in light of Scripture, and about how to navigate biblically the ethical challenges that receive lots of one-sided coverage in the culture at large.

Dr. Sigler spoke to the congregations about why Israel is special to God and God’s choice of Israel to be the recipient of covenant blessings. He listed four verses.

To be blessed by God and be a blessing to all the families of the earth. (Gen. 12:3)
To be the inheritors of the land of promise. (Gen. 28:13)
To have God’s special favor from generation to generation. (Deut. 7:7-9)
To have a line of kings from which an ultimate righteous ruler would come.

(2 Samuel 7:11-16)

Dr. Sigler went on to explain that even in the Christian New Testament (Romans 11:28-32), God’s promises to the Jewish people, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, are beloved of the Lord because of God’s covenantal promises given to the fathers, meaning the patriarchs of Israel. And the Lord’s promises never change.

The pastor of this church is right, few gentile preachers teach in any depth about the Lord’s covenants with His people, Israel.

Early Heresy

Elements of Replacement Theology can be traced as far back as Marcion (A.D. 85 – 160), who carried on a theological crusade to purge the Church of what he perceived to be dangerous Jewish errors and influences. Later, many of these same anti-Judaic sentiments found their way into the thinking (and writings) of the Early Church fathers. Irenaeus (c.180) wrote, “The Jews have rejected the Son of God and cast Him out of the vineyard when they slew Him.” Anyone who has read the New Testament words of Christ knows this is a lie, as Jesus himself said in John 10:18, “No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.”

There is much that has happened to the church throughout history, but the Real Great Schism was brought about by the work of the second century Patristic Fathers who took the Church away from the Synagogue and cleansed it of Jewishness. This is how the Church became different from the Apostolic Church and left the truth of scriptures.

Justin Martyr, in the second century, was one of the first Patristic Fathers who as an intellectual with literary skill was able to pull together the defense of Christian beliefs, refute non-Christian teachings and his numerous anti-Jewish diatribes in a manner that resonated with other elitists within the church. His focus was on Moses’ Law. He called it burdensome, that neither Abraham nor other patriarchs lived under the Law, that it was abrogated with Christ, that Christians should not and do not live under the Law of Moses, but under the New Law which is Christ, that the Jews never really understood Scripture given by Moses and the Prophets, but now is understood by Christians which makes the Church the true Israel. Justin provided the Christians with an argument well packed with hateful theological rational.

In the process of defending Christianity, Justin articulated a set of Christian tenets which no other Christian apologist could outdo later. Every single tenet of Christian anti-Jewish theology of the Middle Ages is found in the two works of Justin (Apologies and the Dialogue with Trypho).

Those who followed suit after Justin (Irenaeus, Origen, Tertullian, John Chrysostom, Augustine, Ambrose, and others) honed and polished the tenets Justin himself had already created. None of them added any new tenet to Justin’s anti-Jewish philosophy; they only elaborated upon them and adapted them to the current conditions of their own world.

The Patristic Fathers and their destruction of the true church and their movement away from the synagogue has caused massive evil. Justin Martyr’s writings reveal not only his hatred for the Jews as a people, but for the Torah.

The Hebrew Bible and America’s Founding Fathers

The political discourse of America’s founding, for one example, is replete with appeals to the Hebrew “republic” as a model for their own political experiment. In an influential 1775 Massachusetts election sermon, Samuel Langdon, the president of Harvard College and later a delegate to New Hampshire’s constitution ratifying convention, opined: “The Jewish government, according to the original constitution which was divinely established, … was a perfect Republic … The civil Polity of Israel is doubtless an excellent general model …; at least some principal laws and orders of it may be copied, to great advantage, in more modern establishments.” Most of what the founders knew about the Hebraic republic they learned from the Bible. The republican model found in the Hebrew Scriptures, however, reassured pious Americans that republicanism was a political system favored by God.

Our once robust society and Godly culture are no longer what our founders envisioned. Our second US President, John Adams said, “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Morality and virtue are the foundation of our republic and necessary for a society to be free.

The believers’ debt to Hebrew Scripture, Jewish exegesis, and divine revelation were evident to all of God’s people. In fact, Jewish-Christian relations, in spite of second and third century Christian elitist assaults upon all things Jewish, continued with good rhythm and solid relationship until the mid-fourth century with the advent of the First Council of Nicaea. At the Council of Nicaea, under Constantine’s oversight, the Church formally disconnected from the Jewish roots of Christian theology and practice by separating the celebration of Easter from the Celebration of Passover.

With time, this theological approach has gained momentum and has been the instigator of many atrocities carried out against the Jews.

The fruits of Replacement Theology have been the foundation of almost two millennia of Jew-hatred known as anti-Semitism. Its doctrine has enabled fallen man’s evil instincts to enjoy unlimited acts of horror, terror and extreme violence towards the Jewish people.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of episodes rooted in historical Jew-hatred have manifested themselves under the guise of this doctrine – for example, the infamous Spanish inquisition when 200,000 Jews were expelled from Spain by the Catholic Church. Tens of thousands were slaughtered, purposely drowned in the sea, or their bodies ripped open after rumors spread that Jews who were fleeing had swallowed their gold and silver items.

Sails of Hope

Sails of Hope by Simon Wiesenthal asks the question, “Was Columbus Jewish?” That would be a shock to those who believe he was Italian while many claim he was Portuguese. However, Wiesenthal spent five years researching this completely factual, radical re-interpretation of the events which led to the discovery of the New World and changed the course of history.

From the back of Simon Wiesenthal’s book comes the following:

“We herewith decree that all the Jews living in Our dominions, without distinction of sex and age, must leave Our royal possessions and seigneuries, together with their sons and daughters and their Jewish servants…and let them not presume to set foot again in the land for the purpose of settlement, or to pass through to some other land, or for any purpose whatsoever.” Royal Edict of Expulsion

By midnight, August 2, 1492, all Jews must leave Spanish soil.

That same night, the three sailing ships which are to carry Christopher Columbus on his voyage of discovery are anchored quietly in Palos harbor, and although they are not scheduled to embark until the following day, Columbus has ordered his crew to be on board by eleven o’clock that night. A Hebrew translator, Luis de Torres, will accompany the expedition, but strangely enough, not a single priest is included.

The auspicious coincidence of these two events, compounded with the intense mystery which has always surrounded the identity of Columbus, has led to a complete re-examination of all previously accepted theories about the true nature of his mission.

Conclusion

So many have asked, “Where is the Church?” As Dr. Sigler well knows, today’s church leaders are bereft of the truth regarding the Lord’s eternal promises to the Jewish people and have long ago left the original doctrinal veracity of the Apostolic age.

In upcoming portions of this series, the more famous Church fathers who expounded on Justin’s Replacement theology, will be discussed, including Tertullian, Chrysostom, Augustin, Origen and Constantine, all of this leading to today’s Christian Palestinianism.

Let’s Shout the Truth for a Change

By Cliff Kincaid

March 12, 2024

‘“THIS IS LIKE A SHOUTING MATCH,” former President Trump said about Biden’s State of the Union speech, “EVERY LINE IS BEING SHOUTED.”

Trump’s Truth Social play-by-play commentary was amusing. But Biden’s angry tone can also be seen as a symptom of dementia. It sometimes happens with people losing their mental faculties. They lash out.

Perhaps the only true Biden statement was that an “illegal” had killed nursing student Laken Riley. Biden has since expressed regret for using the term. He also mispronounced Laken’s name.

But Biden was clearly in command of his faculties when he was caught after the speech in an anti-Semitic outburst on a “hot mic,” saying the Jewish Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, needed a “come to Jesus moment” because of the war against terrorism in Gaza. This was Biden’s effort to pander to the pro-Hamas wing of his party. He is worried about anti-Israel riots at the Democratic National Convention in August.

Clearly, Biden doesn’t want Israel to win the war, in the same way he doesn’t want Ukraine to win its war against Russia. Instead, he wants Israel to reward Hamas with another “Palestinian state” on its border, ready to wage another war on the Jewish state.

Biden, the “Catholic” President, stands with the pope, who just declared his preference for Ukraine to surrender to Russia.

At times, Biden knows what he is doing, telling his fellow Democrats during that hot mic moment not to repeat what he was saying. He knew, or had to know, that the comments would be repeated.

This is an example of Biden’s anti-Semitism. He made the invasion of Israel possible through his financial support of Iran. He is prepared to sacrifice Israel for a few Muslim votes.

Regarding Biden’s frequent coughs, Trump said, “Don’t shake his hand, he’s been coughing into it the entire night!”

We must laugh or cry and sometimes it is better to laugh. However, Biden’s coughing could also be another symptom of his deteriorating physical condition.

In fairness, we also must laugh at those on “our side,” such as Tucker Carlson, whose UFO stories about cows being sucked into flying saucers and leaving mutilations and crop circles in their wake have now been officially debunked and laid to rest by a new and through examination of the UFO phenomena.

We can rest assured that the Anti-Christ will not emerge from a flying disc arriving in Washington, D.C.

Tucker’s “The truth is out there?” segments, as a flying saucer circled overhead, belong in the same category as the popular “conservative” belief that Vladimir Putin is a Christian nationalist battling the New World Order.

In the infamous “Roswell incident,” as noted in the new report, “The alleged ‘alien’ bodies reported by some in the New Mexico desert were test dummies that were carried aloft by U.S. Army Air Force high-altitude balloons for scientific research.”

I admit I was a sucker in my youth, consuming such titles as “God Drives a Flying Saucer” and “Chariots of the Gods.” They were fun to read, like a comic book.

But at a time when the world is experiencing two major wars courtesy of Joe Biden, in Europe and the Middle East, we have to remember that even the National Security Agency (NSA) spent precious time and resources on this scam, producing reports entitled, “UFO and Other Paranormal Information.”

The NSA was apparently monitoring UFOs rather than the Russians, as Putin engineered an invasion in 2014 after Biden approved that limited “incursion” that continues into its third year with hundreds of thousands injured or dead.

On Ukraine, Trump countered: “He didn’t stand up to Putin, he gave Putin Ukraine!”

Trump added, “He said I bowed down to the Russian Leader. He gave them everything, including Ukraine. I took away Nord Stream 2, he gave it to them! He was a Puppet for Putin and Xi, and virtually every other Leader!”

It’s time-consuming to go over all the lies in Biden’s State of the Union address. But one deserves comment — his reference to God when he declared, “Many of you in this chamber and my predecessor are promising to pass a national ban on reproductive freedom.” He added, “My God, what freedom else would you take away?”

He is referring to the “freedom” to “choose” abortion and take away the life of an innocent unborn child.

This comes from Biden, who compared himself to Abraham Lincoln freeing the slaves.

How many times do we see public service commercials about the need to save animals from suffering and cruelty? They air regularly on Fox News and other channels. We love our pets and want to save animals. But don’t expect any graphic public service announcements about the need to save unborn babies.

Speaking of death and dying, during his attacks on his “predecessor,” Biden said, “The pandemic no longer controls our lives. The vaccine that saved us from COVID is now being used to beat cancer. Turning setback into comeback. That’s what America does. That’s what America does.”

The vaccine was developed under his “predecessor,” and Trump on his Truth Social website took justifiable credit for it. “YOU’RE WELCOME, JOE, NINE MONTH APPROVAL TIME VS. 12 YEARS THAT IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN YOU!” he wrote.

Unfortunately, some of Trump’s so-called “supporters,” concerned about the jabs being the Mark of the Beast, attacked Trump for his successful initiative. They are Luddites who fail to realize that vaccines have been improved over time and today use mRNA technology. Vaccine mandates in the military are as American as apple pie and were used by General George Washington during the Revolutionary War to save soldiers from smallpox.

Trump’s Operation Warp Speed, producing anti-China virus vaccines in record time, is the one achievement that China Joe Biden won’t dismantle and in fact wants to exploit for his own political benefit. But Trump’s fair-weather friends won’t admit it, even as the mRNA technology is in fact being used to treat and prevent cancer.

The Chinese and the Russians are envious because the United States leads the world in this new technology.

I’ve written extensively about the life-saving vaccines, and I won’t convince anybody at this point who already believes they were part of a diabolical plot, rather than a defense against such a plot. My new report on “The Killing Fields of COVID in America” goes into detail about the death and suffering.

At this late date in the pandemic, which Biden erroneously declared was over, the Chinese Communists are laughing at us.

The virus is real, not a hoax, and was designed as a bioweapon designed to inflict damage on Trump’s re-election campaign and of course the American people, more than 1.2 million of whom have died.

Although it is still dangerous and life-threatening, the data show a weakening of the virus over time, partially due to the vaccine, which lessened its impact but did not stop transmission.

But the virus coming out of Hollywood is at epidemic proportions, as we saw in the Academy Awards presentation on Sunday night, when the film “Oppenheimer” was given several Oscars. The film whitewashes the communist spying of Manhattan Project scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer and the activities of the communist spy ring working for Russia of which he was a part. Our report on the film exposes the lies.

As someone who was a media critic for decades with Accuracy in Media founder Reed Irvine, I know how difficult it is for people to sort through the omissions, distortions, and lies that bombard you daily. Reed Irvine and I called it “Media Malpractice” in one of our books. I have made it my mission to tell the truth, no matter who is offended by it.

The 2020 Steal: Part of God’s Plan?

By: Devvy

March 11, 2024

Conspiracy theorists who yak on ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, write for cat cage newspaper rags and write on-line continue to this day to deny the biggest, in-your-face stealing of a presidential election in America’s history in November 2020. “Experts” on talk radio continue to vomit up “President Biden” who was installed through massive vote fraud covered up by governors like Brian Kemp (GA) who hates Donald Trump and their SOS, Brad Raffensberger. Both of those slimy, lying “public servants” won their reelection because they sold their souls for power.

New Report Confirms Brad Raffensperger’s Office Committed a Crime in Jan. 2021 as The Gateway Pundit First Reported in Feb. 2023, Mar. 9, 2024 – Bad news for Big Fani Willis.

Yellow journalism rules big newspaper conglomerates either for their fat paychecks or because of blind loyalty to the Democrat/Communist Party USA and for which it stands: The total destruction of these united States of America; nullifying the Bill of Rights through unconstitutional bills signed into “law” upheld by partisan black robes who think they’re gods on the bench.

Thoroughly brainwashed, they are the Unreachables. What those hacks in the prostitute media don’t understand is too many are selected elected (or reelected) because they are willing to sell out our republic. The same ignorance applies to the brain-dead cackling crones on The View who don’t realize that when the real kingpins, the big decision makers Americans have never heard of decide you’re done, you’re done.

Either by assassination (JFK, Robert F. Kennedy, senior,) former governors who suddenly found themselves the target of corruption charges as well as members of Congress, a few judges along the way as well as state legislators. The “fall from grace” has hit some of the biggest names Americans recognize.

Like Donald Trump or hate Donald Trump, imagine how he felt as he watched his election stolen from him. He left the White House with dignity and the kingpins (the true shadow government) have been after him ever since, determined to stop him from winning again while bankrupting him in legal fees.

Anyone who doesn’t believe the shadow government has been planning (besides all the bogus indictments/trials) for probably at least a year how to steal the November 2024 election is either in denial or is in favor of cheating to win. However, all those indictments/trials have backfired on those cockroaches and they know it.

Oh, how empty-headed narcissists like Rachael Maddow all crowed when a NY jury of Trump haters awarded an $83.3 MILLION judgment against Donald Trump in the defamation lawsuit brought by a female named E. Jean Carroll. E. Jean Carroll Trashes Trump, Reveals What She Will Do with Trump’s Money After Jury Awards Her $83.3 Million (VIDEO), Jan. 29, 2024 – “This is the same woman who previously said ‘rape is sexy’ and a ‘fantasy’ – CNN’s Anderson Cooper was so disturbed he cut to a commercial break.” March 8, 2024, Donald Trump secured a $91.6 million dollar bond; his attorneys filed yet another appeal. He had to borrow the money.

What about DNA? Judge rejects Trump offer to provide DNA sample in E. Jean Carroll rape defamation case, Feb. 15, 2023: “Judge Lewis Kaplan said Trump’s offer, which came after years of litigation in E. Jean Carroll’s suit, was too late in the process.”

Oh. Judge Flapdoodle*, er, Kaplan said it was too late in the “process” to provide proof of innocence. Judge Kaplan was nominated by (oh, that’s so rich) Billy Clinton.

Is it ever too late to prove innocence? Man Freed After Serving 38 Years for a Murder and Rape He Didn’t Commit, DNA Proved His Innocence // DNA helps free innocent California man who spent 15 years in prison for murder – Ricky Davis spent 15 years in prison for a crime “he did not commit.” // For 110 Inmates Freed by DNA Tests, True Freedom Remains Elusive:

“It destroyed my family,” says Vincent Moto, unjustly convicted of rape and imprisoned for 10 1/2 years in Pennsylvania. “It cost me over $100,000 to get exonerated. That was my mom and dad’s money to retire. They’re struggling. I’m struggling.” Moto, a 39-year-old father of four, says his kids suffered psychologically and he still has nightmares of prison. He survives on odd jobs, welfare and food stamps. “I have to live with these scars all my life,” he says.

“Richard Danziger is even less fortunate. Wrongly convicted of rape and sentenced to life, he suffered permanent brain damage when his head was bashed in by another inmate. Danziger was released in 2001 after he served 11 years in Texas. Now, at age 31, he lives with his sister, Barbara Oakley. “He basically gets up, watches TV, goes to the park, and that’s the extent of his day,” she says.

“Lesly Jean, a 42-year-old former Marine imprisoned in North Carolina for a rape he did not commit, struggles to rebuild his life. “You know that old saying, ‘When someone knocks you down, you need to get back up’? Well,” he says, “sometimes it’s not that simple to get back up.”

Trump doesn’t deserve the same right to prove his innocence because some NY judge says, sorry, you offered too late?

Before that travesty was the alleged rape of Carroll by Trump. Yet another biased NY jury found him innocent of rape but still awarded Caroll $5 million bux for sexual abuse? Huh? “Sexual abuse is a broad term that could refer to several types of illegal sexual conduct, including sexual assault, sexual exploitation, molestation, and rape.” Trump didn’t rape Carroll according to the jury so just exactly what was he guilty of under sexual abuse conduct? Well, the jury decided Trump didn’t put his Johnson in her vagina.

Remember, we’re talking about a dressing room in a store you and I can’t afford to shop in: Bergdorf Goodman where people are walking all around the area.

Trump allegedly did this to Carroll: “…he shoved his mouth on hers, yanked her tights down, and penetrated her with his hand and then his penis. She described him curving his finger inside her, saying it was “extremely painful” and “a horrible feeling.” Did she scream, yell out to anyone? Apparently not.

If I were the jury forewoman, I would ask my fellow jurors a few questions: Trump allegedly shoved (odd word choice) his mouth on hers. Did lips remain locked the whole time so she couldn’t yell or scream or did Trump use one hand to muzzle her mouth? He yanked down her tights, presumably while holding her captive while she’s “fighting back”. Ladies know it’s difficult to pull down your tights even with two hands. They’re not called tights for nothing. Pulling them down with one hand would be quite a feat while your captive is allegedly trying to fight you off. Did Trump use one hand to pull them down, use which hand to penetrate her and then insert his Johnson? All this going on and no one heard a thing? No one trying on clothes in the other changing rooms? Not a single person.

Well, Judge Flapdoodle weighed in: “Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled in August that the jury verdict showed Carroll’s rape allegation was “substantially true”. This was a civil case where a jury thinks the allegation(s) might be true, but we’ll settle for a lesser charge.

Uh, oh…do we all remember Monica Lewinsky’s little blue dress (story exposed by Matt Drudge) she kept which had Billy Clinton’s semen on it? Do we all remember serial adulterer, Billy, poking his finger at the media saying, “I didn’t have sex with that woman”? Well, Billy, pesky DNA evidence hung your crooked little pene out to dry.

Let’s not forget Billy paid “trailer trash” Paula Jones an $850,000 settlement when she sued him for exposing his “little crooked penis” in front of her at a hotel in 1991. Billy’s law license was suspended in Arkansas; he was impeached by the U.S. House, but never went to a trial in the Senate. I believe (but too long to lay out when and where in this column) Hildebeast saved him from a trial. She saved his presidency.

May we have a drumroll now for Ms. Carroll: Trump Responds to The Gateway Pundit’s Report of E. Jean Carroll’s Jacket Dress — Says Assault Claim Invalid Due to Dress Date Discrepancy, Jan. 22, 2024:

“Posing for New York Magazine in June 2019, Carroll claimed it was the same Donna Karan jacket dress she wore in 1994 when the attack supposedly occurred. E. Jean Carroll wrote her bizarre story in New York Magazine in June 2019. Carroll said she kept the dress in her closet after the alleged assault. She says she never wore it again and that “I have never had sex with anybody ever again.” I could make a comment about that quote but I don’t need a defamation lawsuit. Quoting again from the article above, “But there was one big problem with this woman’s story. The Donna Karan jacket dress was not even made or sold in 1994.”

Please keep in mind Carroll was at one time an actress! Never watched any of them for even one minute: 1975 Saturday Night Live episode, something called Cable Crossing, episode in 1994 and the Best of Phil Harman show in 1998. A jury makes a great audience – especially for salacious ‘testimony’ regarding someone so famous as Donald Trump.

Do I believe any of Carroll’s well-timed decades old accusations? Not for a nano-second and I’m entitled to my opinion under the First Amendment. We are to believe one of the most recognized faces not just in America, but Europe as well, goes into a high-end store, somehow gets a female into a dressing room, assaults, rapes her then walks out as if nothing happened. Of course, Carroll was so traumatized, she said not a word but kept a coat she allegedly wore that day that hadn’t even been made yet. What happened to the tights she allegedly was wearing? DNA wasn’t as advanced in 1994, but it was accurate if there is a large enough sample.

If people believe Carroll, they don’t know much about Donald Trump. He’s known as a germophobe; someone who is afraid or wary of picking up germs from someone else. So, knowing Trump’s desire not to pick up germs from human interaction would he sexually assault any woman he had never seen or met before in a public place, not knowing if that woman has slept with one man or one hundred, has any STD’s or even HIV/AIDS?

Getting back to stealing the November election from Trump (and down ballot GOP votes for U.S. House and Senate). I did not watch career criminal and fake president, Joe Biden, give his handlers State of the Union Address. Haven’t owned a propaganda box (TV) going on eight years. However, I’ve watched a number of video clips. No question in my mind whatever they shot old Joe up with had to contain some sort of methamphetamine or a drug that pumps you up. Americans paying attention have all seen the video of Biden falling, not once, but three times trying to get up the stairs on Air Force One. THAT is the real Joe Biden.

It was obvious to anyone following the 2020 election year the DNC was determined to make someone they knew had dementia as their choice for president. Someone who could be controlled. But over the past three years, sniffer Joe hasn’t been able to control his mouth or make his brain work. The fact he’s now suffering from Altzheimer’s should scare the hell out of every American regardless of political party.

The usual political whores, TV and on-line blabber mouths all cheered Biden’s fantastic speech! his energy! his leadership! See, even at 81, “he’s not there” Joe, has done a great job! Joe Biden is and always has been a habitual liar and he told one whopper after another. It’s old Uncle Joe’s trade mark whose been the butt of bar jokes for decades. As for his “energy”, what we saw was rage, hate, anger and promoting division, not unity for America.

Just my personal opinion but I think all those meds (liquid or pills) to treat first the dementia and then Altzheimer’s have taken a huge toll on him. Add a little extra energy booster and what the world saw that night was disgraceful and frightening.

Biden had surgery for a second brain aneurysm on May 4, 1988. Long term effects from the types he had include memory loss and physical impairment. Tack on three decades of aging, car loads of meds and you have a marionette who loves ice cream. Cognitively his decline has accelerated a lot since 2020. He was a mess then and that’s why it was imperative his handlers keep him in the basement ‘because of COVID’ as much as possible.

Biden spends as little time in the public eye as possible and no doubt in my mind when away from the public eye – besides guzzling down ice cream – he sleeps a lot. In order to get Biden to stand up long enough to vomit up a train load of lies for his State of the Union Address, my money goes to giving him an even stronger dose of whatever he gets for his Altzheimer’s along with some form of “upper”.

There’s a saying: “God works in strange ways. We don’t know his plan.” I’ve thought about the Big Steal a lot. Can’t help it, I just think a lot. While what happened, stealing Trump’s legal win, was and has been horrible for him, his family and our country, what would have happened had he stayed in the WH?

Continue having to fight his own party over the wall at the border and many other issues as well as the socialists and communists in the U.S. Congress and rotten partisan judges. He would have stayed in the face of the media whores, make no mistake about that. But the American people would still be in the dark about what’s really going on and how they’ve been played.

So, what happened after Trump left the WH? FINALLY, tens of millions of pissed off Americans saw for themselves how an election is stolen even though people like me (since 1993) have written about it a thousand times and too many radio shows to count as a guest since 1993 focusing on election fraud. Spoke at conferences and hounded state legislatures and counties to ban electronic voting machines and scanners. Back then we were called sore losers, now it’s election deniers. Well, that’s no longer the case.

Americans have watched the Democrats go after Trump using “lawfare” beyond any rational justification other than to “get Trump”. Even Democrat voters are fed up with what they’ve seen. They’ve also gotten a rude awakening regarding the Biden Crime family. Because of independent media, Americans by huge numbers have become knowledgeable about the shadow government, EVIL organizations like the WEF (World Economic Forum) and just how dirty the communists in DC play. Since trump left the WH, there’s been a great awakening and not just here in America.

Election fraud being at the top of the list for millions here along with the illegal aliens invasion. I want you to please remember: NO ballots can be counted after midnight ON election day for federal offices. We’ve got to get to as many county clerks and county commissioners BEFORE the Nov. election because despite the Supreme Court’s 9-0 decision it’s still going on and it’s how the Democrats cheated Trump in 2020 and many excellent GOP House and Senate challengers. Ballot dumps in the middle of the night. Tens of thousands of them in two states alone. Ballot counters going home until the next day to continue counting. Votes for federal offices counted a week or longer after election day. All in violation of federal law.

If you missed my column on this, please read it: Finally: RNC Files Bombshell Election Lawsuit, Jan. 29, 2024 –“Any other construction would render the statutes inoperable. If “the election” – which is defined in Foster v. Love – as the combined acts of voters and officials – begins before Election Day, then continues after Election Day, there is no real Election Day. The statute would be utterly inefficient, and the plenary authority of Congress over the time to choose electors would be denied. There is no possible construction of the statute which would allow State elections for presidential electors to continue after Election Day.”

“Many thousands of votes were “discovered” days after the November 2020 election and still more in the last few months. Counting of votes in key swing states extended well beyond Election Day when counting of the ballots had to stop at midnight ON Election Day…

“Well, imagine my surprise two days ago when I read this on foxnews.com that magically disappeared from their front page an hour later: RNC files an election integrity lawsuit in Mississippi challenging ballot counting deadlines, Jan. 6, 2024. “The Republican National Committee filed a lawsuit Friday to stop Mississippi ballots received days after Election Day from being counted, arguing a current statute violates federal law. The state’s current deadline allows ballots postmarked on or before Election Day to be counted if received within five business days of the election.

“The RNC, along with the Mississippi Republican Party and the Hinds County Republican Party, are claiming the practice violates the federal Election Day statute, which states that “the Tuesday next after the 1st Monday in November, in every even numbered year, is established as the day for the election.” I’ve been writing about this for almost three years as have a few others.

Judicial Watch Sues Mississippi for Counting Absentee Ballots Received after Election Day, Feb. 5, 2024. In that article: “In 2022, Judicial Watch, on behalf of Congressman Mike Bost and two other registered voters, sued Illinois allowing vote-by-mail ballots (even those without postmarks) to be counted if received up to 14 calendar days after Election Day if the ballots are dated on or before Election Day. The case is now on appeal.” Nearly two years down the road for an appeal to still be sitting there is UNACCEPTABLE.

Popular talk show hosts Clay & Buck spend practically everyday yapping about whether or not Biden will be the nominee or step down at the DNC convention for health reasons. What they should be talking about is stopping another steal and how to prevent it. Get the millions who listen to their show mobilized. The same goes for Sean Hannity. No counting votes for federal offices after midnight ON election DAY and I’m going to make sure it doesn’t happen in this county. What about yours?

The shadow government is backed into a corner with their brain gone fake president. They know no one wants ‘Legs in the Air’ Kamala Ho Harris. They absolutely HATE Donald Trump with a passion. The Democrat/Communist Party USA IS A CRIMINAL SYNDICATE. The Biden family are Kings of Crooks. Since Trump left office, look at all that’s been exposed. I doubt all that’s come out in a little over three years would have if Trump would have remained in office. A lot at stake for the kingpins and their “dark” money dirty players like George Soros will stop at nothing to keep Trump out of the WH.

God is in charge and as painful as it’s been, I believe He decided Americans needed to get kicked in the gut to wake up and see how they’ve been deceived and played. Give US a last chance. There’s no way the colonials outnumbered and out gunned could have won the Revolutionary War and birthed a new nation, America, without God’s intervention. He blessed this nation and over the past 60 years, millions of Americans have spit in his face in too many aways to cover here. Our Father must surely be angry and we are paying the price of an immoral society. A now lawless land where the evil doers – including illegal aliens – are protected and the innocent persecuted and prosecuted by political enemies.

I believe the 2020 election was stolen as a tough lesson for Americans and make no mistake about it: There will be violence when Trump wins. BLM, ANTIFA, the feds (think Jan. 6^th) – sheriffs had better be ready and not just in big metropolitan cities. I hope it won’t happen but as Patrick Henry said,

“Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.

“I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past.”

Elon Musk says Biden flying 320K ‘unvetted’ migrants into the US sets stage ‘for something far worse than 9/11’, March 5, 2024

I leave you with the highest recommendation to watch this documentary. It will stun most and I hope anger millions so they become part of the solution instead of sitting on the side lines doing nothing. It’s powerful and the last ten minutes you’ll see Americans are not only fed up, they’re are standing up. A lot going on out there.

Two Visions, Two Agendas, No Middle Ground

By Lex Greene

March 11, 2024

A war for the future of American freedom, liberty, sovereignty, security, and prosperity is already underway. Just because tanks aren’t rolling in the streets yet, doesn’t mean that our country isn’t already at war within. Anyone the least bit awake, already knows.

There’s been much talk about the unprecedented depth of political divisions in our country for years, and trust me when I tell you, it’s no accident. Not one single American citizen benefits from these deep divisions. However, every corrupt politician and the corrupt anti-American global cabal they work for, benefits from their planned “divide and conquer” operations.

No Middle Ground

While some still asleep banter back and forth about “compromise” and some silly alleged “bipartisanship” that hasn’t existed for decades, the reality is that compromise is not possible when there’s no middle ground upon which to meet and agree.

Just as there’s no middle ground between life and death, there’s no middle ground between the two competing visions and agendas for America. There’s no place where compromise is possible. Adherents to the two competing agendas are dug in, unable to even discuss issues peacefully, with neither side seeking any form of compromise, more interested in cancelling their opponents than listening to them.

This means that one side will have to defeat the other, in order to set the future course for America, and all the marbles hang in the balance. With all the marbles in play, nothing can be left to chance.

Agenda One

America First
Freedom and Liberty for all legal citizens
A basic Right to Life guaranteed in our Declaration of Independence
A government that works for the citizens, not citizens who work for the government
Economic Freedom, free market economics with minimal government intrusions
Limited, lawful, and ethical government within Constitutional authority
Free, Fair, Lawful, and Transparent elections worthy of the people’s confidence
Enforcement of the Bill of Rights for all legal citizens
Secure Borders and Legal Immigration in compliance with our Immigration Laws
Safe cities and neighborhoods
Real Education, not Marxist Indoctrination
A Moral Society capable of self-governance
A lawful and ethical Justice System, free from political corruption
Immediate accountability for anyone who violates their Oath of Office
Consequences for all who break and enter our country illegally

There’s much more, but this should be enough for now.

Agenda Two

A global Marxist “One World” Commune where Americans funds the 3^rd world
No distinction between legal citizens and illegal invaders, equal rights for both
A Right of mothers to Kill whole generations in the womb
A Government that controls all citizens for benefit of the elites in power
Socialism, wherein productive citizens are penalized for benefit of the non-productive
An all-powerful government involved in every facet of citizen’s lives
Unlawful, hidden, fraudulent elections with a tightly controlled outcome
A total disregard for the Bill of Rights and all founding documents
Erased borders and an end to national sovereignty and security
Sanctuary cities where criminals are welcome and a protected class
Global Marxist Indoctrination and a continued dumbing down of America
Every immoral perversion and corruption known to mankind
A weaponized Justice System designed to persecute all political opponents
No accountability for violations of the Oath of Office
More rights and benefits for illegal aliens than any American citizen

Again, this should be enough and, in both cases, everything on these two lists is easily confirmed and verified to be FACT.

Now, Agenda One is the “MAGA” agenda and the MAGA movement has chosen President Trump to represent this agenda from the Oval Office. Agenda Two is today’s Democratic Socialist Party’s agenda and democrats have chosen Barack Obama and Joe Biden to represent their agenda.

The 2024 elections are not about two political figures, or two political parties. It’s all about two very different opposite agendas for America, and as America goes, so goes the entire world.

For the next eight months, we will be flooded with an endless stream of outright lies, half-truths, and globalist propaganda. Mainstream Media, Social Media, Hollywood elites, talk shows, friends, family, education, lecture halls, you name it…we will be bombarded by the worst political garbage slinging we have ever seen in this country.

But remember, truth matters, and the truth is presented above. Every American will vote for either Agenda One or Agenda Two this year. If Agenda One emerges victorious, America may still have a future worth living and passing on to our children and grandchildren.

But if Agenda Two wins, no American citizen will ever know freedom, liberty, security, or prosperity ever again. One of these two competing agendas will emerge victorious. YOU get to decide which one!

How Much More Damage To America Can Joe Biden Do? Answer: Much More!

By Frosty Wooldridge

March 11, 2024

Since the day Joe Biden captured the White House, he has done everything in his power to destroy your American citizenship. He’s done everything in his power to invite terrorists into America. He’s succeeded in aiding and abetting drug cartels to kill an average of 100,000 Americans from ages 15 to 35, annually. He’s invited human sex trafficking from $500,000,000.00 annually to $15 billion annually according to U.S. Senator Britt, according to an interview with Shannon Bream, Fox News, 3/10/24. Biden invited 85,000 unaccompanied children to be dropped off at our border—to be cared for by American taxpayers. He’s invited gang-based shoplifters to steal $100 billion annually from our mercantile stores.

He’s invited 11 million illegal aliens to kill, rape and burglarize our society at a level unprecedented in American history.

To top off the killings by illegals, which are now into the hundreds if not thousands over the years of unsecured borders, he mentioned University of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley’s death at his State of the Union. Only, he mispronounced her name. After rightfully saying that an “illegal” killed her, he later apologized for not calling him “undocumented.” Instead of an illegal alien killer, Biden made him an “undocumented killer.”

In other words, Biden invited the illegal alien killer Jose Ibarra into America, while New York Governor Kathy Hochul invited him into her “Sanctuary State”, and “Sanctuary City” Mayor Eric Adams let him back onto the streets after two felony arrests—-until he traveled to Georgia where he bludgeoned Laken Riley to death as she jogged on campus.

Then, Biden, tripping over his senile-dementia-addled brain, blamed her death on Donald J. Trump and the Republicans. When in fact, with a stroke of his “executive order pen”, he could secure the borders instantly with current laws in place, i.e., Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, Title 42, 287 G, and U.S. Code 8, Section 1324. Which, by the way, were all in place during Trump’s administration, but Biden dropped all those successful measures to encourage the invasion.

Biden would rather see our citizens killed and make excuses for their killers.

How much more damage can he do in the next nine months? Answer: A LOT MORE DAMAGE!

In fact, the long-term damage to our culture, our language, our schools, our law and order, our way of life, our financial systems, our welfare systems, our infrastructure, and our cohesiveness as a society—-will be destroyed beyond our understanding.

Number one: Biden and/or his handlers imported over 11 million illegal aliens who are wreaking havoc on our cities, bankrupting our taxes, destroying our schools, and in the end, we’ll be paying for this invasion for years.

Number two: Biden has imported terrorists who are planning any number of added 9/11’s on a large scale or smaller scales. Any number of us American citizens will die in those attacks.

Number three: Biden has created human trafficking and sex trafficking like no other president in our history. He possesses no regard for our citizens or our communities.

Number four: Biden has enhanced and supported enormous drug-pushing into our communities that has killed 300,000 our kids in the past three years.

Number five: Biden has allowed Mexico to transport those refugees for millions if not billions of dollars into Mexico’s pockets, and consequently, out of our taxpayer pockets. The costs of this invasion will be with us for years if not decades.

Number six: Biden continues to “fundamentally change” the definition American citizenship from “honorable, loyal, patriotic, and committed to our Constitution”…to criminals, rapists, shoplifters, anchor babies, Muslim terrorists, 11 million refugee-homeless, and illiterates. He’s doing it at such speed that we cannot possibly sustain our society as to law and order…let alone honorable citizenship.

Number seven: Biden has caused the deaths, rapes and abuse of thousands of women and children trekking across Central America and Mexico—to arrive in America. You never hear about those stories. You won’t hear any of it from the mainstream media what remains complicit with supporting this invasion.

Number eight: what happens when all these illegals start rioting, burning, looting, killing our police, killing us and terrorizing American citizens? You know it’s coming!

Finally, let all of us understand that Joe Biden suffers from dementia and lacks any understanding of what he’s doing to our country. Whomever in Biden’s cabinet has engineered this invasion, he or she should be tried for treason against the United States. Biden should be impeached.

Biden will go down in history as the most inept, corrupt or totally incompetent president in United States history. Just like that University of Georgia coed Laken Riley, our country faces a deadly future. This invasion will not end well for any of us whether we’re Independents, Democrats or Republicans.

What is the greatest irony of all? Answer: 36 percent of voting public thinks Biden is a fantastic president. Reality check: they must be as brain-dead as that walking cadaver Joe Biden.

It’s Our Turn Now

By Rob Pue

March 10, 2024

Please take a minute and think with me: what is it in this world that you value most highly? Many people might say it’s their husband or wife, their children or grandchildren…their loved ones.

Others might immediately come up with a different answer related to their possessions. In my high school years, I had a friend who had a saying that he used to say often: “He who dies with the most toys wins.” He was referring to his love for snowmobiles, ATVs, motorcycles, cars, boats, trucks, things like that.

Still others have their “most prized possessions,” which might include family heirlooms, handed down from their ancestors. I, myself, am grateful to have some of the tools my grandfather used in his business as an architect and builder, when he emigrated here from Ireland. I also have some of his old hymnals, one of his Bibles, very worn and filled with underlined Scriptures and personal notes. And, I have a clock he used to own, with a plaque on it stating that it was given to him by his co-workers, on the occasion of his wedding, September 21st, 1910. These things are special to me, as are the precious photo albums we have of our children growing up and all the adventures we had as young parents. These are irreplaceable items.

For most people, the most significant (and valuable) property one can own is their home, followed by their car. These are our most costly investments. Our home offers us a roof over our heads, a place that is “ours,” a place to come back to after a long day of work. Our “castle.” Our car allows us to travel and get from place to place safely — whether it be to work and back or to visit loved ones or take a vacation.

Many young people today place great value on their electronics — their cell phones, iPads, laptops and video games. If they were forced to go without them for even a day, I dare say many would become highly anxious and agitated, to say the least.

Someone once asked the question, “what would you do if you woke up tomorrow with only those things left that you thanked God for today?” Indeed, we have much to be thankful for in this nation. Even in the midst of unprecedented tyranny, we still have things pretty good here…for now. But what if everything you owned was suddenly gone? Or worse yet — taken from you, violently?

I grew up on a farm. We didn’t have cattle, but rather, we baled hay. As a child, my summers were spent working around the land, working in the huge garden we had, mowing an expansive lawn, but mostly, baling hay. Nearly every day in the summer, my parents, brothers and I were baling hay. In case you’ve never done it, it’s very hard work.

We filled the hay mow all the way to the highest rafters, and then my Dad would sell the hay to dealers in the winter months. It supplemented his income and kept our family going. I didn’t appreciate it at the time, to say the least, but as a kid, I definitely learned to work hard.

My Dad was also a private pilot and had his own airplane on our property. Usually on Sunday afternoons, if the weather was good, we would take an airplane ride. The pastor of our church was also a pilot and he and his family would usually spend their Sunday afternoons at our house and we’d all fly together. Other private pilots from the area knew of our airstrip and would sometimes surprise us with a visit on a weekday evening (if we weren’t baling hay!) or on one of those weekends.

Speaking of that airstrip, it certainly wasn’t a paved airstrip. It had been carefully flattened and smoothed out and then planted with grass. And it was my responsibility to mow it every week…a mile long and about 50’ wide. I’m thankful I had a riding lawnmower to do it!

One thing you immediately notice when you’re up in an airplane is how small everything looks. Houses become tiny. Entire farms become tiny. Cars and trucks become even tinier. If you can see them, the people look like ants. Now, sometimes I travel by air for my work, and those airports are in larger cities. After going to the big city and encountering the tall buildings, the multi-lane expressways with very heavy traffic, and the vast expanse of the airport itself, we take off in the plane. I always like to look out the window.

What I see are many peoples’ most prized possessions — their homes. They all look so small, so insignificant. Rows and rows of tiny homes, with tiny backyards, all laid out on a grid of streets. And sometimes when I’m in warmer places, those tiny backyards also include luxurious swimming pools. People put a lot of energy, money and work into their homes and yards. They plant flowers and gardens, the wealthy ones maintain their pools (or have someone do it for them). In their garages and driveways are their vehicles. Some very expensive and fancy, some not so much.

You see, from an aerial point of view, everything seems so very small. Like I said, so insignificant. Sometimes we can lose sight of just how insignificant our possessions are, even those things we value most highly. Imagine then, what God must see when He looks down from the heavens upon the people of the earth. How tiny and insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

But we are not “small” or “insignificant” to God. He has a personal interest in all His creation, and especially us, His image-bearers. His Son, Jesus, was persecuted, suffered and died a cruel death on a Roman cross, nails driven through His hands and feet, blood dripping from His head from the crown of thorns His killers placed upon Him. Their cruelty knew no bounds. Even His Father, God, seemed to deny Him that awful day. But He suffered willingly. He died, was buried and rose again — to rescue us from our hopeless, sinful state — IF we will do the most significant thing in our lives, and turn to Him in humble repentance and faith.

No, we’re not small and insignificant to God. We who are His, are His most prized possessions, indeed, His own children. Of course, not everyone is God’s child. There are those He calls “children of the devil.” Until a person seeks Christ, repents, and places his faith and trust in the only Savior of the world, that person is hopelessly lost. For them, this world is the only “heaven” they will ever know. For those who are saved by the mercy and grace of God, this world is the only “hell” we will ever know.

Jesus said, “whoever desires to be the greatest in the kingdom of God must be the servant of all.” He demonstrated that many times in His service to the lost and perishing. Some found their salvation after He served them. Others did not. But at the Last Supper, He formally demonstrated what it means to be a servant, as He took on the role of the lowest of the low, washing the feet of His disciples. And He told us all to do likewise.

There are many in the so-called “Christian” world today who have a very high opinion of themselves. Many pastors rake in huge salaries and enjoy equally huge packages of “benefits.” These are men (and women) who are able to draw large crowds with their charismatic speaking. Yet, the majority of them have no idea what it means to be a servant. Incidentally, the definition of “minister” is “servant.” Look it up. Shepherds are to lay down their lives for their sheep, they’re to protect, guide, serve and lead their sheep. It saddens me that so many do not… and even worse, that they deliberately and knowingly mislead the sheep that have been entrusted to them, with soft words and outright lies, rather than speaking the truth in love, boldly.

It’s been said that most people are more afraid of public speaking than they are of death. Here are so-called “pastors” who are NOT afraid of public speaking, in fact, they’re very good at it. Yet they ARE afraid of the opinions of men, afraid of speaking things that may upset someone, and so they do not speak the most essential truths. The “wokeness” of our pop culture has long since invaded the pulpits of our nation, and our nation now suffers because of it.

Charles Finney warned us nearly two centuries ago: “If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the public press lacks moral discernment, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the Church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the world loses its interest in Christianity, the pulpit is responsible for it. If Satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it. If our politics become so corrupt that the very foundations of our government are ready to fall away, the pulpit is responsible for it.”

Indeed, the pastors of our nation — if truly called by God — have so much power, yet they refuse to use it and instead, leave the sheep wandering, lost and confused. Instead of being salt and light in a dark and dying world, they’ve become sugar and cotton candy, because it’s just so much more popular. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: there was never any Godly man in all of Scripture who was ever well liked and popular among the people, yet that’s what our pastors want most of all today — to be well-liked, popular and non-controversial. In other words, lukewarm.

These pretend ministers are not ministers at all, but rather hirelings. In Ezekiel 34, we read, “Thus says the Lord God to the shepherds: ‘Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks? You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool; you slaughter the fatlings, but you do not feed the flock. The weak you have not strengthened, nor have you healed those who were sick, nor bound up the broken, nor brought back what was driven away, nor sought what was lost; but with force and cruelty you have ruled them. So they were scattered because there was no shepherd; and they became food for all the beasts of the field when they were scattered. My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and on every high hill; yes, My flock was scattered over the whole face of the earth, and no one was seeking or searching for them.’”

And John 10 tells us, “He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hireling and cares nothing for the sheep.”

Folks, we have a crisis in our land, and I believe it would not be so if not for the hirelings that lead most of our churches today. Great deception has fallen on the people of our nation and the world, and the Christian churches remain mostly silent and irrelevant. The world has abandoned God because there are so few courageous preachers willing to speak the whole counsel of God, warn the wicked and snatch the perishing from the flames. Nothing turns my stomach more than a cowardly “pastor.”

It’s because of the lack of spiritual leadership that so many have turned to their possessions, their luxuries, and their toys for comfort. Hear the words of Matthew 6, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Friends, I’m afraid the “professional” Christians, the pastors and religious leaders have become a lost cause now. And thus, the point of this message. It’s our turn now. It’s time for the least of us, it’s time for God’s remnant people, His chosen ones, those who are true humble servants, saved by grace, to step up and take their position as courageous shepherds. God uses the “little people.” He uses the ones who are “insignificant” in this world, to turn the world upside down for His kingdom. It’s time we stop “playing church,” rise up and BE the Church in this world that needs Godly leadership so desperately. Your possessions, regardless of how dear and precious they are to you, will mean nothing at all in eternity. God values your soul. You should too. “Only one life, ’twill soon be past. Only what’s done for Christ will last.”

Spiritual Warfare From the Bible

By Reverend Glynn Adams

March 10, 2024

There is no way one can cover the whole subject of Biblical Spiritual Warfare in one article. I will present some highlights of God’s knowledge of Spiritual Warfare in this article and perhaps a follow up article. There is a spiritual war going on in America and everywhere else on this earth and in the heavenlies!!! YOU are in a spiritual war whether you know it or acknowledge it. Many Christians and non-Christians are being destroyed today because they are not engaged or know of this spiritual war.

God says in Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” The knowledge of the Bible speaks of a spiritual war going on in this earth and the heavenlies whether “you” see it or not!!! This spiritual war the Bible speaks of is a war between God and Satan, Christ and the anti-Christ, good verse evil, life or death, light and darkness, right from wrong, truth and lies, blessed or cursed, bondage or freedom, true prophets and false prophets, our flesh and spirit, and heaven or hell.

This spiritual war is spoken of from Genesis to Revelation. What you don’t know or understand about this spiritual war can harm you, cause you suffering, sickness, and disease, deceive you, bound you, put a curse on you, frustrate you, torment you, and even kill you. Here is just one scripture of sickness that Jesus dealt with while on this earth, “And behold there was a woman who for eighteen years had had a sickness caused by a spirit and she was bent double and could not straighten up at all.” And when Jesus saw her, He called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your sickness.” (Luke 13:11-12)

Now if you will continue reading in Luke 13, to verse 16, you will see this woman was a daughter of Abraham, who Satan had bound for eighteen long years. Paul says in Galatians 3:7, “Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham.” As believers in Jesus Christ, we are sons and daughters of Abraham. This woman was a believer as a daughter of Abraham.

Don’t tell me Satan can’t cause sickness and bondage among those who believe in Jesus Christ. HATH GOD REALLY SAID?!!! Yes, we just read it in the Bible!!! I went through seven long years in a Southern Baptist Bible School, College, and Seminary and I was not taught one word about Satan, demons, sickness, or bondage. What I learned about Spiritual Warfare I learned from others and studying the Word of God. What you don’t know can harm and cause you much pain and torment.

And we have millions of followers who attend churches all over America who are being destroyed by Satan and their pastor does not teach them about Spiritual Warfare because they are ignorant of the Word of God. Satan comes to us in our ignorance and what we don’t know. “My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge.” You had better forsake this idea about all you have to do is attend some church service on Sunday and you will be ok is a deception of none other than Satan and many of his false pastors in our churches today!!!!

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but divinely powerful for the destruction of (demonic) strongholds.” (2 Corinthians 10:3-4) “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:10-13)

Listen to what the Bible says in 1 Peter 5:8-9, “Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But ignore him (that is what most are doing today) NO!!!! BUT RESIST him, firm in your faith……… The way you resist Satan is you stand on the Word of God with power and authority that we have been given and say, “I resist you Satan in the Name of Jesus.” But if you are not firm in your faith, then you are ignorant of Satan and his schemes and you will be overcome by him. Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 2:11, “In order that no advantage be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes,”

There are so many false teachings in the Body of Christ by pastors today. You are being told that Satan can’t bother the believer in Christ, he has been defeated at the cross. Yes, he was but he is still on this earth. We are being told by some you don’t need to read the Bible especially the Old Testament. The Bible from Genesis to Revelation tells the story of God and both testaments give us valuable information about spiritual things of God including sickness and Satan and his schemes.

I know for a fact that we have many false teachers and pastors in the Body of Christ today in America. Many do not know God has a Kingdom and Satan has a Kingdom of Darkness. Many can’t see the flood of evil that Satan is pouring into the world and our nation. The passivity of many in the Body of Christ in America where so many are ignorant of the part God expects them to play in His spiritual warfare against Satan. We are to be resisting Satan and the powers of darkness in our lives and nation.

Because Satan knows his time is running out, he is concentrating all he has on a desperate last-ditch attempt to defeat the purposes of God. Surely this is not the time for God’s soldiers and warriors to withdraw into passivity to put this spiritual reality out of their minds. But that is exactly what is happening in the Body of Christ in this nation. Many are waking up and doing their part but this is an all hands-on- deck moment. Many of you in the Body of Christ and your pastors are asleep and apathetic toward this spiritual war today are in for a rude awakening.

When Jesus was on this earth, His entire ministry on this earth reflected the belief that the world had been seized by a hostile, sinister lord named Satan. Jesus had come to take back what was lost in the Garden with Adam and Eve. There God proclaimed enmity between the serpent and his seed and the seed of the woman. Because of this, the law of strife became the law of life for the human race.

In the fulness of God’s time, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Seed of the woman and the eternal Son of God was born. As the Son of Man, Jesus was a warrior soldier, not merely a civilian passively suffering the attacks and harassment of Satan. He was the faithful one, the original soldier of the cross, pressing forward along the lonely road to victory through the sufferings of death. While on this earth, Jesus healed many who had a sickness caused by demons, He cast out demons, and He taught His disciples to do the same. Jesus also was a warrior against Satan by standing against the Scribes and Pharisees who were teaching the traditions of men making the Word of God of no effect. Our pastors are doing the same today and leading us to a form of godliness. We need to stand against these pastors and their false teachings.

Because of Satan’s hostility, the work of conforming the members of the Body of Christ on this earth into the likeness of the Head’s soldier image is high on the priority list of the Holy Spirit. Because we in America and around the world have not become warriors like our Head, too much of the full effect of the finished work of Christ has been lost in America. Satan’s fiery darts are zeroing in today on the members of the Body of Christ because we have not learned to take our position in the heavenly places with Christ by faith. Many in the Body of Christ face life without taking to themselves the whole armor of God by prayer. As believers we are in Christ and He in us. This means that the aggression against Satan that Jesus showed while He was on this earth must be expressed through us today!!! Did you get that Body of Christ in America? Do you receive it? Not to become a warrior for Christ is disobedience to the LORD Jesus!!!!

Folks, we are being lied to in the Body of Christ today by our pastors and ourselves. We think or we are told that following Christ and going to a church building is to be comfortable, easy, and little responsibility. But that is not what Jesus says in Matthew 10:16-23, that He would send us out as lambs among wolves, we will be reviled and hated and all matter of evil said against us, and will be delivered up to the court,

God is serious about His Word and your obedience to it. Our Lord Jesus and His disciples were warriors who fought the good fight and He expects the same out of you and me. Repent. Demonstrate your intention to submit to God and resist the devil. Peace at any price is not the language of God. Express your place of failure and defeat. Put action to your faith. God says in Matthew 7:24-28, that whoever hears these words of Mine and acts on them is building his house on the rock and when the storms of life come, it will stand. But He who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, he is building his house on sand and when the storms come, it will fall. Do you read the Word and act on it?

Some terrible storms of judgment are coming to America for our disobedience to God, especially in the area of failing to resist this evil that has captured our nation and Satan rules over America now and not God!!! We have put our merciful God to the test and we shall reap His whirlwind in judgment. We have allowed false teachings in the Body of Christ and we have said nothing but tolerate it. We have allowed Christ’s Body to be divided because we think our opinions and interpretations are correct but the very division proves us to be wrong.

Our enemies are united against us and the Body of Christ is divided over doctrines – Baptist doctrine, Pentecostal doctrines, Catholic doctrines and on and on while there is only one Church, one spirit, one Word of God and one God. Someone is going to have to adjust and it will not be God. Over the years, we have voted in deceptive and treasonous men as President and the House and Senate. We have not followed our Constitution or the Word of God since the early 60s and evil has captured our nation and we have become a habitation of demons and the gods of Babylon and Egypt are now here – shame on us!!!!

Before I throw up, let me gather myself from my righteous anger and leave you some knowledge from the Word of God to help you in the days ahead. I leave you with this Scripture in Romans 12:1-2. “I urge you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”

1 John 2:15-17, “Do not love the world, nor the things of the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life if not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away and all of its lusts but the one who does the will of God abides forever.”

Acting on this Scripture in Romans 12 and 1 John will help keep you in the perfect will of God and out of the hands of the enemy who wants to destroy your life. Many followers of Christ read the Word but never act on it and the danger of this is that we unknowingly leave ourselves open, unguarded to the enemy’s schemes and entrapments and to the demonic strongholds of the Satanic world system. If we want to be more than conquerors, reading the Word is not enough. Acting on the Word and applying it, mixing it with faith will change your life and also destroy the enemy’s game plan for your life.

Let me add this comment about Romans 12. “Conformers to this world system of Satan, their lives are controlled by pressures from without. “Transformers” are those who renew their mind. Your mind will remember things stored in it by your old nature so when you read the Word of God, it is the water of God and the Word that washes the things of Satan and this world system out of your old nature and renews the new nature you received from God when you were born again-with the things of God. Then you can think the way God thinks and not the way Satan and your old nature think. And transformers are controlled by power from within.

Sun Tzu, the ancient Chinese philosopher, wrote the classic book, “The Art of War,” nearly twenty-five hundred years ago. This book is used to train our military and others around the world. He said this about the enemy: “If you know your enemy and know yourself, you need not fear a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

This is true of our spiritual warfare with Satan. We must have a healthy recognition and knowledge of our enemy, Satan and his ways combined with a thorough knowledge of the Word of God and who we are in Jesus Christ!!!! May God bless you as you make these decisions for Christ, that you may commit to become a warrior for Christ, be a transformer to renew your mind, and do not be conformed to this world system of Satan. Next week – more on spiritual warfare!!!

Is Critical Theory Now Driving US Foreign Policy?

Dr. Mike Spaulding

March 10, 2024

He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? —Micah 6:8

Most discussions of Critical Theory (CT) and its many permutations are usually met with a blank stare. When I attempt to include any number of philosophical tangents that have been coopted into Critical Theory, a look of bewilderment soon follows. Why is there such widespread unawareness concerning Critical Theory and how this ideology and philosophy is shipwrecking America?

One reason among many that Americans in general, and middle-aged and older Americans specifically, are unfamiliar with Critical Theory is because they were not subjected to it in their education at any level. Young people, however, are quite familiar with it. Today’s Gen Z and Millennials have been immersed in Critical Theory and its many manifestations for most of their lives.

A second reason is this – older Americans have lived long enough to know when they are being played. By played, I mean snookered. Ok, for you younger readers, older Americans know when they are being conned. Critical Theory is a con game. Not only is it a con game but it is seriously and purposely misaligned with the Bible, and in no sense represents Christian Orthodoxy. On this basis Americans must take the time to understand Critical Theory and how it is changing everything in America. I’m sure I have your attention now.

Critical Theory presents a serious problem for all Americans. In our ignorance of what Critical Theory is and what it asserts (a better word would be what it agitates for or foments political insurrection in order to accomplish), we are allowing ourselves to be divided. When division reaches a critical point then manipulation and propaganda may be successfully applied to derive a predetermined outcome. That predetermined outcome always includes the grouping of people into oppressors and oppressed. This is effectively the Hegelian Dialectic Reasoning in action.

A brief explanation of Hegelian Dialectic Reasoning is necessary. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (b. 1770 – d. 1831) was a German philosopher who sought to understand and explain the development of human freedom through conflict and struggle that marked history. Hegel’s The Philosophy of History was his attempt to review and critique history as a whole in order to offer explanations for what transpired. Hegel did not believe that blind chance was responsible for events that comprise history. Instead, Hegel saw events as moving toward a climatic end which he believed was human freedom. Hegel used a three-part process to interpret history. His starting point was a Thesis. The Thesis for Hegel was the current understanding of an event or of a perspective of an event. To the Thesis Hegel applied an Antithesis. This Antithesis represented a new understanding of an event, a new idea advanced as interpretation of an event or of a series of events leading to a historically important event. Finally, Hegel’s Synthesis, the third step in his Dialectic Reasoning process, was the result of an altered or new historical interpretation. The new Synthesis then became the starting Thesis for further examination and inquiry.

This all seems rather innocuous. In some sense it is. Historians and philosophers generally investigate all known resources related to a historical event and allow those resources to shape their interpretation. However, readers will see in Hegel’s process an open door to rewrite history in the sense that anyone capable of doing historical research may arrive at vastly different conclusions concerning the variables that resulted in accepted history. It matters not how thin or questionable the interpretation of the evidence or the evidence itself is. When this happens, ideas and perspectives foreign to the historical record may be applied and a totally different conclusion advanced about history. We see this clearly today. One example among many is the breathtaking speed at which historical monuments are being destroyed, removed, or stored, because a new narrative has arisen about the “history” of key figures. This turn of events that is destroying American history exacerbates most Americans. It seems irrational and illogical, and it is unless you happen to accept a revised history that sees two categories of people – the oppressed and the oppressors. If the oppressed are able to seize power, then wrongs must be righted.

Hegel used his Dialectic Reasoning process to better understand the movement of man across time in his quest for freedom. In other words, it was a tool to clarify what happened in the past in order to better understand today. There was another man born before Hegel’s death that saw in Hegel’s dialectic an opportunity to project the future, or more precisely to create the future; to take from history and rewrite it to comply with his own philosophy of the struggle for human freedom, and what elements of society held man’s progress back. His name was Karl Marx.

Karl Marx (b. 1818 – d. 1883) took Hegel’s Dialectic Reasoning and merged it with his own Dialectic Materialism which is the theoretical foundation of Marxism. Here is one author’s definition.

Dialectic Materialism, in very simple understanding, argues that History is a never-ending class struggle or a struggle over material resources: The “haves” vs. the “have nots.” So, first, Marx applies dialectical reasoning to ensure confirmation of his interpretation of history, but instead of simply using it as an interpretative tool to confirm his own interpretation of history, he goes one step further and uses it as a strategy for the future, a plan to get to a future he desires. And this is the key to the entire argument.[1]

For Marx, the future he desired was free of Christianity and capitalism. Marx believed that capitalism was the great force that held man back from experiencing true freedom and he saw Christianity as its chief proponent. Some people benefited from capitalism but far more suffered because of it according to Marx. Marx’s solution was to abolish capitalism, therefore abolishing the wealthy class who benefitted most. Marx’s use of the Dialectical Reasoning thus produced his Thesis – Capitalism enslaves the masses. Therefore, his Antithesis was that Capitalism must be destroyed in favor of centralization of all means of production. This is another way of suggesting that the State should own all material things, including abolishing all private property. His Synthesis then became that once the capitalists did not control the labor of others, the masses would gain control of their own freedom. Marx provided the philosophical foundation for what has become Critical Theory.

Critical Theory emerged in its infancy from the Frankfurt School, originally a part of the Institute for Social Research at Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany in the 1920s. Since then, Critical Theory has spawned many offspring. Among them are the now familiar critical social theories of “feminist theory, postcolonialism, critical pedagogy, queer theory, and critical race theory among others.”[2]

What readers must understand from this brief overview of Critical Theory is that it is a power dialectic. Said in another way, Critical Theory has become the means by which power can be taken from one group and given to another by deception, force, or by lawfare. Who decides from whom and to whom power is taken and given? That is the role of the new American priesthood. We see it across the US Federal Government and every major corporation. Sometimes these new priests go by the title of Chief Diversity Officer, or Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). An entirely new industry has risen around Critical Theory to ensure its belief system continues to be implemented among generally unsuspecting people. I do not want to go into the depths of this masquerade, other than to say that you need look no further than Critical Theory and its many children to understand the constant barrage of sloganeering such as “white supremacy,” “systemic racism,” “white privilege,” “white male patriarchy,” and multitudinous other diatribes against the perceived oppressors who must be destroyed according to Critical Theory devotees.

Let us now consider the implications of all of this. October 7, 2023, is a day of infamy in Israel. As you know, that was the day that Hamas successfully invaded Israel through the aid of a multination strategy (Iran and Russia were heavily involved). Hundreds of Israeli hostages were taken back to the Gaza Strip and hundreds more were murdered where they stood. The horror and outcry within Israel and across the world were nearly unanimous against such barbaric bloodshed perpetrated by Hamas terrorists. Sadly, and predictably some refused to denounce Hamas and call for their international sanction. In the US House of Representatives, the “Squad” not only refused to denounce Hamas but after quietly strategizing about their response, announced that Israel was to blame for this act of war because of their continued “occupation” of Palestinian land.[3] This is Critical Theory applied.

Students across dozens of college campuses soon followed suite by staging protests on behalf of the allegedly oppressed Palestinian people, blaming Israel for the murderous invasion of Hamas. Congress called several college presidents to testify before a House committee seeking answers to why they didn’t do more to quell Pro-Hamas protests and the Antisemitism these protests incited. Harvard President Claudine Gay (since removed from that post), University of Pennsylvania’s Liz Magill, and MIT’s Sally Kornbluth refused to give any clear responses other than the laughable “we support free speech,” which Americans know is simply not true when it comes to conservative speech, Christian speech, or single, white, heterosexual speech, which brings me to my point.

How can such blatant Antisemitism be allowed to flourish in America? In a time when people are canceled and their livelihoods destroyed by merely using the wrong pronoun, we have elected officials of the US Government defending a terror organization’s invasion of a sovereign nation and their bloody rape, torture, and murder of innocent people. We have college presidents supporting and defending abhorrent acts of violent threats to Jewish people and Israel as a nation. This Orwellian condition did not appear overnight. It has been fomenting for decades and is now out in the open. It has been utilized as rationale by the US Department of State in their recent dealings with both parties of the current war in Gaza, and current US President Joe Biden is showing his support for it in his foreign policy decisions.

You might be thinking, “How can this be?” Where is your evidence of this? My evidence is in the things I’ve already written and in the ever-changing world of geo-political intrigue. A recent article drew my attention to this dynamic relationship between Critical Theory, one of its key components, intersectionality, and US foreign policy. Titled How Intersectional Myths Killed the Black-Jewish Alliance,[4] the article details how a group of one thousand black pastors have joined a movement to pressure President Biden to force a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas. How would a group of American pastors see a connection between their black experience and the terrorist group Hamas? Their connection is found in intersectionality. Briefly, intersectionality teaches that:

…different facets of our identity interact in distinct and complex ways based upon the particular intersection of social categories we occupy, yielding a life and existence that can be generally characterized by either privilege, oppression, or both…The combination of our social categories formulates our identity and establishes our relationship to power, yielding the assertion, “Intersectionality recognizes that power, privilege, disadvantage, and discrimination are functions of interlocking spectrums of identity. Intersectionality attempts to offer insight into the relationship between purported systems of oppression, how they intersect, and the net effect they have on individual lives.[5]

In the article mentioned above and footnoted below, its author asks an important question. “Why so many African-Americans, especially church leaders who have real influence among their congregants as well as the general black community, could believe that the cause of the Palestinians is somehow linked to their own interests and beliefs?”

Tobin answers his own question.

The answer to this puzzle is clear. Intersectional myths in which the Palestinian war to destroy the one Jewish state on the planet is somehow analogous to the struggle for civil rights in the United States are no longer merely a talking point of academic fashion. These toxic ideas have now been embraced by the African-American community. The teaching of critical race theory and the woke catechism of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) divides the world into two immutable groups locked in a never-ending struggle: white oppressors and people of color, who are always the victims. Black pastors have swallowed the neo-Marxist lies that Jews are “white” oppressors and that Palestinian Arabs are victimized people of color—and are sharing that with their congregants.[6]

The truth is always inconvenient to those who want to use lies to force their desires on other people. The many conflicts in the Middle East have never been about race. Israel and most of her neighbors are the same ethnicity. Most Israelis would be classified by Critical Theorists as people of color due to their North African descent. Also, completely ignored is the fact that Gaza hasn’t been occupied since 2005. Who started this current conflict? It certainly wasn’t the revelers at the music festival that suffered the brunt of Hamas’ barbarity, nor the Jewish infants shot in their cribs, nor the Jewish adolescents hot down in the streets of their towns.

Concerning the claim of occupation, the Jewish people ARE THE indigenous people of the land. My friend Tov Rose presents the facts concerning Israel’s place in the Middle East in a recent post on his Substack page.

It’s sickening to see how many natives are siding with the Islamic conquistadors and colonizers of the Middle East who have been ethnically cleansing millions of indigenous people since the 7th century and still persecuting and murdering indigenous people to this day. If this was 1492 you would be siding with the Spanish Conquistadors who raped, hanged, slaughtered, burned our chiefs and leaders at the stake and more atrocities that mirror Hama tactics.

The vast majority of these keyboard activists have never been to Israel and are talking… with ZERO knowledge about what is really happening here except for the spoon fed propaganda they happily gobble up. Get educated and learn the truth.

Not one Palestinian would be dead if Hamas had not slaughtered, raped, beheaded, and burned alive innocent civilians on October 7th.[7]

My question is this – “Who will stand with Israel?” I’m not talking about who will post pictures or memes on social media proclaiming your stand with Israel. I am talking about speaking up for and about Israel, her right to live free from terror attacks, and her right to defend herself unequivocally if attacked. I’m talking about speaking up for Israel when you encounter conversations that scapegoat Israel, when you see posts that call into question Israel’s right to exist because Zionism is evil, or the Rockefellers bankrolled her, or any other number of nonsensical claims that even Christians engage in.

Who can Israel trust today? She sure can’t trust the current US Administration and their fickle policies and clear subterfuge of Israel’s best interests. Israel cannot trust the United Nations either. It has been revealed that several of the Hamas terrorists who took part in the invasion and crimes against Israeli citizens were part of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).[8]

When the entire world aligns itself against Israel, Bible believing Christians know the time is drawing near to the return of Jesus. But that doesn’t mean that we are to sit around and do nothing. Now more than ever, it is time for the true church of Jesus Christ to speak boldly for Israel and against the raging Antisemitism, hatred, and violence being perpetrated and cheered by Israel’s enemies. God is certainly watching us in this hour. Will you be found faithful to stand up for His people Israel?

Implementation of Oregon’s Measure 110’s Failed Policies

By Oregon State Senator, Dennis Linthicum

March 9, 2024

It hasn’t taken long for death, addiction and cultural destruction to hit our streets after the implementation of Measure 110’s failed policies. The writing has been on the wall and everyone has realized that the policies aimed at decriminalizing drugs and defunding police, parole and probation are disastrous ideas.

Fixing the failures of Measure 110’s decriminalization policy has been one of the focal points for this legislative short-session and was the main topic of debate on Friday, as the Senate dealt with HB 4002.

HB 4002 legislation is moving enforcement in the right direction. It is a partial answer to Oregon’s drug addiction problems which have been exploding around the state. The streets of downtown Portland and our mid- and smaller-sized metro-areas have been hardest hit. It has also impacted our rural communities and local school districts across the state.

Many legislators noted that this fix provides a slow road to recovery with Oregon’s Police and Sheriff’s departments facing the toughest challenges as they will be on the front lines dealing with the new regulatory standards.

However, I voted, “No,” because, 1) I knew the bill had the votes to pass, and 2) I wanted to challenge leadership regarding the bill’s deficiencies and inadequacies, and 3) I spoke to missed opportunities which still need to be addressed. The bill’s 75 pages has good intentions and many positive changes, but it is not a panacea.

First, it places enormous faith in behavioral health fixes after the fact.

You might recall the commercial where there is an image of an egg being fried on an iron skillet. The punchline was, “this is your brain – on drugs!” That famous line, is more accurate today than ever before because the narcotics being used today are exponentially more powerful and addictive.

A major portion of the $211 million dollars associated with HB 4002 is focused on providing treatment for opioid use disorders, co-occurring substance use disorders and behavioral and mental health conditions. However, money is needed in age-appropriate venues to move our culture away from its love-affair with drugs. I don’t know why people turn to drugs in the first place, but once they are addicted, behavioral health isn’t going to put Humpty together again.

We must stop this from happening in the first place.

It’s imperative to cultivate robust and enduring family structures to ensure the well-being of every family member. Social-science research underscores that strong marriages significantly contribute to overall familial health and happiness. This is particularly crucial as it diminishes the likelihood of children turning to drugs or narcotics.

I would guess that a considerable portion of our population is missing this important piece of the puzzle. This results in a dependency on government initiatives and programs to make-up for the missing familial, emotional, and financial support. These unrealistic expectations eventually lure legislators toward a path that will lead to increased costs, bigger government bureaucracies, and more broken promises.

Second, I’m skeptical of the lavish promises coming from the party that welcomed the Soros funded scam about the societal value of marijuana (2014 – Measure 91) and the de-criminalization of more highly addictive and powerful drugs, like methamphetamines and other opioids (2020 – Measure 110).

The left’s cultural bullhorn is extremely powerful. It only took a 6-year span to go from legalizing a supposedly less dangerous substance, marijuana, to fully decriminalizing addictive and infinitely more harmful narcotics.

Our meth and opioid problems, particularly with fentanyl, a low-cost and synthetically manufactured opioid, is problematic because they are extremely potent central nervous system (CNS) stimulants. With the decriminalization effort, it was easy for dealers and cartels to push the idea that these are cheap alternatives amongst many recreational drug choices.

For decades, the Democrat party majorities have drawn inspiration from the luminaries of the 1960s counterculture movement, embracing its ethos of radical change, often through the lens of drug exploration. One of the most famous drug-promoting individuals of the mid-60s was Timothy Leary. Leary gained notoriety for his research into the effects of psychedelic substances such as LSD and psilocybin on consciousness and behavior. (2020 – Measure 109 – Oregon voters narrowly approved the adult use of psilocybin, a hallucinogenic fungi.)

Timothy Leary, is the one who coined the phrase “Turn on, tune in, drop out.” This quote was quite a catchy slogan in the day. It encapsulates Leary’s belief in the rejection of mainstream societal norms. Leary advocated for individuals to “turn on” to new experiences, “tune in” to their inner selves and ultimately “drop out” of conventional expectations and structures that he deemed restrictive.

The reason this tragedy has been constantly rapping at the doors of our communities, schools and homes is because of this cultural drive. Our societal momentum is not accidental but has been engineered. The push is, “Turn on” – get high, stay high; “Tune in” – satisfy your inner-self and discover your own truth; ‘Drop out” – abandon the conventional norms of your parents and live to satisfy yourself.

Most of us can see this cultural moment being propelled by Hollywood, the music industry, promotional advertising, and mainstream social media, like Facebook, Google, Tik-Tok, and Instagram. These platforms exert far more pressure on culture with their simple memes and sloganeering.

This is particularly relevant since Oregon now occupies last place across the nation for academic proficiency. A fact that is not lost to the Democrat majority because they purposefully suspended Oregon’s existing essential skills requirement through the 2027-28 school year.

The majority party is planning on gaming the system by harnessing votes through technological advancements, social movements, deteriorating health and economic conditions. Their goal is to ultimately shift values and attitudes by harnessing the political power of their single-party rule.

I stand with our public safety officers, their families and the behavioral health practitioners who daily deal with people that have been so tragically impacted. I will continue to strive for policy changes that will save and improve lives by breaking the cycles of multi-generational government dependency.

Lastly, my vote in opposition to this needed bill was a really a strategic “No,” compared to the fierce opposition that came from the radical left.

Unfortunately for us, many in the ruling party still cling to a fantasy world where everyone can have their own truth, do as they please and can stay “tuned out” forever – all on the taxpayer’s dime.

If we don’t stand for rural Oregon values, no one will…

Organized Theft in the Name of Government

by Tom DeWeese

March 9, 2024

Most Americans today tend to think of private property simply as a home – the place where the family resides, stores their belongings, and finds shelter and safety from the elements. It’s where you live. It’s yours because you pay the mortgage and the taxes. Most people don’t give property ownership much more thought than that.

There was a time when property ownership was considered to be much more. Property, and the ability to own and control it, was life itself. The great economist John Locke, whose writings and ideas had a major influence on our nation’s founders, believed that “life and liberty are secure only so long as the right of property is secure.”

John Locke advocated that if property rights did not exist, then the incentive for an industrious person to develop and improve property would be destroyed; that the industrious person would be deprived of the fruits of his labor; that marauding bands would confiscate by force the goods produced by others; and that mankind would be compelled to remain on a bare-subsistence level of hand to mouth survival because the accumulation of anything of value would invite attack.

In short, human civilization would be reduced to the level of a pack of wolves and eventually cease to exist because a lack of control over your own actions would cause fear and insecurity. Private property ownership, Locke argued, brought stability and wealth to individuals, leading to a prosperous society of man.

>From the very beginning, the United States was guided by the idea of private property ownership. It was written into our governing documents. Property and freedom – one cannot live without the other. James Madison said, “As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.” John Adams argued, “The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence.”

America, be aware, private property is quickly being destroyed across the nation, and note the growing lawlessness beginning to surround you. The fear of climate change has become the excuse for government to grow and dictate how every strip of land will be used.

Have you ever wondered why government now focuses so hard on the environment? That’s because the environment does not recognize political boundaries. The environment crosses rivers, fields, and mountains, all of which cross over national borders, state borders, county borders, city borders, and the boundary lines of your yard! That fact has given massive new power to those forces that seek to change our way of life and system of government. Who can stand in the way with a climate crisis at hand? So goes the argument.

As a result, the pack of wolves is quickly raiding every foot of this nation. Lawlessness controls our society as incentive, ingenuity, and entrepreneurship give way to fear of a government tyranny that drives for control, regardless of clear constitutional rights and the legal system that was designed to protect them.

Step by step, freedom dies, leaving shattered dreams, as tyranny grows.

The Biden cabal issued Executive Order 14008 at the beginning of its hold on America. The order, titled America the Beautiful, established a plan to lock away 30 percent of American land by 2030, under the pretext of protecting the planet. The federal government already has 270 million acres under its control, now under 30×30 it’s driving for another 680 million to be locked away from private use.

Eminent domain land grabs are turning millions of acres of vital farmland over to corporations like Blackrock and Vanguard – to feed their own vision of how human society must function. As more and more farmland disappears under wind turbines and solar panels, which produce next to nothing for our power grid, there’s little room to grow the food we need to survive. As a result, thousands of farmers are forced to just give up.

Other property owners in rural America are facing a new challenge – the elimination of vital dams that have controlled the flow of water, opening new land for productive use. But, says the climate change mantra, those dams aren’t natural, so they are a danger to the environment. They must go. Gone is more private property, a reliable water source, and the individual’s ability to thrive for their own goals.

In our once-vibrant cities, chaos is taking control. Private property ownership is under attack. In the name of Smart Growth your dream home could soon be banned as the space is being taken over by public housing projects.

Small businesses, the very foundation of our free market economy, are under attack. It’s bad enough that small retail businesses must now contend with the growing anarchy of thieves simply rushing in and grabbing any items they choose, as law enforcement is forced to stand by and do nothing. But what about the local restaurant that has always featured your favorite meal? Now, in the name of climate change, the government is moving to ban the stoves on which they cook the meals. And what would they be able to cook now that government is driving to ban beef and dairy? We used to have pesticides to get rid of bugs; now they are destined to be our next dinner!

However, as the federal government continues to rush ahead, state and local governments, designed by our Founders to be the first line of defense against tyranny, are now blindly falling in lockstep with the powermongers.

City councils across the nation are joining non-elected regional councils, which create a one-size-fits-all system of control, ignoring local differences. The regional councils delete the will of the local citizens by piling on federal grants and the federal regulations that come with them. Local elections become meaningless as their city council members surrender to the rule of the regional council and explain there is nothing they can do about it. So why elect them?

Fourteen major American cities are part of a globalist climate NGO known as the “C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group.” The goal of the group is “0” meat and dairy consumption by 2030. Also included in the goals are “0” private vehicles owned by citizens, only “1” short-haul air flight per person every 3 years, and “3” new clothing items per person per year. The group is funded mainly by Democrat billionaire Mike Bloomberg, and nearly 100 cities across the world are members. In the U.S., members include Austin, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New Your City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and Seattle. Now as the plan is exposed, the group denies these are “not policy recommendations,” but rather just “different emission-reduction alternatives and long-term urban visions.” But we’re watching them unfold daily. Own nothing and be happy!

In Belmont County, Ohio, the Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) established the Egypt Valley Wildlife Refuge. It encompasses over 28,000 acres of land that cannot be used for private enterprise or homes. As it was being put in place, the ODNR promised local citizens that tourism, lakes, trails, hunting, fishing, etc., would be developed to assist the local economy. None of those promises were fulfilled. And the ODNR pays no taxes or provides services. As a result, the county is in major financial difficulty. The average tax income loss for the county is $8,932,000 that would have gone to pay for schools, roads, law enforcement and public services. Citizens of the country suffer from a lack of local businesses, food services, and products.

In Pataskala, Ohio, a small rural community of about 17,000, a massive solar panel assembly plant is being built. It will employ over 800 people to assemble solar panels with material from China. Why is this a problem? Well, that’s in the details. You see, the lead company in the project, called Illuminate USA, isn’t really a company. It’s a shell designed to get around any future US regulations that would prevent a foreign company from owning property. 49% of Illuminate USA is owned by LONGI, a partner with Invenergy – a Chinese corporation. It’s all a shill designed to pretend these solar panels are “American Made.” Of course, the mayor and city council of Pataskala see dollar signs and are allowing this plant to move forward, in spite of the fact that a huge number of local citizens oppose the plan, fearing that it will drastically change the entire atmosphere of their rural community. The mayor is calling such citizen opponents “Radicals.”

In Michigan, Governor Gretchen Whitmer has signed HB271 into law as part of her drive to enforce ambitious climate change goals for the state. On the same day, she signed HB5120 to take power over green energy projects from the local community government and give it to the Michigan Public Service Commission. Essentially, these two bills have removed local control over land use. Again, state regulations are being used to eliminate local control.

Many parents are now beginning to understand that the public-school curriculum is little more than propaganda for climate change. Students have really become victims of this sinister plot to change society. As a result, all over the world, young people are being radicalized and encouraged to take drastic action against our entire way of life.

“STOP OIL” is a major nongovernmental organization (NGO) training students to lay on highways and block cars from passing. The goal, of course, is to make driving more difficult, resulting in people abandoning their gas-powered cars.

Even worse, in museums around the world, another NGO called “DECLARE EMERGENCY” is leading attacks on precious art, claiming we spend money worshipping the past rather than focusing on stopping climate change. In the past year, climate change radicals have defaced DaVinci’s “Mona Lisa,” Degas’ “Little Dancer,” and Monet’s “Haystacks.” Hate of our society, free enterprise, and private property are at the root of the demonstrations.

Most recently, two activists of DECLARE EMERGENCY charged into the United States National Archives, where the original copies of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution are on display. They smeared red powder on the glass covering the constitution and declared, “We are determined to foment a rebellion. We all deserve clean air, water, food and a livable climate.”

And finally, there is this situation. In a Washington, D.C. court a major case was heard and the decision could seriously affect anyone who would speak out in opposition to the climate propaganda that now surrounds us. Michael Mann, a climate scientist who is one of the major promoters of the questionable climate change fear tactics, filed suit against two scientists who had openly questioned Mann’s credibility. A jury awarded Mann a million dollars in damages. This is an absolute attack on free speech and the ability for anyone to question scientific findings.

Is it then a surprise that Senator Ted Cruz is probing ongoing efforts to quietly train federal judges on the Left’s climate change agenda? The Environmental Law Institute’s Climate Judiciary Project, funded by left-wing nonprofits, is quietly training judges nationwide on climate change litigation. So, don’t you dare question any of their policies, or it may be jail for you!

History has shown not a single success from top-down government control, whether socialist, communist, or today’s drive for a global Great Reset. All we’ve gained are a legacy of broken promises, poverty, misery, and the inevitable tyranny that follows. Yet, the Siren’s Song continues to draw its desperate believers. Today’s drive to eliminate free enterprise, individuality, and private property will not lead to an environmental paradise; rather, it will result in shattered American dreams.

The Scattered Forces of Freedom and the Monolithic Left

by Peter Falkenberg Brown

March 8, 2024

The forces of freedom are scattered and disorganized. They are attacked across the globe by a foe that seems unstoppable. For more than a hundred years, the Marxist Left has planned and schemed for the downfall of Western civilization and has created armies of devotees that move in lockstep, fueled by the passions of anti-love.

[The full text of this article continues below the video.]

The free world has birthed many excellent and principled leaders, but it has not yet matched the global organization and hegemony of the Left. To preserve freedom now, the anti-totalitarian peoples of the world must come together with the same vigor and conviction that allowed the Allied Forces to win the Second World War.

We did it then, and we can do it again, but our task has become vastly complicated by the divisions within the free nations of the world. The barbarians are no longer at the gates: they are inside the castles in positions of power.

If Adolf Hitler were alive, he would applaud the Hard Left for their success. The rioting and violent members of Antifa and other hard-left organizations are probably unaware that they are fulfilling Hitler’s desire when he said:

“I want to see again in the eyes of youth the gleam of the beast of prey.”[1]

The Left doesn’t want to admit that Hitler was a Leftist, but indeed he was. Writing for The Federalist in a September 11, 2018 article titled “Read A Pile Of Top Nazis Talking About How They Love Leftist Marxism,” Paul Jossey stated:

=== Hitler repeatedly praised Marx privately, stating he had “learned a great deal from Marxism.” The trouble with the Weimar Republic, he said, was that its politicians “had never even read Marx.” He also stated his differences with communists were that they were intellectual types passing out pamphlets, whereas “I have put into practice what these peddlers and pen pushers have timidly begun.”[2]

The youthful—and not so youthful—violent anarchists that roam the landscape belong to many different groups. In spite of the darkness that swirls around them, they all still possess the inner light of beauty that defines true humanity. Tragically, that light often diminishes to a flicker, buried under sentiments of rage, revenge, or simple greed.

Some are broken human beings who commit criminal misdeeds for pleasure and profit.

Others are more dangerous, driven by totalitarian ideologies that justify the hunt as acts done “for the greater good.” They are dressed in tailored suits and designer dresses, in tee shirts and jeans and trendy sneakers, marching together with a confidence bolstered by ignorance about the sacred value of every individual.

They have become almost machine-like in their agreement that the ends justify the means, that eggs need to be broken to make omelets, and that they—the special people—know what is best for all human beings. Some live in board rooms and attend cocktail parties. Others dress in black, and burn and smash and riot.

They are not scattered and disunited. Instead, they are like the Borg in their monolithic acceptance of a worldview that divides humans into valuable people versus those who can be discarded, subsumed, or dominated. (The Borg are the hive-mind, modified humans living in cube ships in the TV show Star Trek: The Next Generation.)

The members of the Hard Left are united, passionate, enthusiastic, driven, and utterly confident that soon—very soon—the world will belong to them.

The status and goals of the forces of the Left are not secret. Their propaganda fills the information space, and they have no shame at all about revealing their megalomaniacal plans.

Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland,[3] reveals his vision of world domination and “the Great Reset” in his writings and speeches.

Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and George Soros are clear about their goals. The hard-left Democrats in the US House, Senate, and White House trumpet their intentions continually, although they sometimes hide critical facts inside bills that are a thousand pages long that no one reads until it’s too late. The universities and media are equally transparent, presenting travesties like The New York Times’ 1619 Project that condemns America as irredeemably racist.

These enemies of freedom are joined by hostile totalitarian countries that have never abandoned their desire to conquer the entire world. Communism expert J. R. Nyquist reports in his May 31, 2022 article “Nuclear vs. Conventional War” that Russia and China are escalating their preparations for war against the United States.[4]

The Great Take Away about the Left is that they are united, organized, and completely focused on their target goals. They put aside their differences until after they win their battles because they seem to understand that with unity comes victory, and with victory comes power. And they really, really love power.

What can counter the concerted attacks of the global Hard Left? If the forces of freedom remain scattered and leaderless, they will be vanquished one by one. The wolves will attack from behind and pick off stragglers until all are overwhelmed. Freedom-loving people, both conservatives and liberals, need to know that many members of the Hard Left have little or no mercy.

Is this hyperbole? Historically speaking, it was only a few moments ago that Pol Pot’s peasant soldiers killed millions by striking the backs of their necks with hoes. A few minutes before that, Lenin and Stalin and Hitler and Mao murdered even more innocent victims. If we rewind through history, almost every page in the book of human experience is tragically marred with the blood of victims of tyranny.

One religious view is that humans whose eyes have “the gleam of the beast of prey” can still be saved by the love of God—eventually. There are many men and women who have left an evil path and have found redemption. Until that happens, goodness must be defended and expanded, and the innocent must be protected. In that regard, America is exceptional.

But since many American students don’t study history, they don’t understand that the last two-hundred and forty-six years of freedom produced by the American experiment was a complete and momentous departure from the norm of historical misery. Their ignorance, manufactured by the Left, is hastening the demise of liberty.

It is time for the freedom-loving peoples of America and the world to regroup and commit to decisive action. It has always been a problem that resentful and malicious malcontents seem to have all the time in the world to foment revolution while everyone else is busy with family matters, work, and sometimes recreation.

But now, it’s as if the Borg have come to Earth. The professional cadres of the Hard Left are almost literally snatching our children from their cribs and teaching them to hate, to be divisive instead of loving, and to be entirely confused about their identities. We cannot wait any longer.

What can we do? We must speak out and object to tyranny in every form. Sheep will be slaughtered, so we cannot be sheep. We must search within and realize that each of us—each individual—has great power to change the world. We must act to defend freedom.

We might think that since someone else is acting, we can stay home. But the power of one person is grand and momentous and often unexpected. So what if there are thousands of others acting already? We might be the one that saves the day.

Desmond Doss, the medic who wouldn’t carry a gun in World War II, saved seventy-five people at Hacksaw Ridge.[5] He could have stayed home, but he didn’t.

Harriet Tubman, the former slave, saved approximately seventy people via the Underground Railroad before the Civil War.[6] She could have stayed home, but she didn’t.

Sophie Scholl, the young German student who worked with the White Rose movement and opposed Hitler, was executed by guillotine but inspired countless freedom fighters.⁷ She could have stayed home, but she didn’t.

Frederick Douglass, the former slave and great African-American leader and orator, could have stayed home, but he did not.

Perhaps only God knows what each of us can accomplish. Some of us may act as individuals, objecting to tyranny at school board meetings. Some of us may join existing freedom-based groups or projects. Others may form new groups or organizations.

One might ask: why form new groups? Aren’t there enough already?

The answer to that is simple. Try counting the organizations founded by the Hard Left. They own the media, the universities, Hollywood, K-12 schools, huge numbers of nonprofits, woke corporations, and the Deep State in governments around the world.

We have a lot of catching up to do. We have a lot of organizing to do, and from our ranks, we need to find and encourage the righteous and the bold to take on the mantle of leadership.

The forces of freedom need many new George Washingtons. Who can unite our scattered forces? Who can rise above the fray and inspire millions? Yet, even if our leaders are imperfect, freedom-loving people need to emulate the Left’s ability to unite in spite of their differences. The Left knows that bold leadership and unity bring victory. Can we learn that in time to save our nation and our world?

It is also vital that we remember and emphasize the differences between the forces of freedom and the totalitarian Left.

Freedom is a state of existence that is unique to humans. Humans are self-aware, and all possess the attributes of freedom. We are free to create, to love, to give to others, to be kind, and to emulate all the goodness of history known as “the virtues.” Billions of people in the world believe that humans have the inalienable right to be free.

Conversely, tyrants hate the idea that God gave all humans freedom. We can prove that totalitarians ignore Godly virtues and instead live for power and personal pleasure because they reject, hamper, and eliminate the sacred freedoms that belong to all individuals.

Totalitarianism is a black hole of selfishness and death.

Even though some tyrants may be driven to oppress others because of their unfortunate and tragic histories, their individual pain is no excuse for evil actions. Still, we should pray that God will heal them, and we should articulate to everyone that finding a resonance with the love that comes from God is indeed the solution to the ills of the world.

While we pray for our unfortunate brothers and sisters who have fallen into pits and have changed for the worse, and while we pray for all the peoples of the world, we must become intensely aware that we are needed.

Freedom needs us to act. Our fellow humans suffering under tyranny need us. Our children and grandchildren and future generations need us—now—to win the battle for freedom.

And, it can safely be said that God needs us too.

Electing a U.S. President

By Paul Engel

March 8, 2024

How a U.S. President gets elected is both simpler and more complicated than most people think it is.
What is this Electoral College and why does it exist?
How can you participate in an election if you don’t know how it works?

Every four years, the United States goes through the ritual of electing a President. I use the term ritual for two reasons. First, most Americans’ understanding of the election process is based on custom or rites rather than the law. Second, most of the customs Americans follow directly contradict the actual process of electing a President of the United States.

Many years ago, I was in Raleigh, NC working on a project with an international team. Every day the whole team would go out for lunch. Since it was a presidential election year, and I was the only American on the team, I was asked about the apparently convoluted process of electing an American President. This was before I had begun studying the Constitution, so I explained the process as best I could based on the customs I had been taught. Today my answer would not only be more coherent, but would include references to the actual laws it was based on.

How it Begins

The first, and probably most fundamental misunderstanding most Americans have about the presidential elections process, is the belief that they vote for President. They do not.

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress:

U.S Constitution, Article II, Section 1, Clause 2

Like primaries, before 1964 and the ratification of the Twenty-Fourth Amendment, the idea of the people voting for President did not exist in the Constitution.

The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.

U.S. Constitution, Amendment XXIV, Section 1

In fact, the Twenty-Fourth Amendment did not say that people voted for President, only that they could not be denied the right to vote in such an election for failing to pay taxes. It’s yet another example of lack of understanding of the Constitution by Congress and the Several States. The reporting of a national popular vote for President is another lie, since there is no such thing. The people do not elect the President, the states do.

Based on Article II, Section 1, the states have established the manner of appointing electors to be based on a popular vote in the state for a political party. The details vary from state to state, but the general process is the same. Each political party puts together a slate of party faithful who pledge to vote for their party’s candidate. When the state puts together their ballot, they list the party candidates. In the past most states noted that you were voting for electors for that candidate, although recently that has changed. In the 2020 elections 37 of the 50 states (74%) lie on the ballots, claiming their citizens are voting for the actual President and Vice-President, even though they aren’t. So even when the ballot tells you the vote is for electors for President, what you’re actually voting for are pre-selected operatives for a specific party.

Presidential Electors

After election day in November, each state determines which slate of electors to appoint. These electors meet in their state on the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December, (3 USC §7).

The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves;

This is the only federal or national election in the United State. While elections for the House and Senate are for federal offices, they are still state elections. Some states require their electors to vote based on the results of their states’ election. However, in some states the penalty for not voting based on the state’s popular vote may not be all that significant, which has led for some to call for the electors to be unfaithful to their pledge in an attempt to win the election.

Actually, the presidential electors cast two ballots, one for President and another for Vice President, as required by the Twelfth Amendment:

they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;

Since most state laws appoint their electors in a “winner take all” manner, all the electors vote unanimously for their party’s candidates. These electors are party apparatchiks, so they simply vote for their party’s ticket, which was established through a combination of Primary Elections and other internal political machinations. Once the electors have done their duty to their political party, the list of a single name for President and another for Vice-President is signed, certified, and sent to the sitting Vice-President in their role as President of the Senate.

Counting the Elector’s Votes

Next comes the counting of the votes of the presidential electors. This has been codified into law by Section 15 of Title 3 of the United States Code. The process starts with the President of the Senate opening the certificates to be counted.

the President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted;

Sounds simple enough. When does this counting happen?

(a) In General.-Congress shall be in session on the sixth day of January succeeding every meeting of the electors. The Senate and House of Representatives shall meet in the Hall of the House of Representatives at the hour of 1 o’clock in the afternoon on that day, and the President of the Senate shall be their presiding officer.

According to the Twelfth Amendment, the only role the President of the Senate has during this session is to open the certificates and then have them counted. Congress confirmed this in section (b) of §15.

(b) Powers of the President of Senate.-

(1) Ministerial in nature.-Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, the role of the President of the Senate while presiding over the joint session shall be limited to performing solely ministerial duties.

(2) Powers explicitly denied.-The President of the Senate shall have no power to solely determine, accept, reject, or otherwise adjudicate or resolve disputes over the proper certificate of ascertainment of appointment of electors, the validity of electors, or the votes of electors.

Sadly, this is where Congress has begun interfering with the election process.

(c) Appointment of Tellers.-At the joint session of the Senate and House of Representatives described in subsection (a), there shall be present two tellers previously appointed on the part of the Senate and two tellers previously appointed on the part of the House of Representatives by the presiding officers of the respective chambers.

Yes, this is a minor point. The Constitution doesn’t say how the votes are to be counted. After all, I guess they would assume a group of intelligent men could figure out how to safely and accurately count the votes. Congress, on the other hands, wanted their input on the process.

If you read the Twelfth Amendment, you see Congress has no role in the presidential election unless none of those voted for an office receives a majority. Here we see Congress has decided for themselves that they will pick the tellers who will count the votes. That’s not the only way Congress has decided to interfere with the election. It starts with a subtle point:

(d) Procedure at Joint Session Generally.-

(1) In general.-The President of the Senate shall-

(A) open the certificates and papers purporting to be certificates of the votes of electors appointed pursuant to a certificate of ascertainment of appointment of electors issued pursuant to section 5, in the alphabetical order of the States, beginning with the letter A; and

(B) upon opening any certificate, hand the certificate and any accompanying papers to the tellers, who shall read the same in the presence and hearing of the two Houses.

What are these purported certificates? The Constitution says nothing about purported certificates. The Twelfth Amendment says the President of the Senate will open the certificates he has received from the states and have them counted. What does the section 5 say?

(a) In General.-

(1) Certification.-Not later than the date that is 6 days before the time fixed for the meeting of the electors, the executive of each State shall issue a certificate of ascertainment of appointment of electors, under and in pursuance of the laws of such State providing for such appointment and ascertainment enacted prior to election day.

3 USC §5

Who the state electors are is none of the United States’ business; it is solely a state matter. I suppose the reasoning behind sending the list of electors to the Archivist of the United States is to allow fake certificates to be identified and not counted. In fact, federal law claims to establish a rather complicated process for the sending of the certificates from the electors to the President of the Senate and others. The problem is, the Constitution does not delegate to Congress the authority to tell states they have to register their electors with the United States or to have their certificates be sent anywhere but to the President of the Senate. That’s not all of Congress’ interference in the election.

(2) Action on certificate.-

(A) In general.-Upon the reading of each certificate or paper, the President of the Senate shall call for objections, if any.

Again, the Constitution does not give Congress any say in counting of the presidential electoral votes; they are there only to observe. So what are the reasons Congress thinks it can object?

(ii) Grounds for objections.-The only grounds for objections shall be as follows:

(I) The electors of the State were not lawfully certified under a certificate of ascertainment of appointment of electors according to section 5(a)(1).

(II) The vote of one or more electors has not been regularly given.

Remember back to January 6th, 2020? There were several states that did not lawfully appoint electors. Not because of some law made up by Congress, but because the manner of appointing them was modified by state courts or the state’s Secretary of State, not the legislature. Those objections though, should have been dealt with at the state level, not the Congress.

Majorities

With the election process dominated, and in many cases controlled, by the two major parties, it seems fairly unlikely that that a candidate would not receive the votes of a majority of the electors, as required by the Twelfth Amendment.

The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed;

However, as dissatisfaction with the two dominant parties grows, this becomes more and more a possibility. There are two things the American people need to be aware of should such a situation happen. First, the President or Vice-President needs to have the votes of a majority of the electors appointed. Should a state fail to legally appoint electors, as happened in 2020, not only should their votes not have been submitted to the President of the Senate, but should not be considered when determining a majority. Second, should no candidate receive a majority, then the decision of who will be President devolves to the House of Representatives and the Vice-President to the Senate.

and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice.

In the case of the House choosing a President, the state delegations vote by ballot. That means each state gets a single vote. Since the Congress is seated before the votes for President are counted, and the partisanship that exists in both houses is so rampant, the choice would ultimately be decided by the majority in each state’s delegation in the House.

As I’ve noted, the process is similar if no candidate for Vice-President receives a majority of votes.

The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-President, shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed, and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list, the Senate shall choose the Vice-President; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice.

U.S. Constitution, Amendment XX, Section 1

Inauguration

Only after the decisions have been made as to who will be the new President and Vice-President, are they legally considered President-elect or Vice-President-elect. These positions have absolutely no power, but we recognize this as a time for them to work on their transition to office at the inauguration.

The terms of the President and the Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January, and the terms of Senators and Representatives at noon on the 3d day of January, of the years in which such terms would have ended if this article had not been ratified; and the terms of their successors shall then begin.

Before their terms begin, the President and Vice-President must take an oath or affirmation of office. The President’s oath is specified in Article II, Section 1, Clause 8 of the Constitution.

Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:—”I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 1, Clause 8

Then, and only then, does the United States have a new President.

Conclusion

If I could go back in time and explain to those visiting teammates how our presidential elections work, I would focus on three points.

The political parties choose their candidates through a combination of primaries, caucuses, and internal negotiations.
The states elect the President based on the advice of their citizens.
The vast majority of the American people are unaware of points 1 and 2.

While many people say “Knowledge is Power”, that is not actually true. Knowledge only has power if it’s used for some action. Now that you have the knowledge and a better understanding of how the United States elects a President, I hope you will use it to exercise your power as a United States citizen. Use this knowledge to push for your state to accurately portray who is being voted for on Election Day. Demand that they follow the Constitution in the appointment of their electors for President. Last, and probably most important, choose wisely who you vote for as presidential electors.

The Eagle is Provoking the Bear

By George Lujack

March 8, 2024

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and since that time the United States, through NATO, has been funding Ukraine’s war against Russia, having given Ukraine a reported 75 billion dollars in foreign aid since the war began. American politicians say that they need to fund the war against Russia to prevent Russian foreign aggression and expansion. Russia maintains that they invaded Ukraine to defend themselves from NATO encroachment towards their Russian border and to protect Russian people living in Ukraine from Ukrainian government persecution.

As prophecy-watching believers living through the end of the age, while keeping an eye on world events, we can know with certainty that the eagle’s wings in Daniel 7:4 and the rider of the white horse in Revelation 6:2 represent the United States of America. Additionally, we can also know that the bear of Daniel 7:5 and the fiery red horse of Revelation 6:4 represent Russia. Russia is prophesied to one day destroy the United States in a sudden attack. This article will review some recent statements made by Russian President Vladimir Putin and 2024 independent American presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and tie them into Scripture prophecy, concerning the eagle (America) and the bear (Russia).

On September 21, 2022, in a nationally televised address, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned America and the Western European nations that Russia possesses superior nuclear capabilities than the NATO nations do and that he would not hesitate to use such weapons to defend Russia, if necessary.

REVELATION 6:4 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION, CONDENSED]:
Another horse, fiery red [RUSSIA], went out. … And there was given to him [PRESIDENT OF RUSSIA] a great sword [NUCLEAR ARSENAL].

In August of 2023, Robert F. Kennedy, 2024 independent American presidential candidate, sat down in an interview with reporter Tucker Carlson and discussed America’s decades-long role in world affairs and Russia’s nuclear capabilities.

REVELATION 6:2 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION]:
And I looked, and behold, a white horse [NATO]. He [AMERICA] who sat on it had a bow [STRONG MILITARY]; and a crown [LADY LIBERTY, LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD, THE LADY OF KINGDOMS – ISAIAH 47:5] was given to him [AMERICA], and he [AMERICA] went out conquering and to conquer [TOPPLING REGIMES AND NATION BUILDING.

DANIEL 7:5 (NKJV) [WITH INTERPRETATION, CONDENSED]:
“And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear [RUSSIA]. … They [ANGELIC MESSENGERS] said thus to it [THE BEAR – RUSSIA]: ‘Arise, devour much flesh!’ [DESTROY THE USA IN JUDGMENT]”

The bear, Russia, will pluck the eagle’s wings, America, from the NATO beast when it suddenly destroys America through nuclear annihilation (Daniel 7:5). The red horse, Russia, will take peace from the earth when it destroys the rider of the white horse, America, with its great sword, nuclear arsenal, and the great tribulation wars follow (Revelation 6:4).

America’s coming destruction is God’s judgment upon America (Revelation 18:8,10,20).

As American believers. it is important to have faith and understand that we do not need to flee to another country to avoid America’s fate. God does not judge the righteous with the wicked and righteous-living believers are not appointed to receiving God’s wrath.

1 THESSALONIANS 5:9 (NKJV):
For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ).

America’s destruction is God’s wrath. Thousands of unrighteous Americans may die to the left and thousands to the right (Psalm 91:4-8), but God will give His angels charge over the righteous American saints and provide the American rapture for them (Psalm 91:3-12; Isaiah 13:1-2, 18:7, Jeremiah 51:5-6,33; Revelation 18:4). Video link: The American Rapture

LUKE 21:36 (NKJV):
“Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

“Days of Rage” Planned for Democratic Convention

By Cliff Kincaid

March 7, 2024

Protests that are sure to turn violent are being planned by communist factions in the Democratic Party and worldwide to replace Joe Biden at the top of the ticket. Vice President Kamala Harris’s demand for a “ceasefire” between Israel and Hamas was clearly designed to save Biden from the gathering storm. In the speech, she condemned Israel for allowing a “humanitarian catastrophe” in Gaza.

At the same time, Biden ordered the U.S. military to air-drop 38,000 meals to people on the ground in Hamas-controlled Gaza who had brought the terrorist group to power.

Over the weekend, a Times Square pro-Hamas rally became a nightmare situation when protesters blocked a police Bomb Squad from responding to a potential bomb threat. The grenade was later determined to be inactive and inert.

These demonstrations, as we have documented in a report with photographs, are largely organized by communist groups in America who pledge their allegiance to China and Russia.

Biden’s initial support for Israel is coming back to haunt him, prompting talk even in left-wing circles of “Days of Rage” protests at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August that will seek his replacement by anti-Israel “progressives” aligned with Moscow and Havana.

The violent “Days of Rage” protests in 1969 were the culmination of months of street actions and riots to protest support for anti-communist South Vietnam in its war with North Vietnam, backed by Russia and China. Under this kind of pressure, including riots during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1968, incumbent Democratic President LBJ withdrew from the race, the Democratic Party splintered, and LBJ was replaced by Hubert Humphrey, a Senator who lost to Republican Richard Nixon in the general election.

Senator Robert Kennedy had entered the race to challenge LBJ but was fatally shot for supporting Israel by a Palestinian Marxist, Sirhan Sirhan.

According to a congressional report on “The Weather Underground,” which grew out of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) Vietnam War protests, the “Days of Rage” followed visits by members of the terrorist group to Communist Cuba under the name the “Venceremos Brigade” for terrorist training.

In this present context, important meetings have been taking place in Havana, Cuba, and Moscow that are laying the groundwork for Biden’s ouster and more street violence.

Moscow’s Role

So-called Palestinian “resistance” and Islamic movements just met in Moscow, preceded by a visit to Havana by two top “progressive” Democrats, Reps. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) Jayapal is the chairwoman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and Omar is the deputy chairwoman.

But don’t look for the FBI or the CIA to be on guard. The new book Big Intel, discusses communist infiltration of the “Intelligence Community,” through such penetrations as Russian agent Robert Hanssen (who did counterintelligence for the FBI) and Cuban agent Ana Belen Montes (a Defense Intelligence Agency analyst), said to be a favorite of former Director of National Intelligence of the United States James Clapper.

The “leftist national security state,” as the book describes it, is busy prosecuting former President Trump and his supporters.

FBI Director Christopher Wray delivered remarks at the Intelligence and National Security Alliance Leadership Breakfast in McLean, Virginia, on February 29, 2024. He said, “The U.S. has confronted foreign malign influence threats in the past, but this election cycle, the U.S. will face more adversaries, moving at a faster pace, and enabled by new technology.” One such adversary is the FBI itself.

In his new book, Big Intel, J. Michael Waller comments, “The great institutions, designed to protect us against the threat of Soviet communism, in the end, absorbed and re-weaponized the most subversive Soviet plot ever launched.”

That’s a reference to the Russia-gate hoax against Trump, organized by the FBI and approved by President Obama. But that’s not all. Waller also documents how the CIA failed to identify a Chinese Communist military lab as the source of the pandemic that has so far killed more than 1.2 million Americans.

In the same way, the Intelligence Community has not monitored communist groups on American soil — and in the universities — the source of much of the hatred for Israel.

Pro-War against the U.S. and Israel

Demonstrating their allegiance to communism and the need to eliminate anti-communist liberals, former SDS members and Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn endorsed a “Prairie Fire” Manifesto that was dedicated in part to RFK killer Sirhan Sirhan.

Ayers and Dohrn, however, were not “anti-war activists.” They were international terrorists who favored a communist victory in Vietnam with connections to Hanoi, Havana, and Moscow.

Writing about his experiences in the Weather Underground, farmer FBI informant Larry Grathwohl said, “I remember one meeting when our Weatherman ‘collective’ brought up the subject of the Kennedy assassinations. At least 20 to 25 people were present and Bill Ayers was one of them. I heard Bill state that the murders of both John F. Kennedy and Robert F Kennedy were a good thing because liberals compromise the conflict between U.S. imperialism and the socialist revolution. Liberals prevent the contradictions from becoming obvious and thus prevent a revolution. Therefore, the assassinations of the Kennedys were to be welcomed as a necessary advance on the road to communist world revolution.”

These assassinations marked a key turning point in the direction of the national Democratic Party, which then abandoned anti-communism and became a “progressive” movement. The direction of the Democratic Party as an adjunct of the international communist movement was solidified under President Barack Hussein Obama, an agent of influence for Russia and China.

As new “Days of Rage” protests are apparently being planned for the 2024 Democratic National Convention, also in Chicago, speculation is mounting that Biden will be replaced because he, like RFK, is perceived as too “pro-Israel.”

The “Step Aside Joe” Movement, launched by the far-left group Roots Action, is demanding that Biden be replaced in part because of his lukewarm support for Israel’s response to the terrorism of October 7. Such a movement has a global context.

It is significant that the two leading “progressive” Democrats were spotted in Havana between February 17 and 21, while Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was there.

The “Hands Off Rafah Global Day of Protest” on March 2, designed to save the lives of terrorists in that part of Gaza, is a taste of things to come.

“Actions took place in Japan, Malaysia, Cuba, Venezuela, Tunisia and many other nations around the world,” reports the communist group ANSWER. “In Havana and Caracas, top leaders of the government attended in a show of solidarity with the Palestinian people’s longstanding fight for liberation.”

Democratic Party fundraisers and party functionaries like Jill Biden and Hillary Clinton are being disrupted by protesters chanting “Joe Biden, you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide!”

In Canada, in the name of “Blockading the Genocide Machine,” pro-Hamas demonstrators are blocking access to major weapons company facilities in such cities as Toronto, Peterborough, Calgary, Québec City and Vancouver.

The Anti-Israel Coalition

Hamas, which started the war and wants to destroy Israel, still has Israeli hostages and refuses to surrender.

Meanwhile, Russian foreign minister Lavrov left Cuba and returned to Moscow to supervise a meeting of “all major groups in Palestine such as the constituents of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), including Fatah and Palestinian People’s Party, and non-constituents such as Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad,” according to a communist news outlet. Another participant was the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

The meeting is another reminder that Soviet support for international terrorism continues through the present Moscow regime, headed by former KGB colonel and current Russian president Vladimir Putin.

In Soviet dissident hero Vladimir Bukovsky’s last book, Judgment in Moscow, he commented, “If two cruise missiles were to be launched at the Lubyanka, the level of terrorism worldwide would drop by approximately 80 percent.” The Lubyanka is the name for the headquarters of the KGB and its successor, the FSB.

Aiding the Enemy

News about the secret meeting in Havana was leaked to the Miami Herald, which reported that a delegation of the Congressional Progressive Caucus had traveled to Cuba “in a trip that has not previously been disclosed by the legislators nor reported in Cuban state media.” The paper added, “The group of about a dozen people was led by Democratic U.S. Reps. Pramila Jayapal of the state of Washington and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. It included a congressional staffer from the office of California Rep. Barbara Lee’s office, sources with knowledge of the trip told the Miami Herald.”

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) is a former aide to Rep. Ron Dellums who was implicated in captured documents as a collaborator of the communist regime overthrown by the U.S. when President Reagan ordered U.S. forces into Grenada. Lee, a top officer of the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism (CCDS), a spin-off from the Communist Party, is now running for the Senate.

Michael Waller’s book, Big Intel, labels “Comrade Barbara” a “communist operative” who participated in KGB front activities.

The Miami Herald added, “Cuban official media traditionally highlight American lawmakers going to the island, usually framing their visit as a gesture of ‘solidarity’ with the Cuban people or support for ending the U.S. embargo. This time, state media was mum. Cuba’s Foreign Ministry did not disclose the trip.”

The headline was “What were members of the U.S. Congressional Progressive Caucus doing in Havana?”

Replacing Biden and Stopping Trump

The answer, quite clearly, is to formulate a plan of action to replace Biden, while at the same time keeping Trump out of the White House.

Jayapal has achieved notoriety for supporting the “vote uncommitted” effort in various states in the Democratic presidential primaries to protest Biden’s policy.

In desperation, the “Our Revolution” group, associated with Senator Bernie Sanders, says “We must send a clear message directly to the Biden campaign: Change course NOW on Gaza or else risk losing Michigan to Trump in November.

In the Michigan primary, more than 100,000 Michigan Democratic primary voters cast ballots for “uncommitted” in the race. In the Washington State Democratic Primary on March 12, the 50,000 members of the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 3000 in Washington State are being advised by their union to vote “uncommitted.”

The Cuban Connection

In another ominous revelation, it was learned that Jayapal and Omar met with Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel, who had traveled to Moscow in November 2022 to meet personally with Putin. At that time, Putin and Diaz-Canel “unveiled a monument in a north Moscow square on Tuesday to Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, pledging to deepen their friendship in the face of U.S. sanctions against both countries,” Reuters reported.

The 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, caused by Russian placement of nuclear missile launching sites in Cuba with Castro’s permission, was countered by President John F. Kennedy with a naval and air quarantine of the island. Later, Kennedy was murdered by a Marxist assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, a former Marine and Marksman who had defected to the Soviet Union and returned to join the “Fair Play for Cuba Committee” and murder JFK.

In the meeting with Diaz-Canel, Putin had referred to “Comrade Fidel Castro,” adding that, “I really remember our personal meetings very well, even the details. He was an impressive man.”

At the unveiling of the Castro statue in Moscow, Putin went further, saying, “Fidel Castro dedicated his life to the selfless struggle to advance the ideas of goodness, peace and justice, for the freedom of oppressed peoples, for a decent life for ordinary people and social equality.”

For his part, Diaz-Canel said during the meeting with Putin that both Russia and Cuba have “a common enemy, a common source which is the Yankee empire, which manipulates a large part of humankind.”

As these events play out, the big question is Biden’s replacement. And if he doesn’t step down, what then? The answer will be made in Moscow and Havana.

Weaponized Immigration and the Cult of Diversity, Inclusion and Equity

By Frosty Wooldridge

March 7, 2024

Do you understand that over 11 million illegal aliens under Biden in the past 38 months constitute a “Weaponization” against the American people? Do you see them organizing in our big cities? Do you realize that you’re paying for them to create terror in your city and/or our country?

Do you realize that it’s so bad that even “Sanctuary State” Governor Kathy Hochul just added 1,000 police to NYC’s subway system because it’s become so deadly to subway riders? In fact, New Yorkers fear riding to work and back. Records show 2,000,000 less riders, daily. Even Mayor Adams has reinstituted random bag and backpack checks. Gosh, what a “racist” procedure! Except Mayor Eric Adams is black.

Even Laken Riley’s parents are going to sue the State of Georgia for housing illegal aliens, the ones that kill children. At some point, they need to sue Joe Biden for all the killers he’s invited into America, especially the drug pushers who kill 100,000 annually.

Even the “Defund the Police” residents of Portland, San Francisco, Chicago and LA backtracked on their own stupidities. They’re tired of their kids having to trip over drug users injecting themselves in the streets on the way to school. Not to mention, those kids must step around piles of human excrement!

Then You’ve Got DIE: Diversity, Inclusion, Equity

My friend from North Carolina Terry Payne said, “Whenever I hear these cult words — Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), — I start to retch. In their original context, they are splendid words. Unfortunately, the Democrat Party has distorted their interpretation and context to signify the opposite of core definitions.

“Democrat Party leaders employ DEI to create division, hatred, and exclusion. Party activists claim DEI originated from the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and “affirmative action” legislation. Nothing could be further from the truth. DEI ideology is rooted in the communist philosophies of Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Saul Alinsky and Frank Marshall Davis — Barack Obama’s mentor.”

We need to educate ourselves as to the final intention of anyone and everyone who wants to institute Critical Race Theory and D.I.E. Both those ugly programs expect to undercut and destroy the United States of America. How does that happen?

Payne said, “The most successful accomplishment of the Democrats is the “balkanization” of society. Their perverted version of diversity, — under the stewardship of Obama — fomented division and hatred after promising the opposite. Instead of unifying Americans, the Obama presidency morphed into the Marxist strategy of “divide and conquer.” Obama’s destructive vision flourishes under the Biden-Harris administration.

“DEI ideology has replaced the core liberal values of merit, fairness, and equality in academia, professional organizations, media, government agencies (including the DOJ and FBI), and Big Tech. DEI bureaucracies and groups have mushroomed operating behind the scenes with ambiguous definitions, goals, and policies.”

In other words, I’m not the lone wolf journalist, along with Devvy Kidd, who understands the liberals’ agenda. It’s galloping toward us if we don’t stop it. We need to write and speak out against it. We must take a stand.

Payne continued, “The Left’s version of diversity means giving special privileges to certain protected classes of people — people of color, LGBTQ, women — so they can acquire socio-economic control over the majority, which currently is white. This is “tyranny of the minority.” Politically, DEI translates to acquiring votes. It’s a part of the Democratic Party’s campaign strategy to divide Americans based on skin color and collecting the votes of all non-white populations.”

If we go down that CRT and D.I.E. path, and let it take root, it’s going to grow into a monster that cannot be stopped. If you brainwash enough kids’ minds, you’re going to suffer millions of them hating their own country and hating anyone of a different color. That’s how you kill a country!

“Ironically, where you have commitment to diversity, there is no thought diversity. People who demand attention to diversity are against viewpoint diversity – meaning no First Amendment,” Payne said. “Diversity translates to: “it’s great to act different if you think the way I do.”

Yes, free speech can be messy, but it is the foundation of our entire country.

“There are inherent problems with the idea of DEI, or civil rights Marxism,” said Payne. “First, it’s “systemic racism” because of the fundamental discrimination in its concept that all aspects of success are due to exploitation and discrimination by the white majority. When DEI is applied to groups, underperforming groups are to be considered “victimized,” whether they are victims or not. Those who are members of overachieving groups, whether they are victimized or not, are to be treated as villains. All white men are by definition “supremacist villains.”

“Second, interrelated to the first, DEI produces mediocrity. Since success is treated as immoral and failure as righteous — because victimhood is fortitude — then mediocrity is that transition “sludge” where you avoid being labeled as an underperformer and also escape ridicule for being an achiever.”

Just like all those leaders in big cities are crying out against open borders today…because they got swamped with reality, we need to stop the D.I.E. and CRT agenda before they grow deep roots.

Payne continued, “In dysfunctional academia, racially diverse mediocrity is preferable to nonracial meritocratic achievement. Look, for example, at Harvard where President Claudine Gay, despite being a serial plagiarist and evasive on antisemitism, finally resigned on January 2, 2024.”

We need to return to what Reverend Martin Luther King said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

Our Constitution gives everyone the right to explore, learn, grow and “become” in America. We don’t need CRT or DIE. We need excellence based on academic distinction, work performance and honest contributions to our society.

Along with 11 million illegal alien border jumpers, CRT and DIE are pure unadulterated horsesh*t. Biden’s got to go into an assisted living home before November, 2024.

Whatever Happened to Justice?

By Coach Dave Daubenmire

March 7, 2024

To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. Prov.21:3.

“For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and wrongdoing.” Isaiah 61:8

Noah Webster defined justice as “Impartiality; equal distribution of right in expressing opinions; fair representation of facts respecting merit or demerit. In criticisms, narrations, history, or discourse, it is a duty to do justice to every man, whether friend or foe.”

It is not the job of the “Justice Department” to hunt down criminals and put them behind bars. The job of the “Justice Department” is to fairly, and without bias, give every man what is his due.

But there is no EQUAL justice in America today. Sadly, our JUST-US system is being used to “get even” with political opponents. “Justice” has come to mean “punishment.” It has created a system called LAWfare…a tactic of WARfare. The courts are now being used as weapons of war against those who hold different political views. It is the exact opposite of what the word JUSTICE was intended to do.

The J6ers are victims of an out-of-control government hell-bent on punishing those who oppose their tyranny. Government, like justice, is supposed to be blind. How does one ever get a fair trial when the “Just-us System” is designed simply to punish the guilty? Has it become AG Merrick Garland’s personal weapon to punish those who blocked his appointment to the Supreme Court?

To my knowledge, NOT ONE J6er has been found not guilty in any DC court. NOT ONE. What are the odds of that? The JUST-US system is working perfectly.

LAWfair is wicked. Even IF found NOT-GUILTY by a Government court the innocent victim has probably spent his life savings proving his innocence. So, simply being “charged” with a crime on J6 will destroy one’s life. Many of the accused have spent nearly THREE-YEARS in Federal lock-up without bail…and without a trial…a clear violation of their rights. Many have been forced to “plea” bargain to avoid harsher punishment. Is there anything more demeaning than pleading guilty to something that you didn’t do in older to lessen the sentence?

The Government “persecutors” know that perfectly well. That is why they are still arresting “insurrectionists” 3 years after the fact. Their goal is PUNISHMENT…not justice. It is a sad time in America. JUST-US baby. Their message is clear. Do not mess with the Government.

I was there on J6…along with at least a million of my friends…who desired nothing more than to exercise our God-given “right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Many of those in attendance that day had NEVER been to DC, but they knew they had to go because it was only in DC that they could personally face their representatives and petition for a redress.

No one went to “overthrow” the Government. They went because they suspected that the Government had ALREADY been overthrown during the November election. They went to petition for a grievance they believed they had suffered.

Mr. Webster determined that grievance was “That which causes grief or uneasiness; that which burdens, oppresses or injures, implying a sense of wrong done, or a continued injury, and therefore applied only to the effects of human conduct; never to providential evils. The oppressed subject has the right to petition for a redress of grievances.”

Petition means “To make a request to; to ask from; to solicit; particularly, to make supplication to a superior for some favor or right; as, to petition the legislature; to petition a court of chancery.”

But a nefarious plan was at work that day. The “Government” had infiltrated the MAGA crowd. They dressed as MAGA supporters. They gave the appearance of violence to a peaceful crowd. Did you know that NOT ONE person was charged with a gun violation on that day? They called it an “armed insurrection” but they failed to tell you that the “arms” were MAGA Flags, Old Glory, and Bibles.

But that is what scared them the most. In the Den of thieves that thrives on LIES, it was the TRUTH that scared them far great than bombs and bullets.

Several of my friends are in jail. They did nothing wrong. Some just followed the traffic and walked into the Capitol thru OPEN doors. The Police invited them in! Many are still waiting on a trial…facing up to 30 years. None have been given bail as they languish in jail simply for exercising their God-given Constitutional rights.

The Government agencies are the REAL criminals. They are obligated to find the TRUTH…not hide it. The law requires that the Government present ANY evidence that shoes the innocence of those who have been charged. Our Government has hidden the exculpatory evidence because it is not justice that they seek…but revenge.

The Bible teaches CHRISTIANS, who today are being labelled as dangerous by these same government actors, that the real war in America is over WHO will sit on the throne over this nation. A coup has already taken place and God-fearing American’s simply want Christ re-instated to his rightful position as head of ONE NATION UNDER GOD. That is really what this whole insurrection thing is about.

America is a mess. “One nation, under God, INDIVISABLE, with LIBERTY, and JUSTICE for all…” have become hollow words. Revenge is not justice. Vengeance, the Bible teaches, belongs to the Lord. Vengeance has no place in the American Justice system.

The white, heterosexual, Christian male has become the enemy of the anti-Christian American Government. The war is Spiritual and it is obvious.

BLM, ANTIFA, and the militant, defiant-sexual movement act like a Boa Constrictor, squeezing the life out of White, Christian Americans.

Open your eyes. Our Government serves the Devil. The Republican Party is complicit in the coup. Christianity is under attack. No one has the courage to say it. I just did.

God will not be mocked. Justice is coming.

Has anyone seen the American Church?

Have We Dodged a Bullet?

By Lee Duigon

March 7, 2024

Let’s play the game of “What If?” It’s foolish but it’s fun. And we just might have to do some serious thinking about this scenario, if only to make sure it never happens.

What if the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled “Well, yeah, sure—of course the state of Colorado can kick Donald Trump off the ballot for this year’s presidential election”? I mean, instead of ruling unanimously, 9-0, that states can’t do that. But let’s imagine that they can.

The first thing that happens is that various Blue states hop on board to erase Trump from the ballot. With each state that does so, pressure mounts on other states to do the same. Sooner or later the Red states retaliate by kicking Jobydin off their presidential ballots—say, for refusing to enforce our immigration laws and using his office for his family’s corrupt financial gain.

Suddenly all 50 states are involved and the two major party candidates are not to be found sharing space on any single state’s ballot. How do you even hold a presidential election under such chaotic circumstances? But we try anyhow because we don’t know what else to do.

In all the confusion, voter turnout hits new lows. And we have news items like this:

FLASH! Retired paper-hanger Billy Bob Socko, write-in candidate for the Jidrool Party, secures New Mexico’s five electoral votes with a total of 97 popular votes (and he had to knock on who knows how many doors just to get that!)

Ferocious political infighting within the states results in no candidate getting anything remotely near a majority vote for president. (FLASH! Tour guide Alice LaFong, with 138 popular votes, is the leading candidate to corral California’s 54 electoral votes. The fact that she passed away in 2022 made no impression on her voters.)

Chaos! Remember 1981, when President Reagan was felled by an assassin? And Alexander Haig, secretary of state, proclaimed “I am in control here, in the White House.” He wasn’t, of course: he wasn’t the vice president, and probably couldn’t have passed a course in civics. But for a moment there, he almost brought on a Constitutional crisis. What if he had tried to make it stick?

What if, what if… Who winds up being president, in our disastrous (and hopefully fantastic) scenario? “Guess I’d just better stay where I am until we solve this”—would Biden say that? Or would General Silly Milly step up to the plate? “I chaired the Joint Chiefs of Staff, somebody has to be in charge and it looks like it’s gotta be me!” Presto! A military coup. Third World, here we come.

The Supreme Court’s 9-0 ruling, we fervently hope, has spared us a national pie fight. But we’re not out of the woods yet. We do not know how far Democrats will go, to stay in power. Pray we never find out. We have drifted into murky waters, a fog has descended on us, and we don’t know where we’ll come out.

Pray harder.

I have discussed this and other topics throughout the week on my blog, http://www.leeduigon.com/ . Take time out from counting however many votes you’ve received for president, click the link, and drop in for a visit. My articles can also be found at www.chalcedon.edu/ .

Illegal Aliens: Can Trump’s Deportation Plan Work? – Part 1

By: Devvy

March 6, 2024

The plan to flood America with millions of freeloaders, terrorists and criminals has worked perfectly. Crime is soaring and those “newcomers” are bleeding taxpayers dry thanks to rotten, corrupt politicians and gutless cowards in Congress and state legislatures.

Governors who belong to the Democrat/Communist Party USA and mayors who ignore immigration laws already on the books are now crying like babies as their cities, towns, schools and hospitals are over run with increasing crime. Citizens are finally waking up to reality now that it’s come to their community.

Oh, those poor people are coming here because they want a better life. Think Laken Riley would have liked a nice life and lived the American dream? Now she’s 6’ under.

There’s a migrant crime spree killing Americans and Biden’s an accessory. “EXCLUSIVE: There’s a migrant crime spree killing Americans and Biden’s an accessory. Biden campaigned on policies that let Americans be raped and murdered. Americans are sick and tired of being lied to by pathetic politicians who think we can’t read the laws they write behind our backs.

“Now Americans are dead and the left is protecting the reputations of migrants instead of the lives of Americans. Athens father and resident, James Lee, who spoke out against the mayor today, tells Primetime that Laken Riley’s murder has left residents feeling outraged and abandoned. Below is Trump’s response as well… much more below this top vid by Jesse Watters.”

This invasion was planned and the first day after the impostor playing president, career criminal Joe Biden, was unlawfully sworn in, he did as his handlers told him to do: Dismantle the programs and agreements in effect under President Trump. Top of the short list: Asylum seekers would remain in Mexico (who doesn’t want them) until their court date. 93% of asylum claims are BOGUS and get dismissed.

This nightmare was 100% avoidable, but thanks to a GOP controlled Congress under President Trump, Republicans did NOTHING but point the finger at Democrats. For the thousandth time and now ten years down the road, once again: One of the biggest crooks ever to serve in the Senate, dirty Harry Reid (Deceased), member of the Democrat/Communist Party USA, introduced the strongest anti-illegals bill ever written; 76 pages. I have written about this over and over and over: Turn off the money and the freeloaders will leave. Turn off the money and they will not come – except terrorists smuggling themselves across the border during the night loaded with weapons.

August 24, 2014, my column: A Bill: Stop All Public Welfare In Any Form for Illegal Aliens

“August 5, 1993, Dirty Harry’s office issued the following: In response to increased terrorism and abuse of social programs by aliens, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) Today introduced the first and only comprehensive immigration reform bill in Congress. Currently, an alien living illegally in the United States often pays no taxes but receives unemployment, welfare, free medical care and other federal benefits. Recent terrorist acts, including the World Trade Center bombing, have underscored the need to keep violent criminals out of the country.

“Our borders have overflowed with illegal immigrants placing tremendous burdens on our criminal justice system, schools and social programs. The Immigration and Naturalization Service needs the ability to step up enforcement. Our federal wallet is stretched to the limit by illegal aliens getting welfare, food stamps, medical care, and other benefits often without paying any taxes.”

“Reid’s statements were to announce a bill he introduced back then titled the Immigration Stabilization Act [S.1351]. I’m betting it was not written by Dirty Harry, but by lawyers who know what they’re doing and the sure to come legal challenges. It covers the whole gambit of turning off the trillions spent over the past 28 years since Reagan sold us out. One section I want to highlight: TITLE X–CITIZENSHIP

SEC. 1001. BASIS OF CITIZENSHIP CLARIFIED.

“In the exercise of its powers under section 5 of the Fourteenth Article of Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the Congress has determined and hereby declares that any person born after the date of enactment of this title to a mother who is neither a citizen of the United States nor admitted to the United States as a lawful permanent resident, and which person is a national or citizen of another country of which either of his or her natural parents is a national or citizen, or is entitled upon application to become a national or citizen of such country, shall be considered as born subject to the jurisdiction of that foreign country and not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States within the meaning of section 1 of such Article and shall therefore not be a citizen of the United States or of any State solely by reason of physical presence within the United States at the moment of birth.”

Dirty Harry was speaking about the legal fiction called ‘anchor babies’ something I have been very vocal about and ignored by both parties. Texas did try. Texas: No Birth Certificates for Illegal Aliens, mine, August 31, 2015.

“If anyone’s going to be deported, it’s going to be you! … Get out! We are the future. You’re old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you – leave like beaten rats. You old white people, it is your duty to die. Right now, we’re already controlling those elections, whether it’s by violence or nonviolence. Through love of having children we’re going to take over.” –Augustin Cebada, information minister of Brown Berets, militant para-military soldiers of Aztlan shouting at U.S. citizens at an Independence Day rally in Los Angeles.

“Naturally, the corrupt Mexican government is howling like a stuck pig: Mexico Warns Texas to Stop Refusing to Issue Illegal Alien Babies Birth Certificates, August 27, 2015. “The Mexican government is warning that Texas’ denial of birth certificates for U.S. children born here to undocumented immigrants stands to imperil the relationship between Mexico and the Lone Star State.

“The concern was raised in an amicus brief filed Monday evening to lend support to immigrants parents who sued Texas after being denied birth certificates for their U.S.-born children, even after showing their “matrículas,” the ID cards issued by the Mexican consulate to undocumented immigrants…They should rethink their bitching because you don’t push Texas around without a fight. The State of Texas has the absolute legal right to make required documentation mandatory. Not to mention what hypocrites they are: Mexico Deports More Illegals Than The US Does – Mexico tightens immigration laws, while asking us to loosen ours, June 22, 2015.”

Of course, there were lawsuits and garbage websites like Wikipedia continue to publish the conspiracy theory that any baby dropped on U.S. soil is automatically a U.S. citizen under the Fourteenth Amendment. In 2016, a group of illegal alien mothers sued the State of Texas. Aww, they were being discriminated against. No, you have NO right to be on U.S. soil, period. In the end, Texas was basically forced to reach an agreement with criminals who violate our immigration laws so they can birth their baby on U.S. soil so Texans can be raped in taxes for their free ride – BILLIONS of our tax dollars here in Texas.

Well, now we have yet another innocent young girl with her whole life ahead of her murdered by a sub-human piece of excrement: Laken Riley, age 22. LIKE THOUSANDS OF OTHER AMERICANS OF ALL AGES AND RACES who’ve been murdered by illegal aliens.

Riley’s murderer is an illegal alien (not a “newcomer”, undocumented, migrant or immigrant) from Venezuela, Joe Antonion Ibarra. Athens, Georgia is a fictitious “sanctuary city”. No Sanctuaries In “Sanctuary Cities”, Dec. 3, 2016, Dr. Edwin Vieira

He is an accessory to her murder: Sheriff where Laken Riley was viciously murdered — allegedly by Venezuelan migrant — pledged not to cooperate with ICE during his campaign, Feb. 29, 2024 – “The sheriff of the Georgia county where a Venezuelan migrant has been charged with murdering nursing student Laken Riley had campaigned on refusing to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, a resurfaced interview shows.

“It is not my intention, when elected sheriff, to cooperate with those detainers,” John Williams, now the sheriff of Athens-Clarke County, said in a 2020 interview with Athens Political Nerds. He was referring to detainers ICE placed on illegal immigrants who were arrested on criminal charges.”

So, voters in Athens in an uproar over the brutal murder (her skull was bashed in) of that young innocent girl got what you voted for: Lawlessness, rapists and murderers in your “sanctuary city”. Those of you who voted for Williams voted to protect a career criminal here ILLEGALLY; quoting from the article above:

“He [Ibarra] had entered the country illegally in 2022 but was released pending “future proceedings,” US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have said. From there, he worked in the Big Apple delivering food and was arrested in Queens on Aug. 31 on a child endangerment charge — but was released before the federal agency could file a request to deport him, immigration officials said.

“Ibarra later moved to Georgia to live with his brother, Diego, and the two were busted for shoplifting at an Athens Walmart in October and charged with stealing $200 in merchandise, but were released after being issued summonses. Diego Ibarra was later detained by ICE for using a phony green card to land a job at UGA.”

NGO’s (Non-governmental Organizations) are overwhelmingly a cancer as too many of them are America haters and in the case of illegal aliens, complicit in violating federal law. That includes the Catholic Church and other religious denominations who also get big federal bux for aiding and abetting.

Quoting a great American, Jon Christian Ryter, whose deep research has always been accurate. I’ve always had a great deal of respect for Jon. From one of his columns back in 2010:

“It was Truman who pushed the Federal Immigration and National Act of 1952 through Congress in the closing days of his administration. Under Section 8 USC 1324[a](1)(A)[iv][b](iii) any US citizen that knowingly assists an illegal alien, provides them with employment, food, water or shelter has committed a felony. City, county or State officials that declare their jurisdictions to be “Open Cities, Counties or States are subject to arrest; as are law enforcement agencies who chose not to enforce this law. Police officers who ignore officials who violate Section 8 USC 1324[a](1)(A)[iv][b](iii) are committing a Section 274 federal felony.

“Furthermore, according to Federal Immigration and National Act of 1952, if you live in a city, county or State that refuses to enforce the law for whatever reason, the officials making those rules are financially liable for any crime committed within their jurisdiction by an illegal alien.”

8 U.S. Code § 1324 – Bringing in and harboring certain aliens – Read it.

In total violation of federal immigration law: Illegal Aliens to Get Interest-Free Home Loans Under New Democrat-Backed California Bill

I’ve said forever, you can’t fix a problem unless you go back and find when and how the problem started. Before we get to Part II, you must read this January 27, 2010, column by Jon because it is the factual history of what three previous presidents did to deport millions of illegal aliens:

“Three times in the history of the United States US Presidents took what would today be considered a politically unpopular position by rounding up and deporting illegal aliens to create jobs for US Citizens. The first attempt occurred shortly after the banker-induced Stock Market Crash of 1929 when President Herbert Hoover ordered the round-up and deportation of illegals by the US Immigration and Naturalization Service. The program, dubbed “Operation Wetback,” was carried out without any protests from US government-funded Hispanic advocacy groups—since there were none. The Clintonesque-liberal media political correctness dictionary was still 63 years in the future and the communist-left FDR (America’s white Barack Obama) federal bureaucracy was still some 4-years in the making.

“The Hoover roundup sent over one million Mexican illegal aliens packing—freeing up jobs for out-of-work US citizens. In addition, some 47 thousand Mexican nationals who were in the country legally, with visas, also opted to leave due to rising animosity by out-of-work Americans for any foreigner in the United States with a job. Operation Wetback was launched in the Southwest: Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas. But deportees also came from Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, and New York. Since Mexican illegals tried hard to remain under the radar screen, few of them traveled far beyond the border States, thus we can assume that most of the deportees from the States north of the Mason-Dixon line were legal residents. During the Hoover years, immigration to he United States was virtually stopped…

“Eisenhower hired Gen. Joseph May Swing to head the INS and with units of the US National Guard, began what history now views as a quasi-military operation to find and seize illegal immigrants. As hard as Johnson tried to get rid of Swing, Eisenhower protected his man in Immigration. On July 15, 1953, the first day of Operation Wetback III, Swing’s men arrested 4,800 illegals. After the first day, the INS averaged the seizure of 1,100 illegals per day. The INS devoted 700 men to the project, hoping to scare enough more illegals to flee back across the border. The INS claims that under Eisenhower’s Operation Wetback, they deported 1,300,000 illegals. The open-border social progressives insist that all three phases of Operation Wetback were dismal flops, and that only a few thousand people—all of whom, they claim, were legal residents—were deported.” Rest of the history at link above.

Of course, today we are up against a dirty, crooked Mexican president who wants and has been happy to ship us their peasant class; uneducated and disease-ridden individuals (like TB) along with the despicable ACLU and other organizations who want open borders. The illegal who murdered Laken Riley is from Venezuela. Maduro is the president of Venezuela. Another stinking, rotten Marxist who has told the U.S. they will refuse any illegals we ship back to them to them. See those cantaloupes and other fruits and veggies at the grocery store from Venezuela? Let them ROT on the shelves. I don’t buy foreign anyway (and I’ve made that quite clear at both HEB and China (Wal) Mart over the decades since NAFTA was signed). The American people can use their wallet to send a clear message.

Trump has made a huge campaign promise: He will spearhead the biggest deportation operation in the history of this country. But can he pull it off?

Remember the Alamo

By Dennis Kelly

March 6, 2024

[This is a republication of the article below from last year this time with a few minor changes. I’ve also added the following caveat: After some investigation I found that, as always there are revisionist authors out there who would try and change our nation’s history with inaccurate assumptions and speculation about the Alamo’s last stand. They smear those brave men as cowards and not surprisingly, just a bunch of morally depraved slave owners. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The story below is, as accurate an account that can be found and verified by the 15 survivors made up of a few Mexicans who were in the fortress, a slave who was spared, along with Susanna Dickinson (and her young daughter), the widow of Captain Dickson who was killed during the final battle.

It seems fitting today that this story should be recounted and remembered, especially with the invasion currently taking place at the Texas border.]

Do kids have heroes today? If so, are they real people or are they animated fictitious action figures of some sort? Who were your heroes growing up? As a youngster growing up in the late fifties and early sixties in Detroit I vividly remember cowboy singer Marty Robbins singing “Ballad of the Alamo” in 1960.

The song tells the story of the 185 Texans and Tennessee Volunteers who in late February 1836 held out against all odds for 13 days to defend Fort Alamo against several thousand Mexican soldiers led by General Santa Anna, but on the morning of March 6 Mexican forces finally breached the outer wall and overpowered the small force of brave defenders killing all.

During the final battle the Mexicans suffered heavy casualties losing 600 – 1600 men. The fighting was so intense in the end that reloading was not possible by the defenders and it came down to swinging muskets and knives. Such a thing is hard to imagine in this day and age.

March 6^th 2024 marks the 188^th anniversary of the Siege of the Alamo. These courageous men who died that day were my childhood heroes. They were told by Santa Anna he would give no quarter, meaning no prisoners taken. Knowing this, every man there was given an opportunity to leave. Not a single man took that option. They absolutely knew violent death was a certainty. They literally went down swinging.

True to his word General Santa Anna killed all of the maimed and wounded where they fell. He did not allow any of the bodies of the defenders to be buried but stacked them up and burned them.

Today these brave men are forgotten. Men like James Bowie, the inventor of the legendary knife and Colonel William Travis, (who we named my son Travis after). Davey Crockett also died at the Alamo, along with 60 of his Tennessee Volunteers. And what did they give their lives for you might ask. They were defending the territory of Texas for independence from Mexico.

A few weeks after that battle Santa Anna was attacked and defeated by 800 Texans led by Sam Houston, their rally cry was, REMEMBER THE ALAMO! Santa Anna who was taken prisoner came to terms with Houston ending the war and Texas won its independence.

Sorry for the brief (and incomplete) history lesson but I doubt you will find this piece of our history in any school curriculum today unless perhaps it’s to point out the imperial nature of America, stealing land from our Spanish speaking neighbors to the south.

So on March 6^th remember that there was a time not too long ago, when truly brave men walked this land. They sought independence, liberty and justice. And yes, they carried guns.

Remember the Alamo!

The Safest Place To Be Regardless Of The Circumstances Is Where The Lord Will Have Us To Be

By Bradlee Dean

March 6, 2024

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” -Psalm 91:1

The other day while broadcasting The Sons of Liberty Radio, I received a call into the show asking me what is going to happen to the Christians that are occupying during these times of God’s judgments upon this country. I responded with, the Bible does tell us:

“Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds,” while on the other hand “Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.” -Isaiah 3:10-11

As we can see, the Lord is very specific in His judgments.

I went on and said that I have never personally witnessed the Lord leave us in the hand of our enemies in the time of judgment (Psalm 7:6).

As a matter of fact, I have seen where the Lord said, “touch not mine anointed (Psalm 105:15), and brought recompense unto those who troubled the righteous (2 Thessalonians 1:6) swiftly (Deuteronomy 7:10).

When you go to Deuteronomy 28:7, Scripture tells us that in His Providence the promises are for us, not against us (2 Corinthians 1:20).

“The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.”

Then, as I was communicating this (John 7:38), I said, by the Holy Ghost who brings all things to our remembrance, being in the will of God is the safest place to be in whatever state you may be in.

Let me give you some examples:

Noah was commanded to build the ark, which was set for judgment upon the heads of those who refused the Lord’s mercy, as well as it was to save those who responded to His warnings (Genesis 6:13-22).

The rain that the Lord sent was used to judge the unrepentant and wicked men (to drown them), but it was also brought forth to float Noah’s ark which again, in the end, saved their lives – souls.

“When once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.” -1 Peter 3:20

The safest place for Noah and his family was right where the Lord had put them: Right in the midst of His judgments.

What of Goshen? This was a time when the Lord was judging Pharaoh, his house, and his servants, as well as their animals. However, the Lord told His people through Moses to remain in Goshen.

“And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth. And I will put a division between My people and thy people.” -Exodus 8:22-25

The safest place for the children of Israel to reside in was in obedience to the Lord and His directives.

Also, remember when the Lord brought the Children of Israel to the sea’s edge? The Lord made a strait way for His children to get through to the other side in safety and in possession.

This was a time when they were being hunted down by the Pharaoh and his armies, only to hear the Lord say “Be still and no that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).

“And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.” -Exodus 14:21

And in Exodus 14:28, “And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.”

For the children of Israel, it wasthe safest place for them to be. It was the Lord’s deliverance and salvation, while on the other hand, it was the end of the cruelties of Pharaoh and his army.

What of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego?

King Nebuchadnezzar made a decree that all must worship the image which he created, or else they would burn.

“Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image:

And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.” -Daniel 3:10-11

How did the three men respond? They refused to worship the idol. In accordance to their love for the Lord, they obeyed Him even at the cost of their lives, if need be (Daniel 3:18).

Because of their obedience, they were in the safest place in the world, which was in the midst of the fire that was heated seven times hotter (Daniel 3:19).

In Daniel 3:24-25, Scripture tells us, “Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”

Consider, if you will, that these men, if they were not in the will of God which was in the midst of the fire, the fourth man would not have shown up to deliver them, as well as the king destroying his own idols.

In response, the king stated to his people:

“Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.” -Daniel 3:28

These men chose to be in the midst of the fire, in the will of God, regardless of the circumstances.

What of Daniel? Daniel was thrown in the lion’s den for refusing the kings decree. In response to Daniel’s faith, the Lord sent His angels to protect him (Daniel 6:13).

“My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.” –Daniel 6: 22

Take note: In the end, this was a judgment upon the heads of Daniels accusers.

“And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.” –Daniel 6:24

What of the disciples, the eleven of the twelve who were martyred? This seemed to be a judgment upon the righteous rather than the other way around. How was that the safest place to be?

The disciples were, without a doubt, in the will of God.

Look to our (their) Lord: Jesus was crucified, in which He was appointed as the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world (John 1:29). One must also remember that this was a judgment upon the prince of the world.

“Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.” -John 12:31

Furthermore, Scripture tells us in 1 Corinthians 2:8:

“Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”

Why, might you ask? Because it is in understanding the mind of the Spirit that brings about the power of God unto salvation! Read Romans 1:16!

So, in understanding the lesson here, all of the wicked and their counsels and devices that are aimed at the Lord and His children merely ends in self destruction. In life, or in death.

“The tyrant dies and his rule is over; the martyr dies and his rule begins.”

Illegal Aliens: Can Trump’s Deportation Plan Work? – Part 2

By: Devvy

March 6, 2024

If only Republicans had passed Dirty Harry Reid’s bill in 2017, this on-going invasion would NOT be happening. No doubt open border cockroaches like the ACLU and others would have sued but I believe the bill will be declared constitutional.

I tried. Three months after Trump took office, I sent him a letter with the first page of the bill along with a copy to his hot-shot senior advisor for policy, Stephen Miller. No response. I waited three more months and spent from my limited budget overnight mail, again, to Trump and Priority to Miller. No response. Over the past decade I’ve sent a similar letter and first page of the bill to dozens of U.S. Senators and House members who were all very outspoken about the invasion at the border. The last one was blabbermouth, Rep. Chip Roy. Not a single response from any of them nor has the issue of stopping welfare in ALL forms at all level of governments ever mentioned.

Trump did fight hard to get a wall built but he had to battle RINO’s in his own party as well as the DemonRats in Congress and partisan judges who should have been impeached for siding with criminals who violate our immigration laws and given a free pass.

While Donald Trump was a highly successful businessman before he was elected in 2016, he was a neophyte in the dirty, filthy world of the blood sport known as American politics. I have zero doubt he had any inkling at the beginning those around him were setting him up for failure. Now he knows.

Trump did not utilize the power he had as president to stop the invasion and either his over rated advisors were also ignorant of his presidential powers or they never told him. I do believe this time around, when Trump is elected, we’re going to see real action taken right along with riots and violence. Make no mistake about that statement. However, the American people overwhelmingly want illegals deported – especially violent criminals and terrorists the Obama, er, Biden “administration” has welcomed with open arms. Over this past weekend, another 14,000 illegals walked right into OUR country; the Tucson, AZ sector led the way for the invasion to continue.

Trump told his audience on Sept. 20, 2023, at a campaign stop, he would immediately invoke the Alien Enemies Act to facilitate deporting illegals. Never heard of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, but am very well versed on the Sedition Act of 1798. Right away liberals (socialists) and progressives (communists) went ballistic.

Trump said his intentions in using that Act would be to deport illegals involved in drug cartels, human and drug trafficking or individuals from our enemy nations suspected of terrorist activities. The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) has a lengthy historic and legal analysis of that Act that I strongly encourage everyone to read: The 225-year-old ‘Alien Enemies Act’ Needs to Come Out of Retirement, Oct. 10, 2023

Former ICE Director Promises ‘Biggest Deportation Operation’ Under Trump – Tom Homan says there will be consequences for illegal border crossers under another Trump administration. “I promised President Trump when he announced that if he goes back, I go back. And I’m going to run the biggest deportation operation this country’s ever seen because these millions of people being released in this country, nine out of 10 will get an order of removal based on immigration court data,” wrote Homan on X.

“A judge orders them to be removed. We’re going to find them and we’re gonna remove them,” he added. “If there’s no consequence, we can’t fix the border. We’re going to have a consequence in the Trump administration.”

This is a video interview featuring Stephen Miller on the Clay & Buck radio show. Miller lays out in great detail just how millions of illegals are going to be deported utilizing personnel from various agencies. Okay. One of the biggest problems is going to be what’s happened with the Marxist president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, who has told the fake Biden administration do not send any illegals from Venezuela back to them. Miller spoke about the role of the State Department. I do recommend you take the time to watch the Miller interview here.

Besides being Trump’s chief advisor for policy and his chief speech writer, after the stolen election in 2020, Miller and a select few attorneys opened up the America First Legal Foundation. While Miller did receive a BA in political science, to my knowledge he is not a lawyer.

Now, it’s all well and fine to use the National Guard and all the other law enforcement personnel Miller covers but we’re talking about a MASSIVE undertaking and they better get it right the first time. Let me refer to the Monroe Doctrine: (Emphasis mine.)

Text of Monroe’s Speech – Seventh State of the Union Address. Monroe was our fifth president (1817-1825) and a member of a member of the Democratic-Republican Party.

“I transmit a return of the militia of the several States according to the last reports which have been made by the proper officers in each to the Department of War by reference to this return it will be seen that it is not complete, although great exertions have been made to make it so. As the defense and even the liberties of the country must depend in times of imminent danger on the militia, it is of the highest importance that it be well organized, armed, and disciplined throughout the Union.”

Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Many Second Amendment advocates celebrated the Heller decision, per Cornell Law:

“In the 2008 case District of Columbia v. Heller, the Supreme Court held that the “Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.”

Of course, that Supreme Court completely ignored the first thirteen words of the Second Amendment as if they didn’t exist. Prior to that we had the mess called the Dick Act of 1903 which did NOT Amend the Second Amendment to read the National Guard being necessary to the security of a free state…

Back in 2013 and despite Dr. Edwin Vieira’s best efforts in trying to explain the constitutional militia to a couple of AZ senators, then AZ governor Jan Brewer signed a toothless, worthless law: Arizona’s Volunteer Militia On Call For Public Safety. Those who had little understanding of the constitutional militia wet their pants over Brewer’s Bungle thinking that new law was the answer. Sure, it was as AZ is being still being invaded by double digit thousands of illegal aliens. So, where’s this “volunteer militia” in AZ as thousands of illegals walk right across their state border?

THE foremost expert in this country on the Second Amendment and constitutional militia is Dr. Edwin Vieira. If you are unfamiliar with Edwin, his full bio is here. Like hundreds of millions of gun owners over the last century, I had no understanding of the true meaning of the Second Amendment other than I get to own a gun for personal protection until Edwin began writing about it for Newswithviews back in 2005.

Too many gun owners think that amendment is all about hunting. The links below are absolutely essential in understanding the true meaning of the constitutional militia and will help better understand why President Monroe highlighted it in his State of the Union Address:

Who Regulates “A Well Regulated Militia?” by Dr Edwin Vieira, March 3, 2015

No Second Amendment Revolution Is Necessary, by Dr. Edwin Vieira, Aug. 9, 2016

This series by Edwin addresses private militia: True v. False Militia and Why the Difference Matters, July 30, 2007

Because there is a great awakening here in America (and around the world) regarding plans to end all nations sovereignty and force us all to live under a one world government, the evil doers – globalists who have NO loyalty to any country – it’s time to go after “militias”:

H.R.6981 – Preventing Private Paramilitary Activity Act of 2024 was introduced by one of the slimiest Marxist puppets and big shots in the Democrat/Communist Party USA, Rep. Jamie Rankin [D-MD]. I watched him perform during the political impeachment against Trump. It made me sick to my soul such a deceitful, lying POS serving in the U.S. Congress. Davy Crockett would have cleaned his clock.* Currently there are 12 cosponsors, all DemonRATS. Here’s the full text of Rankin’s bill that needs to be used as target practice.

Look out because that cancer is spreading: Republican Governor Joins Democratic Crackdown on Militias. The bias in that yellow journalism is in neon lights. Written in 2023, it opens with this drivel: “Several states are moving to enact legislation cracking down on paramilitary organizations after a years-long rise in organized political violence across the United States.”

And just who has been committing all the violence since George Floyd? BLM & ANTIFA. Not to mention the EVERYDAY violence we’re seeing across this country by black individuals. And, no that’s not racist, go watch for yourself. Two days ago: “They opened a Six Flags outside Atlanta and there was, of course, a gunfight immediately. Massive brawls, multiple people shot.” Shot and killed; more video. For what?

As those keeping up with efforts here in Texas and the human invasion are aware each time Texas takes aggressive action to stop the flood of criminals who violate OUR immigration laws, the communists file all kinds of lawsuits. JUST IN: Federal Appeals Court Reverses Judge’s Ruling, Allows Texas Immigration Law That Allows Police to Arrest Illegals to Take Effect, March 4, 2024. “The appeals court ruling will stay in place unless the Supreme Court intervenes by March 9.” Our state has that right which I covered in a recent column: State and Local Authority to Enforce Immigration Law

As I write this, I have no doubt the communists from various organizations will file yet another lawsuit to overturn the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Trump had better get reelected and make the invasion a top priority. He CAN re-instate the Remain in Mexico policy and add Canada. Those here after filing for asylum have 30 days to go back to Mexico or Canada. Yes, I’m fully aware hundreds of thousands of them have been given court dates all the way to 2030. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

The international rule has been asylum seekers go to the nearest country from the one they’re leaving. Apply for asylum and remain there until they get a court hearing. Oh, but you can’t do that here! Why, they’re all over the country, renting houses or apts and their kids are enrolled in public indoctrination centers cheating America’s children by draining financial resources. Too damn bad. Either the Trump administration fights back or the invasion will continue and our country will be completely destroyed. OUR America will be gone.

Back in 2002, I wrote a column, Where Have All the Men Gone? I received an avalanche of email agreeing with me, but of course, the do-nothing whiners sent some pretty nasty emails so I wrote a follow up column which I have only done once or twice: Questioning America’s Manhood Draws More Excuses

So, which is it going to be? Real men and women warriors in Congress and our state legislatures or spineless Republicans too afraid the prostitute media might call them racists. Republicans who don’t want to offend voters in their district while our country is being invaded and believe me, the crime wave is increasing by the day.

A warrior or a senator like Susan Collins, R-Maine? Pro-killing the unborn, voted yes to add sexual deviants to the list of hate crimes for which Congress has NO legislative authority, free-trade advocate to keep destroying our most important job sectors; that’s a very short list. Why she hasn’t registered with the Democrat/Communist Party USA is a mystery.

Oh, relax, FBI. This is about the Constitution, the right of the states and legal actions by Texas; hopefully other GOP governors will find their backbone and proceed. Hopefully, your county sheriff and local law enforcement will stand up and fight back: State and Local Authority to Enforce Immigration Law

One thing Trump needs to do on day one besides implement the master plan for mass deportation as outlined by Stephen Miller (which tells me meetings have been going on with Trump): Put Dr. Edwin Vieira in charge of the constitutional militia to school and get all fifty state governors organized and how to do it. A series of conference calls and explain to them pursuant to the U.S. Constitution their obligation to organize the constitutional militia. And: How the States Can Suppress Illegal Immigration, Sept. 3, 2021, by Edwin Vieira. Presidential Questions, May 9, 2015, by Dr. Edwin Vieira. VERY important for Trump.

For right now, the only way to at least stop some of the invaders (summer is coming and the number of hordes will increase by millions more to suck down your paycheck and commit more heinous crimes) is the states. Our state AG, Ken Paxton is fighting like a true warrior, but it’s going to take many more state AG’s and governors to step up and say no more. Our governor, Greg Abbott is not the big hero people think he is. The day career criminal, Joe Biden, was unlawfully sworn into office, Abbott (and I’ve written to him several times about this and never received even the usual form letter; I’m not one of his millionaire/billionaire donors), should have called up the Texas State Militia:

From one of my columns last year: “Texas governor, Greg Abbott, has refused to call up the State Militia which I wrote about in detail, Sept. 11, 2023: Illegals Invasion: What Are You Waiting for Governor Abbott? Call up the State Militia. GOVERNMENT CODE – TITLE 4. EXECUTIVE BRANCH – SUBTITLE C. STATE MILITARY FORCES AND VETERANS – CHAPTER 431. STATE MILITIA. Repel means you don’t let any of them put one foot on U.S. soil.

“If you haven’t read it, please do as it’s very important as is this follow up: Yawn: Governor Greg Abbott Officially Declares INVASION at Southern Border, Sept. 25, 2023. Years too late.

“I don’t care how loud Democrats squeal like pigs or the ACLU making threats, just get the State Militia on the border. Once illegals making their way find out they’re not going to step on U.S. soil, game the asylum system or just waltz in and disappear, most will not continue to the border.

“Man up, Abbott. Either you get tough and mean it or this monstrous invasion destroying our country will continue. Not a pretty situation but we did not create this problem. Mexico, Democrats & Republicans did by refusing to stop the hordes over the decades. They’ve done NOTHING but whine and play politics.

“There’s no doubt in my mind there will be thousands of Texans, retired or even working who will volunteer for the State Militia on a rotating system. A lot of them retired military and law enforcement. Not a bunch of hot-heads. Lawful patriotic Americans stepping up and taking part in protecting OUR homeland security. OUR duty to do so.”

You can contact Gov. Greg Abbott’s office and politely demand he call up the State Militia (list the government code) and quit depending on other states to send their National Guard. If 100,000 Texans contact Abbott he just might do what he should have done years ago. Phone: (512) 463-2000. Fax or email here. Don’t depend on someone else to make that call, send a fax or email. It’s up to us to roar. You, your wife, son, daughter, sister, brother – we’re all targets of the criminal element that’s been allowed to cross the border and continue to be released into our cities and towns. More blabbering on radio talk shows isn’t going to get the job done.

Right now, if you live in Texas, please call Paxton’s office (512-463-2100) and ask him to do what Dr. Edwin Vieira wrote in his March 5, 2024, column which needs to go viral and link on X and Trump’s social media platform. By the time you read this I will already have contacted AG Ken Paxton. MAKE THIS GO VIRAL:

Now Is the Time for Texas to Seek a Writ of Prohibition

One last thing. If Republicans keep a majority in the House and Senate, they had damn well better get Harry Reid’s bill passed so Trump can sign it. YOU have to make this an issue with every GOP candidate/incumbent who wins this Nov. The free ride is over. Paxton and every GOP AG also need to get this done; a dozen GOP states sue in one lawsuit: TX AG Ken Paxton: PLYLER v. DOE, 457 U.S. 202 Must be Overturned, Oct. 2, 2023

Nice someone besides me is bringing this to the forefront: Colorado Democrats Lay Off Americans and Mull Giving Illegals Government Jobs, Violating Federal Law, March 4, 2024 – “Despite growing concern over handing illegal aliens government jobs even without legal work permits, U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) urged Centennial State officials to ignore federal law and give illegals government jobs anyway. The senator even blasted the feds for threatening to sue cities for ignoring the law and hiring lllegals.”

Who is Speaker Mike Johnson Really?

By Kelleigh Nelson

March 5, 2024

I weep for the liberty of my country when I see at this early day of its successful experiment that corruption has been imputed to many members of the House of Representatives, and the rights of the people have been bartered for promises of office. —Andrew Jackson

The fight for justice against corruption is never easy. It never has been and never will be. It exacts a toll on our self, our families, our friends, and especially our children. In the end, I believe, as in my case, the price we pay is well worth holding on to our dignity. Today it is becoming harder to speak out, with the inception of the Patriot Act, the president has legislated free speech to be a crime. —Frank Serpico

Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence. —Thomas Jefferson

And I am saying, how about the other two branches? And putting the pressure on our representatives in the Senate and the Congress, and the court system. They should be counter-acting this corruption, but they are sitting there silent. —Sibel Edmonds

Despotic power is always accompanied by corruption of morality. —Lord Acton

When Mike Johnson was elected as Speaker, I had my suspicions regarding his capabilities. A few things immediately came to light which made me doubt he’d be any better than McCarthy. I voiced that opinion in emails and one of my friends commented, “But he prays in the House Chapel every morning.” I said, “So do the Muslims.”

I’ve always felt that anyone who proclaims their Christian faith over and over in public is hiding something. Mike Pence comes to mind.

My intuition aside, Mike Johnson is only one man. He has to deal with the Stalinist Party and the neo-con Trotskyites in his own party. With the Senate and the White House in the hands of the Democrats, his opportunities are few. However, he can and should completely terminate corrupt and unconstitutional legislation that would be catastrophic to America. And that includes standing firm against the $95 billion foreign aid package, which includes $60 billion for Ukraine, $14.1 billion for Israel, and around $9.2 billion for “humanitarian assistance” in Gaza passed by the Senate without any border policy changes. Within this bill is a hidden impeachment clause that could backfire on Trump if he’s elected.

McCarthy to Johnson

Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted after Rep. Matt Gaetz filed a motion to remove McCarthy for not keeping his promises. His term as House speaker lasted only nine months. Republicans dropped him because he broke his promises and made backroom deals with Biden and House Democrats. McCarthy’s Leadership PAC received funding from Sequoia Capital, an important investment firm promoting business in China. Critics say McCarthy “shut down” investigations into the CCP’s deals with Sequoia, BlackRock, and other Wall Street firms.

Congressman McCarthy only voted with the US Constitution 50% of the time.

On October 25, 2023, with a vote of 220, Mike Johnson was elected Speaker of the House. He votes with the Constitution only 67% of the time.

Johnson calls himself a Constitutional attorney, yet he is a proponent of Mark Meckler’s Convention of States (CoS), which is heavily funded by the Koch organizations. As I’ve stated in past articles, the CoS is an Article V Constitutional Convention. Council on Foreign Relations and CoS board member, Robert George, has already rewritten the Second Amendment of our unalienable Bill of Rights. This deceitfully promoted convention is not simply to propose new amendments; it is to totally replace or change our founding document.

The House Republican majority is weakening. Since Mr. Johnson has become Speaker, Rep. George Santos has been expelled from Congress despite being “innocent until proven guilty.” The charges against him were brought by United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The House ousted Santos without a conviction or without having committed treason. Democrat Tom Suozzi replaced him.

McCarthy decided to leave the House at the end of December 2023.

The Republicans controlled the House with 221 Republicans to 213 Democrats, making them a majority, but now they’ve lost two. Rep. Matt Gaetz is again being investigated by the House Ethics Committee.

Should Gaetz be forced to resign, the House would precariously hold the majority by only five votes.

Hannity’s Interview with Speaker Johnson

In introducing the nation to the new speaker, the first hour of Sean Hannity’s interview was a one-on-one interview with Mike Johnson.

Johnson spoke about President Biden’s mental decline which is obvious to both Americans and foreign leaders.

He was asked what he believes, and commented that people need only open their Bibles to understand Mike Johnson.

He mentioned that both Chip Roy (R-TX) and Byron Donalds (R-FL) were working on plans for Continuing Resolutions (CRs) cutting spending by eight percent, securing the border and protecting our military and veterans. They’ve yet to come up with anything but “clean” CRs and have not even attempted a budget. Both Roy and Donalds support an Article V Constitutional Convention. (Roy actually nominated Donalds for Speaker.)

Speaker Johnson ended the first hour saying, “Look, this place is filled with people of good faith, deep conviction and they understand the necessity of working together.”

I don’t think so, Speaker Johnson.

His first bill, a $14.3 billion dollar aid package to Israel passed the House 213-200, but was shut down in the Senate and slammed by President Biden. Nice theatre though.

Johnson, who inherited the problem of a potential government shutdown when he was elected to the role after weeks of paralysis, saw 93 members of his conference in the Republican-controlled lower legislative chamber vote against his proposal. Almost all Democrats, 209 members, voted for the plan with two voting against it. Why did 93 Republicans vote against it? Because almost all “clean continuing resolutions” prolong government funding at current levels without any policy changes. They don’t want repeats of McCarthy’s CRs, they want changes made!

On February 29^th, the House passed another clean CR; 207 Democrats joined 113 Republicans in a 320-99 vote to approve the short-term stopgap measure, which buys Congress more time to agree on funding for the full fiscal year that began Oct. 1.

Again, nothing is in these CRs about the border! Do the American people realize what this is costing us? An illegal alien family of four can get government assistance to the tune of $20,000 a month. You read that right, $20,000 a month! Watch the eight- minute video!

The 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) bill passed on December 6^th, 2023. It does not overturn the Pentagon’s policy of reimbursing servicemembers who travel to obtain abortions, and it drops House language which would have blocked coverage of transition surgeries for transgender troops.

But there’s more….

Speaker Johnson tossed into the “must-pass” bill yet another extension of Section 702 of the FISA Act; it’s not surprising that he wanted to rush the bill through without the possibility of amendment. Section 702 allows the government to intercept and retain without a warrant the communications of any American who is in contact with a non-US citizen. It is clearly a violation of the Fourth Amendment which is supposed to protect Americans against unreasonable searches and seizures. The NDAA also contained a $600 million gift to the corrupt government of Ukraine. Senate votes. House votes.

By a vote of 250 to 180, the House voted against the legislation that would send $17.6 billion to Israel, with 166 Democrats and 14 Republicans opposing the measure. It fell short because it was introduced under an expedited procedure requiring a two-thirds majority for passage. The vote was largely along party lines, although 14 Republicans opposed the bill and 46 Democrats supported it.

In the first vote to impeach DHS Mayorkas, four republicans voted against the impeachment. One wonders why Johnson called a vote if he didn’t know that Ken Buck (R-CO), Tom McClintock (R-CA), Blake Moore (R-UT) and Mike Gallagher (R-WI) would vote against it.

In the second vote, Blake Moore switched, bringing the vote to 214-213 for Mayorkas’ impeachment. Doesn’t say much for the 213 who voted against impeachment of the man who is allowing America’s invasion from China and third world countries.

The only Palestinian member of Congress, Rashida Tlaib, was censored for her anti-Semitic rhetoric by House Republicans and Democrats with a vote of 234-188. The punishment is one step below expulsion from the House. She should have been ousted like Santos. She’s a Hamas Trojan Horse.

Second Hour Interview

In the second hour of the Hannity interview, House Republicans were brought in and a number of them spoke about various topics. Steve Scalise (R-LA), Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Tom Emmer (R-MN) are seated next to Speaker Johnson. Scalise votes with the Constitution 67% of the time, Stefanik 60% and Emmer 70%.

They conversed about border security, Biden and his son, Hunter, energy independence, fiscal sanity, law and order, the rule of law and moral clarity. Hannity asked them about the prospect of domestic terrorism with an open border, the purported weaponization of government, as well as the cognitive state of Joe Biden.

Elise Stefanik is a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum, as are other House Republicans. On February 17^th, I received a form letter from Speaker Johnson. He requested that we help his loyal friend, Elise Stefanik win her re-election, as she knows exactly what is at stake in 2024.

Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Byron Donalds (R-FL) were also featured with Speaker Johnson. Lawler votes with the Constitution only 35% of the time. As for Byron Donalds, he’s no friend of liberty and freedom.

Donalds, has been working with the Democrats to advance digital currency. At the Collier County Republican Men’s breakfast in July of 2022, Byron Donalds said, “The Democrats have promised it will never be used for tracking law abiding citizens.”

Is he naive or one of them? The Stalinist Democrat Party is who put J6ers in prison. It is why Speaker Johnson courageously blurred the faces of people at the Capitol on January 6^th on the portions of the videos released.

However, only .04% of the videos are available to the public. The House January 6^th Committee deleted more than 100 encrypted files days before GOP took majority. Totally unconstitutional, but then consider who was on the committee. Johnson is allegedly trying to have those files decrypted.

In October of 2022, at Alfie Oakes’ Seed to Table, another public meeting was held where Donalds again was promoting digital currency. Alfie Oakes is also promoting the destruction of our 1787 Constitution by advocating an Article V Convention, just like Byron Donalds, Ron DeSantis and Mike Johnson.

Donalds is also tied to Americans for Prosperity, a Koch organization, who are for open borders, gay marriage, abortion and UN Agenda 21/30. Link, Link. They are also funding and promoting another Constitutional Convention, just like Soros’ Open Society foundations.

A few years ago, Byron’s wife allegedly tried to do a hostile takeover of Mason Classical Academy. There’s a lot of bitterness in the community because they wanted to run the charter school, Mason Classical Academy, which has one of the top ratings in the country. They did not conceive of the charter school, but had, at one time, been on the board. Kelly Lichter and her husband Nick were the founders. As a state Representative, Byron tried to write bills to make it easier for his wife to accomplish the takeover.

At a Republican Executive Committee meeting a few months ago, Donalds and his top staff member, Larry Wilcoxson, tried to start a public argument and disagreement with Kelly Lichter. They were backing her leftist opponent. Tensions boiled to such a point that Florida Politics reported it. A video lasting two minutes and 19 seconds mostly shows Donalds, with staffers Jesse Purdon and Larry Wilcoxson, speaking inaudibly with Lichter in a corner of the store.

Larry Wilcoxson allegedly takes home a six-figure salary. He is the top aide to Donalds and is his best friend.

Wilcoxson has been arrested multiple times including for child molestation. Link

He was arrested in 2014 for grand theft auto, a third-degree felony. In 2006, he was charged with three counts of child molestation of a 13-year-old girl in Indianapolis, Indiana. In 2008, Wilcoxson was arrested for charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and aggravated battery with a weapon. He had previously been fired for allegedly exposing himself to a female school custodian at Indianapolis’ Donnan Middle School while he was a substitute teacher. In 2006, Collier County records indicate Wilcoxson was the defendant in several traffic cases and a paternity suit.

Many of the family grassroots leaders call this man, Wilcoxson, “Byron’s thug.” Before anyone backs Byron, they need to do their homework, and that includes Donald Trump.

Why choose the neo-con Trotskyites, the WEF members, and the likes of Byron Donalds to speak with Hannity as top Republicans? Why weren’t true conservative House members like Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Eli Crane (R-AZ), Matt Rosendale (R-MT), Clay Higgins (R-LA), Thomas Massey (R-KY) and a few others featured with Johnson?

Unspoken Issues

The invasion at the southern border should be at the top of concerns, yet everything but the border has been discussed. Four months has passed since Johnson became speaker, and the border is still wide open. The filth flowing into our country will vote in the November elections, and the increase in crime is already obvious. Ten million illegal aliens have entered our country under Joe Biden, including Chinese communists, Middle East terrorists, and criminals from third world nations. It is the Cloward-Piven Marxist strategy to overload the system and collapse the economy.

There was no mention of the alleged 2020 election fraud, the J6 prisoners, the January 6^th videos being totally released, how they will succeed in closing the border, health care, our military, the perversion in education, how deeply they will cut spending, who those cuts will impact, and the massive debt.

Donald Trump’s name was never mentioned.

Neither was abortion.

Speaker Johnson had killed the abortion ban in Louisiana in 2022 while serving as US Congressman. Pastors Jeff Durbin and Brian Gunter discussed exactly how Johnson killed the pro-life bill that would have banned abortion in Louisiana.

You’ll want to see the 26-minute video between these two pastors and how disappointed they were.

Pastor Gunter called Johnson’s tactics, “Pragmatism rather than principle.”

All the national, state and local pro-life groups were against this bill, HB813. (Loss of Louisiana funding?) Mike told Pastors Durbin and Gunter that he agreed with the bill, but it was the wrong time to pass the legislation since they have a razor-thin majority in the US Congress, the Louisiana state house and the Governorship. That was his excuse. The Pastors asked, “Is there ever a wrong time to do the right thing?” Amos 5:15, “Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.” Congressman Johnson threatened these Baptist pastors that if they moved forward with this bill, it would damage their careers.

We are 34.4 trillion dollars in debt and the interest payments on that debt dwarfs all other government spending!

A crash will be inevitable. U.S. National Debt Clock: Real Time (USDebtClock.org)

There is no more time for “business as usual.”

Now Is the Time for Texas to Seek a Writ of Prohibition

By Edwin Vieira, JD

March 5, 2024

The on-going conflict between the State of Texas and the Biden Administration over whether that State is entitled, on her own behalf and with her own resources, to repel the invasion of illegal aliens now flooding across her borders (and then advancing throughout the remaining several States) raises an host of constitutional conundra which Texas, the Administration, and the lower levels of the National Judiciary seem to comprehend only vaguely. One of these is whether the United States District Court and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit — two of the “Tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court” which the Constitution empowers Congress “[t]o constitute” (Article I, Section 8, Clause 9) — are authorized to exercise any of “[t]he judicial Power of the United States” (Article III, Section 1) in this particular matter, or in fact can claim no such “Power” (that is, “jurisdiction”) at all.

The authority of the State of Texas in the premises is beyond rational dispute. Article I, Section 10, Clause 3 provides (in pertinent part) that “[n]o State shall, without the Consent of Congress, * * * keep Troops * * * in time of Peace, * * * or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay”. Plainly, this imports that each and every State may “engage in War[ when] actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay”, and may “keep Troops * * * in [such] time of [War]”, “without the Consent of Congress” and therefore not subject to the absence of such “Consent” or to the “[Dis]sent of Congress” — howsoever Congress might attempt to withhold its “Consent” or to express its “[Dis]sent”. Unlike the somewhat vague reservation of undefined powers to the States within the Tenth Amendment, this power is reserved in the original Constitution to each and every State in explicit and unmistakable, indeed emphatic, language.

Precisely because this power is explicitly reserved to the States in the original Constitution, it cannot be nullified, negated, overridden, abridged, infringed upon, or otherwise impaired in its exercise by the exercise of any power the Constitution delegates to Congress. For all constitutional powers are of equal dignity. None is supreme over or superior to any other. Each must be exercised in harmony with all of the others. In this regard, Congress is not superior to the States, and the States are not superior to Congress, but each is situated on the selfsame constitutional plane.

For this reason, the statutes which Congress has enacted (or perhaps will enact) with respect to immigration and control of the National borders (pursuant, say, to its powers “[t]o establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization”, “[t]o regulate Commerce with foreign Nations”, and “[t]o make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof”, under Article I, Section 8, Clauses 4, 3, and 18) cannot interfere with the constitutional power of the States under Article I, Section 10, Clause 3. Certainly the so-called “Supremacy Clause” (Article VI, Clause 2), upon which the Biden Administration sets such unjustifiable store, can have no effect whatsoever. That Clause provides (in pertinent part) that “[t]his Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof * * * shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding”. Self-evidently, the “supremacy” being invoked on behalf of “the Laws of the United States” is over “the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary” — not some fictional, indeed logically and legally self-contradictory, “supremacy” of one provision of the Constitution of the United States over another provision of the selfsame Constitution. In short, the Supremacy Clause is irrelevant to matters arising under Article I, Section 10, Clause 3; and anyone contending otherwise is simply constitutionally illiterate (or astride some ideological hobbyhorse).

Now the peculiarity of the present situation, unknown in the tortuous course of constitutional law heretofore (as far as the present author is aware), is that both of the “Tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court” with which Texas is now enmeshed in the toils of litigation are the mere statutory creatures of Congress. Neither of them has independent and self-sufficient constitutional provenance, existence, recognition, or authority of any sort. That being so, at least arguable is that these “Tribunals” neither enjoy authority of their own, nor can claim authority from Congress, either to withhold “Consent” or to “[Dis]sent” from the exercise by Texas of the powers explicitly reserved to her in Article I, Section 10, Clause 3. Surely the Constitution affords these “Tribunals” no such authority directly, and Congress cannot delegate any such authority to them, because Congress itself enjoys no authority either to “Consent” (which option is irrelevant), or (conversely) to withhold “Consent” or express “[Dis]sent” (which alternatives are prohibited), with respect to the exercise by Texas of those powers. Thus, these “Tribunals” can claim no “jurisdiction” whatsoever in the premises, from any constitutional source, directly or indirectly. Therefore, they cannot issue any purported “judgements”, “rulings”, “orders”, decisions”, and so on in any litigation supposedly involving Texas (or any other State similarly situated) which arises under the “keep[ing] Troops” and “engag[ing] in War” provisions of Article I, Section 10, Clause 3.

So, what is to be done? The most direct course would be for Texas to present “a suggestion concerning absence of jurisdiction” to both the District Court and the Court of Appeals, respectfully but firmly requesting their recognition of their lack of jurisdiction. (A litigant can always bring to a court’s attention the court’s lack of jurisdiction, at any stage of the proceedings.) Simultaneously, Texas should file with the Supreme Court of the United States an emergency petition for an extraordinary writ in the nature of prohibition, to compel these lower courts to cease and desist from their improvident exercises of nonexistent jurisdiction, if they fail to do so on their own sua sponte.

This would not leave unaddressed the constitutional questions arising out of the State’s assertion of her powers under Article I, Section 10, Clause 3. No, indeed. For the United States (or some officers thereof) could sue Texas, or Texas could sue the United States (or some officers thereof), with respect to those issues in the “original Jurisdiction” of the Supreme Court, because any such suit would be a “Case[ ] * * * in which a State shall be a Party” (Article III, Section 2, Clause 2). This, of course, is precisely the venue in which all weighty matters of constitutional first principles involving the States should be heard — especially in this “Case[ ]”, given that it brings to the fore questions of constitutionally reserved State sovereignty stemming from no less than the Declaration of Independence itself, wherein the thirteen original “Free and Independent States” assumed for themselves (and for all other States later confederating with them) “full Power to levy War”, a power not relinquished outright in the Constitution, but only qualified in Article I, Section 10, Clause 3.

To be sure, the Supreme Court might attempt to evade its plain constitutional responsibility to hear such a “Case[ ]”, by invoking a supposed privilege to refuse to exercise its “original Jurisdiction” (as it did in the “Case[ ]” which Texas brought, raising the issue of voting irregularities in the 2020 Presidential election). One can hope that the well of judicial dereliction of duty is not so deep that two buckets of everlasting shame can be drawn from it in such a short span of time.

Whatever the Supreme Court might or might not do, it would behoove Texas to follow this course of action in order to bring to the public’s attention, in the sharpest focus possible, exactly how extremely serious constitutionally (as well as politically, economically, and socially) the invasion of this country by illegal aliens actually is. As always in matters of such grave consequence, time is running out. Pussy-footing around is no longer an option, if it ever was one.

Free Will and the Symphony of Being

By: Amil Imani

March 5, 2024

The human spirit yearns for a singular, defining element, a force that separates mere existence from vibrant being. This element, this lifeblood of the soul, is the coveted and enigmatic quality known as free will. It is not simply the freedom to choose but the transcendent freedom to choose who we become, a symphony of possibility conducted by the unyielding maestro of our consciousness. It is the divine gift bestowed upon us, granting the ability to chart our own course, carve our destiny, and sculpt our reality according to the dictates of our deepest desires and aspirations.

Free will is the defiant flicker of individuality against the relentless backdrop of determinism. The sculptor carves purpose from the raw marble of circumstance, weaving a unique narrative from the threads of experience. It is the alchemist, transforming the base metals of circumstance into the gleaming gold of personal destiny. Free Will is the beacon of light that illuminates the path of our existence. It is the essence of our sovereignty as sentient beings, empowering us to navigate the labyrinth of life with courage, conviction, and unwavering resolve.

This potent cocktail of choice and consequence is the crucible in which the human spirit is forged. It is the canvas upon which we paint the strokes of our character, the chisel that shapes the contours of our personality. Free Will is the catalyst for transformation, the catalyst for evolution, and the catalyst for growth. Through the exercise of free will, we become not only the subjects of our lives but also the authors, etching an indelible mark on the fabric of existence.

But free will is not a solo performance. It thrives in the vibrant interplay of individual choices and the collective symphony of humanity. Our choices, whether grand gestures or seemingly minute decisions, ripple outwards, impacting the lives of those around us. This interconnectedness fosters a sense of responsibility, reminding us that our freedom is inextricably linked to the choices of others. It compels us to consider the potential consequences of our actions, not just on ourselves but on the intricate dance of life unfolding around us.

However, the power of free will is not without its shadow. With freedom comes great responsibility, and the burden of choice can be heavy. Navigating the maze of possibilities, confronting the uncertainty of the unknown, and accepting the consequences of our decisions can be daunting. This is where the delicate balance between freedom and responsibility lies.

The responsibility is to wield our power wisely, make choices that align with our highest good, and honor the sacred trust bestowed upon us by the universe. It is a solemn duty, a sacred obligation, and a sacred duty; for great power comes great responsibility.

Free will does not absolve us of the impact of external forces, nor does it promise a world devoid of hardship. It grants us the power to acknowledge these forces and choose how we respond. It empowers us to rise above the limitations imposed by circumstance and become architects of our own destiny.

The true power of free will, however, lies not solely in shaping our individual lives but in its collective potential. When individuals, empowered by free will, unite in a shared vision, mountains can be moved. From dismantling oppressive regimes to pursuing scientific breakthroughs, the collective exercise of free will has propelled humanity towards progress and betterment.

Yet, the very essence of free will also presents a potential pitfall. Unbridled individualism can morph into unbridled self-interest, undermining the very fabric of a collective society. Recognizing this, it becomes imperative to cultivate a sense of shared responsibility, where individual freedom finds its true expression in contributing to the greater good.

Ultimately, free will is not a static state but a dynamic process. It is a journey of self-discovery, a continuous wrestling with the complexities of existence, and a relentless pursuit of personal evolution. It is the fire within, the insatiable thirst for knowledge, the relentless pursuit of growth. It is the essence of what makes us human – the unique ability to choose, evolve, and forge our path in the grand tapestry of existence.

Free will is a gift, and it is a responsibility, too. It demands courage, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to shaping our individual lives and the collective song of humanity. It is a journey, not a destination, a continuous pursuit of becoming, not merely being. As we celebrate the power of free will, let us remember the responsibility it embodies and strive to use it not just for personal gain but for the betterment of society and for the flourishing of life itself.

The Transportation Highway to Dystopia

by Kathleen Marquardt

March 4, 2024

Last year, the Environmental Protection Agency allocated $3 million for Tennessee to develop its first-ever climate plan through a Climate Pollution Reduction Planning Grant, which was established by the Inflation Reduction Act. The plan is to be divided into two parts and done over four years: the Priority Climate Action Plan and the Comprehensive Climate Action Plan.

But this plan is not just for Tennessee, it is for every state. Multiple departments of the federal government have put this plan together, and they certainly aren’t about to write a different one for other states. Look into your local general plan, and you might just see these edicts spelled out there.

The agency will create an inventory of the state’s biggest climate offenders — and then draft a plan to cut that pollution statewide.

Below (in italics and blue print and quotes) is the Executive Summary from THE U.S. NATIONAL BLUEPRINT FOR TRANSPORTATION DECARBONIZATION. “The Long-Term Strategy published by the White House in 2021 calls for an 80-100% reduction in transportation emissions by 2050.” [1] My comments are in black regular print. This is long-ish, but worth the read. It is, or will be, in every state of the Union.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

“The transportation sector is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, responsible for one-third of all emissions. To address the growing climate crisis, and to meet the goal of net-zero GHG emissions economy-wide by 2050, it is critical to decarbonize transportation by eliminating nearly all GHG emissions from the sector.“

Here is an excellent explanation of why net-zero is impossible and stupid. [2]

“As our transportation system and communities are increasingly threatened by worsening climate impacts such as hurricanes, wildfires, flooding, heatwaves, and drought, decarbonizing the sector is essential to addressing this existential crisis.”

Not one of those scares is true. And, the “decarbonizing“ plan is total nonsense being used to scare us into falling for their plans that are designed to bankrupt our states and country, — as well as us individuals.

“The recently enacted Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) together represent historic investments in the future of our nation that will transform how we move and live while we build the backbone of a safer and more sustainable transportation system.

“This Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization follows the momentum from those investments to crystallize a first-of-its-kind strategy for federal leadership and partnerships to decarbonize the entire U.S. transportation sector. Decarbonizing transportation will affect everyone, and solutions must address the needs of all urban, suburban, and rural communities; businesses of all sizes; and individuals and families at every socioeconomic level. The scope, scale, and speed of the shift will continue to require solutions that leverage market forces and private sector investments, which government policies and investments should jumpstart and guide.”

The above statement is the plan, upfront and basic.

♦ “Transform how we move” means we will be walking, biking, or taking public transportation (as far as allowed).
♦ “Where we live” means we will be herded into 15-Minute Cities, where the powers-that-be can control our every move (and soon even our thoughts).
♦ “while we build the backbone of a safer and more sustainable transportation system. . .” which means the lowest-common denominators of transportation – walking, biking, and riding a bus on the few outings a year we are allowed to step out of our 15-Minute city. Says so right below.
♦ with the winter storm we just experienced at Christmas, we see how well those Electric Vehicles (mentioned below) that we are supposed to be transferring to in order to make the far more practical gas-guzzling vehicles obsolete.

“Decarbonizing the transportation sector will require multiple strategies and resources to deliver clean, safe, secure, accessible, affordable, and equitable solutions to existing and emerging challenges. Working with partners to enhance land-use planning will tackle the problem at the root and make it appealing and practical for people to take fewer or shorter trips, or to walk or bike on those trips where that is feasible. Implementing large investments in rail, public transportation, and safe active transportation infrastructure will give people the option to safely use more energy-efficient forms of transportation. And, thanks to significant strides in research, development, and demonstration (RD&D), technologies to decarbonize most transportation systems are within sight and offer realistic and viable pathways. The electrification of cars, trucks, and buses and providing the necessary infrastructure to charge them is underway and must accelerate.

“Given different applications and requirements, decarbonizing the entire transportation sector will require a diverse portfolio of solutions and technologies. This Blueprint focuses on those solutions that are viable and have sufficient resources to scale. Additional RD&D will be needed to further improve certain solutions and reduce costs, but progress and demonstration of promising technologies is well underway. COORDINATION IS NEEDED Implementing a holistic decarbonization strategy will require coordinated actions from federal, regional, state, local, and Tribal governments; nonprofit and philanthropic organizations; and private industries.

“Increase Collaboration: Create and support collaborative programs that leverage the combined expertise of DOE, DOT, EPA, HUD, and other federal 4 THE U.S. NATIONAL BLUEPRINT FOR TRANSPORTATION DECARBONIZATION partners, and expand the federal government’s partnerships with regional, state, local, and Tribal governments; private industry; community-based organizations; and other stakeholders. • Establish U.S. Leadership: Position the U.S. to lead the global race to clean transportation solutions, creating well-paying domestic jobs, strengthening U.S. energy independence and security, and developing robust and sustainable new domestic and international supply chains for clean transportation technologies.

“IMMEDIATE ACTIONS AND LONG-TERM PLANNING Implementing immediate strategies that achieve meaningful emissions reductions this decade is essential to reaching our nation’s 2030 emissions reduction goals in line with the president’s commitment and the U.S. Nationally Determined Contribution under the Paris Agreement. We must work concurrently to develop solutions that will result in full economy-wide decarbonization by midcentury. This Blueprint provides a comprehensive, system-level perspective of the entire transportation system across all passenger and freight travel modes and fuels, and lays out three key strategies to achieve decarbonization:

“Increase convenience by supporting community design and land-use planning at the local and regional levels that ensure that job centers, shopping, schools, entertainment, and essential services are strategically located near where people live to reduce commute burdens, improve walkability and bikeability, and improve quality of life… …Because every hour we don’t spend sitting in traffic is an hour we can spend focused on the things and the people we love, all while reducing GHG emissions. 2. Improve efficiency by expanding affordable, accessible, efficient, and reliable options like public transportation and rail, and improving the efficiency of all vehicles… …Because everyone deserves efficient transportation options that will allow them to move around affordably and safely, and because consuming less energy as we move saves money, strengthens our national security, and reduces GHG emissions. 3. Transition to clean options by deploying zero-emission vehicles and fuels for cars, commercial trucks, transit, boats, airplanes, and more… …Because no one should be exposed to air pollution in their community or on their ride to school or work and eliminating GHG emissions from transportation is imperative to tackle the climate crisis.”

How they want us to accept being useful idiots, trapped in stack ‘n’ pack housing (the Ideal Communist City) [3] through “form-based codes” [4] (earlier Sustainable Development tactics).

“• Policy and Regulation: The federal government, along with regional, state, local, and Tribal governments, and with international partners and allies, can use a variety of policy and regulatory levers, including long-term planning, standards, and coordinated procurement to support decarbonization of the transportation sector.”

Here we are at Public/Private Partnerships. [5] The reinventing government that took control out of the hands of “we the people”, and put it in the hands of the Deep State/Military Industrial Complex, along with the Global Elites and their tools the U.N. NGOs. These are also called Stakeholders – the people and their corporations that have no connection whatsoever to those they are reputed to represent –us!

“Stakeholder Engagement and Public-Private Partnerships: Stakeholder engagement that ensures representation from traditionally underrepresented, overburdened, and underserved communities across all the proposed strategies in this Blueprint will be essential to achieving an equitable transportation future. Partnerships among regional, state, local, and Tribal governments, with disadvantaged communities, the private sector, and philanthropic organizations, will also be critical. All levels of government need to align their efforts and work with private industry and community stakeholders to support sustained and targeted actions. A CALL TO ACTION This Blueprint, which is an important step toward a decarbonized transportation future, will be followed by more detailed decarbonization Action Plans. The agencies will develop and implement the Action Plans and will work with other federal agencies, governments at the regional, state, local, and Tribal levels, philanthropic organizations, the private sector, and with global partners to achieve the following milestones:”

And we can’t overlook the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion or so-called Social Justice because all of this is to make certain that we aren’t dumping all of the Climate Change/Global Warming on certain communities. But not to worry, we non-elites will all be poor and starving and have no dreams of traveling to exotic locations – or even to the next county to see a cousin.

“Climate strategies must also help communities fulfill their equity and environmental justice responsibilities. Overburdened and historically underserved communities continue to bear the economic and health burdens of higher emissions, noise, and worsened air quality, and it is critical that these communities are not left behind in the transition to a decarbonized economy, as called for in the President’s Justice40 Initiative (see textbox on page 16). Strategies that combat the climate crisis have the ability to strengthen all communities and ensure that infrastructure investments will address current and future needs and avoid the unequal impacts of the past. Moreover, we must ensure that our investments in low-carbon solutions build resilience to the impacts of climate change that disproportionately affect some communities. Building a clean, safe, secure, accessible, affordable, equitable, and decarbonized transportation system will ultimately deliver significant co-benefits to all communities.”

Just to be sure every possibly sensible use of so-called fossil fuels, or non-bug farming isn’t happening, “the strategies themselves will continue to be influenced by evolving macroeconomic trends, technological progress, behavioral changes, and other factors.” Yep, there will be no moral compasses allowed, and thus no property or other rights.

“Many aspects of consumer decisions and business actions will shape the strategies in this Blueprint, and the strategies themselves will continue to be influenced by evolving macroeconomic trends, technological progress, behavioral changes, and other factors. Therefore, this Blueprint should not be viewed as static. To effectively address the climate crisis, we must be able to adjust course and act quickly to meet the decarbonization goals outlined here. With the resources available in the BIL and the IRA, a path to achieving our climate goals and avoiding climate catastrophe is clearer than ever. But realizing these goals and doing so in a way that maximizes equity and environmental justice will require careful planning and decisive coordinated actions. Our agencies are committed to meeting our nation’s goals, and we call on other stakeholders to help us. Success will require unprecedented coordination among every level of government, private industry, community-based organizations, stakeholder groups, and all Americans. Decarbonizing our transportation sector is achievable, and the benefits will improve the lives of Americans for generations to come. The time to act is now.”

Amen. The time to act is now! Or the above description of a dystopian world will be the one we are living in.

The Tragic Silence From Our Pulpits

By Kat Stansell

March 4, 2024

How can our religious leaders live with themselves today?

Organized Religion Needs To Reconnect With Their God

Once it was thought that pastors, priests, and church leaders were the epitomy of goodness and grace. Over time, though, congregants have come to allow themselves to be led, not by the Bible, but by the earthly presence of folks behind the lectern, and those folk have strayed.

Of course, religious people DO study their bibles, the words of the Lord they worship, Somehow, though, most have missed the main, grevious shift of their churches over the last decades, as the leaders turned to preaching the SOCIAL GOSPEL, instead of the Lord’s. Most simply avoid any kind of political involvement, and it’s too late for any other kind.

Examples abound, from Catholicism (with their Marxist Pope), to Episcopalian, Methodist, and even Southern Baptist, as they have turned and bowed toward darkness. Here’s one from 2019 and the Southern Baptist Conference annual meeting, the “fundamentalists” whom folks often suspect least/trust the most.

Essentially, that means that religious organizations and their followers are listening to the STATE, not to God. With the state, as obviously worshipping Lucifer as they are today, it is almost uncanny that so many religious leaders still turn away from social action, against the State, and the fallen angel who leads them. Or has the Church been captured by the Dark Side? Dear God, I pray not.

Possibly it IS the organized side of religion that has been captured. What is in each man’s soul, though, can never be had. Challenge your church, or form your own group…it’s up to you. Just please don’t be turned by the siren song of the damned.

NO, I’m not a preacher, and NO, I don’t even go regularly to worship under “the roof”. Long ago, I built a relationship with my God to try my best to LIVE his word, and not be bound by scheduled dictates. Even the “work of the church” has turned me off in these last years. Catholic Charities’ role in drug and child-trafficking centers is one of those.

There are many more, but I promised to keep this sermon short, so I’ll let you look those up yourselves. Or you may already know…

As a child I had a long string of perfect attendance pins from Sunday School. I still have them, and occasionally pull them out and think of how many of the successive years I might have earned a sort of “directional” perfect attendance. Hope and pray it was a lot.

The message I’m trying to put forth is that, standing with God can take many many different forms, as long as the basics are there in your life…. you know… JOY. My mom taught me the meaning of those words decades ago Put Jesus first, then Others, then Yourself, and you will know real JOY. Lord knows, she was a whole lot better at it than I am, but I try, and that is what it is all about. Trying.

I’d love to see more organized religion turn back to the Lord’s Gospel, and become actively involved. After all, God’s Son overturned the tables of the money changers in the Temple. It’s the least we can do to help our nation.

Will America Survive Multiculturalism and Diversity?

By Frosty Wooldridge

March 4, 2024

Political angst of one half of America’s liberals against the other half of America’s conservatives may be the final wrecking ball to our republic. One look at Congress shows you none of them get along, none of them work together and none of them benefit average Americans. In fact, the Congress of the United States remains in gridlock most of the time.

They can’t or won’t solve our $34 trillion national debt. Why? They’re the ones that put us into that debt. They won’t stop the invasion of our borders. Why? Because they invited the illegal alien invasion along with Biden over the past 38 months. They won’t solve homelessness, but instead, have added 11 million illegal aliens—homeless in the past 37 months. They spend billions of our tax dollars on Ukraine and Israel’s borders, but allow criminals to kill our citizens such as the latest death of Laken Riley. Why? Because they don’t give a damned about average Americans who pay their salaries. And some of them, like Maxine Waters and Alexandra Ocasio Cortez, are as dumb as a box of rocks! The people who voted them into the House of Representatives are just as dumb!

We are watching the most incredible “disconnect” of politicians and citizens in American history.

If you look at Joe Reid of MSNBC, you would think that white American citizens represent the most evil and racist people on Earth. You get the same from Whoopi Goldberg in “The View” daily. If you ask any Black Lives Matter leaders, they want reparations for slavery when none of them were ever slaves. If you look at the growing Muslim numbers in America, now about 4,000,000 plus, you will find that they don’t want anything to do with America’s Constitution because they answer only to Sharia Law in the Qur’an.

Have you ever seen any of those reporters asking simple questions of average Americans on the street? If you have, you would see some of the dumbest Americans of every race, creed and color. We’re talking American citizens who don’t know the first president of the United States. They don’t know the names of their two U.S. Senators. Less than five percent know the name of their House member. Half of Americans don’t vote in national elections and 90 percent don’t vote in local elections.

A stunning 40 to 50 million suffer functional illiteracy. “In 2014, reports indicated that 18% of US adults (approximately 57.4 million people) are functionally illiterate. Other sources indicate that up to 90 million US adults lack basic literacy skills.”

That tells you why we face over 500,000 homeless Americans. That shows you why we feed 42 million people on food stamps (EBT, SNAP benefits). That shows you why our inner cities are turning into intractable ghettos. (Source: www.NPR.org, August 22, 2021)

That’s tells you why we have 2.3 million poorly educated people living in our prisons. That’s at a cost of $65,000.00 annually per prisoner to feed, warm, bath and care for each one.

On top of all that mess, which is the tip of the iceberg, Biden just imported 11 million illegal homeless aliens into our cities. WITH NO SOLUTIONS! Not one “Sanctuary City” has come up with any workable solutions! Except they want your tax dollars!

What About Multiculturalism and Diversity?

Do they ever mix baboons, chimps, and gorillas into the same cages in a zoo? Answer: no! Why? Because they would tear each other to pieces. Why? They are all from the same “ape” family, but such animals don’t get along. Would they ever put tigers, lions and cheetahs in the same caging area? Answer: no! Why? They would tear each other to pieces. But they are members of the “cat” family. Sorry, Mother Nature does not tolerate diversity or multiculturalism in close quarters.

Right now, America’s leaders are mixing every kind of human incompatibility, every religious incompatibility and every kind of racial incompatibility into this limited landmass of the United States of America. If you look at those incompatibilities on the world stage—-you see conflict, war, massive killings and total chaos, i.e., Ukraine, Israel-Hamas, Sudan, et al. It’s mixing 68 IQ’d people from Africa into the classrooms of America’s average of 97 IQ’s. It’s mixing violent religions such as Islam right next to Jewish and Christian communities. It’s mixing millions of people with “world views” that lack any kind of compatibility with the American Way of Life.

What does that mean for the future of America? We now have an average of 25 honor killings in the USA annually according to the Department of Homeland Security. We have over 2.0 million women with female genital mutilation which is assault and battery against a young female child. We have dozens if not hundreds of murders by guns, knives and drugs weekly in America.

We’ve got 100,000 drug overdoses annually in the USA…and that number will continue to climb. We’ve got $100 billion in shoplifting. We’ve got 40,000 car accidents with half of them from alcohol, stoners and texting, annually.

Not a news report goes by that “racism” rises to the top of the broadcast and who is to blame? Answer: you, if you’re white.

Each year, America imports 1,000,000 legal immigrants into this country with NO IDEA OF THE FINAL RESULT. Within the past 38 months, Biden imported 11 million illegals into our country, with another 2 to 4 million coming during 2024…from 150 different countries.

Does anyone understand that we’re in the middle of a “human chemistry laboratory” with volatile human mixtures being forced to co-exist while our water, energy, food, resources and cities are decaying and being exhausted beyond comprehension? Does anyone understand that you cannot mix incompatible religions, races, IQ’s and world views into the same country without utter and complete breakdown of our society? Does anyone understand that we’re in the process of adding 100 million more people, net gain by 2050?

Will our culture survive? Will our way of life survive? Will our country survive? What’s your take? My take? I don’t think we stand a snowball’s chance in hell of surviving this invasion, both legal and illegal refugees. Whether you’re a liberal, independent or conservative, how can you disagree with what we face?

The Storm Is Here – Don’t Panic, Get Involved

By Dr. Mike Spaulding

March 3, 2024

“Truth will ultimately prevail where pains are taken to bring it to light.” —George Washington

We are living in unprecedented times. America appears to be imploding. The once strong moral and social fabric of American society has become threadbare and is showing serious signs of tearing apart. How did this happen? How did this happen seemingly “overnight”?

Answering the first question is easy. America is in the position that it is because evil has been allowed to permeate every facet of our government, civic, and social institutions, and has propagandized a critical mass of Americans.

The intentional removal of American civics from the classroom, the obfuscation of the responsibilities of every citizen in this Constitutional Republic, and a state-controlled media has resulted in a population of extremely mis and disinformed people who unwittingly advocate for their own demise. Freedom and liberty are on life-support because most Americans are fixated on themselves, their pleasures, their material prosperity, and their comforts and lusts (James 4:1-4). Too many Americans are averse to any type of sacrifice, service for others, or upholding the truth of foundational principles of right and wrong. Live and let live is a sure recipe for death. Living your life while watching other people destroy theirs, as well as those close to them, is not compassion and mercy. It is shameful indifference and worse. That is what we are seeing right now in America.

The answer to the second question, “How did this happen seemingly overnight,” is that it did not happen overnight. It has been a slow and deliberate strategy to undermine American exceptionalism by methodically undermining what made her strong, to begin with, an adherence to Judeo-Christian principles and truth. A nation that was established to be that city on a hill, shining the Gospel light to the entire world, once lived up to that divine mantle. But, alas, the light has been slowly dimmed such that today, other nations send missionaries to America!

America has a dual personality. The rest of the world sees America as either that place where dreams come true, the fabled land of freedom and liberty, or as an enemy that foments wars and the inevitable consequences of war such as destroyed economies, poverty, disease, and years of tragic turmoil trying to rebuild lives after the Americans leave. Most Americans only see the former. I was reminded of this dual personality once again in a book I recently read. In Dallas ’63: The First Deep State Revolt Against the White House,[1] author Peter Dale Scott alerts readers to the true nature of America.

The massive projection of U.S. wealth and power abroad has produced a massive increase of covert unchecked power in Washington, to the extent that we now have what the journalists Dana Priest and William Arkin have called: two governments: the one its citizens were familiar with, operated more or less in the open: the other a parallel top-secret government whose parts had mushroomed in less than a decade into a gigantic, sprawling universe of its own, visible to only a carefully vetted cadre – and its entirety…visible only to God.

The power of the public state is based on the constitution and periodic elections and is thus limited by checks and balances. The power of the covert deep state, in contrast, is unchecked and has expanded as the global U.S. presence has expanded. The two kinds of power were destined to come into conflict. The public state aims at openness and persuasion. The deep state represents the opposite, intervention by secrecy and violence. (pp.5-7)

What we are seeing today in America is the clash of two worldviews of two distinct aims and goals for the nation of America and indeed, for the world. Behind the secrecy and domination through violence is the deep state, composed of various organizations and individuals who collectively have one common goal – control the world and increase their personal wealth regardless of the cost to anyone else. These individuals and organizations are composed of well-known individuals, business people, heads of major global corporations, politicians, historically wealthy families, central banking cartels, media conglomerates, and of course, various religious factions.

I will not go into greater detail than that here. That work is left for you to do. The information is available in abundance for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. (Luke 10:23). Do not be the person who is critical of revealed truth when you have never bothered to verify anything. The Bible says God’s people perish because they have a lack of knowledge. There is a serious lack of not only biblical knowledge but of knowledge concerning the reality of the world we live in. America is in the throes of death precisely because Americans have allowed the God-haters and America-haters to thrive and press their ungodly views upon everyone else.

Even in the midst of this current struggle I have hope. I have hope because I believe that what is right will prevail even in this dark hour. I have hope because I do not believe God is done with America yet. I have hope because I know of many Americans who have been awakened from their slumbers and understand the times in which we live demand a swift and pronounced opposition to what the deep state desires to do to us all. But most importantly, I have hope rooted in the Lord Jesus Christ, who has already won the greatest victory over any and every deep state and those individuals and organizations that empower them. I have hope that the true church of the Lord Jesus Christ will rise up and make this our finest hour in America.

Will you join me in this struggle? I am praying for God’s mercy. We may be under the judgment of God, or we may simply be reaping the fruit of our own failure to be the moral compass for America. Regardless of which it is, we are not free to sit back and do nothing.

You cannot sit it out. It is here and it will touch every community large or small. There will be no standing on the sidelines observing this war. If America is to survive every man and woman who loves America in spite of its blemishes, must invest themselves in this struggle. I hope one day I will be able to say to my grandchildren, I did all I could and left everything on the field of battle so that you might enjoy the freedom and liberty you now have. Let’s do this for the glory and honor of God!

Semper Fidelis to Jesus!

We Must Change Our Ways!!!

By Reverend Glynn Adams

March 3, 2024

“But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons” (1 Timothy 4:1)

There is a war going on against the Body of Christ and God whose absolute goal is to destroy our faith in Jesus Christ and America. These demonic globalists elites started out using the Frankfurt School to systemically change America but in these last days, it is being carried out by Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum and various demonic New World Order Occult Elites.

They knew if a nation followed God, it would be impossible to overtake that nation so they devised a systematic plan to change America by first attacking the morality of this nation, the family structure, Christianity, and our Constitution. By their own words, they boasted if we can get America to sin, America will forget God. If we weaken the family structure, it will destroy America. In secret, they went into the interior of our nation into our institutions of influence such as text book publishing, all forms of media such as radio, television, movies, video games, and into our schools and universities, into our government, corporations, and our seminaries and churches.

Then they brought forth a flood of anti- God, anti-family, anti- Christianity, and anti- Constitution – the God is Dead Movement to attack Christianity, the Women’s Liberation movement to get mothers out of the home, on TV the father was portrayed as weak, non-caring, and out of touch, the homosexual movement, free sex movement, and pornography to attack further our moral compass. Hollywood did their share with vile movies and sex as well as TV. They used such people as Dr. Spock, a well- known child psychologists to attack God’s laws for raising children and discipline, easy divorce, and a constant campaign of lies against Christianity, pastors, churches, and our Constitution.

Many of us in the 80s and 90s warned the nation and churches of this systematic revolution against the family, morality, Christianity, and our Constitution but we were ignored. The churches and pastors refused to face the reality of our day and we were considered troublemakers, outcasts, and out of the mainstream of Christianity. In the church I pastored, a deceived Southern Baptist Deacon said, “No Marxists or demons here in America Brother Adams will never ever overtake our nation!!!!”

Nothing has changed since then as the pastors and church still refuse to take a stand against the enemies destroying this nation. Christians then and now are just like the ten spies in Numbers 13 and 14, that could only see themselves as grasshoppers and the giants were too big for them and God. It is not the Democrats, Marxists New World elites, George Soros, or any other that is destroying America. It is the pastors and the Body of Christ in this nation that refuse to be obedient to God and to take a stand and fight against these defeated demonic enemies.

Because we will not take a stand and resist, this has allowed our enemies of the cross to overtake our nation unopposed. All the while, God is waiting for us to be obedient and go to the battlefield so He can defeat our enemies. This is what Joshua and Caleb did and they successfully possessed the land and the promises of God.

God gave a law to His children for possessing the land to keep our enemies from overtaking our land, ”If you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall come about that those whom you let remain of them will become as pricks in your eyes and as thorns in your sides, and they shall trouble you in the land in which you live. And it shall come about that as I plan to do to them so I will do to you.” (Numbers 33:55-56) – HATH GOD REALLY SAID?!!! Yes. He said it and the Body of Christ in America can clearly see what God said has come true. Is there anyone in America that are pricks in our eyes, thorns in our flesh, and troubling us in the land in which we live?

Plus, our enemies are not done in America. Evil never sleeps and never quits. They are progressive and have been in this nation since the early 1900s as well as in 1964 when the Frankfurt School first launched their attacks on this nation. Christians, just stay in your safe zones, continue to disregard what God says in His Word, stay away from the battlefield like the ten spies, and we will lose this nation to our enemies.

God is not coming down from heaven and fix America. He gave His Body dominion, His Name, His authority and power and if anything goes wrong in our nation, we are to fix it using these weapons of God, His power, His authority, His Name, and His weapons to fix America. God sent Israel, the apple of His eye, into bondage because they would not obey God.

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil; God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak; not to act is to act.” (Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s warning words spoken to the German People who refused to stand against evil Hitler in their day). May God bless us with some wisdom of God and eyes that see and ears that hear and some courage and a backbone. “And they overcame him (Satan) because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony, they did not love their life even to death.” (Revelations 12:11)

In the real Greek World in Jesus’ day on this earth, a group of Greek citizens called the ekkelsia, would gather, as a legal entity, at the gates of their city to discuss the governmental, legislative, and judicial ways they would lead their nation. They determined what their nation would be like, what their culture would be like, what traditions they would live by, the laws of the land, and the responsibility of the Greek citizens to their nation. This group of Greek citizens which is called the ekkelsia literally determined what type of culture, city, or nation they would have as they set the standards before the Greek people!!!

This is what God had in mind for His ekkelsia. We are to be much more than just a fellowship of people. The ekkelsia, what we call the church, is to be God’s direct governmental, legislative, and judicial representatives, His legal entity, His ambassadors, on this earth. We are to have dominion, to expand God’s Kingdom, to make disciples of Christ, to set the standards in which we live by, the morals we live by, we raise up disciples in our culture who would represent us in our Republic Constitutional government, we ensure God is in our schools that will educate and make disciples of our children to be the generations that continue the ways of God in our nation, our form of government, and our family structure.

We are to resist any evil that would enter into our land and not allow any strongholds, doctrines of demons, rulers, powers of darkness in wicked places and anything or anyone contrary to the ways of God to be in power or to influence our people, cities, or nation. We are to use the laws of heaven and the Name, authority, power of the Holy Spirit, and other resources God has given to us to exercise dominion in our nation, to protect our nation and to lead our nation into the ways of God. God’s people called the ekkelsia was to determine what type of culture, cities, and nation we would have as we sat God’s standards before our nation and this world system. But we have not done this.

Why has the opposite happened? As a corporate people we have not obeyed God. We do not understand God’s purpose for the church. We have reduced church to going to a building on Sunday. We have forsaken the ways of our God and hewed cisterns for ourselves that can hold no water. We have instituted the religious traditions of man into God’s ekkelsia rather than the ways of God.

We have disregarded the warnings of God and allowed our nation to be captured by a godless Marxists philosophy having allowed them to remove our Bible, Ten Commandments, the morality of our God, allowed God’s definition of marriage to be changed, allowed our children to be taught the ways, not of God, but Marxist ways, allowed our culture to be polluted, our Godly values to be assaulted, and God openly mocked throughout our nation.

Instead of the peace of God, we now have the violence and open manifestation of demons in our nation, our cities, our culture, our churches, and in our children. Demons and demonic strongholds are getting stronger each day to launch Satan’s ministry of death against our nation because there is no sufficient spiritual opposition. The Body of Christ in America have sown America to the wind and now we are reaping the whirlwind.

We have been too accommodating to the demonic spirits of this world system in that we have failed to give the manifold wisdom of God through the church so God’s wisdom might be made known to the rulers and authorities in the demonic realm as stated in Ephesians 3:10. We have all authority over Satan and his demonic hordes but we have sat on it while the gates of hell came against the Body of Christ and our nation.

All I see is churches promoting conferences, books, podcasts, TV programming, and themselves. These are not bad things but are these things the priority we need at this hour? We must repent, forsake our false religion and return to the reality of Scripture. If your pastor and church system are not leading you to repentance and preparing you for this spiritual war, you need to find one who is. The spiritual war is not coming; it is here in full force and Christians have not shown up for this war. If we expect to save our nation with God’s help, we must get our act together and engage our enemies.

But first we must develop a real, genuine fear of God in the Body of Christ. Jesus did not tell us to fear but He did tell who to fear, “And do not fear those who kill the body, but are unable to kill the soul but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:28) We have lost that fear of God in the Body of Christ in America!!!

Also, we must get the Body of Christ in this nation into unity of purpose and see ourselves not only with the responsibility to share the gospel to the lost but to engage the demons of hell in this nation with the power and authority of God. Next week I will present some information on Spiritual Warfare. In case you don’t know what that is – that is disciples of Christ, in obedience to our LORD and His Word, getting on a war footing and becoming engaged in this spiritual war resisting Satan and his powers of darkness that is destroying this nation and other nations around the world!!! God bless, I remain His warrior and watchman, Glynn Adams

We Won’t Back Down

By Rob Pue

March 3, 2024

Here at Wisconsin Christian News, I’m preparing for this year’s Ministry Conference, which will be held April 12 & 13 in Wausau, Wisconsin — right in the center of the state.

We held a Conference every year for nearly 20 years, but after 2020, those came to an abrupt halt, as we endured lockdowns under the guise of “public health mandates.” In fact, our event in 2020 took place on “lockdown weekend.” That’s a weekend I’ll never forget. We were all set to go with the Conference scheduled to begin Friday evening, and continue throughout the day on Saturday. We had some incredible speakers lined up and folks from all over the country had traveled to our area to attend.

Then, the big announcement came Friday afternoon: the country was shutting down for “two weeks to flatten the curve,” referring to COVID. We were ordered to quarantine, businesses considered to be “non-essential” were told to close their doors and travel was limited. There were four other events at the venue we were holding ours at, and they all immediately cancelled. But we pressed on, undeterred. Everyone had a wonderful time, no one got sick, and all was well. We ended our Conference on Saturday night with prayer, but at the time, no one could have known what was coming upon our nation and the world, and how things were about to drastically change for us all. Those “two weeks” seemed to never end. Ours was the last live gathering of any kind, anywhere in the country for the rest of that year.

For the next two years, we weren’t able to put a Conference together, because there was no venue willing to sign a contract allowing us to use their facilities. Such was the uncertainty of those years — they didn’t want to rent us the space for our event, and then have to cancel if the lockdowns were still in place. Indeed, the lockdowns were still in effect in many areas. So, we took a couple of years off from hosting our annual gathering.

Then, last year, we began again. Now in a different location and a with a new way of doing things — and it was the very best event we ever put together. MANY people commented using the exact same words: “this was the BEST event of any kind we’ve ever been to!” And it was for me too. We had excellent speakers, the entire event was blessed with the beauty of the old hymns most of us grew up with — that few sing or even hear anymore in their churches. We heard many wonderful testimonies, several people were saved — including entire families — and about 15 people were baptized.

There was such an atmosphere of Godly peace — even though the topics being discussed by our speakers were some of the most serious and vital issues our world is facing. Because the Holy Spirit was present among us. It was a family atmosphere. The family of God, assembling together from all parts of the United States and the entire time was truly heartwarming. And the testimonies I heard after last year’s event astounded even me.

Let me share one with you here. This came just this past November. Yes, even though our Conference was in April, I was still getting amazing testimonies and positive comments as recently as November.

A lady wrote in to me to tell me that her entire family had been saved at our Conference. She initiated things, convincing her husband to attend — even though he really didn’t want to. Then, they dragged their two teenage kids along as well… a 14-year-old son and a 16-year-old daughter. It was a six-hour drive for them to get to our Conference, and this lady told me that on the drive there, it was a family outing “as usual” — the husband and wife not really talking and both kids in their own little worlds with their iPhones and headphones, tuned out from everything around them.

On Friday night, we had two speakers, Shahram Hadian, a former Muslim and now Christian pastor and speaker; and Lynn Fredrick, who was rescued from an addiction to pornography. Shahram spoke about the situation with the Globalist New World Order being set up and it’s implications for free citizens around the world. Then, Lynn shared his testimony and also dealt with the topics of pornography, sexual addiction, the LGBTQ agenda and how it recruits children from the youngest of ages, lies to them, and then “grooms” them into becoming practicing homosexuals or transgenders — or “allies” of that movement.

This lady said her family members were all pretty quiet when things were over Friday night, but she was surprised by the way her husband and kids were so attentive — taking in all the information being shared. The next day, all were eager to be on time for the start of the Conference and everyone participated in the singing of hymns. She noted that her son told her, “This is a different kind of music. We don’t sing these songs in church. I like them!” The whole family was riveted with each presentation by the speakers throughout the day. And she was astounded when her husband came forward during the altar call to re-dedicate his life to Christ! This was something she never thought she’d see.

But the miracle took place on their way home, which is what she wrote to tell me about. The six-hour drive home was completely different from the drive there. Instead of the kids immersed in their phones and tablets, the family talked together in a way they had never done before. In fact, they talked all the way home.

Their 16-year-old daughter, who never shared any personal information about herself with her family, confessed that she had been hanging around with girls in her school that were not only not “Christian,” but were dabbling in homosexuality. One of her friends, in particular, was becoming more and more “masculine” in appearance and she admitted that she, herself, was intrigued by the idea of “transgenderism,” but also that she was afraid she — and her friends — were becoming victims of the perverse indoctrination that Lynn had explained on Friday night.

The family discussed this together, recalling what each of our speakers had shared during the Conference. And then, the most amazing thing of all happened. The Dad, for the first time in his life, led his family in prayer as they drove! They prayed for their daughter and her friends, the Dad confessed his lack of spiritual leadership and asked his family to forgive him for that, and the 14-year-old son confessed that he had been looking at things on the internet that he shouldn’t and he asked God to forgive him, and save him.

This lady didn’t write to tell me of this amazing news until November, because she wanted to be sure this wasn’t just a passing thing, but a life-change. And by November she was sure. Over the ensuing months, the Dad continued to lead daily prayers. Then he started doing daily devotional Bible readings with his wife and children. They left the church they had attended occasionally — which really wasn’t Biblically sound and was more about social gatherings, and they now fellowship with a small, rural church, 45 minutes from their home, but the people there take the things of God much more seriously and have much greater reverence for the Lord.

It’s rare to get a testimony like this because most people don’t share so much detail, but suffice to say, there were many similar stories, and I heard only extremely positive comments from all who attended. Indeed, the Holy Spirit was present among us last year and you could actually feel the presence of God in that place.

We’re doing it again this year — April 12 and 13. Our speaker lineup will again include Shahram Hadian and Lynn Fredrick. But we’ll also have Alex Newman from the New American and Liberty Sentinel, Coach Dave Daubenmire from Pass the Salt Ministries in Ohio, Jim Schneider from the VCY America radio network, Doug Hagmann — a private investigator and host of the very popular Hagmann Report based in Pennsylvania, and Dr. Mike Spauling, a pastor, radio and TV host from Ohio.

And we’ll be blessed by the old hymns of yester-year again, led by our friends from the MPK Christian Celtic Band and national recording artist Layton Howerton. This is a truly amazing lineup of America’s most sought-after speakers and teachers, presenting vital truth and information about the times we’re living in. And every one of our speakers will be weaving the most vital information of all throughout their presentations: the truth of the Gospel message.

Those who attend will find this to be a truly life-changing time for them. It will be a time not only of learning, but of creating an action plan so you can make a real difference, in your own life and in the lives of others around you. There will be rich, deep fellowship and new, life-long friendships made. And as we’ve seen happen so often before, this weekend will strengthen your marriage and family bonds in a way you’d never expect.

This definitely isn’t just “church as usual.” Those who attend will hear, learn and experience things they’ve never experienced before. I fully expect the Lord to do miraculous things again this year as we gather together in April. And this year is even more important than ever, because 2024 is going to be a year like none we’ve ever experienced.

Our theme this year is “We Won’t Back Down,” based on Ephesians 6:13, which says, “Wherefore, take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” As this year rolls on, great turmoil is ahead for all of us. I strongly believe that God has warned His people what’s coming, and now it’s our duty and responsibility to prepare our hearts, minds, and souls, and to prepare physically as well for the days ahead, so that we can stand our ground, and not back down to the demonic schemes the enemy has in store for us. Those who fail to gain knowledge, wisdom and understanding of the times we’re in and headed for, will have failed to prepare. And having failed to prepare, they are very likely to fail the Lord in that “evil day.”

Recently, I was saddened when I extended a personal invitation to this year’s conference to an old friend that I haven’t seen in a while. This person is a regular church-goer but responded that our event looked like “fear tactics” and told me they have no interest in “conspiracy theories.” Their pastor never speaks on any of these issues and they’re very happy in their church and were “falling more and more in love with Jesus every day.”

I was told that as Christians, we just need to leave everything to God and do nothing to stand against the wickedness and evil in our world — just let it happen (we are powerless anyway) — and hopefully by doing nothing, that will hasten Christ’s return.

There was no interest whatsoever in gaining wisdom, knowledge and understanding, much less standing against evil. Despite God’s Word telling us we’re to seek all these things and that we’ve been given power, love and sound minds, this person, like so many others, believe that Christians are utterly powerless. They don’t know about any of these matters our speakers will be addressing and they don’t want to know — and neither do their pastors.

Sadly, this is how most church-goers feel about our ministry here, and about all the issues that I believe are so very vital for Christians to be engaged in, informed about, and knowledgeable enough to inform others about. Having “itching ears,” they heap up for themselves “teachers” who tell them only what they want to hear. Or as the people told Jeremiah, “Prophecy to us soft things,” rather than truth. I truly hope you’re different.

I believe every Christ-follower NEEDS what we will be providing at our Conference. I know I need it. We must do more than just “go to church.” We must be engaged, we must press deeper into the knowledge and power of God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. I urge you to reserve your tickets for this event TODAY. You can order them online at https://coachdavelive.com/event/wisconsin-christian-news-we-wont-back-down-ministry-conference or call me at 715-486-8066 for more information. I truly hope you’ll commit to being a part of this life-changing event. It will not only inform you but greatly encourage you. It just may be the highlight of your entire year. I hope to see you there and meet you in person. God bless you.

Diligence in the Little Things Leads to Big Results

by Rolaant McKenzie

March 3, 2024

The Karate Kid (1984) is an American martial arts drama film that tells the story of Daniel LaRusso, a teenager who moves with his widowed mother from Newark, New Jersey, to an apartment complex in a suburban Los Angeles neighborhood. At his new high school, Daniel is bullied by a gang of students who study an aggressive form of karate at a local dojo (martial arts school). On one occasion, after pursuing him down the street to his home, they brutally beat him until Miyagi, the apartment complex handyman, intervened and defeated them.

Miyagi was an immigrant from Okinawa, Japan, and a World War II veteran. He received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his valor on the battlefields of Europe, even though his wife was being held at Manzanar in California (where she died in childbirth), one of the ten Japanese-American concentration camps in America from 1942 to 1945.

Daniel asks Miyagi to teach him karate, and he eventually agrees to do so at his home. They meet with the sensei (teacher) of the dojo and agree that Daniel will enter the upcoming All-Valley Karate Championship to compete against his students on equal terms, with his students ceasing their harassment so that Daniel can train. Failure to appear at the tournament would result in harassment from the sensei and his students against both Daniel and Miyagi.

Daniel’s training involves days of doing manual labor at Miyagi’s home, such as sanding the wooden walkway in the backyard, waxing his vintage cars, and painting the house, fence, and walkway. At a point in his training, he became frustrated, thinking that he had only become Miyagi’s servant. But Miyagi shows him that repetition of these chores has helped him learn defensive blocks through muscle memory.

Daniel diligently continues the tasks given to him as part of his training, and as his karate skills grow, so does his friendship with Miyagi. Before long, not only was he able to compete in the tournament, but he also defeated those who bullied him, gaining their respect and peace.

The story of Joseph illustrates the long-range benefits of diligence in the small things (Genesis 39-41). He was sold into slavery by jealous brothers, resulting in him being taken into Egypt to be the servant of Potiphar, the captain of Pharaoh’s bodyguard.

Joseph was faithful in handling the small things in his master’s house, and he gained greater responsibility and success. Potiphar recognized his servant’s faithfulness, integrity, and the fact that the Lord caused his home to prosper through him, so he made him overseer of his house.

An apparent setback occurred when Potiphar’s wife tried to seduce Joseph, but he refused to sin against God and his master, so she falsely accused him of attempted rape. Potiphar, knowing his servant’s integrity, likely did not believe he would do such a thing; otherwise, he would have had him executed immediately. But to save face with the royal court and his peers, he had Joseph imprisoned — not in a common jail, but the one holding royal officials.

Even in prison, Joseph was careful with the little things, and the Lord gave him favor in the sight of the warden. So well did he do his work that the warden entrusted the management of all the prisoners to him.

Joseph’s conscientiousness helped him develop exceptional administrative talents. God prospered his work and gave him the ability to interpret the prophetic dreams of Pharoah at a critical time in Egypt’s history. Joseph was elevated by Pharoah to be Governor over the entire country to prepare for a coming great famine, which enabled him to save the country and people of the world, especially preserving the lives of his brothers and their families. God used his diligence to save the people of Israel, which in turn eventually led to the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus, who provides the ultimate salvation for humanity.

An investor is a person who allocates financial capital with the expectation of a future return or profit. In the Parable of the Talents, Jesus tells the story of a man who, before leaving his house for a distant country, entrusts his servants with varying sums of money with which to do business until he returns (Matthew 25:14-30; Luke 19:11-27). Those who were careful and persistent made a profit on the money entrusted to them, and their master, upon his return, praised them with these words:

“Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.” (Matthew 25:21)

Jesus conveyed the lesson that God “invests” in us by giving talents that He wants us to develop not only for His “profit,” the expansion and glory of His kingdom, but for our own benefit and that of others. Faithfulness in the little things was a key factor in the success of the servants who were commended and rewarded with a promotion, and likewise, if we pay close attention to accomplishing the small tasks well, the talents God has given will grow in value and prepare us for the greater roles God has for us.

In another parable, Jesus said:

“He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much.” (Luke 16:10)

The ordinary, mundane things of life are not inconsequential. They are worth doing well, and they do add up. Though we may at times face frustrations, setbacks, and uncertainty, diligence in the little things paves the way to fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives. It is an investment with an eye to eternity, where God rewards faithful service to Him and for others (1 Corinthians 3:5-15).

Could April 8 Be a Day of Terror and the Start of Financial Endgame?

By Steven Yates

March 2, 2024

“In our view … derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction, carrying dangers that, while now latent, are potentially lethal.” —Warren Buffett

Those who know me know that where human affairs are concerned, I don’t like making predictions. Given complexity, no one ever knows all the factors leading to a given event, or that could influence it. So I sketch scenarios. Scenarios are not predictions. They offer possibilities. They draw pictures. They suggest that if a specific set of circumstances should align, the event depicted could take place. They gain credibility by noting trends we can see if we’re observing honestly.

A couple of weeks ago I posted an article on my Substack publication Navigating the New Normal from one Sarah Smith, pseudonym of a woman I’ve known for years. She’s done a few things under her real name, but with family to think of, in the New Normal she wants to keep her head down. She’s given me permission to draw on her ideas and resources. I’m uncomfortable doing so without crediting her for drawing the scenario below. I don’t know the probability that something bad will happen on April 8. Sarah assures me, though, that well-connected and well-informed people who have better information than I do are worried. That tells me, the odds are not zero!

Open Borders and the Threat of Terrorism.

What are we sure of? That the Bidenistas want open borders. They threw open the southern border after ousting Trump back in 2020-21. Migrants began massing on our southern border not by the thousands but by the hundreds of thousands. Discovering they could cross the border without consequence, they came in even larger numbers. Different sources cite anywhere from 6.2 million to 10 million illegal migrants entering the U.S. since January 21, 2021. They’ve gone (or been sent) to every major city, where some have made mayhem. Only some are Hispanic. Others entering the U.S. illegally are Chinese nationals (thousands — enough to form an army on U.S. soil!). There are also likely Hezbollah loyalists able to form sleeper cells answering to Iran! Should the U.S. end up in a direct confrontation with that country, these cells could easily be activated!

In other words, it’s as if the Bidenistas are inviting a terrorist attack on U.S. soil, possibly in response to the mayhem “our” war machine has made in the Middle East, or just its unconditional support for Israel.

No one I know of thinks “Joe Biden” is doing this. With his cognitive decline, I doubt he can still find Iran on a map. Does whoever is behind him — Obama? Obama’s handlers? — have a larger agenda reflecting hatred for Western civilization? Some think so.

The Derivatives Bubble: Could a Terrorist Attack Lead to The Great Taking and CBDCs?

A terrorist attack — or multiple attacks on the same day — if they occurred, say, in America’s Heartland, would do more than cause a major economic downturn. They could set in motion cascading defaults that would dwarf what we saw back in 2008. They could burst the derivatives bubble. Financial Endgame would follow.

The derivatives bubble is the largest bubble in human history. Its size exceeds the actual physical wealth on the planet. It is not without reason that Warren Buffett referred to derivatives as potential “financial weapons of mass destruction.”

We are indebted to David Rogers Webb who smoked out what the bursting of this bubble would mean for ordinary people, revealing it in his book The Great Taking which I’ve reviewed and continued to reference.

A 1990s revision to the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) adopted by all 50 states gives special, “protected class” legal status to the too-big-to-fail banks (Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo). In the wake of the complete financial meltdown that would follow, the revised UCC would be used to justify digitally transferring all securities (stocks, bonds, mortgages, pensions, 401ks, etc.) to the too-big-to-fail banks, and it would be legal!

Picture awakening one morning, logging into your IRA or 401k to check its performance, and seeing that to your horror, your account balance is zero! Your money has vanished! In a panic you try to call your broker and discover that your phone isn’t working! Your bank is shuttered, surrounded by police barricades also surrounding every other local bank branch! You still can’t reach your broker. Numb, you try to process all this and wonder what happens next!

It’s the Great Taking! See again Sarah Smith’s article here, or here.

The Federal Reserve and the too-big-to-fail banks will then issue central bank digital currency (CBDC) with the backing of Uncle Sam. I envision “Joe Biden” signing an executive order establishing the new financial system supposedly to deal with the disaster and likely national panic that could end with fresh lockdowns and martial law being imposed. Smaller banks not absorbed by the too-big-to-fail leviathans will not reopen. If you had an account in one of them, your money is simply gone!

David Webb recounts how this happened early in the Great Depression.

Technology has changed, of course. Once you’re back online (having jumped through all the hoops of producing federally issued ID) you’ll be able to download an app into your phone enabling you to obtain your allotment of CBDC! If you want to buy food, you’ll have no choice!

A terrorist attack, or a series of them, could be the first cause in a chain of events designed to leave average Americans penniless and helpless once again!

What would be the best day for such an attack?

How about a day when nearly everyone is distracted by something else, something rare and exciting? Like a solar eclipse! Like the solar eclipse that will darken a large swath of Middle America on April 8! This is the essence of Sarah Smith’s scenario.

More Red Flags Now Than Before 9/11.

Sarah told me in a recent phone conversation that county sheriffs in midwestern states have been placed on special notice by the FBI and intelligence agencies. They pay attention, because there have already been numerous hacks, cyberattacks, and other suspicious events interfering with digital systems. One happened just the other day, on February 22. Although AT&T was especially hard hit, mobile users of multiple carriers were without service for close to 12 hours in some cases.

Sheriffs and police chiefs are being told that the American Heartland is being targeted for special attention by terrorists who entered this country illegally. (I recall encountering such talk during the summer prior to 9/11.) Attacks could be physical and involve deadly violence in shopping malls, or digital, aimed at taking down crucial infrastructure for extended periods, or both.

A total eclipse of the sun will cross the Heartland on April 8. Millions are expected to come from non-eclipse states to see it. States are anticipating huge revenues from hotel fees, other extra business, and sales taxes. They’re balancing this against the risks of large public eclipse gatherings. Sheriffs are preparing, with weekly “eclipse meetings.” “Joe Biden” has refused to meet with their leadership, despite the FBI warning that there are presently more “red flags” than there were before 9/11, and that attacks will come: “it’s not a matter of if, but when.”

Sheriff Richard K. Jones is working hard to prepare the residents of Butler Co., Ohio, Sarah’s home county, in the path of eclipse totality. He held a town meeting to share what he learned at a recent conference. Watch (25 minutes) and decide for yourself if you think alarm is justified.

The UCC and the End of Property Rights.

Securities were called that because they were — well — secure! Once, long ago, when you bought a stock, you were issued a paper certificate: legal proof of your ownership of that stock. Part of your private property.

Not anymore! Not since the mid-1990s (an indication that what we’re seeing has nothing to do with the Meltdown of 2008; long time readers know this agenda didn’t begin yesterday!)!

The Heartland Institute, based near Chicago, defends private property rights, with the understanding that without private property rights encoded in law you don’t have a free society.

The Institute recently issued a detailed letter explaining the change in the UCC, which ended private property rights based ownership of securities. Here’s the key paragraph:

Over the past few years, the world’s largest financial institutions, those often referred to as “too big to fail,” have been quietly preparing for a potential global financial crisis. One of the ways in which they have done this is by lobbying legislators to change the way collateral is held under state laws, to reposition banks to have priority claim over the wealth stored in investments, 401ks, and IRA accounts. The result of their efforts is that Article 8 of the UCC effectively nullifies citizens’ fundamental property rights over their investments.

David Webb talks about dematerialization, an important concept in this context. The basic idea is not hard. Webb tells us at the start of Chapter 2 of The Great Taking:

There are now no property rights to securities held in book-entry form in any jurisdiction, globally. In the grand scheme to confiscate all collateral, dematerialization of securities was the essential first step. The planning and efforts began over half a century ago. That there was some great strategic purpose behind dematerialization is evidenced by the fact that the CIA was assigned the mission….

After the behind-the-scenes changes made to the UCC, all you now have are security entitlements. What does this mean? Security entitlements are a phantom, a kind of fake ownership. Webb again, in Chapter 3:

In order to convey to you what has been done, let me start with an analogy:

Let’s say that you have purchased an automobile for cash. Having no debt against the vehicle, you believe that you now own it outright. Despite that, the auto dealer has been allowed by a newly invented legal concept to treat your car as his asset, and to use it as collateral to borrow money for his own purposes. Now the auto dealer has become bankrupt, and your vehicle along with all of the others sold by the dealer are seized by certain secured creditors of the dealership, with no judicial review being necessary, as legal certainty was previously established that they have absolute power to take your car in the event of the bankruptcy of the dealer.

Now, to be clear, I am not talking about your car! I am illustrating the horror and simplicity of the lie: You are led to believe that you own something, but someone else secretly controls it as collateral. And they have now established legal certainty that they have absolute power to take it immediately in the event of insolvency, and not your insolvency, but insolvency of the people who secretly gave them your property as 8 III Security Entitlement 9 collateral. It does not seem possible. But this is exactly what has been done with all tradable financial instruments, globally! The proof of this is absolutely irrefutable. This is wired to go now.

In other words, your stocks are not really yours! The money in your bank account is not really yours! If you’re paying or even if you’ve paid off a mortgage, your home is not really yours! In a major financial meltdown, all could be taken from you in the blink of an eye to save the too-big-to-fail banks, and it’s legal because it’s in the UCC!

Recall that in the future you will own nothing, have no privacy, and be happy? (And possibly eat bugs.) The next financial meltdown will introduce that kind of dystopia if nothing is done to reverse the changes of the 1990s.

Putting This All Together: What You Can Do.

David Webb is somewhat pessimistic, given the complexity of the financial instruments we’re talking about which are beyond the average investor’s level of understanding, and given how far along this agenda is. But we’re not helpless!

First, if you’ve not yet done so, please read The Great Taking and download the film. Do this while you still can! Here, in one place:

Download a PDF of the book for free. Watch David Webb’s documentary here.

Watch a 37-minute summary of the “Great Taking” book and movie. This will make them easier to process quickly. Take notes on everything.

You’ll find an attorney’s assessment of the book’s legal claims here.

Read Sarah Smith’s article (again: here or here).

The Great Taking is heavily referenced. Its conclusions are irrefutable! Webb is no amateur. He has years of experience in the financial world to back up his claims. The fact that he’s made his book available for free is evidence of how badly he wants this information to get out while there’s still time. He doesn’t care if he makes money from this. He cares about freedoms: your freedoms. Which won’t last much longer if something happens to pop the derivatives bubble and we’re not prepared!

A terrorist attack, or several, on April 8, aided and abetted by three years of Bidenista open borders, with everyone distracted by a solar eclipse, could do just that by causing a cascading financial meltdown that would make 2008 look like a bad hangover by comparison.

Will anything happen on April 8? I don’t know. That’s why I only sketch scenarios. The sheriffs Sarah referenced certainly think it possible; she didn’t simply make all this up. Remember that “it’s not a matter of if, but when.”

It’s an easy mistake, thinking this is just the U.S. Because of how technology has connected the world, cascading events would be global in scope — as would be the response, not unlike the response to the WHO declaring a global emergency back in March 2020 and suddenly the entire world is locking down! Becoming an expat — not that that’s something you can do on the spur of the moment — is no longer an answer!

The U.S. is ground zero, however, because it’s still the world’s largest economy. Donald Trump has only gained momentum as the lawfare attacks on him and on those surrounding him have intensified. A powerful superelite sees a second Trump term as an existential threat to its global dominance and will pull out all stops to keep him from getting back into the White House. Leftist foot soldiers are likely to take to the streets well before November if convictions elude leftist prosecutors, leftist attorney generals, leftist judges. Sarah told me she doesn’t think there will even be an election in November. I pray she’s mistaken, but I can’t prove her wrong.

If nothing happens on April 8, so much the better! But something will happen! Eventually!

Welcome to the New Normal!

Bottom line: the more people who read The Great Taking, the better! Forward this information and the links above to your local, state, and national representatives, your mayors, your local sheriffs, your State Governor. Print the letter linked to above (for convenience purposes here it is again); meet with your representatives, walk them through it. Urge them to introduce legislation reversing the changes of the 1990s and restoring unequivocal ownership rights over securities.

Also share this information with your pastors, deacons, priests, rabbis; send one to your attorney if you have one, and the person who does your tax return. Send it to the chair of your local school board, and to members. Send it to any other decision-makers and influencers you can think of. Have them forward it to local, state, and national representatives. There is power in numbers!

Speak publicly to local groups if you’re so inclined. Hardcopy editions of The Great Taking are obtainable (clothback or paperback). Get your local public library to order one if you can (donate a copy if they can’t or won’t), then begin a reading-and-discussion group and work through it. Do these things now, not tomorrow. These are specific actions you can take, in addition to other measures such as having physical cash on hand, learning to grow vegetables in a garden, and other activities that will enable your personal and financial self-reliance should CBDCs be forced on the world. Of one last thing we can be certain: the too-big-to-fail banks and the globalists behind them will not go down without a fight!

Travail Will Tail the Chemtrail Assail

By Sidney Secular

March 2, 2024

These are strange days with strange skies and this situation is leading to Florida’s losing its allure as the Sunshine State. All across that state Florida’s “winter people” are noticing that their skies have been unusually cloudy and overcast, the cloudiest in 84 years in fact. Florida is in the subtropical zone where you usually have either bright blue skies or stormy, showery weather with little or nothing in-between. The weather gurus blame it on El Nino (The Christ child, literally), a recurring system that often brings unsettled weather. Yet, El Nino doesn’t explain why we are observing unnatural crisscross line formations in the sky (very like atmospheric checkerboards), that, if they happen frequently enough and with enough concentration, begin to blend one into one another creating an overcast pall. Once the exclusive province of the conspiracy minded, the issue is now being openly addressed, especially in the Sunshine State. The truth is that the whole world is in the cross-hairs and “cross-trails” of chemtrail attacks. It is just more noticeable and worrisome to Floridians who are “livid” over it.

In 2020, the Spanish Government openly admitted to spraying chemtrails in the air over Spain at the behest of the UN. This request was presented to that government as a means of killing what was, in fact, the imaginary COVID-19 agent that was – allegedly – creating a health-care crisis in that state and the rest of the nation and the world. This confession represents prima facie (“in your face”) evidence that chemtrails are not a tin-foil hat “conspiracy theory” but rather that they are both real and represent multiple violations of the Nuremberg Code – a human rights and medical ethics treaty that today is not being enforced by anybody in any way. Setting aside for a moment the subject of the deliberate poisonings of populations, chemtrails are a component of a plan called Solar Radiation Management (SRM) designed to reduce incoming solar radiation, reflecting it back into space as a means of reducing “global warming.” This plan is promulgated by the NIH, apparently as an authorized agent of the UN. SRM includes utilization of stratospheric aerosols, reflective satellites, whitening of the clouds, whitening of built structures, and increasing plant reflectivity (the color white is the best reflector of light). The NIH admits there are negative health effects associated with their program, which they don’t intend to say, much less do anything about – they just want their actions not be noticeable enough to raise objections to it. In other words, the unhealthful effects are to be covered up until such time as they have glaciers in Madrid.

As usual, where there’s big money to be made and plots to be laid, Bill Gates is front and center in promoting it. He’s spending tremendous amounts of money in implementing sun dimming projects around the world. That sort of verifies that it is genocide on a global scale. Modern devilish doings are all dressed up as virtuous undertakings, but they eventually lead to or benefit the undertakers, so to speak. One of the major ulterior motive/intents of the dimming projects is to create food crises by replicating the effects of a massive atmospheric disturbances such as volcanic eruptions or the results of meteor strikes as was experienced in the US in 1815, often called “the year without a summer.” At that time there were massive crop failures on a global scale, a return of which would allow our globalist overlords to con people into believing we are experiencing an effect of climate change that would justify rationing food supplies, the introduction of insects as staples in our diets, herding people into 15 minute cities and helping create a global totalitarian regime to run these “responses.” Gates is also buying up huge swaths of farmland, apparently to keep it out of circulation for farming as a means of intensifying the prevalence of starvation as his plot unfolds. He undoubtedly has various nefarious plans in mind to sell this land later, maybe for use by the GovMint to build concentration camps, 15 minute cities, or insects-for-food farming facilities thereon.

The two purposes of chemtrailing are to directly poison humanity and to block out much of the light from the sun. Plants need sunlight to perform photosynthesis and our bodies need Vitamin D, for which sunlight is a prime source, so blocking out the sun could threaten the survival of life on Earth. It could also set off a new ice age, especially if sunspot activity is concurrently decreased, a matter that lessens solar radiation emitted, and happens in cycles. Such a reduction in solar emissions is actually predicted by some scientists to start soon and last into the 2040’s.

Another interesting aspect of this global attack is that the aircraft involved in spraying chemicals into the air over the United Kingdom do not appear on radar. A pilot whistleblower has explained that the software in the transponders have been fixed in these aircraft so that they don’t show up on radar. The whistleblower also has stated that all the pilots involved in the program are ex-Royal Air Force used to performing clandestine operations after having signed an oath that they will not reveal what they are doing. It is not a stretch to expect the same or similar situation/scenario in this country. It always amazes me how many “good,” “decent” patriots are willing to murder their fellow man in the name of obedience to the GuvMint. One must assume that they do not understand that they themselves as well as their loved ones are going to die just like everybody else! This suggests that mind control is already well ensconced in our ruling bodies.

Also, on another front, it’s not a stretch to surmise that the nano-particulates in the chemtrails enhance and synergize the effects of the nano-particles in the COVID-19 vaxx shots and that they work in sync to sink us. There are an unbelievably large variety of infectious pathogens and at least 26 harmful chemicals in the chemtrail fallout. These include nano-particulates of aluminum and barium, and cationic polymer fibers containing unidentified bio-active material. An investigator found over 300 types of virally mutated fungi in the chemtrail fallouts. Drugs including sedatives have also been found in the fallout. These substances could be the cause of the sudden epidemics of brain fog and chronic fatigue syndromes. As well, the very plague of such things as skin diseases and tinnitus indicates that there is more to this matter than that which is obvious. Chemtrail components have been linked indisputably and directly with the previously unknown malady of Morgellons Disease, a condition characterized by blood clots and plaques, problems that are also exacerbated by the COVID vaxxes. There are at least 60,000 known victims of this illness. The Government has not funded any research, since it is probable that they already know all that needs to be known and as far as the victims are concerned, anything that the government does would be putting the fox in charge of the hen-house. The skyrocketing rates of lung cancer, COPD, asthma, and pulmonary and respiratory problems could also be associated with the chemtrail deposits coupled with the deadly vaccine assault.

Whether chemtrail spraying is similar to fluoride contamination in water and toothpastes in creating a more docile, easily dominated, and less intelligent population; a means of dimming both the human intellect and the planet; or outright extermination of its life forms, it goes without saying that it qualifies as a crime against humanity, being that it at least constitutes experimentation without informed consent, a violation of the Nuremberg code, and certainly contrary and destructive of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Bible.

Secessionist sentiment is brewing and coming to a boil in the state of New Hampshire (NH), whose motto is “Live Free or Die” as seen on its vehicle license plates. Due to the publicity surrounding the chemtrail spraying, the state is starting to feel the heat. Recently, a bill began wending its way through the NH legislature calling for a prohibition of weather modification, stratospheric aerosol injection, solar radiation modification and geoengineering in that state or in the skies above it. The sky’s the limit insofar as how far this movement can go. However, we must remember that the sky does not follow earthly boundaries and New Hampshire will not save itself if the rest of us don’t save ourselves!

Cards To Start The War

By Kat Stansell

March 1, 2024

When the Plastic Largess Dries Up, The “American Insurrection” Begins

Just a thought here…

Plastic will buy you anything these days. Even a hot war, right here at home.

Every time I hear about the cash cards and goodies being handed out to our invaders, I get angry. Especially, now at tax time, I keep asking myself and anyone else who will listen, WTF?, or my generic version thereof. Money is getting tighter for us all, and those who are being brought here to take us down – societally or militarily – are getting up to $10k/month?? I thought we were told that THEY were paying to come HERE.

The latest stories of this abomination come from (where else?) NYC. Mayor Eric Adams is announcing that every illegal in the city will be given $1000 a month. I know that doesn’t go far in NY, especially with a lot of truckers refusing loads that will make food prices rise. (And. good for them!!)

It seemed, though, that one minute Adams was whining how NYC could not afford the overload of human souls. The next minute, he was giving them money. OK, I know he’s a lefty and they cannot add 1+1, but he is now seemingly ok with it all. The money is coming from somewhere. No more carping.

Remember, too, that TX Governor, Abbott, sent busload after busload to NYC. At first, I thought, “in your face, Lefties”. But then I read something that made me pause. Was he helping to gather the troops? We know Abbott is not exactly “one of us.”

This may all be on purpose. The deactivation of these cash cards will happen when the Marxist madmen in DC want to ignite the violence. Invaders will be left to rampage and plunder. Americans will be forced to fight back, to protect their homes, families and food supplies. THAT will be how they start the “American Insurrection that Obama trained thousands of foreign troops to take down. We Americans and thousands of expendable foreigners will be the victims of this diabolical plot.

I’d thought that, if we just kept our cool, and didn’t let the madmen get to us, we could still keep the peace and those troops, inactive. I get it now. Using cash cards to start a war is a real possibility.

The Burning Platform today, shows us a Tweet from a Matt Bracken, that says the same.

The invaders are being kept happy for a while, or at least fed. Are they here to vote for Biden? Some think so, but In this scenario, it won’t matter who is in 1600. Thirty million people, approximately 10% of our population have been led to the public trough, which will go empty when the cash cards dry up. I think the idea of starving out the invaders, so they will come after us, may be exactly the plan. The Luciferian, hideous Marxist plan.

The cut off of the cash card will start the insurrection regardless of who is in Washington. The difference would be how Trump would deal with it.

Our keeping our powder dry, so to speak, will not prevent us from being attacked. Remember hearing about the underground bunkers being built for our government? Remember about the special emergency phones they’ve been issued? Remember how they cleared out Maui?

Yeah, so do I, and it doesn’t even feel like tin foil on my head anymore. This possibility explains a lot of otherwise random weirdness, including the Democrat Party’s apparent nonchalance about running a pair of idiots who are well underwater in the polls, for a second term

Cloward and Piven, now has a new twist. Cash cards were not a part of their world, so they could never have dreamed of the efficacy of this kind of plan. Some group of Globalist elite thought this one up some time ago. They stole the 2020 election, then President Numbnuts opened the borders wide and messed with our food and fuel supplies. Cash cards were issued, and the plan was in place.

As you prepare – and PLEASE DO – be thinking of all of those “Republicans” you trusted. All of them – Haley, Romney, DeSantis, McConnell and so many more – are part of this plan. We are at the stage where, “if you’re not with us, you’re against us”, and RINO Republicans are certainly NOT with us.

Do whatever you can to stop their legislative attempts to control you, your health, your children, your possessions, your relationship with your God. Guess this is another of my “off the couch and out the door” pleas, with a different more urgent slant. Fend them off, and keep your powder dry. For now.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” ~ Edmund Burke

It’s My Own Damn Fault

By Coach Dave Daubenmire

March 1, 2024

“Some people say that there’s a woman to blame, but I know, it’s my own damn fault.” —Jimmy Buffet. “Margaritaville”

It is always some one else’s fault. Have you noticed that, here in America?

It’s the refs. It’s the government. It’s the schools. It’s the church. It’s my pastor. It’s President Biden. It’s Donald Trump. It’s the media. It’s the Left. It’s the Right. It’s racism. It’s the courts. It’s my spouse. The Devil made me do it.

It’s the mirror. That is one place no one wants to look. What was it Michael Jackson sang…?

I’m starting with the man in the mirror. I’m asking him to change his ways. And no message could have been any clearer. If you wanna make the world a better place. Take a look at yourself and then make a change.

Personal responsibility is a tough pill to swallow. It is so much more comforting to blame someone else for the mess that we have made of this nation. The church sucks. The family sucks. The government sucks. The schools suck.

Life is about choices. Some good. Some bad. But at the end of the day, WE are all responsible for the choices we make. Until you accept the fact that it is your own damn fault nothing will ever change. Sorry Flip Wilson, the Devil didn’t make you do it.

No one made you over eat.

No one made you get married.

No one made you send your kids to government schools.

No one made you take the jab.

No one made you buy what you could not afford.

No one made you wear a mask.

No one made you follow the Dr’s orders.

No one made you sit down and shut up.

No one made you believe things that are not true.

No one made you blindly obey the experts.

No one made you lose your courage.

No one made you let the children run the house.

No one made you take drugs.

No one made you start drinking.

No one made you watch porn.

No one made you let your children be educated by non-believing teachers.

No one made you lie.

No one made you believe Dr. Fauci…or Mitch McConnell…or Pelosi.

No one made you identify Bruce Jenner as a woman.

No one made you call abortion “choice.”

No one made you believe that America was a racist nation.

No one made you stop judging right from wrong.

No one made you act politically correct.

No one made you believe illegal immigrants were not criminals.

No one made you believe J6 was an armed insurrection.

No one made you believe Christianity was non-violent.

No one made you take-out those student loans.

No one made you believe 2 planes brought down 3 towers.

No one made you believe that The Patriot Act would make you safer.

No one made you believe that not getting involved was a good idea.

Sorry. Soooo much of what you have been led to believe simply is not true.

“There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”― Soren Kierkegaard

Open your eyes. Look in the mirror. Stop blaming others for your own gullibility. America is a mess.

It’s our own damn fault.

Nero Fiddled While Rome Burned: Joe Biden Eats Ice Cream While Americans Get Killed

By Frosty Wooldridge

February 29, 2024

“Immigration is a form of war in which the violence is delayed.” —Martin Van Crevald, There Will Be War X

History and human nature display the certain doom for any semblance of an American Representative Republic from ever returning. Rome’s Fall would be a better fate for us than what is now coming. If you look around you, Laken Riley, Mollie Tibbets, Kate Steinle, all killed by illegal aliens invited into America by President Joe Biden, could be your daughters. There are hundreds of thousands more killed by illegals in drug overdoses, in rapes, in murders, in car accidents, and in gun fights. But no one is speaking to what’s coming.

But our borders are wide open to anyone who wants to destroy America!

Joe Biden is killing America and is an accomplice to our destruction as a free, sovereign and functioning society. What does he do? He eats ice cream and visits comedy shows on late night. He’s worse than Nero. He’s worse than any other president in American history.

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” —George Satayana

“When the situation was manageable it was neglected, and now that it is thoroughly out of hand, we apply too late the remedies which then might have effected a cure. There is nothing new in the story. It is as old as the sibylline books. It falls into that long, dismal catalogue of the fruitlessness of experience and the confirmed unteachability of mankind. Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong–these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history.” —Winston Churchill, House of Commons, 2 May 1935

What is it going to take to impeach Joe Biden? He’s an accomplice to murder of our own citizens. He’s treating foreigners better than our own homeless. He’s inviting drug cartels to distribute to kill our young. He’s inviting Islamic terrorists to set up camp and blow up our country. He’s destroying our “rule of law.” He’s a criminal himself with his foreign “pandering for money” as Vice President. He’s totally in the grips of Alzheimer’s, but no one will say it in the mainstream media. What are they waiting for? Why are they pretending that Joe Biden commands his own faculties when it’s clear that he suffers from dementia? What is his wife getting out of it?

Why is POWER so important to her to allow him to run for another four years when he’s already a “walking cadaver” of a shell of a man? Why is his inner circle so ethically bankrupt that they would rather see our country decline into the pit of hell…than report that Joe Biden is not fit, is not capable, is not mentally or physically able to fulfill the office of the President of the United States?

Somebody better start screaming at the top of their lungs. Several have said exactly that Joe Biden is incompetent to serve. We need more and more Americans to yell, scream, write, phone and communicate with their senators, House members, governors and newspapers to tell the truth.

How many more millions of illegals can we absorb before we suffer another 9/11 or hundreds of smaller 9/11’s? How many of us want to give up our children to terrorists now within our country?

Is POWER in the hands of Biden’s handlers that important to destroy our country? Who among his inner circle think it’s THAT important to kill off America? Who at “60 Minutes…NPR…PBS…Face the Nation…Meet the Press” refuses to report on Joe Biden’s inability to pass a 30-question cognitive test? I would bet my life that he couldn’t score 5 points on that test.

Congress needs to wake up. They need to institute the 25th Amendment. We cannot keep fooling ourselves with a senile, decrepit, old man who no longer knows what’s going on in the world. Joe Biden is the “Nero” of the 21st century, and we’re the ones who are watching our own country being burned to the ground.

The 2024 will prove the nastiest, gnarliest, most divisive and dangerous year in American history because of Joe Biden.

The Great Reversal…

By Ms. Smallback

February 29, 2024

The Solution’s Foundation Must be Laid Before We Address the Problems

I was a pretty damaged person in my early adulthood, (from some painful childhood experiences). As I became an adult, the damage I carried prevented me from wholeness and health. I knew it; I could feel it, but I couldn’t seem to get out of it. I didn’t know how. Damaged people damage people, and I knew that my reactions were damaging to those around me. I needed free, and it would take me many, many years to get there.

Along the course of seeking healing and wholeness, I had to learn (and unlearn) a lot of things. Primarily I sought God, because He was truly the only one I trusted, and I was certain He held every solution to every problem I had. I just rarely had the understanding I needed. So I took it one slow step at a time because it’s all I could handle at that point.

Once I had a direction to go, the Spirit led me to a book by Derek Prince called The Atonement, and God very plainly told me to start with that. (I had several other options at that time and God made plain I was not to move in any other direction until I had read it, contrary to what I actually wanted to do at that point.) Later I read the much more detailed book The Blood of Christ by Andrew Murray.

In a place of chaos, the way out is difficult to find. There are too many (chaotic) things flying around that make it difficult to discern up from down, left from right, in from out. You must have something solid to ground you, to give you a footing and help you gain a vision for how to move strategically forward out of the chaos.

This is why God started my healing and deliverance process with the foundation of the atonement of Christ. As I began to move through the chaotic traumas in my heart and mind, I could plant my feet on the foundation of the atonement to navigate the flying memories, emotions, and baggage that constantly accosted me, threw me off balance, and threatened to drag me into dangerously swirling emotions and pain. I began to learn to take everything back to the foundation of Christ, who He is, what He had accomplished, to gain my bearings on how to move in the midst of all that pain and chaos. Eventually I was able to make my way through it all and end the presence of chaos in my life.

This is how I know to help Christians find their way in today’s chaos. We’re inundated with evil all around us and a host of threats of which even just one could destroy us, not to mention the hundreds coming at us. Our food, water and air are polluted and poisonous. Our media and public mouthpieces are lying to us, manipulating us. Our government has betrayed us. There are physical threats, mental threats, and emotional threats on about a thousand fronts right now. Many of us have some sort of real trauma operating in our lives presently. All of this and much more swirls around us constantly.

If we try to move forward as victims, we will be defeated. If we try to find our way out by raging at the darkness, it will consume us. If we ignore it, we will become prey to it. There is but one way to navigate the chaos of the world in 2024 and come through victorious. There is only one way.

The Supremacy of Christ.

The Great Reversal

The sons of God “…did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode”. Jude 6 calls them angels. The Hebrew refers to them as sons of God, but the Greek as angels from the Greek word aggelos meaning “a messenger”, taken from the Greek ago which is a verb that means “to lead”.

If we discount that these created beings of the heavenly realm were referenced as “sons of God”, we’re going to miss some important details. Enoch tells us a more detailed history of Genesis 6, and Enoch 6:1 says it like this:

“And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of heaven, saw and lusted after them…”

Genesis 6:1 says it like this:

“Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.”

Those read startlingly similar. Enoch calls them “children of heaven” and Genesis calls them “sons of God”.

If I could summarize… created beings of heaven called “sons of God” and “children of heaven”, left their appropriate domain and abandoned their proper abode [in heaven] to interfere with the created realm of earth. Not only did they procreate (heavenly beings with earthly beings), but they began to teach these earthly beings all kinds of wickedness. In fact, Enoch tells that one of the watchers named Azazel was ascribed all the sin of the earth for the wickedness he taught. (10:8)

There’s a lot I’m not getting into (which is why I encourage reading Enoch), but the essence of these sons of God leading man into wickedness and then turning on man and destroying them (Enoch 7), and that these sons of God produced offspring with the daughters of men is what I want to focus on.

These sons of God who corrupted themselves and humanity, and produced offspring to further the corruption, continued to lead humanity astray by establishing religions to their names. They are the Babylonian gods of old, who were renamed by region to be Egyptian gods, Mesopotamian gods, Roman gods, Greek gods, and the list goes on and on and on.

Matthew meticulously records the fourteen generations from Abraham to David, the fourteen generations from David to the Babylonian deportation (diaspora), and the fourteen from the Babylonian deportation to Christ. Then Matthew tells us that at this last fourteenth generation, the Messiah would be born of a woman and the Spirit of God and we know He would be known as the SON OF GOD.

Only unlike these other sons of God who cohabited with women and brought wickedness to the earth, this Son of God through the union of flesh and spirit would bring righteousness.

Unlike the sons of God who brought death and destruction to the earth, this Son of God would bring life and abundance.

Unlike the sons of God who taught violence, revenge, and selfish ambition, this Son of God would teach love and peace, forgiveness and reconciliation, and personal sacrifice for the good of others.

Unlike the sons of God who demanded blood sacrifices from humans to appease their wicked appetites, this Son of God would become the blood sacrifice to atone for the wickedness of humans.

Unlike the sons of God who had priests of sexual depravity and altars of death and destruction, this Son of God would be the final sacrifice, eliminating the lust for flesh-filled altars, and become the High Priest to God, doing away with earthly priests.

Unlike the sons of God who alienated us from God, the Son of God reconciled humanity back to God.

Unlike the sons of God who made humanity slaves to sin, the Son of God delivered us from the curse of sin.

Then the Son of God gave those who would believe on Him the power to become sons of God.

The sons of God left their heavenly abode for an earthly existence and have been condemned to judgment. How ironic that through the Son of God we who are earthly can attain a heavenly existence.

Everything about Jesus addresses everything that has stymied and sabotaged man. It’s important we understand this before we move forward to some very real, very complex, and very dangerous threats to humanity. There is no problem facing humanity today that is not resolved in the person of Christ. Absolutely all and every one of our needs are met in Him.

We are in a place of chaos (by design). The ancient gods have regrouped and found a lethargic, compromised society that is easily ensnared. The weaknesses of humanity have taken care of the rest. If we’re going to be victorious in this fight, we have to be solidly planted on a foundation that won’t shift as the chaos blows around us. In some ways we’ll learn as we go, but in all ways we have to be planted firmly on the Rock.

The gods the powers-that-be are worshiping today demand the same things they did then: homage, adulation, loyalty, obedience, and yes, blood sacrifice. In exchange, they gift their adherents with resources, power, and things that stoke the flesh, like fame and notoriety, and substances that feed lusts (sex, drugs, indulgences, etc).

I’m learning to look behind the circumstance before me to see what’s operating. It’s the most liberating thing in the world to declare, “That’s not my god.” Half-time show of rituals and feeding the flesh? That’s not my god. (I won’t participate.) Latest promoted fear (whether it be war, disease, economic, etc.)? That’s not my god. (I won’t participate.) Awards ceremonies for entertainers? That’s not my god. (I won’t participate.) Technology must-haves? That’s not my god. (I won’t participate.)

When you know who your God is, the counterfeit is easier to spot. You reject the counterfeit. You don’t use it. You don’t participate in its actions and schemes. There’s a place where Christ shows us to be shrewd with the things of this world in order to advance the Kingdom of God, and we have to learn how to do that without compromising our faith and convictions and without sullying the Name of Christ. The parable of the shrewd manager is an excellent example of this.

We are now the authentic sons and daughters of God. We have the authority given us by Christ. The unrighteous sons of God have been defeated. The only power they have now is the power someone gives them. Don’t give it to them.

A few articles back I encouraged you to listen to a Jamie Winship presentation at a conference. There were two prominent takeaways: hearing the voice of God and walking in your identity. Both of those things are key for how we move in the chaos around us. Jamie was in war zones for decades, but was himself at peace. He raised a family in hostile environments, and his family was safe. When you know your identity, the circumstances around you are not your prison. When you can hear the voice of God, you can navigate around the obstacles and landmines of the battle scene you’re in.

If you didn’t get a chance to listen, here it is. If you glean value in it, it has three more parts.

We must set our foundation solidly on Christ in order to be victorious in the chaotic days ahead. Knowing who He is, and how He has defeated the enemies of God and man is critical for laying that foundation. It gives us the position we both stand and rest in.

You Are What You Tweet?

“Damn the torpedoes—full speed ahead!” —Adm. Farragut

I don’t know what Admiral Farragut would have thought of Artificial Intelligence (AI), but he would’ve known “Full speed ahead!” when he saw it. And that’s precisely what we’re doing with Artificial Intelligence: full speed ahead, what could possibly go wrong?

Just last week Google had to “pause” its AI Image Generation program—“pause” means “take it off-line”—while they tried to correct a wee “mistake” in the program. What mistake was that? Oh, nothing major. All they did was erase white people from history and make ‘em all black. Presidents (even George Washington!), popes, scientists, everyone who ever made a name in history—all black. This, they admitted, was “an inaccuracy.” Ya think?

But they’re not done yet, no, precious—plenty of capers left in that box.

This week’s plunge into AI featured a plan to “digitally” re-create your loved ones when they pass on. Well, hey, as long as it’s “digital”…! All they’ve got to do is create talking images that parrot the loved one’s collected tweets, emails, blog posts, etc. You are what you tweet.

Critics have warned that interfering with the grieving process—maybe even skipping it altogether—is something less than a ticket to robust mental health. They have even suggested that it might give rise to a new religion. We could call it “Full Speed Ahead-ism.” We could call the tweet-spouting images “ghosts.” O brave new world, that hath such people in it! (Shakespeare had a line for everything.)

Messing around with artificial “ghosts” is probably not such a hot idea, either. But we are galloping, stampeding, racing full-tilt into an AI universe—and torpedoes be damned.

What would a new religion, centered on AI, teach us? Besides how to be as crazy as a bedbug. Would it merge with Transgender Mania, or compete with it for what’s left of our souls? What are we to make of a “religion” that appoints each and every one of us his or her own creator, inhabiting his or her own made-up-as-you-go-along reality? Inquiring black female popes want to know! After all, they might wind up in charge of it.

I remember a few years ago when they tried to do this with holograms. That scheme fell through—too far ahead of its time, I suppose.

But hey now! Grandma isn’t really dead! Just park the monitor on the table, turn it on, and there she is for Thanksgiving dinner: artificial resurrection (AR)! So much handier than whatever you might find in the Bible. And no asking tricky questions, like “What does she do with herself when the monitor’s not on? Is Grandpa there, too? He never made any tweets or sent any emails while he was alive—but can he do it now, in cyberspace?”

That’ll be the next step, won’t it? Messages from anyone who ever lived—or didn’t live. You want to talk with the Cat in the Hat? AI will make it happen. Just ignore the torpedoes and enjoy the ride.

I have discussed these and other topics throughout the week on my blog, http://www.leeduigon.com/ . Click the link and maybe this time stumble into a totally new reality. My articles can also be found at www.chalcedon.edu/ .

Is Refusing to Wear a Mask Unconstitutional?

By Paul Engel

February 28, 2024

Are mask mandates constitutional?
Do you have a right to refuse to wear a mask?
Can you build a compelling argument for why you refuse?

I’ve spoken repeatedly about the unconstitutionality of most mask mandates. Recently, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals was asked to review two cases where people were punished for attending school board meetings while refusing to wear masks. Sadly, the cases, as described in the Circuit Court opinion, seem poorly founded, thus leading to decisions against the plaintiffs. I think a closer look will not only show the flaws in the case, but help others build better ones in the future.

Before we start, I want to state that the COVID-19 mask mandates were not only unconstitutional, but illegal as well, as I will show later in this review. However, we need to start where the Circuit Court started: With their own assumptions.

Background

The court stated their opinion with some background on the two cases they were reviewing.

On March 9, 2020, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency in response to the quickly spreading coronavirus known as COVID-19. … As we now know, it primarily spreads through airborne particles that accumulate in enclosed spaces, respiratory droplets produced when a person coughs, sneezes, or talks, and occasionally through contact with objects contaminated with the virus. How COVID-19 Spreads, CDC (Aug. 11, 2022), https://perma.cc/EPP9-AUWT.

In order to perform a fair review, we must take into consideration what was known back in 2020 even though much of it has since been proven false. We must also consider what is fact and what is opinion. For example, the court points to a statement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about how COVID-19 spreads. However, nothing in the document referenced even suggests that there are studies showing that this is how COVID spreads. This “common knowledge” may be based in some reason and logic, but that does not make it true. While later studies such as one known as the Chocrane Report found that, in general, masking made little if any difference in the transmission of SARS-COV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Individuals infected with COVID-19 can spread the disease while asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic, making the virus difficult to control.

Falcone v. Dickstein et. al. (22-2701) Opinion & Gwyneth K. Murray-Nolan et. al. (22-2702) Circuit Court Opinion

Once again, we see decisions being driven by assumptions that later turn out to be untrue. For example, Asymptomatic transmission of covid-19 was published in December of 2020, and stated.

Earlier estimates that 80% of infections are asymptomatic were too high and have since been revised down to between 17% and 20% of people with infections.

Asymptomatic transmission of covid-19

How are people supposed to make informed decisions with so many opinions being treated as scientific facts? In part because of these assumptions, Governor Murphy took several steps.

Over the course of the ensuing months, Governor Murphy issued a series of Executive Orders to monitor and curb its spread. One of them mandated that New Jersey schools “maintain a policy regarding mandatory use of face masks by staff, students, and visitors in the indoor portion of the school district premises,” except, for example, when an individual qualifies for and obtains a medical exemption. …

In preparation for the 2021-2022 school year, New Jersey School Districts—including the Freehold Township and Cranford Township School Districts—implemented mandatory indoor masking policies consistent with the Executive Order.

Falcone v. Dickstein et. al. (22-2701) Opinion & Gwyneth K. Murray-Nolan et. al. (22-2702) Circuit Court Opinion

Both Mr. Falcone and Ms. Murray-Nolan objected to the New Jersey mask mandate in schools. Both attended school board meetings unmasked, were confronted by members of the school board, and threatened by the board with contacting law enforcement. Both stated that attending the board meeting maskless was constitutionally protected political speech, and that the boards had retaliated against them for it, Mr. Falcone by the board canceling subsequent meetings and Ms. Murray-Nolan by her being arrested. Both eventually sued their respective school boards and law enforcement under 42 USC § 1983, Civil action for deprivation of rights and New Jersey Statutes Title 10. Civil Rights 10 § 6-2.

In Mr. Falcone’s case:

The District Court dismissed the amended complaint on the ground that Falcone had no standing to sue. It found his alleged injuries—the receipt of a summons and the Board’s meeting cancellation—were not “traceable” to the BOE or Police Defendants but instead to Governor Murphy’s Executive Order that the Board had to obey. … It followed, in the District Court’s view, that Falcone’s alleged injuries also were not “redressable” by injunctive relief because “an injunction directed at Defendants would not enjoin the Governor from implementing or enforcing a mask mandate.”

Falcone v. Dickstein et. al. (22-2701) Opinion & Gwyneth K. Murray-Nolan et. al. (22-2702) Circuit Court Opinion

The Circuit Court reversed that decision on standing, and remanded the case back to the District Court.

In Ms. Murray-Nolan’s case:

The District Court rejected the Cranford Defendants’ standing arguments but agreed Murray-Nolan failed to state a claim for First Amendment retaliation. … Her alleged “right to appear at [the Board meetings] without a mask” was not “inherently expressive” conduct, it reasoned, but rather was expressive only “because she told Defendants that it was, and sued to prove it.”

Falcone v. Dickstein et. al. (22-2701) Opinion & Gwyneth K. Murray-Nolan et. al. (22-2702) Circuit Court Opinion

The Circuit Court found:

Amid valid government-mandated health and safety measures, refusing to wear a face mask is not expressive conduct protected by the First Amendment. Murray-Nolan’s retaliation claim also fails because the police had probable cause to arrest her, and she does not link her constitutionally protected speech activities (e.g., her social media posts) to any of the Cranford Defendants’ allegedly retaliatory actions. We thus affirm the District Court’s dismissal of her amended complaint.

Falcone v. Dickstein et. al. (22-2701) Opinion & Gwyneth K. Murray-Nolan et. al. (22-2702) Circuit Court Opinion

Analyzing the Cases

In both cases, the plaintiffs sued under both state and federal laws, claiming a deprivation of rights under the First Amendment. While the court focused on issues of standing, I see a much more fundamental issue with both cases: The claim of a First Amendment violation. That amendment reads:

Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech,

U.S. Constitution, Amendment I

Many people claim that the Fourteenth Amendment somehow makes the First Amendment apply to the states, but the language of the Fourteenth Amendment does nothing to change the language of the First.

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;

U.S. Constitution, Amendment XIV

In my opinion, that makes the foundation of both of these cases very weak. They may have sued alleging violation of Article I, Section 6 of the New Jersey Constitution.

Every person may freely speak, write and publish his sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of that right. No law shall be passed to restrain or abridge the liberty of speech or of the press.

New Jersey Constitution, Article I, Clause 6

That is still a weak argument, since in neither case the plaintiff was prevented from speaking. Rather, what we have here is a deprivation of both liberty and property without due process of law.

nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;

U.S. Constitution, Amendment XIV

While this argument can be laid at the feet of the School Boards, it would more properly be extended to Gov. Murphy.

Every person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia, subjects, or causes to be subjected, any citizen of the United States or other person within the jurisdiction thereof to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the Constitution and laws, shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress

42 U.S.C. §1983

Rights Violated

Let’s look at the details of my argument for the rights of Mr. Falcone and Ms. Murray-Nolan being violated. Let’s start where this legal issue began, with Gov. Murphy’s executive order.

The Governor shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.

New Jersey Constitution, Article V, Section 1 Clause 11

The Governor of New Jersey has the power to make sure the laws be faithfully executed. Therefore, for Gov. Murphy’s executive order to be valid, it must be allowed under New Jersey law. I am not an expert on New Jersey law, so let’s assume that the law allows the Governor to issue such an executive order. There’s still one very serious problem with that mandate: It deprives people of both their liberty and the property they have in their own body without due process of law.

An established course for judicial proceedings or other governmental activities designed to safeguard the legal rights of the individual.

Due Process – The Free Legal Dictionary

Blanket mandates, such as those used by the State of New Jersey, violate due process because they do not safeguard the rights of the individual. There is no requirement someone be shown to have COVID-19 nor that they are contagious, before their liberty is infringed. As shown earlier in this article, the assumptions that supported the mask mandates were not based in rigorous scientific studies, but unsubstantiated statements from government agencies that do not legally exist. (The Constitution does not delegate to the United States the power to regulate public health, food, or drugs.)

Furthermore, in the United States, the government is supposed to have the burden of proof before they infringe on your rights. Since no probable cause was established that Mr. Falcone or Ms. Murray-Nolan were contagious, and therefore a danger to others, requiring them to wear masks violated their liberty. Also since wearing a mask can and does have an impact on the wearer, these mandates deprived them both of control of their property, namely their bodies. Even if we accept that at the time of these incidents, the medical establishment believed in the efficacy of wearing masks, the logic of mandates contradicts that assumption. After all, if masks were really that effective, why do they only work if everyone is wearing one? Since there was no due process either in the executive order creating the mask mandate or in its implementation, then the government-mandated health and safety measure was not, as the Circuit Court claimed, valid, and the school districts were not required to enforce them.

Since 42 USC §1983 states that “Every person who”, under color of law, deprives someone of a right protected by the Constitution or laws is liable, that would include not just the Governor, as the court stated, but both the board members and law enforcement as well.

Conclusion

I’m not saying this argument would have ultimately brought about a different outcome for Mr. Falcone or Ms. Murray-Nolan. However, imagine the scene where they entered the board meeting without masks. What if, rather than a general claim of speaking maskless being a constitutionally protected right, they could have provided both the board and law enforcement with a simple 1-2 page document pointing out that the governor’s executive order was unconstitutional and therefore void.

An unconstitutional act is not a law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; it affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation as inoperative as though it had never been passed.

Norton v. Shelby County :: 118 U.S. 425 (1886)

What if they could have stood in front of their boards and not only articulated their points in detail, but provided evidence both constitutional and judicial of the rightness of their point? What if, should law enforcement still have been engaged, they could show not only the unconstitutionality of the acts of the governor and the board, but their criminality as well?

An unconstitutional law is void, and is as no law. An offence created by it is not a crime. A conviction under it is not merely erroneous, but is illegal and void, and cannot be a legal cause of imprisonment.

Ex parte Siebold :: 100 U.S. 371 (1879)

Would the outcome of their situations have been different? We will never know. However, I for one have found that a well reasoned and supported case, especially with documentation, can have a profound impact on those we are trying to persuade.

Everyone Knows That The NFL Is RIGGED, How Are There Christians On The Football Field?

By Bradlee Dean

February 28, 2024

“All liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone.” -Revelation 21:8

Somehow or another, the American people have mistakenly made entertainers and professional athletes as people of importance so much so that they have put their idols, the players and teams, in the place of Christ (Exodus 20:13; Acts 4:12).

With all of the information coming out concerning the NFL and how it is rigged (scripted) from start to finish (Ephesians 4:14), one has to ask themselves why they are still watching it.

Yet, the point that I want to make here is the blatant hypocrisies of those who play the Christian in the midst of acting out the deceptions.

“He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” -1 John 2:4

Recently, a meme came out with Patrick Mahomes, quarterback (notice on the videos above that the quarterbacks are sought out in order to rig the games) for the Kansas City Chiefs, kneeling down and the meme read that he goes out onto the field and prays for 2 hours before every game that he plays. He says, “My Christian faith plays a role in everything I do.”

This contradicts the Word of God in every way.

The Lord condemns the idolatry of sports (Jeremiah 11:13). Those who are born of the Spirit of God do the things that the Spirit leads them to do (Romans 8:14). I don’t find the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers on a football field.

Christians do not lie or deceive others.

Apparently, Patrick Mahomes and his worshippers did not know that Scripture is clear in this matter when it tells us:

“A false witness will not go unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.” -Proverbs 19:9

Furthermore, the reason that his worshippers posted this meme was an attempt to justify themselves with the deceptive and unjustifiable acts of one that they worship.

In conclusion: Do not deceive yourselves into believing the Mahomes does not know what he is doing. He just signed a 450 million dollar deal with the NFL. This is where his heart is and it is who he serves (Matthew 6:21), so much so that he is willing to deceive others into believing what he clearly is not.

The Cloak of Grief and Despair

By Kelleigh Nelson

February 27, 2024

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love. —Washington Irving

Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief. —Marcus Tullius Cicero

Tears are the silent language of grief. —Voltaire

The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. —Psalm 34:18-19

Many of us are feeling weighed down with overwhelming grief at what is transpiring, not only in our country, but worldwide, and especially with the evil of Hamas, the Houthis and Hezbollah attacking God’s people, Israel.

The loss of so many blessings and freedoms awaken us each day with a morbid fear of what will come next. Not only is our country failing, but as we age, personal losses take a toll.

Friends my age say we lived through the best of times, and if I look back, I can say yes, many years were wonderful. But now I find myself crying out to the Lord and weeping more often than not.

The outlook seems so dreary. Yet I know that the Lord has His plans and no matter what, we win with Him. Yet I feel as though I’m drowning in the loss of freedoms, of friends, of trust and in hope for the future.

Thankfully, my husband always makes me laugh or I’d be sobbing all day long because of the evil that has become so staggering. What do people do without the Lord? I can’t imagine.

This article shares my heart wrenching feelings for two families. I felt that if I expressed my deep sadness on paper, perhaps the Lord would lift my grief.

Sadness and Loss

When I was in my late 30s or early 40s, my sweet maternal gramma was opening a note from her cousin who was an artist. He had sent a small colored pencil drawing and it was a lovely scene. My gram said to me, “The worst thing about growing old is losing family and friends.”

Gramma was so right. So many of our friends are gone, and so many have lost their spouses. The grief is overwhelming for those left alone, and try as we might to help, no one but the Lord can ease the sorrow of losing a life partner. I watched it with my mom and I watched it with my grandparents and many dear friends. Call those friends for lunch, go shopping with them, send them cards or occasional flowers. Love and caring are so needed through the lonely days of heartbreaking loss.

My husband and I live in a very small community. Down the street from us were two elderly people, Henry and Carol, who are dear friends. Both had lost their first spouses and knew each other from church. Maybe 10 or more years ago, they married and Carol sold her home and moved into Henry’s home. During the Covid years, Carol came down with the virus and recovered in a week, even though in her 80s. Her husband refused to sleep in another bedroom in case Carol needed him, and he never contracted Covid. Our Lord is good!

When the Covid “vaccines” came out, Henry had them both get them. A year later Carol, who had never been on a medication in her life, had a stroke while driving to pick up Henry from dialysis. She ended up in hospital and then in rehab, and then home again. They had to rely on church friends to be drivers for Henry as Carol was no longer allowed to drive.

Another year passed and Carol was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. She’s now on added medications.

Recently, Henry’s two remaining children urged them to go into assisted living. Carol did not want to do that, and didn’t want to leave their home, but ultimately this is what happened. Henry lost his one daughter several years back and he said many times that she was the only daughter who had grown into a wonderful woman; he didn’t have much use for his son and the other daughter. Those two seem driven by greed and both of them speak ill of their father and his second wife.

The son and daughter cleaned Henry and Carol’s house out and had an estate sale. One of Carol’s friends would drive her to the house to see if there was anything else she wanted before it was gone, but Henry’s two children became angry with her and disallowed her to enter her own home. The house will be sold to pay for the cost of assisted living.

Henry and Carol are not happy where they are, but the dye has been cast and now there is no turning back. These two people are locked away and will perish in this place they detest because of their age and Henry’s children. Neither of Henry’s children work and both could have helped with their father and his wife to allow them to remain in their home. Carol’s sons have had to go along with this as only one son lives close and he is still employed.

How sad this makes me for them both. We will miss them both, but especially Carol, and I know how desperate she feels. She is no longer independent and cannot have any time for herself away from people or even Henry. My heart breaks for them.

Cancer Diagnosis and Fenbendazole

Our neighbor next door is in his early 50s, and his wife is in her late 40s. Both are still working and they have no children. Joe is a smoker and every night he imbibes red wine. Nothing wrong with that except now he has lung cancer. His wife has always worked in medical offices, and she noticed that Joe was coughing more than normal. She sent him for tests.

At first, he was diagnosed with pneumonia and was given medications and inhalers. The inhalers gave him kidney infections (a side effect of the brand). When he recovered, he was sent for further testing and over a period of six to eight months he finally received the diagnosis of lung cancer in one lung in an area that is inoperable. Oncologists have him on 27 weeks of chemo with a port going into the lung. He was told to stop smoking, but we still see him with cigarettes. Radiation follows the chemo and then removal of the one lung. His wife, Bonnie, is pleased that cancer is only in one lung. Joe doesn’t have any extra meat on his bones, so these treatments will really be difficult.

There are some amazing results with Fenbendazole in treating cancers; it’s another anti-parasitic like Ivermectin. In fact, ABC interviewed a man who was told that his cancer had spread. Watch the video with Joe Tippens talking about being diagnosed with lung cancer, given three months to live, and then being cured with Fenbendazole and vitamins. Six years later he is still alive.

In Dr. David Williams’ important eight-page article, A Cure for Cancer, Hidden in Plain Sight he writes about Fenbendazole. If you have cancer, or you know anyone who has cancer, give them this article.

Dr. Williams explains what happened to Joe Tippens.

“Two days later, Joe contacted his friend, a large animal veterinarian, who had posted a story online about a scientist working for Merck pharmaceuticals in the veterinary division. The scientist happened to be testing the effects of their existing products on mice that had various cancers. That’s when she discovered that one of their dog products (a dewormer) was 100 percent effective. This same scientist had stage 4 brain cancer and, like Joe, was also given three months to live. She started taking the dog dewormer and six weeks later, she was clear of the cancer.”

In 2002, while working at MD Anderson, Dr. Tapas Mukhopadhyay and his colleagues reported that mebendazole elicited a potent antitumor effect on human cancer cell lines both in vitro and in vivo. It is a sister product to Fenbendazole and is typically found in deworming products for humans.

He went further in 2012 and published another study showing that fenbendazole was a potent compound for inhibiting the growth of cancer cells without doing any harm to or affecting the growth of normal cells.

Again in 2018, Dr. Mukhopadhyay published yet another study highlighting fenbendazole as a safe and inexpensive anthelmintic drug possessing “efficient antiproliferative activity” in human cancer cells. (This basically means it inhibits the growth of cancer cells.)

In that same report the doctor stated that FDA and others had published pre-clinical data on toxicology studies showing that dosages several times the approved dosages had no adverse side effects in animals.

MD Anderson isn’t the only facility that has knowledge of fenbendazole.

Dr. Williams writes, “In 2009, researchers at Johns Hopkins evaluated various drugs for treatment of glioblastoma—the most common brain cancer in adults. It is very aggressive, with the average survival 11 to 15 months, and it is considered incurable. They implanted the cancer cells into the brains of mice, which is the normal procedure in these types of studies. Before implanting the cells, however, these particular mice were treated for pinworms with fenbendazole. The brain cancer did not develop. It never grew.”

Stanford Medical Center reports that Fenbendazole is a completely safe and effective antineoplastic agent that can be repurposed for human use in treating genitourinary malignancies.

On page six, Dr. Williams gives Joe Tippens’ protocol with 222 mg. Fenbendazole daily and three other vitamin supplements.

In a recent Canada Free Press article, it included a video of a Marine who had chemo, radiation and surgery but it had not stopped his stage 4 colon cancer. He was told by his oncologist to call Hospice. Kevin Hennings’ sister called him and told him to try Fenbendazole. He tells the story, how he took both Fenbendazole and Ivermectin and is now cancer free.

Joe and Bonnie were given all of this information. I don’t believe they watched any of the videos or read Dr. Williams’ article. They said they’d stick with chemo, radiation and the removal of one lung.

I’ve laid in bed at night thinking that if only he’d start on the Fenbendazole protocol now, he may save his lung from being removed and cure himself of the cancer. Instead, he’ll feed the cancer with the sugar in his evening wine, when he most likely could cure the disease and save his lung.

Joe Tippens is a foody and he never stopped eating whatever he wanted, yet the cancer was still destroyed.

My heart breaks because there is a possible cure for Joe, but they still trust the Medical Industrial Complex and the standard poison, burn and cut treatments for cancers.

Conclusion, Our Lord’s Love

In David’s imprecatory Psalm 56:8-9, he is crying out to the Lord. He says, “Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.”

David begins this sad psalm with the words “Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me; all day long an attacker oppresses me.” The Philistines had captured David in Gath, and David was, at the time he wrote this psalm, a prisoner of war, and he had reason to cry and be sorrowful. David says that his struggles are recorded in God’s book (verse 8), and he asks God to put his tears in His bottle.

The idea behind the keeping of “tears in a bottle” is remembrance. David is expressing a deep trust in God, that God will remember his sorrow and tears and will not forget about him. He says, in the midst of this troubling time, “When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: This I know; for God is for me.” (Psalm 56:9) and in verse 11, he states, “In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.”

The Lord remembers all the things that happen in our lives, including the suffering endured for His sake. In fact, there are many instances in Scripture of God’s recognition of man’s suffering. God is a tender-hearted Father to us, a God who feels with us and weeps with us, “And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows.” (Exodus 3:7)

If we believe the promises of God, we must wait upon Him, long for Him daily, listen to Him in our quiet times, look to Him for our every need, and truly live for Him throughout our lives no matter what trials come.

He hears every cry of those who belong to Him.

Winning Arguments in the Narrative Wars (Hint: You Can’t)

By Steven Yates

February 27, 2024

“I argue very well. Ask any of my remaining friends. I can win an argument on any topic against any opponent. People know this, and steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great respect … they don’t even invite me.” —Dave Barry

A couple of weeks ago I watched a mentoring-type video (no longer available, as its creator only keeps these up for 72 hours, for reasons of his own) on the theme of how to win any argument. As a one-time logic instructor (ghost out of my past) and a narrative warrior (sort of, kind of, my glorious present), I was fascinated!

Intellect versus Basic Beliefs and Mental Prisms

The presenter focused on the difference between intellect and basic beliefs. Intellect is how smart you are, sometimes reflected in strings of university-gained credentials. In my experience, people who are unquestionably smart — some of them light years ahead of me in their specialties — can still believe some incredibly stupid things outside those specialties. Or so they seem!

Basic beliefs are often a product of unconscious conditioning. The process gets started in childhood, long before the child develops a capacity to rationally evaluate an idea or belief system. A few develop this capacity as they reach adulthood, and the results overturn a lot of what they grew up believing.

This happened in my case, and in other folks I’ve numbered among friends and acquaintances over the accumulated years.

Most others sleepwalk into adulthood still seeing everything through the mental prism supplied by the belief system they were immersed in as children and never learned to question.

What they see, they see only in ways that reinforce their belief system. Logicians call this confirmation bias. What doesn’t reinforce their basic beliefs, they often won’t see at all.

That calls forth the perennial question: what happens when people with different belief systems meet, start interacting, and discover how different they are from one another? They have different narratives. Each will have all sorts of questions for the other, but few for themselves.

All too many such interactions descend into sarcasm and ridicule. Examples permeate daily newspapers, letters to the editor, comments sections, blogs, and mostly unmoderated online forums. Very productive stuff!

The unpleasant truth: where basic beliefs are concerned, persuading people to change their minds using intellectual arguments is extremely difficult, and if others aren’t open to being persuaded, it isn’t doable at all. Those across the aisle won’t hear, because they can’t hear. That mental prism I mentioned is screening out everything you’re saying. If you double down, you’re only going to drive them away. This is why most arguments over politics and religion (and sex) are lose-lose propositions.

This applies directly to the narrative wars we’re in.

The Narrative Wars

I don’t doubt that a lot of urbanized, left-leaning foot soldiers in corporate media, the legal system, the entertainment industry, and of course academia, are scratching their heads at Donald Trump’s continued popularity despite those 91 felony charges and civil suits that so far have cost him (on paper, anyway) around half a billion dollars. Trump remains the Republican base’s favorite. That same base is dismissing Nikki Haley as George W. Bush in a dress.

The present-day GOP base’s firm belief is that the allegations against Trump are political, and hence invalid.

What’s the basic belief system here? For many, it’s that they’ve been thrown to the wolves by an Establishment (large corporations including former employers as well as the federal government) that couldn’t care less about them and proves this with its insults about, e.g, “deplorables.”

And since most are white, they see Establishment policies like Diversity-Equity-Inclusion which includes everyone except them, as disadvantaging them educationally, careerwise, religiously, culturally.

A recent group of academics — political scientists, I hear, led by a guy with the unlikely name of Brandon Rottinghaus — has ranked the presidents. They put Abraham Lincoln at the top of their list as the greatest U.S. president. Guess who they relegated to the bottom. I probably don’t have to tell you.

The GOP base is going to respond to what they regard as yet another provocation that this is the best reason they’ve seen this week why no one should pay attention to woke academics.

I honestly believe the academics, and many of their counterparts in media and elsewhere, see themselves as trying to secure “our endangered democracy,” i.e., the “democratic institutions” that constitute “our” Establishment.

If the divisions are this intractable, how does one win any argument? How do you cross the conceptual gulf created by the narrative wars?

You Can’t Win, So You Shouldn’t Try

The unfortunate answer: you don’t.

Your best bet — unless you’re in the business of writing about this sort of thing, like I am — is not to begin arguing.

Remember the old rhyme: a man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still.

Most people are going to believe what they want to believe. They are just following their childhood imprinting.

This will tell them that most of the time they can trust the authorities, at least on “important stuff” including governance. They are going to reinterpret whatever evidence you present in terms of what that mental prism allows them to see.

And speaking of evidence (since every day I see phrases like so-and-so claimed without evidence that…), those locked into agendas or serving such will demand evidence, or imply lack of such, when confronted with something they don’t want to believe. If you point to evidence, they’ll move the goalposts. They’ll either dismiss your claim, denying that it exists or reinterpreting it to fit their prism. They’ll then tell you, “there’s no evidence.”

Continuing the argument is a loser’s game.

If it’s something they believe, or want to believe, they couldn’t care less about evidence.

Example: corporate media and the entire deep state behind it want to believe Vladimir Putin is responsible for Russian political prisoner Alexei Navalny’s death last week. No one appears to have noticed that nothing, no direct chain of causality, connects Putin to Navalny’s death.

Meanwhile, speaking of political prisoners, no one in “legacy” media even mentions the ongoing effort to extradite Julian Assange to the U.S. to face trial for the “crime” of exposing deep state war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan spread across two administrations, one of an Establishment Republican, the other an Establishment Democrat.

Their mental prisms simply won’t let them see it!

See how this works?

Flat-Earthism and Other Christian Mental Prisms

Among my Christian friends are a few folks who now think the Earth is flat.

They think Biblical references to a “firmament in the heavens” (Genesis) and God’s “laying the foundations of the world” (Job) are literal and not figurative, and require a flat Earth.

It’s clear: I’m not going to argue them out of this belief, and I’ve learned not to try.

One of my beliefs is that God created a world that ultimately makes sense, at least some of its truths discoverable by physical science, because He created us with intellects capable of such an endeavor. I don’t see how the technological civilization we’ve built over the past few centuries would have been possible, were this false. But that’s just me.

I’m prepared to respond to claims about the Earth being flat with something like, “That’s what you think? How interesting!” And then dropping it.

Incidentally, I also don’t think there’s going to be a “rapture.” This, it seems to me, is based on an elementary misreading of II Thess 4:16 – 5:2, combined with Matthew 24. My reference here is typically to Gary DeMar’s Myths, Lies & Half-Truths: How Misreading Their Bibles Neutralizes Christians (2000).

I think that when whatever happens, happens, Christians are going to be clobbered right along with everyone else — in the short term, anyway.

Guess what? I’ve never convinced anyone of this, either. I don’t try. (Maybe DeMar, unlike myself a real theologian, had better results disputing dispensationalism.)

Wisdom: A Theory

Wisdom — that which a trained philosopher such as myself is supposed to “love” — surely includes the insight (among others) that humans are more emotional than rational. It has been understood at least since the Scottish philosopher David Hume wrote of it in his Treatise of Human Nature (1730s) that emotions are more powerful motives to action than reason. Most if not all worldview beliefs are held for emotional and not rational reasons. In most cases, it does not occur to the believer that his worldview could be false.

This is not to say that reasons are irrelevant, or that persuasion is utterly impossible. But most of the time, what I said above applies: there will be goalpost-moving and reasons either won’t be seen or won’t be seen as decisive.

You have to decide if making an effort is worth your time and energy. That is going to depend on your situation: who are you trying to persuade, and why?

Atheists are convinced that a complete world-explanation is possible without a God. Okay….

In my 60-something years of experience, the atheists I’ve known have usually been more obsessed with God, Christ, religion, etc., than I ever thought of being. I’ve come to find this phenomenon — well — interesting.

I noticed this back in the ‘00s’ when I was dating a woman who confided to me that she didn’t believe in God. At some point I must have said I was a believer. Both of us were supporting Dr. Ron Paul for the 2008 GOP nomination. It’s how we met. But somehow, despite the many practical problems involved in trying to sell reluctant Republicans on Dr. Paul’s messages about the Federal Reserve, the debt bubble that even then was starting to blow up in our faces (think: 2008), the American war machine, etc., every conversation we had somehow went back to religion. I wasn’t the one bringing it up.

The relationship ended after she accused me of “talking down” to her. I was surprised it lasted as long as it did (over a year).

Wisdom also includes knowing the difference between a person’s deeply held beliefs which have become part of their identity versus workaday problems that come our way, about which we can agree are problems (the Paul campaign gave us plenty of those!).

At that point in my own development I’d not yet realized the harsh truth: Dr. Paul was far too intellectual for the emotion-driven American public.

Trump succeeded where Dr. Paul failed because he connected with people on an emotional level. Did he not seem to understand their problems and confidently tell them, beginning back in 2015, “I can fix this!”

Problem-Solving: The Biggest Problem We Face

We humans are, in a very general sense of the term, problem-solvers. The world presents us with an abundance of problems to solve. Some of us get very good at problem-solving in our respective niches. One way of getting rich — or so I am told — is to solve a problem and be able to sell your solution to a lot of people, or to a corporation.

Among our biggest present-day problems are the narrative wars. My counsel, increasingly, is: instead of arguing, walk away. Become independent in as many areas of your life as you can: financial, in terms of food production, in terms of health and safety. Bring family on board to the greatest extent you can (hopefully you’re not “yoked” to a spouse who doesn’t “get it”). Identify like-minded others you can work with locally.

Forget about those obviously aligned with the Establishment. If you can’t get local representatives on board, forget about them.

Ignore leftist pronouncements. Ignore what “LGBTQIAZYXWV+” types are doing if it’s not affecting you or your family. You don’t have a moral obligation to save the world.

If you direct your limited energies into activities you can control, you might soon be in a position to help others.

I don’t know that this it solves the biggest problem, which gives me the most sleepless nights.

And this is?

Science fiction writer Robert A. Heinlein’s character Lazarus Long put it this way:

Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

Behind the narrative wars and specifics such as Trump versus Biden is this much deeper clash: between that minority that feels compelled to control whole populations, versus those who want to be left alone.

Whatever actions the latter take have to include defense of their turf. They can’t assume that if they’re nice to the wolves, the wolves will stop being wolves and be nice right back. That’s not how the world works.

Worse still: today’s majority doesn’t much care if they’re controlled, so long as they have sports, Netflix, TikTok, and beer.

Which means: those standing on their demand to be left alone constitute another minority. The “silent majority” some appeal to simply doesn’t exist.

A Remnant

It might be helpful, or at least calming, to realize that both this clash and the dilemmas posed by mass indifference are as old as the human race itself. The prophet Isaiah faced them, when God commanded him to go to a corrupted and decadent Ninevah and preach what the corporatists of his day, were there any, would doubtless have called a message of doom-and-gloom.

God implied that he’d not be listened to and would be lucky if he got out with his hide intact. “Why bother?” he might have asked. The answer:

Unless the Lord of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been made like Gomorrah (Isaiah 1:9).

See Albert Jay Nock’s amazing essay “Isaiah’s Job.”

There’s a Remnant out there, a third minority within the majority. Nock wrote of the Remnant:

They are obscure, unorganized, inarticulate, each one rubbing along as best he can. They need to be encouraged and braced up because when everything has gone completely to the dogs, they are the ones who will come back and build up a new society; and meanwhile, your preaching will reassure them and keep them hanging on. Your job is to take care of the Remnant, so be off now and set about it.

Today’s Remnant has the Internet. They need not be unorganized and inarticulate. Many are probably awake (not “woke”!) and aware. That’s who we are writing for, on Substack, independent sites like NewsWithViews.com, and others.

It’s helpful to realize that history moves in cycles. Civilizations rise. They forget the attitudes, aptitudes, and values that made their rise possible. The majority of their people grow soft, complacent, and entitled. Those motivated by power then move. Initially they meet with little resistance. Civilizations become divided and decadent. The power-hungry encourage both, because divided and decadent populations are easier to control. But they can’t control the Remnant. The Remnant are neither powerful nor power-hungry, though. They can’t prevent a civilizational downturn, or decline.

We’re definitely in a downturn, as consolidations of wealth and power grow and freedom shrinks. Today’s Remnant is still our best hope for Renewal and Rebuilding. Its members don’t think in terms of civil war. They aren’t violent. I’ve inveighed against thinking in such terms. Civil war, if it happened on U.S. soil under today’s circumstances (“blue” versus “red”; urban versus rural; ethnicity against ethnicity) would be nasty and brutal.

The powerful would be the only victors.

Wisdom thus lies in realizing that in the end, no civilization based on accumulated monies and power has ever endured. It invariably falls from within. A “new world order” based on a Great Reset (or a Great Taking) would be no exception. Let’s see to it that the Remnant is ready. This means forgetting about convincing those on the other side, or any majority, with intellectual arguments, and instead reaching out to those who are willing and able to build a future based on responsible freedom.

I Demand Biden Forgive My Home Mortgage Loan

By: Devvy

February 26, 2024

Right before the 2022 election selection, the career criminal in the WH decided for votes to “forgive” college student loans. Well, since Biden has advanced from dementia (which the corrupt DNC KNEW when they ran him in 2020) to Stage 1 Altzheimer’s, anyone with an open mind can see that befuddled old man is not in charge. Old Joe could care less about the hardship of student loans.

No question for those who fully understand the game being played, dirty Marxist traitor and yet another constitutionally ineligible individual to hold the office of president, can see Hussein Obama and his underlings are running the show. Of course, Obama takes his marching orders from the shadow government kingpins.

There are some historical and legal facts Americans must understand. First, no where in Art. II, Section 2 does it give any president under our Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land, any authority to sign unconstitutional bills into law, independently create an agency or cabinet. That includes the Federal Department of Education. Way back in 1867, President Andrew Johnson signed the Department of Education Act in 1867. Johnson was told the act was ‘harmless’.

Of course, it rumbled and tumbled around from agency to agency gradually becoming worthless. Its role back then was described as a tool to collect data and information from schools and teaching methods that allegedly would create great school systems.

Give tyrants an inch and they take a mile; that first Dept. of Ed morphed into the Office of Education via the unconstitutional Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare which then split off the education branch. Then in 1979, peanut pusher, do-gooder, Jimmy Caaarter [D] signed the unconstitutional Department of Education Organization Act into “law”.

Second, no where in Article 1, Sec. 8 of the U.S. Constitutional (Legislative Authority) does it give a scintilla of authority for Congress or any agency they create to hand out loans. Not to banks, school students, Macy’s, GM/Chrysler, Ducks Unlimited or small businesses to name a few. Go read it. Example: “To promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries;” Promote does not mean fund.

Ah, I know what you’re thinking but Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are congressional charters. Again, nowhere in Article 1, Sec. 8 of the U.S. Constitution, Legislative Powers of Congress, can one find the authority to set up congressional charters. Forget the free-for-all “general welfare” clause. The best analysis is on this page with several sections: General Welfare Clause – Tenth Amendment Center

The whole purpose in drafting what became the U.S. Constitution was to ensure a LIMITED FORM OF REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT. No, not the Republican Party and not a democracy which is mob rule. The ‘Founding Fathers’ were firm in their commitment to a limited government. For decades we’ve had – thanks to both parties – a bloated monster destroying our once great republic and about half the adult population now dependent and subservient for mother government’s financial largess.

Ronnie Reagan campaigned on the promise of abolishing the unconstitutional Federal Dept of Education. Once elected, those promises blew away in the wind of politics and voters who care nothing about the Constitution.

“11. Because we trust our fellow Americans, rather than centralized government, we believe the people, acting through their State and local elected officials, should have control over programs like education and welfare – thereby pushing power away from official Washington and returning it to the people in their communities and states.” 1996 Republican Party Platform which has been shredded by RINO’s and cowards in Congress and our Texas state legislature.

When presidential candidate Bob Dole [R] ran, he clearly and publicly stated it was time to get rid of the Federal Dept of Ed. Of course, by that time the PRIVATE teacher’s unions pretty much controlled that cabinet and they vote. They are a major factor in destroying public education in this country.

In 2010, 111 incumbent House Republicans (and 12 senators) supported getting rid of the Federal Dept of Education. Most are gone now. Constitutionally grounded Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) brought forth a bill to get rid of that unconstitutional cabinet many years ago and has reintroduced it session after session after session including this one: H.R. 899[1].

“Unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C., should not be in charge of our children’s intellectual and moral development,” Massie said two years ago. “States and local communities are best positioned to shape curricula that meet the needs of their students. Schools should be accountable. Parents have the right to choose the most appropriate educational opportunity for their children, including home school, public school or private school.”

When Republicans held the majority in both the House and Senate under Trump less than two dozen Republicans supported getting rid of that unconstitutional cash cow propaganda operation funded by BORROWED money from Congress’ candy store, the FED. States are under NO obligation to have any ties with that cabinet and should cut them off.

Massie’s bill will die again this December. Another unconstitutional cabinet with a 2024 budget of $90 BILLION BORROWED DOLLARS WITH INTEREST. We pay federal “income” taxes for education. We pay either personal state or sales tax (here in Texas we have no personal state income tax) for education. But, since the people’s purse is over $34 TRILLION in debt there’s no money. Dial up the FED.

Contractual legal responsibility

When someone signs a contract to repay a loan they are expected to do so. Automobile, motorcycle, home, piece of land, personal loan through a bank. When the Federal Dept of Ed started making unconstitutional loans to students, they then became loaded with debt before they even graduate – if they ever do. It sickens me so many parents push their child(ren) into a community college, university, state college who really don’t want to go. Oh, but the parents! Our son/daughter is the first in our family to go to college! But, we can’t afford it, so let them take on massive debt in the form of loans and the Dept of Ed is very so happy to make those illegal loans while so many students drop out and still owe the money they signed a contract to repay.

What percentage of college students drop out after the first year? How many students drop out of college after a few years? Fairly consistent since 2021 is every year it’s about a 40% college dropout rate. As of September 2023, outstanding student loan debt was $1.74 TRILLION dollars. Think about that and why so many either can’t or won’t repay what they owe when they signed for the loan. Why pay back a $20,000 student loan when you dropped out during the second year?

In June 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court said Biden had no legal authority to cancel or reduce student debt loans. Joe’s response? I don’t give a damn what the Supreme Court says and continues to screw YOU the taxpayer: Page 3, “(a) The text of the HEROES Act does not authorize the Secretary’s loan forgiveness program.” Yet, it’s still going on.

Only Congress has the power to screw taxpayers for student loan “forgiveness”. Attending college or a university in this country is ELECTIVE. There is no law requiring any American to attend a college or university and besides the loans being unconstitutional since they are handed out by an unconstitutional cabinet, it is FLAT OUT MORALLY WRONG to let the borrower off the hook.

Do I want kids who truly want to attend an institution that used to be of “higher learning”? Has student loan debt caused terrible financial problems for the student who can’t pay? Yes, very much so and something he/she should have considered very carefully before signing a legal loan obligation. How many hundreds of thousands since those loans started being handed out like candy on Halloween end up with useless degrees and can’t find jobs? They end up flipping burgers or delivering pizzas. Nothing wrong with working for an honest day’s pay, but when you’ve got $75,000 or more in college debt loans, well, you get the picture.

Those with student loan debt working for minimum wage can’t make the payments or refuse to even try because their degree in some idiotic field that was the fad and oh, so woke now can’t get them a cup of coffee. It’s called buyer’s remorse. But, that does not erase their legal obligation. I truly do feel sorry for young adults who made such a bad decision but it’s not my responsibility to loan you money to attend college any more than it’s moral to force you through taxation to make my home mortgage payment. No one forced me to buy my house and when I signed the loan documents, it legally obligates me to pay back the principle plus whatever interest is attached to the loan.

How would you like it if career criminal Biden declares a mortgage forgiveness for homeowners struggling to make payments? You will end up paying for that debt in more taxes (even though you rent because you can’t afford a house) just like the student loans being forgiven. Right now, numbers of bankruptcies are climbing and banks once again just like 2008 onward are starting to build inventories of repossessed homes.

There’s something many don’t know: How Student Loan Default Affects Your Social Security Benefits – “When you default on federal student loans, you should know the government will find a way to get their money back and make your finances much more difficult to manage until they do. For example, you can get sued and have your wages garnished at work—but that’s far from the extent of it.

“According to the U.S. Department of Education, defaulting on student loans can also lead you to have your tax refunds and federal benefits payments (like Social Security payments) withheld and applied to your defaulted loans through a process called Treasury Offset.5”

Biden did it for votes but the U.S. Supreme Court said no. No problem, Biden’s lackeys are still doing it and the hell with the court’s decision. Why? Because no one is trying to stop it. (Empasis mine.)

The Supreme Court rejects Biden’s plan to wipe away $400 billion in student loan debt, June 30, 2023 – “The court held that the administration needed Congress’ endorsement before undertaking so costly a program. The majority rejected arguments that a bipartisan 2003 law dealing with national emergencies, known as the HEROES Act, gave Biden the power he claimed.”

Biden cancels $1.2 billion in student debt six months ahead of schedule – President Biden has now bailed out more than 3.9 million student loan borrowers without an act of Congress, Feb. 21, 2024

So where is Congress? Shush. It’s an election year.

My question: Can Congress sue? I’m not a lawyer and have no legal training but I can read, research and more importantly, understand what I’m reading. (Emphasis mine below.)

Student Loans, Congress, and Standing: How the House Can Sue the Biden Administration, Sept 1, 2022, The Congressional Institute

“Summary: President Joe Biden’s plan to forgive student loans exceeds his authority under the Constitution and Federal law—an encroachment on Congress’s authority. To reaffirm congressional authority, the House should employ the Boehner Doctrine and vote to sue the Biden Administration. Though most House Democrats may support the President, moderate Democrats may join the minority Republicans by voting for a resolution to authorize a lawsuit.

“It is fairly easy to come up with policy reasons why President Biden’s plan to forgive $400 billion worth of college debt is bad. The dollar amount of this loan forgiveness will likely exceed the entire amount of the much-ballyhooed, if wrongly named, Inflation Reduction Act. A loan is a legal contract that people willingly enter. What other loans are people just allowed to walk away from without declaring bankruptcy?

“It is deeply wrong to make people who could not go to college pay for people who do. From an equity perspective, it is helping the well-to-do at the expense of hard-working men and women. It is another $400 billion infusion into the economy that will just make inflation worse – and it will also make it last longer. But perhaps most importantly, forgiving this debt requires a law passed by Congress, not an unconstitutional presidential executive action.

Standing and the Student Loans

“The problem with challenging the Biden Administration in this is, how to stop it? Plaintiffs in a lawsuit must demonstrate that they have standing to sue, which means that the defendant’s actions must have injured them, and the courts can right the alleged wrong.

“Who then, according to the courts, has the legal standing to file suit against the Biden Administration?

“Normally, a private citizen or organization would sue the government, asking Judicial Branch to halt some action on the part of the Executive Branch. Could a private citizen who is not eligible for the loan repayment argue that they were injured on the grounds that the plan transfers a massive debt from one group of citizens to the population as a whole?

Rest at link.

Please note here in Texas we have what’s known as taxpayer’s standing which is what allowed me to sue the Secretary of State to keep any candidates for U.S. Senator off the ballot because I had iron clad proof the Seventeenth Amendment was not ratified by enough states. Two states short and the corrupt have gotten away with it thanks to cowardly judges here in Texas.

In summary, you’re struggling to put healthy food on the table while inflation is eating US alive. Struggling to pay your health care premiums, auto insurance or rent while Americans with student loan debt are now having their debt forgiven paid for by you.

I’m sorry for Americans at any age who took on unconstitutional student loans but it was your decision and it’s your responsibility to honor the debt, not mine or my sister or my neighbor who didn’t go to college but rather works in construction or went to cosmetology school. I know this will anger those who are counting on getting their student debt wiped out, but put the shoe on the other foot and then hate me for writing this column.

Where is the U.S. House of Representatives? Holding a razor thin margin, I believe they can file a lawsuit now and get it on the docket.

I MUST add this because several primaries are coming up and then Super Tuesday, March 5^th with 16 states primaries; see schedule here. There is, IMHO, only ONE choice for Doanld Trump to make regarding a VP pick. It’s is NOT Vivek! Rama-smarmy in bed with the commies (his pharma businesses) who looks down his nose at you. Do not be fooled by him. A very polished hustler. Rama-smarmy has attached himself to Trump like glue. It’s all about money – for himself.

Tulsi Gabbard no one wants. Yes, she served our country and is against wars for profit but she is NOT a natural born citizen and therefore ineligible to be president. While in Congress did nothing other than go along to get along.

Sen. Tim Scott seems like a genuinely nice man. He believes the states should NOT address the killing of the unborn. How unfortunate. Supports “free” trade which has killed our ag, industrial and manufacturing sectors which made us the wealthiest debt free nation in all of history. Supports one of Trump’s biggest mistakes: USMCA. Once again, those advising him suckered Trump on the USMCA. Scott signed the term limit pledge: 12 years US. Senator and you’re gone. Scott became a U.S. Senator in 2013. That means he’s promised to leave by 2025.

Do NOT be fooled by S. Dakota guv, Miss Fashion Plate herself who never met a mirror she didn’t love. Gov. Kristi Noem is NOT as popular as people think. Good PR machine but I know people who live in S. Dakota and they do not support her for VP as well as many constitutional organizations. When employers in Noem’s state demanded people take those deadly EXPERIMENTAL GENE THERAPY injections (passed off as COVID vaccines), Noem publicly stated if people didn’t like the mandates go find another job. Disgusting.

I caught a recent interview with her on either Clay & Buck or Hannity where she bragged about this program: Noem’s Numbers Don’t Prove Real Change in Job Growth from Bad-Plumber Ads, Jan. 10, 2024. She also vetoed a hemp legalization bill, a bill many lawmakers in her own party supported. Very stupid. HEMP: The Revolution America Needs to Prosper, Mine, U.S Observer Newspaper

Reality: I am voting for Trump again but by the time he’s sworn in (unless the Democrat/Communist Party USA is able to pull of another steal), President-Elect Trump will be 78 years old. (Born June 14, 1946). Hopefully, he will live a longer life; he’s in good physical shape and mentally sharp as a tack as they say. However, we are on God’s schedule not ours.

A VP is one heart beat from the Oval Office. My personal and ONLY pick is Sen. J.D. Vance from Ohio. Vance seriously opposed Trump in 2016 but like so many others, he watched Trump and everything he was trying to get done while fighting off his own party and corrupt judges (think the wall) and eventually has become a staunch supporter. Vance also firmly believes the 2020 election was stolen from Trump. The bottom line for me is Vance is very intelligent; I watch C-SPAN hearings, I do research, serious research. I follow voting records.

Not only is Vance very intelligent, but should it happen, Vance IMHO is the only individual who could step right into the presidency fully prepared. I also believe Vance would work very well with Trump as they’re “on the same page”. Very important when you consider what happened with Benedict Arnold, Mike Pence. J.D. Vance is a rarity in DC. He’s a fighter and not afraid of the shadow government (some call deep state). Vance is a man of courage and integrity. You may feel differently but I’m simply stating why I believe he should be Trump’s pick.

In politics, optics are a big deal. J.D. Vance appeals to both men and women. If you feel he would make the best choice for Trump, put it up on Trump’s social media platform NOW and maybe, just maybe, Trump will see how many Americans want Vance as his VP. I do think there’s a good chance Trump will make a VP announcement after Super Tuesday and I pray it’s not Noem, Rama-smarmy, Scott, Gabbard or Byron Donalds. DeSantis being thrown out there is just more noise.

Save your energy sending me nasty email. I was a substitute school teacher for three years until the mask mandate and I said good-bye. Even if I were a full-time teacher, I would never join a teacher’s union. I’ve read a whole lot of books and articles on this from those deeply entrenched in trying to save America’s children from being dumbed down in public schools.

America is learning the devastating power of teacher unions – “Teacher unions are different from unions in the private sector. When they negotiate, they often sit across from bosses they helped elect through millions of dollars in campaign contributions, with parents and kids excluded from the process.”

University of Georgia Coed Laken Riley’s Death on You Joe Biden

By Frosty Wooldridge

February 26, 2024

For the past three years and two months, senile, decrepit and incompetent Joe Biden has invited 11 million illegal aliens to jump our borders—among them—Islamic terrorists, criminals, sex traffickers, drug cartel distributors, millions of fentanyl pills, perverts, mentally ill people, rapists and murderers from all over the world. Biden has transported them to cities across America to make our country the drug/criminal/terrorist destination-nation du jour.

Laken Riley, a 22 year old University of Georgia student, suffered a beating death by one of Joe Biden’s illegal alien criminals named Jose Ibarra from Venezuela. Police caught and arrested him for a major crime in “Sanctuary City” New York City a year ago, but let him go where he committed another crime, let him go, and then, off to Georgia where he killed Laken Riley.

Who killed Laken Riley? Answer: Joe Biden, New York Governor Kathy Hochul and NYC Mayor Eric Adams. All of them complicit in inviting and allowing criminal illegal aliens to travel with immunity throughout America. Not only that, those officials pay for all those criminals’ transport, housing, food and more. Excuse me: YOUR tax dollars pay!

We’re not talking about a “first time” event with the killing of Ms. Riley. Illegal aliens are now killing and raping women as they see our laws are not being enforced. Another killing occurred in Iowa.

Murder of Mollie Tibbets: “University of Iowa student Mollie Cecilia Tibbetts disappeared while jogging near her home in Brooklyn, Iowa. A month later, police identified 24-year-old Cristhian Bahena Rivera as a suspect in connection with the disappearance; surveillance footage showed Rivera’s car following Tibbetts on her jog. Rivera led police to the body of Tibbetts in a Poweshiek County cornfield on August 21. He was charged with first-degree murder. He is an illegal alien.”

Both those women lost their lives because of incompetent, corrupt and unethical mayors, governors, et al. Do they care? Answer: not a twit. Will they ever face charges for those American deaths they made happen?

It’s all on Joe Biden.

What about the incredibly incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan? What about Joe Biden’s incompetence killing 13 of our military personnel? Who was responsible for the sheer stupidity and incompetence of that event? Answer: Joe Biden and General Milley. Were either of them charged or held responsible? Answer: nope!

What happens, and it WILL HAPPEN, when the Islamic terrorists create another 9/11 in America? It could be dozens of minor 9/11’s where terrorist cut Americans’ heads off like they did in the streets of London. Or, it could be major act of taking out a power substation that feeds electricity into a big city. Without power, a big city would be thrown into chaos, death and mayhem. Or, any smart terrorist could poison the water supplies of a city.

That would all be on Joe Biden. He is the source, the reason and the power behind this invasion of our country. If anyone should be impeached immediately, it’s him. Most of our U.S. Congress should be impeached with him. Our country faces a cataclysmic future because of this invasion.

America Devolving Before Our Eyes

What about 100,000 kids from 14 to 25 dying from fentanyl and other drug overdoses, annually, for the past three years of Biden’s invasion of America by drug cartels? Who’s going to pay for those deaths?

Answer: not Biden.

Ironically, 38 percent of brainless Democrats want him to add another four years onto his presidency—-when he can’t put four coherent sentences together without a teleprompter. That same 38 percent want Biden’s handlers to continue directing America over a cliff. How stupid is it to give Ukraine over $100,000,000,000.00 worth of military equipment, but let our borders be overrun? Yet, those mindless democrats want Biden in for another four years—-so he can really finish America off!

How smart is it that $163,000,000,000.00 of our tax dollars, annually, are paying for those criminal border jumpers?

So, what happens when, not if, one of your family dies at the hands of terrorists or random illegals killing your daughter or son like Kate Steinle, Riley or Tibbets? What if your family is celebrating at Christmas when some Islamic couple kills your whole group like in San Bernardino, California? How do you replace your loved ones? How do you cry enough tears? How do you recover from the insanity, stupidity and senility of Joe Biden’s actions that got your loved ones killed?

Why are there “Sanctuary Cities” and “Sanctuary States”? Why are there THAT many stupid leaders? Why are we making America the “sacrificial lamb” of the 21st century trying to save the refugees of the world? Have you not seen Europe? It’s a friggin’ nightmare over there. They’ve got immigrants/terrorists/freeloaders/Islamic zealots destroying everything built up by Europeans over the centuries.

What happens when America features “No Go Zones” like Europe? What happens when the next 9/11 hits? Where will we escape? How will you mourn your dead family members?

Preserving Freedom in the Face of Challenges

By: Amil Imani

February 26, 2024

“The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, we must think and act anew.” ~Abraham Lincoln

America, the land of liberty, has long been a beacon of hope and opportunity for people worldwide. Its founding principles – liberty, freedom, and justice – have shaped its identity. This foundation, laid by the framers, has come to be known as American Exceptionalism.

However, in the face of evolving challenges, it is imperative that we not only understand the concept but actively work to preserve and strengthen it for future generations.

When asked what kind of government the delegates had created, Benjamin Franklin famously replied, “A republic if you can keep it.” These words hold even greater significance as we confront a crucial juncture in our country’s history.

The slogan “Make America Great Again” is not merely a catchphrase; it embodies a call to action, a commitment to uphold the values that have made America exceptional. In recent years, however, these values have come under attack. The Obama/Biden administration failed to deliver its promises, leaving many Americans disillusioned and disheartened. To the leftists, failure is not only acceptable but expected.

Since Donald Trump announced his candidacy, the Democrats have launched one failed hoax after another in an attempt to derail his presidency. Their efforts, driven by fraudulent claims and partisan agendas, have only sought to erode the genuine efforts of a president with good intentions.

But now is not the time for despair. Our highest priority must be the preservation of our nation’s freedom. We have faced challenges before and emerged more robust, and we must do so again.

The threats we face today are manifold: encroaching Islamism, socialism, Marxism. These ideologies seek to undermine the very foundations of our society, threatening our individual liberty and prosperity. But we cannot afford to succumb to fear or complacency.

To combat these threats, it is crucial to articulate clear policy proposals that uphold American values. This includes:

♦ It is strengthening educational programs that promote an understanding of American history, values, and the principles of democracy.
♦ We are advocating for policies that support the free market and individual freedoms, thereby countering the collectivist ideologies that seek to undermine these principles.
♦ Promoting international cooperation and alliances that support the spread of democracy and the rule of law, thereby countering the global reach of authoritarian ideologies.

Freedom, in all its forms, is our greatest legacy. Throughout history, brave men and women have fought and died to protect it. From the battlefields of Europe to the jungles of the Far East, Americans have made countless sacrifices to safeguard our way of life.

In the not-too-distant past, we confronted and defeated the forces of Nazism, Fascism, and Communism. We stood firm against tyranny and oppression, refusing to waver in adversity. And now, we must once again rise to meet the challenges of our time.

The insidious threat of leftism, socialism, Islamism, and Marxism looms large, but we cannot afford to shrink from the fight. We must meet these challenges head-on, with courage and determination.

Now is the time to stand up and be counted. We cannot give up or give in. We must be willing to do whatever it takes to preserve our nation’s freedom and ensure a bright future for generations to come.

This will require unity, resolve, and a steadfast commitment to our core principles. We must be willing to defend our freedoms against all who seek to undermine them, whether foreign or domestic.

But we cannot do it alone. We need the support of every patriotic American who believes in the principles that make this country great. Together, we can overcome any challenge and emerge stronger than ever before.

For those who are concerned about the direction of the country, there are practical actions that can be taken to support the preservation of American values:

♦ Vote in elections, and this is a must.
♦ Participate in local community activities and public discourse to influence policy and public opinion.
♦ Educate yourself and others about the principles of American exceptionalism and the importance of defending these values.

Defending America against all enemies is not just a slogan but a solemn duty that falls on everyone. We must be willing to stand up for what is right, defend our freedoms, and ensure that America remains a shining beacon of liberty for the world to see.

Now is the time to rise to the occasion, embrace the challenges before us, and reaffirm our commitment to the principles that have made America the greatest nation on earth. United, we will prevail.

These profound words from John F. Kennedy still resonate deeply: “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.”

Obama’s Third Term — Going For Four

By Rob Pue

February 25, 2024

The United States of America has become the laughingstock of the world, with Joe Biden playing the role of our “president” in this macabre stage production put on by the Luciferian Globalists. Indeed, one foreign news agency recently ran a headline referring to Biden as “President Mumblebub.”

He’s taken a lot of criticism for his actions — and inactions — as the so-called “leader” of the free world. Since he took office, we’ve seen record-breaking deficit spending, a collapse of our nation’s infrastructure, the destruction of our major cities, record homelessness and drug use, the abandonment of our national borders — not to mention the highly-orchestrated and brilliantly-executed invasion of our nation by foreign enemies. Over the past three years, we’ve also endured the “transgendering’ of our military, the weaponization of our so-called “justice system,” the persecution of political opponents, and unbridled government tyranny.

Some say Biden is incompetent, and I would have to agree. The fact that Biden is suffering from dementia is obvious, as he garbles his words when speaking, cannot remember how or when his son, Beau, died, cannot remember the names of countries or world leaders, and shakes hands with the air as he wanders around the stage after speaking, until one of his handlers gathers him up and leads him away.

Recently, Special Counsel Robert Hur declined to prosecute Biden for his mishandling of classified documents stating that Biden “is an elderly man with a poor memory, who would be sympathetic to a jury.” But Hur also added that Biden’s practices “present serious risks to national security.” You think?! So Biden, though clearly guilty, will not face prosecution. But Trump will, even though the UNclassified documents found at Trump’s Mara-Lago estate were kept securely under lock and key, while the classified documents Biden held were found in deteriorating cardboard boxes in his Delaware garage and elsewhere.

In 2016, FBI director James Comey also refused to prosecute Hillary Clinton, even though he stated she had given false statements (in other words, she lied) during his investigation, and was likely guilty of at least 23 felonies, high crimes and misdemeanors. It’s understandable that Comey refused to prosecute because he didn’t want to “commit suicide,” but this is just another example of our two-tiered “justice system.” But I digress.

Anyone who thinks Biden’s in control of anything is sadly ignorant and deluded. Biden has never had any authority of any kind in his 50+ years of being a professional politician. He’s merely a cardboard cut-out and he’s only in the White House now because he’s the most easily manipulated “candidate” the DNC could come up with.

Anyone who truly thinks he won the 2020 election honestly and fairly is under the greatest of delusions. Prior to that election, Biden himself openly stated, “We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” And he didn’t even campaign. His “rallies” consisted of a dozen people, sitting alone in chairs placed in circles, six feet apart. Meanwhile, his opponent had tens of thousands of people, all eager to see and hear Trump speak, wherever he went. No — regardless of what the “fact checkers” will tell you, and regardless of our lawless “justice system,” the 2020 election was absolutely and clearly rigged. A stolen election.

And do you remember the recounts? Republican election observers were banned from those — sheets of cardboard covering the windows while the so-called “recounts” took place. It was all a tragic joke, yet allowed to happen…and now we have countless patriots in prison or dead because they simply took part in a “redress of grievances” on January 6…held for months and years without charges; forced into fake plea deals; driven to suicide by the unrelenting persecution of the Feds — just for being patriots who believe in the rule of law.

This is the nation we live in today. One must go back to the 2008 presidential election to understand how we got here. I clearly remember watching the news broadcasts that November night, seeing millions gathered to hear the newly-elected Obama speak. Newscasters even called him the “New Messiah,” such was the blind adoration so many had for this man — a junior senator from Illinois. I got chills as I watched so many “worshiping” this man, and I knew something truly demonic was happening. He vowed to “fundamentally transform America” — and America hasn’t been the same since.

And there were so many unanswered questions. Was he even an American? Many investigated his birth certificate and found it to be fraudulent, though “fact-checkers” and the news media worked hard to debunk such claims as “conspiracy theories.” He apparently graduated from Columbia University in 1983, but no one remembers seeing him there or recalls attending any classes with him. At one point, a postal worker recalls an encounter he had with a young, arrogant (and creepy) Obama declaring he KNEW he was going to be “president of the United States” one day.

This was while Obama was living with Mary and Thomas Ayers, in a Chicago suburb. Their son was Bill Ayers, the far-left militant organizer of the Weather Underground, a revolutionary group that sought to overthrow what they viewed as “American imperialism.” Many came forward to say they remembered the young Obama frequenting homosexual bath houses in Chicago, having homosexual relations with countless partners, using pot and cocaine and never attending any college classes. But then, he could do as he pleased. It was taken care of. He already knew he was being groomed to be “president” one day, and the Globalists — even back then — would see to it that it happened.

I could go into more detail; there’s much more that could be said. But basically, Obama’s handlers faked his name, his religion, his “wife,” his kids, his birthplace, his nationality, his education and his career… and then he sealed his records in his very first executive order to stop Americans from finding out.

During the Obama years, we saw daily violent and deadly attacks by Muslims around the world and here in the US. Early on, we saw him bow down to the king of Saudi Arabia, and he continued to kowtow to the Muslims throughout his time in the White House. The complicit news media steadily drilled the phrase “a religion of peace,” into our collective heads on a daily basis, even as Islamic terrorists beheaded Christians, put them in cages and drowned them, put them in cages and burned them alive — every day, on live TV, in “living color.”

We also saw the Supreme Court decision to “legalize” homosexual so-called “marriage,” the destruction of private health insurance under “Obamacare,” the beginning of the “transgender” movement, and the furtherance of the Globalist “climate change” agenda. I could go on, but the list is too extensive.

And it’s ongoing. And that’s the point of this message. This is Obama’s third term. While we don’t know all the players that put Obama in power and who controls HIM, we do know that Obama is controlling Biden, as he has since at least 2008. Do you doubt me? Let’s look at who’s in the Biden administration…

Jake Sullivan is Biden’s National Security Advisor. He was also Obama’s Deputy Assistant and director of Policy. Antony Blinken is Secretary of State. He was also Obama’s Deputy National Security Advisor and Deputy Secretary of State. Alejandro Mayorkas, Biden’s Secretary of Homeland Security, was also Obama’s Director of US Citizenship and Immigration Services. He also managed staffing the DOJ Criminal Division.

Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, was Obama’s Deputy Director of the CIA and later his Deputy National Security Advisor. Biden’s Secretary of the Treasury, Janet Yellen, was Obama’s Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Our Deputy Secretary of the Treasury is Adewale Adeyemo — a Nigerian, and Obama’s Deputy National Security Advisor for International Economics and later, head of the Obama Foundation.

Merrick Garland, the Attorney General, was an Obama nominee for Justice of the Supreme Court. Tom Vilsack has been the Secretary of Agriculture under Biden and Obama. Then we have Susan Rice, our current Director for Domestic Policy — Obama’s National Security Advisor and UN Ambassador. Biden’s Special Envoy for Climate is John Kerry, Obama’s Secretary of State.

And bear in mind, folks, that Obama himself lives only two miles away from the White House. If you want to know who’s pulling Biden’s strings, I hope this helps. But Biden’s time is quickly coming to a close. You see, the disastrous effects of the demonic Obama regime — the “fundamental transformation of America” — are wearing thin for most Americans. Now the Communists are looking for ways to eliminate Biden, because it’s highly unlikely that the country will quietly accept another stolen election by a senile, incontinent old man with dementia that’s growing worse daily. He’s become a liability.

The recent declaration by Robert Hur that Biden is “an elderly man with a poor memory and would be sympathetic to a jury” and also that he “presents serious risks to national security” was a very intentional statement. Essentially, it officially disqualifies Sleepy Joe as a candidate. All part of the plan…and all carefully scripted.

This is going to be a year like no other. Very few expect Biden to be the nominee. As hard as it may be to believe, Kamala Harris is even less popular than Joe Biden. Some have speculated Gavin Newsom may be chosen. But given his record as an ultra-liberal dictator in California, I’m afraid the cat’s out of the bag on him. So, let’s see…who could they come up with that could possibly be convincing as a “winning” candidate. Hmmm…. Michelle Obama! Of course! Big Mike!

Then the “fundamental transformation” can continue unabated. Yes, Michelle Obama. Not only black, but also a woman, they say. (Not that gender is supposed to really exist anymore). I’m only speculating, of course. But watch for something to happen by springtime or summer. One thing’s for certain: they won’t be able to pull off another stolen election for Biden, not even with “the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” Not even with the steady flow of millions of new voters coming illegally across our borders and becoming — not citizens — but registered Democrats, because of all the “free” stuff.

Now, I’ve said a lot here about Biden, Obama and even Hillary. But, with the exception of two or three individuals, the Republicans are no better. Our public servants all become multi-millionaires shortly after taking office. How is this possible? Ask yourself: why is no one in Congress calling for a cease-fire or peace talks in Ukraine? Why do we keep sending trillions of dollars there, even as we’re spending trillions just to cover the interest on our own national debt? Why are our public servants so concerned about the security of the borders of other nations, while ours are left completely open? It’s all about money, folks. The invasion, Ukraine, climate change, mandated jabs — all these things are lining the pockets of those who rule over us. Once you understand that, everything else makes perfect sense.

I no longer refer to “Democrats” and “Republicans.” Now, it’s “Communists” and “Politicians.” And 99% of them deserve the punishment given to those convicted of treason.

Before I close, a few words about Trump. He’s not our savior. Understand that. He didn’t and won’t solve America’s real problems. Remember, it was Trump that put the “Red Flag” gun laws into effect; it was Trump that “stood down” while our nation’s cities burned at the hands of BLM and ANTIFA. He did NOT drain the swamp. He was very pro-homosexual. And he presided over the “Warp Speed” clot shot, mask mandates, shutdowns and lockdowns. I love the idea of national sovereignty, “America first,” and a return to morality and justice. I’m sure you do too. Trump is a figurehead representing those things, thus his popularity. But we must realize that no man — not even Trump — can save us from the disaster we’ve allowed in our land. Our Savior is Jesus Christ, and our only hope is a return to God, in humility and repentance. Without real, true national repentance, God’s hand of judgment on America will not relent. This I know for sure.

Rise of the Controligarchs: Implications for the Nearness of Christ’s Return

By Pastor Mike Spaulding, Dr.

February 25, 2024

But take heed; behold, I have told you everything in advance. —Mark 13:23

A new word has recently entered our vocabulary. That new word is Controligarch. Let’s define what that means. Many people are familiar with the word Oligarch. That word emerged in mainstream conversation from the ashes of the former Soviet Union. Russian Oligarchs were thought of as successful entrepreneurs that were able to navigate the difficult times the implosion of the Soviet Union resulted in. An oligarch is someone who has extreme wealth, usually billions of dollars. With this wealth comes influence. In addition to massive wealth and influence, comes power to change the minds of people who fashion regulations, codes, statutes, and laws. Many times, this influence and power is implemented clandestinely through lobbyists. Most Oligarchs do not like press coverage or fame. They are content to remain somewhat obscure to the public.

With that definition in mind, let’s discuss what Controligarch means. Individuals who fall under this definition are not dissimilar to Oligarchs with one exception. Controligarchs do not mind being in the public eye. They do not attempt to hide from public view and in fact, consider themselves as a type of champion of humanity and the earth’s environment we share. Many of the names are now familiar to most Americans – Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, George Soros, and Klaus Schwab to name just a few. Why would these men be considered Controligarchs? They are defined as such because they are using their extreme wealth to change our world. Gates for example, is buying up thousands of acres of farmland. Why would Gates do that? Is there any relationship between his drive to become the largest farmland owner in America, and his nearly $12 billion investment into “alternative” food sources including lab grown meat? Would a significant decrease in crops such as corn, a staple food source for cattle and hogs, result in a parallel drop in available beef and pork? Would this be enough to motivate people to try Gates’ artificial “meat”?

It is an established fact that George Soros donated at least $40 million dollars to assist in the recent elections of multiple prosecutors across America who agreed to not pursue prosecution of certain offenses including hit-and-run, eluding police, reckless driving, trespassing, public drunkenness, and failure to appear. In Loudon County Virginia, Soros enabled Prosecutor Buta Biberaj dismissed 491 cases brought to her office, bringing only 8% to trial.[1] What is Soros’s stated goal in doing this? Is it to signal to a select demographic that they may create havoc with impunity? Consider these well-known examples:

So egregious are the actions of the Soros-backed progressives that for the first time in history, these prosecutors have become household names — whether it be St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, who made headlines for persecuting the McCloskey’s for defending their home against rioters, Chicago’s Kim Foxx, known for her role in attempting a cover-up after actor Jussie Smollett’s hate crime against Jussie Smollett, and the now-recalled Chesa Boudin of San Francisco, the son of 1960s radicals who was raised by terrorist Bill Ayers and effectively legalized shoplifting in the city.[2]

Why should Christians care about these things? Aren’t we pilgrims just passing through? Where do I begin to enumerate the reasons? In the least we can agree that America is a nation founded on the rule of law. Our law was founded upon belief in the God of the Scriptures. Our political theory of governance was not fashioned from secularism, progressivism, or humanism, but from the pages of the Bible.[3] God established governments as we read in Romans 13, for the benefit of the godly and to punish wickedness.

³For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; ⁴for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.

This being the case, why are not more Christians speaking up to remind our elected officials of these truths? Some will respond that we are not meant to be involved in politics as a principle and furthermore, the IRS forbids it under several 501 codes. Both of those reasons are fraught with misunderstanding and have been used to silence the church for far too long. If Romans 13 means anything at all, it means we must encourage and applaud our representatives in government when they are faithfully fulfilling their responsibilities according to God’s mandate, or, rebuke and correct them when they aren’t.

But I want to make what I believe to be a greater point within the context of the silence of the church. If we really believe that the return of Jesus is near, shouldn’t we be speaking up and against the wickedness we see in our land? I’m not talking about railing against the lost unbelievers in our communities. We are commissioned to go to the lost, the defenseless, the ones who absent our intervention in a meaningful way, will become more victim to this current system than they already are. I am speaking about the great need of our day to boldly speak the truth that Jesus is coming again soon and when He does, He is coming as a judge.

Christians of all people should not be dismayed or fearful in speaking about these things that have become commonplace in this present age. It’s one thing to understand the times in which we live, it is entirely another to take responsibility for changing the circumstances where God has given us opportunity and favor.

We must also resist the devil’s temptation to think that Jesus has not, is not, and will never be the solution to the dark times man faces. The Controligarchs believe that wealth and power win every day over faith. Christians know the allurements of this world will fade away one day soon. Until that day arrives, we are to occupy this land for our King.

I direct your attention to Matthew 24 where nearly all Bible scholars agree that Jesus provided insight into the climate of the days immediately preceding His return. We read in verses 36-39 Jesus saying:

³⁶ “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone. ³⁷ For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. ³⁸For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, ³⁹ and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.

The key verse in this passage is verse 37. Within that verse the key phrase is in my opinion “just like the days of Noah.” What does that mean? It cannot mean that Noah’s times were sinful. Every age since Noah has seen increasing evil. Many Biblical scholars and historians point to Genesis 6 to say that during Noah’s day there were giants in the land. Genesis 6:4 names those giants as Nephilim. Now don’t panic and stop reading. It doesn’t matter what you believe about this subject. What matters for our purposes here is to see a connection by type. The Genesis 6 account is telling us that human DNA was corrupted and polluted in some way which resulted in Genesis 6:5, “The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that very intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”

Do you see the connection? What are the Controligarchs attempting today in this same regard? If you said, “AI enhanced transhumanism” you are correct. What will that entail? Today’s most wealthy people are fixated on transforming mankind into an image they imagine. The recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, hosted the world’s wealthiest individuals, and top government officials from across the world. One plenary session was held to discuss the subject of AI. Artificial Intelligence is embedded in everything the Controligarchs have stated is essential for the survival of the world. If the participants in the Davos meeting were constricted by a “truth” requirement, they would have said that AI is essential for their vision of a new world without many of the useless eaters presently consuming scarce resources. The top of their list of useless eaters are born-again, blood-bought, spirit-filled Christians. World Economic Forum philosopher Noah Yuval Harari has stated repeatedly that a new religion is rising upon the earth. It is a religion of technology. Harari believes that this new techno religion will replace Christianity primarily. He believes that technology will save humanity. This new religion is a modern manifestation of the old Gnostic heresy of salvation through secret, esoteric knowledge.[4]

Several major points emerged from the conversation about AI at the recent Davos meeting. I’ll share a couple of them. First, the Davos crowd believes that too much of the world is still analogue and disconnected from the “information superhighway.” The solution according to the Controligarchs, is to get everyone on the planet electronically connected as quickly as possible. Second, they believe that AI will enable them to perfect quantum computing which will in turn unlock innumerable things that remain unknown. This is the entire purpose for CERN by the way. Scientists there state that they are attempting to receive information inaccessible to them presently. Third, AI is believed to be the key to assisting today’s world leaders in prioritizing humanity. Again, if they would speak truthfully, they would say that AI is going to determine for world leaders where to invest resources and where to withhold resources. This has chilling implications when you consider what we already have witnessed in the Twenty-first century concerning the devaluing of human life.

The most concerning thing that we must know about our modern Controligarchs is that they are determined to rewrite human DNA. Shadows of this intent emerged in the recent Covid-19 discoveries by independent researchers. Genome editing and CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) technology are the new frontiers and Controligarchs are heavily invested in research in these fields. Bill Gates trumpets gene editing technology as a solution to every health crisis the world faces.[5] Elon Musk famously tweeted in 2020 that “Genetic engineering is too slow unless you use a synthetic virus.”[6] Talk about a “letting the cat out of the bag” statement. Musk has also invested billions in his new company Neuralink, to research and create a viable link from human brains to computers through implants.[7]

Here is why all of this information about the current state of technology, especially as it relates to gene editing, genome research, CRISPR, and Artificial Intelligence, is important. We find ourselves living in another day like Noah just before the flood. Technology has enabled us to expand our understanding of the human body. Indeed, the technologies mentioned above provide opportunities for scientists to create, change, and add to human DNA. We can already see that this technology can be used for evil purposes. I will also say that this technology is being used to create designer viruses.[8] Is this technology being used for the common good of all mankind? Yes, in many cases it is. However, we must ask the question, “Is modern technology being used to create dangerous things detrimental to mankind’s survival?” The clear answer is yes, it is. The dangerous use of current technology far exceeds any proposed benefit, given the stated goals of the people involved.

In my youth the government of the US was focused on the nuclear threat to America from the Russians. At the height of the Cold War in the 1960’s I recall participating in school drills meant to prepare us to act in the event of a nuclear attack. Something far worse has gripped the world today. Jesus warned us that His second coming would be during a time just like the days of Noah. The days of Noah were evil because human DNA had been corrupted. We are at that place again. We will begin to hear of amazing creations coming from the world’s scientists. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has been working on what they term “super-soldiers” for decades. An article in The Atlantic describes how far technology has come and what we can expect to be revealed very soon.

For decades after its inception in 1958, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency—DARPA, the central research and development organization of the Department of Defense—focused on developing vast weapons systems. Starting in 1990…a new focus was put on soldiers, airmen, and sailors—on transforming humans for war. The progress of those efforts, to the extent it can be assessed through public information, hints at war’s future, and raises questions about whether military technology can be stopped, or should.

Gorman sketched out an early version of the thinking in a paper he wrote for DARPA after his retirement from the Army in 1985, in which he described an “integrated-powered exoskeleton” that could transform the weakling of the battlefield into a veritable super-soldier. The “SuperTroop” exoskeleton he proposed offered protection against chemical, biological, electromagnetic, and ballistic threats, including direct fire from a .50-caliber bullet. It “incorporated audio, visual, and haptic [touch] sensors,” Gorman explained, including thermal imaging for the eyes, sound suppression for the ears, and fiber optics from the head to the fingertips. Its interior would be climate-controlled, and each soldier would have his own physiological specifications embedded on a chip within his dog tags. “When a soldier donned his ST [SuperTroop] battledress,” Gorman wrote, “he would insert one dog-tag into a slot under the chest armor, thereby loading his personal program into the battle suit’s computer,” giving the 21st-century soldier an extraordinary ability to hear, see, move, shoot, and communicate.[9]

Astute readers will be reminded of the Tony Stark character in the Marvel Iron Man movie franchise. I noticed this same tacit acknowledgement in the recent Tom Cruise Top Gun Maverick movie when actor Ed Harris playing Rear Admiral Chester Cain, arrived at the test site of an experimental next generation stealth fighter to shut the program down. His reasoning was that manned aircraft was a thing of the past. Admiral Cain believed future jet fighters would be flown by AI “pilots” who never tire, who don’t need to eat, or drink, and who obey orders. Sounds exactly like what the Controligarchs are attempting to implement.

Our world is on a collision course with biblical prophecy. While Controligarchs deceive people into believing that the future is theirs to create and rule, Jesus waits in the wings. While scientists tamper with DNA, the Bible reminds us that God has created the human body, and it is fearfully and wonderfully made. Will God allow some of His creation, who are in open rebellion, to destroy His imagers and create their own race of super soldiers to do the bidding of the Controligarchs? The Bible gives a resounding “NO” to this strong delusion.

The birth pangs of biblical prophecy are already upon the earth.[10] Those who have ears to hear and eyes to see are not fooled. To those Christians who have been gifted with God’s perspective, His divine insight, and have learned to follow the direction of the Holy Spirit, the battlefield is clear. We are armored up and prepared to press the war wherever King Jesus leads us. Will Jesus tarry much longer?

God Has a Part and We Have a Part

By Reverend Glynn Adams

February 25, 2024

“But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons.” (1 Timothy 4:1)

“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” (Matthew 6:24) “

“Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those enter by it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life and few are those who find it.” (Matthew 7:13)

Since the early 1900s to today, America has been falling away from the faith of Jesus Christ. Today you are going to learn in plain English just how destructive, foolish, and dangerous that is to you, your family, and our nation. In America, we have no idea how serious and deadly it is to form denominations and religious systems that divide the Body of Christ. We will see how unfruitful and deadly it is to play church and religious games with the people of a nation.

Following Jesus Christ is not only a covenant and personal relationship with Him but following Jesus is also a partnership. God has a family in heaven called the Divine Council. When God formed mankind, He had in mind to have a family on this earth. This born-again family is to share the gospel, make disciples, and teach them to observe whatsoever He commanded.

When we get instruction from God, whether from the Word, the Holy Spirit, or an angel, we are bound by covenant law and our partnership to do our part in obedience and faithfulness. God Law is to love God first, with all our heart, body, and soul and to love your neighbor as you love yourself. The Apostle John is clear in his writings, “If you love Jesus, you will obey Him.”

The way this partnership works is God has a part that only God can do and He has given us a part for His Body that only we can do on this earth. He has given us dominion, His Name, His authority, His power in the Holy Spirit, His Word, and His mighty weapons in Ephesians 6. Jesus is the Head and His faithful followers are the Body of Jesus operating on this earth. We are the hands and feet of Jesus on this earth and we are the direct representative of Jesus Christ on this earth. We have a Kingdom mandate to do the will of God on earth as it is done to heaven. We are to bring heaven and the ways of heaven down to earth. NOW GET THIS: Jesus will never do our part. He always works through His Body on earth.

For some time now, the Body of Christ in America, in general, has developed a theology that most of our Christian responsibility is going to a church building on Sunday to worship. It’s entertainment and less focus on Christ and walking in His image. Today our churches focus on happy church to attract more people rather than focusing on doing our part in obedience to Jesus Christ. The church goers just don’t see a need to confront evil in our nation, no spiritual responsibility for what is happening in our culture, for what our children are taught in our public schools and in culture, and no spiritual responsibility to our government other than vote.

Nor have we furnished a moral compass for our nation. We have remained silent while Satan and his powers of darkness (under the lie of Klaus Schwab and the New World Order demonic elites) have systemically moved into our nation to destroy the followers of Jesus Christ in our nation; our God dethroned, our Bible, prayer, and the Law of God removed, our family system destroyed, Judeo-Christian morality attacked and removed, our Constitution and inalienable rights attacked and removed, marriage assaulted and redefined, our culture assaulted and flooded with immorality, and filth, our nation invaded by aliens, and divided by multiculturalism, race, gender, rights, homosexuality, and ideology. Christians have remained silent while we have drifted into religion and most of our nation has forgotten or does not know God.

When one looks at our nation today, based on the Word of God, if Christians had done their part, then God would have done His part, and we would not be in this spiritual mess today. The Body of Christ in America in recent years has developed another theology that somehow at some time or the other, God will come down to earth and fix our spiritual mess in America or He will rapture us out of here when it gets so bad. Jesus is coming back but not to fix our spiritual mess. The point of my message is Jesus is here on this earth, in each of His followers. He gave us dominion and all we need to fix America. If we will do our part, God will do His supernatural part.

That partnership is exhibited throughout the Bible. God told Moses, why are you crying out to Me? Tell the people to go forward, you Moses lift up your staff, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it and the sons of Israel shall go through the midst of the sea on dry land. Moses and the people obeyed God and did their part and God did His part.

Joshua was told by God for the people to march around Jericho seven times, shout, and the walls would come down. They obeyed and did their part and God did His part and the wall fell. If someone is sick, call the elders, anoint with oil, lay hands on the sick, and pray for healing. That is our part in healing, the supernatural part whether that person gets healed is God’s part; not ours. The same goes for casting out demons; we speak and command the demons to leave and God does the rest!!!

Listen Body of Christ in America: If Moses, Joshua and the people of God would have ignored what God said, do you think that sea would have parted and those walls would have come down? God honors obedience and but disobedience has dangerous and extremely grave consequences. Look at the defeat of Israel at AI, when they disobeyed God. A sure victory turned into defeat and death because of disobedience.

God has been warning the Body of Christ in America for years now, in the Word of God and by His watchman, to resist the evil in this nation and we have blatantly refused and disobeyed our LORD. If His Body in America would have done our part and would go to our battlefield and resist the evil in this nation, then God would do His part and supernaturally deliver us from evil just like He delivered Moses and Joshua.

Pastors and the followers of Christ in America have failed to do their part because we have believed the lie of separation of church and state and we are not to get involved in politics. Because our pastors and the followers of Christ are disobedient and refuse to do their part, we have caused a spiritual vacuum in this nation and Satan and his New World Order demonic occult friends have all moved to America and have filled this vacuum. They have captured our nation, Satan rules America and not God, and we have become a habitation of demons and demonic strongholds.

For years, there has been a spiritual war raging in this nation but the pastors and followers of Christ have refused to get involved in this spiritual war. Because we have ignored Satan and his demonic hordes, we are close to losing our freedoms and our nation!!! Does anyone in this nation realize just how close to destruction we are? Who do we think we are in America, refusing to obey our Sovereign God? Can’t we see the benefits of doing our part so God can do His? Can’t we see America is one election away from destruction?

Can’t we get it in our mindset that God is not coming down to America to deliver us unless we do our part? He will not do for us that which He has commanded us to do. His Body will have to show up at the battlefield to deliver our nation from evil or it will not get delivered. Can’t we see America is rebellious and lawless because the Body of Christ in America is rebellious and lawless?

So now our part and only option is to repent, humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, ask for His forgiveness, covenant with Him to obey Him, and resist the evil overtaking our nation, then and only then will God will do His part and deliver us from evil. What we don’t understand about our deception and disobedience is Satan has now moved most of his demonic world into America to finish us off.

Those who have eyes to see and ears to hear can see the evidence that the Chaldean, Baal, and many, many other demonic spirits, along with their demonic strongholds, high places, and principalities, are now openly operating in this nation. Many in America do not realize the seriousness of that statement. Lies and deception are now in abundance and common practice in our nation. Body of Christ in America, be careful and see to it that you are not deceived or tricked into following some demonic spirit.

Now I am going to explain to you exactly why we have all these demonic spirits and strongholds in our nation and who is clearly to blame. Those who do not repent and change their wicked ways will suffer the most extreme judgment. Jesus explains it in a parable and most of us miss the true meaning of this parable!!! But once it is explained to you, if you have eyes to see, you will know exactly what we must do to drive out the enemies that have gathered to bring down our nation. We owe a great deal of thanks to Jonathan Cahn, a Messianic Jew who lives here in America and his newest book, “The Return of the gods” gives us much insight to what has happened in America and why!!!

Let me give some biblical background before I show you this parable of Jesus. For those who claim to be followers of Jesus Christ who are ignorant and demonically deceived because you believe there is no need to read and study the Old Testament because you deem it not relevant for today since we have the New Testament.

Have you ever wondered why so much warfare was presented in the Old Testament? God was teaching His followers to show them just how deceitful Satan is and the need to rid the nations of the demonic powers. You cannot have a functioning culture and peace when the wicked are always trying to destroy you and your way of life.

This is the parable Jesus gave to His disciples as recorded in the New Testament which is a revelation of profound, massive, and prophetic ramifications for the modern world and our own day. “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through waterless places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says ‘I will return to my house from which I came’; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. This is the way it will also be with this evil generation.” (Matthew 12:43-45)

What does this parable mean and what does it mean for our modern times. At first glance it would seem that the parable is talking about a possessed and delivered man who then becomes repossessed. It certainly could be applied to a possessed individual. But the parable is actually not about the man at all. It is only an illustration, an example, an analogy used to reveal a spiritual principle and give a prophetic warning. The parable is not about individual possession but collective or mass possession, the possession of a generation, a culture or a civilization.

Here is the application to our western civilization. Should a culture, a society, a nation, or a civilization be cleansed – that is delivered or exorcised of the gods and spirits and it is delivered from the gods and spirits, then how could the spirits and gods return to that Western civilization? Only one way – if that civilization should ever turn away from God, His Word, from the gospel and from Jesus. If it should do so, then that which drove out the spirits will no longer be present to protect it against its return. And the civilization that had been delivered of the spirits will become repossessed by them. The gods will return and the state of that civilization will end up far worse and darker than at the beginning.

Now the application to America. The gods could only return to a nation or civilization if there had been a falling away from the living God. In America, there have been milestones, turning points and moments of critical mass. In the mid to late twentieth century, America’s departure from God became discernable and continued through the end of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first, unabated, deepening, widening increasing in magnitude and momentum. Our falling away would go hand in hand with the capture of our nation, Satan would rule America and not God, and the return of the ancient gods and spirits.

Now you can see why our Founding Fathers warned us that if we ever lost our morality and virtue, we could not maintain our self-government and our liberty and freedoms. Now you see why it is so hard to regain freedom and liberty once lost. America is there. We have only a short window of opportunity to return to God and His protections.

If we will do our part to rid our nation of these demonic entities, God will do His supernatural part. God is a God of restoration and for us to get involved in the restoration of our nation is a war worth fighting. So much is at stake here and make no mistake about this battle as it will be dangerous. As God told Joshua, “Only be strong and courageous” – for this is the sure will of God and He will give us the victory. God bless, I remain His warrior and watchman, Glynn Adams

Symbolism Will Be Their Downfall

by Ms. Smallback

February 24, 2024

What kind of gods are they?

In my zeal to present the gods gone astray that Psalm 82 calls the Divine Council or the congregation of the mighty, I mis-characterized them by saying they co-reigned with God, Supreme God. Let me correct my mistake and clarify: these gods of Psalm 82, these sons of God of Genesis 6 and Job, are created beings, unlike the Supreme God, who is uncreated, who has always been.

Whether these other beings should be called gods or something else is debatable. The scripture calls them gods — Elhohyim — so it’s not errant, but our connotations inferred may be. They are spiritual beings of a higher order, possibly (probably) the highest order under God Himself. I think the four archangels listed in Enoch are probably a step above them…. Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, and Uriel….

They did not/do not co-reign with God in that they share God’s power. They are created beings given much power to serve God, like the seraphim, cherubim, angels, and whatever other heavenly created beings God has created. Just like satan, they were created for a function and they abused their powers and subverted their original purpose for selfish ambitions. Their task, it appears, was some sort of service to God in the affairs of the created world on earth.

I am genuinely sorry if I confused or misrepresented anything by poor word choice or description. I never intend or want to misrepresent anything of God (or anything at all).

Some may prefer to call them angels, and that may be a better descriptor for connotation. But the actual words Scripture uses is “sons of God” and “gods” (Hebrew eloyhim), which is why I use that term, but I know it causes a bit of confusion when we’ve been taught there are no other gods but God. That is in fact true when you’re talking about the uncreated Being who is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. There is only One. But the Bible and other works do call these lesser (yet quite powerful) other beings gods as well.

Both Daniel and Enoch call these beings “Watchers”, which is ’iyr in the Aramaic that literally means watcher, but the translators have implied as angels or guardians. It comes from the root word ‘uwr meaning “through the idea of opening the eyes”, from the root “to be bare”. Best hypothesis is these are created beings with the task of watching creation. They’re listed three times in Daniel in chapter four and each time they are coupled with the “holy ones” (which is also an Aramaic word) which loosely translates one made sacred. Each time in Daniel they’re used is to issue a decree.

According to Enoch (and corroborated in Genesis 6), it would seem that there were two hundred of these beings who left their abode in heaven, perhaps they were just doing their task they were created for (watching, reporting?), but at the leadership of Semjaza rebelled against their heavenly assignments and copulated with human women. Enoch 6:6 tells us, “And they were in all two hundred who descended in the days of Jared on the summit of Mount Hermon, and they called it Mount Hermon because they had sworn and bound themselves by mutual imprecations upon it.” Interestingly, “Hermon” comes from an ancient Hebrew word “charam” which means “to seclude, specifically by a ban, to devote to religious uses especially destruction”. Like Heiser said, Mount Hermon is ground zero for the rebellious gods/watchers/angels.

I realize I’ve ruffled some feathers addressing and expounding on other “gods”, but I’m going to repeat something I explained in an earlier article. In the Ten Commandments, the first one is “you shall have no other gods before me.” There’s no reason for God to command this if it’s not an issue. The very next commandment is not to make idols. If idols (graven images) were the sole concern, is the first commandment necessary? And why wouldn’t God have said, “you shall have no idols before me”? He didn’t. He said gods.

There were lesser gods being worshiped and God was setting aside a nation as an example to the world of a people who worshiped only the supreme God. He goes on into verse five to say He is a “jealous” God. It literally means jealous and roots back to the primitive root qana’ meaning “to be zealous, (that is in a bad sense) jealous or envious”.

I don’t have time to keep breaking this down for people who think it’s heresy. It’s solid exegesis. A serious Biblical word study of the times eloyhim is used and its context, a serious word study of the “sons of God” and its context, should help people (who aren’t insistent that the western church’s teaching is without error) understand better. I’m really just laying this out for those with ears to hear and a heart to seek God for understanding. I realize it will sound like heresy to those entrenched in western church christianity.

If it is or if it isn’t gods, there’s still this other thing….

There is a group of people that think they are gods and they serve them. So our belief, understanding, traditions don’t matter in the context of what this other people group is doing. THEY worship other “gods”, whether you think they exist or not. They have ordered their lives around serving these other “gods”. (Just like Abraham’s dad and uncle did, just like the Israelites did when they forsook God for the gods of other nations.)

Jonathan Cahn (in his book Return of the Gods) laid it out like this… Before Christ the majority of the world was serving and worshiping other gods. They made temples to them, they made sacrifices to them, they held festivals and parades to them, their calendars were set by them. You couldn’t walk through the major cities of the world without running into homage of some sort to the gods of that region. You might have heard of them as Zeus, Osiris, Aphrodite, Poseidon, Athena, Baal, and the list goes on and on by different regions and different languages.

After Christ, the disciples and the ever increasing Christians evangelized the “modern” world and were severely persecuted and even killed for their message of the one true God and His son. Yet little by little, the worship of the other gods gave way to Christianity and the foreign gods’ temples now lie in ruins all over the world, most are famous tourist spots.

As Cahn says, if you sweep the temple clean of unclean spirits but don’t fill it with the Holy Spirit, the unclean spirit eventually comes back and brings seven more with it and the state of the temple is worse than it was before it was swept clean. A world that converted (in large portion) to Christianity eventually apostatized and the (allegorical) temple was emptied. So the other gods have moved back in all over the world in places we’d now call post-Christian. Read Cahn’s book. It will help you understand so much.

The old gods are now modern and trendy

What used to be underground and backroom worships and rituals to other gods has now gone mainstream. What they used to do in the dark they now do in broad daylight. Sometimes they’re bold enough to put their god’s name or one of the many images of their gods right out there. Just a brief sampling:

• Starbucks uses the Ishtar image on their cups… they say it’s a siren
• Venus razors by Gilette…. goddess of love
• Maseratti uses the Poseidon (Neptune) trident … god of the sea
• NBC uses the peacock … Hera goddess of women, symbol of pride
• CBS uses the all-seeing eye … Horus or Ra
• Nike is named after the Greek goddess of victory
• the iconic Statue of Liberty is actually a replica of the Babylonian goddess of fertility, Ishtar
• Paramount’s logo is a towering mountain with 22 stars encircling its top which is strangely parallel to Mount Hermon, (the mount the ancient gods left their abode in Heaven to fornicate on earth). The 22 stars are strangely parallel to the 22 named gods or beings that led the 200 in the rebellion of their original corruption of earth.
• And of course Apple, with a bite out of it, lauds the forbidden fruit as the key to knowledge. [Their first computer debuted for sale at $666.66.]

I’m not arguing that each of these (and the multitude that I didn’t list) are idol worshipers. Obviously some companies use mythology figures for market purposes. But it is telling that the market is saturated with emulations of foreign gods and idols. In fact, there’s not an industry in the public sphere that isn’t represented in some way, shape or form by foreign gods and idols.

The entertainment industry is ripe with god worship. In fact, watching a music video these days is like having a front seat to an occult ritual. Pretty much anything by Beyonce, Lady Gaga, JayZ, Marilyn Manson, Katy Perry, Madonna, Taylor Swift, and the list goes on and on….is witnessing some form of homage to their god(s) and/or some ritual.

Speaking of the entertainment industry, the NFL is classified as “sports entertainment”, (which releases them from liability for fixing games, among other things). For years now they have employed some of the biggest names in idol worship (idols to us, gods to them) for the half-time shows. Has anyone forgotten the half-time show where Madonna came in as Ishtar to perform her ritual under the watchful eye of Ra (Horus)? It has been a steady stream of idol rituals thanks to the prolific platform the NFL has.

NASA (the Hebrew word for “to deceive”) uses a forked tongue emblem, and names their rockets after a slew of gods, just look. (Atlas, Jupiter, Thor, Titan, Athena, Minotaur, Apollo, Nike, etc.) I wonder what NASA could be being used to deceive humanity about?

The days of the week, the months of the year – almost all are named after gods. Many holidays are rooted in ancient god worship celebrations.

Here’s an interesting one, “X” is supposedly symbolic for “Osiris risen”. Celebrities crossing their arms in an X is supposedly giving homage to the resurrection of Osiris, the Egyptian god of death and resurrection. There have been a rash of other X logos lately, notably: Elon Musk renamed Twitter “X”; Madonna has an alter ego named “Madame X”; the spacecraft manufacture in CA is called “SpaceX”; the Marvel comic superheroes are “X-Men”, etc.

Altiyan Childs, 2010 X-factor winner from Australia, had a near death experience where he attributes his life being saved by God. He did an about face after that and reevaluated his life, becoming very dedicated to God. In 2021 he released a five hour video where he went into great detail on the various forms of idolatry and cult worship in the entertainment industry. His video gives great detail to the symbols they use and their meanings. Video here.

Depending on the source, the ancient Roman God Saturn (where we get Saturday, aka Saturn’s Day) is either the god of time (Kronos or Father Time), Lord of the Rings, the originator of the cult of EL…. Or is symbolic of satan himself. Interestingly you’ll find the Saturn logo on a number of corporate logos of a circle with a ring, or the rings of Saturn, such as these….

Epstein Island has a temple modeled after the Mamluk Bathhouse in Aleppo, Syria. The name Mamluk means “slave soldiers”, and they were known for kidnapping young boys to force them to become warriors, and kidnapping young girls to force them into sex slavery. The blue and white stripes are said to be a nod to ancient Greece, where sex between adults and minors was commonplace. Interestingly, the set for Ellen Degeneres’s talk show had a similar background.

The point is….

I could go on and on about the various god/idol symbolism imagery that permeates our culture. I have files and files of images and history. But the point is, the people entrenched in service and worship of their gods (little g) pay homage to their gods in their various venues. Just like a Christian displays a fish, a cross, three crosses, various aspects of God in their lives both personal and public (think personalized license plates, bumper stickers, t-shirts, business logos, sports teams, scripture references, names of the real God, etc.), so do the adherents to foreign gods display their loyalty and adoration for their gods.

There was a time, perhaps, that brazen demonstrations of idolatry would be frowned upon in American society. But as American culture has become more and more debased, rejecting adherence to Christian morals and trading them for hedonistic displays and lifestyles, those who participate and have allegiance to the lesser gods have become emboldened to no longer hide their affections and loyalties. The scales have tipped and the idolatrous feel the weight of their power and are moving forward with their objectives.

It’s a brave new world where conservative morals are ridiculed and being outlawed while outright depravity, perversions and licentiousness are lauded and on open display. It’s a demonstration of allegiance to the gods one serves, or the God one serves.

If there was a time such loyalties hid in the shadows, that time is either over or quickly fading. The battle of the gods has commenced and loyalties will be the dividing lines in the coming days. If ever a true believer in the true God needed to evaluate their loyalties and the things they give affection to, I would think that time would be upon us. As the battle heightens, compromising affections with lesser gods will prove devastating to Christians.

Our nation and indeed our world are being led by Godless adherents to foreign gods intent on doing the bidding of their gods, which is a dark and destructive place. We are and will further be deemed the enemy because our allegiance is to the true and supreme God. God is able to protect us, but we cannot afford to be found with one foot in allegiance to God and the other in the cesspools of idolatry.

As I alluded to earlier, the end outcome is guaranteed victory for the supreme God and His children, but the battle leading up to that end will be treacherous for us all. The gods do not fight fair and human suffering is nothing to such gods. In fact, they prefer humans to suffer. Fortunately, we have a God who does care and protects those found abiding in Him and has provided the way for us through Christ.

Don’t be a Slave to Narrow Narratives on Slavery

By Sidney Secular

February 24, 2024

The book, “Time on the Cross: The Economics of American Negro Slavery” by Nobel Prize winner Robert Fogel, written in 1974, still startles court historians as it courts the radical conclusion that black slaves were commonly better off than free Northern laborers during antebellum times. Beyond being beyond the grasp of African witch doctors, headhunters or slavers (most of whom were themselves black!), American Negro slaves had a surprising amount of freedom and were well taken care of by law. Black enslaved women were allowed maternity leave and received attentive medical care during their pregnancies. They had a one-year maternity leave after the birth of a child. Slaves were not permitted to work by law while they were ill.

In Virginia, an older free black could ask a white to take him or her on as a slave; this was an antebellum version of “Social Security” for elderly blacks who had no other means of subsistence. Of course, the white owner was usually a professional – a doctor, merchant, teacher, lawyer or well off widow/spinster rather than a planter, so the newly enslaved individual did not have to perform any heavy manual labor. As well, slaves were legally allowed to conduct their own business, selling their wares and crafts as well as such personal talents as smithing and carpentry in the marketplace. Their masters were not entitled to their financial gains though the master had to give permission for the slave to take time out of the duties he owed to his master. Remember, slaves did not work as did the factory, mine and mill worker.

They had duties but once those had been fulfilled, they had the leisure to do other things. Indeed, the system worked so well for many blacks that the man who owned the most slaves at the time of Fort Sumter was a black man who had sold a patent for an improvement on the cotton gin. The money he gained, he used to purchase his and his wife’s freedom and a plantation along with more slaves than were owned by any other planter in South Carolina at that time.

Slaves were also given cash bonuses for extraordinary production. There was also an established retirement age after which slaves were well taken care of by their owners. One Florida plantation had a book on their “enslaved people” that indicated the birthday of one woman who was over 100 years old! Obviously, slavery was no automatic death sentence or a consignment to a (short) life of endless suffering! Indeed, many slaves lived better lives than do their present “freed” ghetto descendants who frequently don’t make it through childhood! This is not to say that slavery was a “good” thing, but it was not the horror – at least in the New World – as it has been portrayed! And furthermore, at the beginning of the colonization of America, the vast majority of slaves were white and we’re not speaking here of indentured servants but of chattel slaves!

Under slavery, black slaves lived in close-knit slave “communities” where they often ran their own affairs though doubtless under the supervision of their owner. Families were rarely split apart, contrary to the usual narrative and where this did happen, it happened as much in the North as the South. They had garden plots to raise food for their families and, where possible, they fished and hunted to support their tables. They had guaranteed housing, food, clothing, medical care, business opportunities and support after retirement. They were also protected from the criminal activities of the surrounding community and were made more secure than many of today’s American senior citizens – white and black.

Post Scriptum: a fairly recently published book, Dying For Freedom by Jim Downs addressed the fate of former slaves both during and after the Civil War. The book pointed to the failure of the “Union” States to care for newly freed slaves especially in an impoverished post-war South, causing more death and suffering than had happened when those same people were in fact enslaved. According to the book, “As former slaves left their places of servitude behind, they entered a world of freedom, but also a war zone devastated by disease, poverty and death. More soldiers died of disease than from battle. Slaves became exposed to the same outbreaks of dysentery, smallpox and fever that decimated Union and Confederate ranks, and they died by the thousands: an estimated 60,000 former slaves died from a smallpox epidemic from 1863 to 1865. There were no protections, no refugee programs or public health services in place to help freed slaves ward off the disease that plagued the Confederate South.

As one 19th-century reformer observed, ‘You may see a child well and hearty this morning, and in the evening you will hear of its death.’” Furthermore, blacks were not permitted to “migrate” north to escape the suffering of the South under “reconstruction” until the need for manpower during WWI required their bodies to fill the places once held by those now fighting in Europe! So, the idea that the so-called “Civil War” was fought to end the suffering of black slaves is sheer nonsense.

Oregon Government is Costly

By Oregon State Senator Dennis Linthicum

February 23, 2024

Our political elites mis-use economics. They use economic projections as sales, marketing and sloganeering tools. Their central planning and control efforts form an endless barrage of claims hoping for votes, then power, money and control. Think about clean energy, immigration, Measure 110, micro-electronic circuit or housing development and employment.

Are these examples sincere problem solving efforts or merely attempts to overtake the economy and grab money, power and control?

As always, when there is one political claim there is always another. But, what is the truth of the matter? Can any of these claims about solving problems and improving the lives of Oregonians be true?

Regardless, the state’s collectivist marketeers get right to work.

The French economist Frédéric Bastiat described our problem in his 1850 essay, “That Which Is Seen, and That Which Is Not Seen.” He wrote, “The bad economist pursues a small present good, which will be followed by a great evil to come, while the true economist pursues a great good to come, — at the risk of a small present evil.”

The adjectives he uses are – bad verses true, instead of bad verses good. We have become accustomed to think in terms of moral categories like bad verses good. The lesson for us is, we should strive for truth, then our moral compass will be set straight.

I suggest, our state’s political quagmire would clear immediately, if we asked, “Is that true?”

For example, the open border policies have grown to allowing more than 300,000 migrants to cross illegally into the US monthly. Obviously, this is deliberate, but are we solving anything problems or are we just moving the problems around on a map and making them worse? The recently failed $118 billion border security bill only had $20 billion for US border security.

Does that sound like a solution, a marketing ploy, or magic?

When our political elites use falsehood to advance an idea, it’s more than bad policy, it’s bad economics. The border example, works well to illustrate this point. Has the influx of multiple millions of illegal immigrants provided any economic, practical, moral, life and livelihood benefits to the US or to the various countries of origin that lost these people? The claim is that we are saving lives but the administration is not advancing freedom, shutting-down socialist dogma or pressuring our other countries to adopt free-market economies.

How can we best help, by proving handouts or opportunities? Here or there? What’s marketing and what is truth?

And, for all of our global concerns, why isn’t anyone asking the truth questions about Cxvoid “science”?

Was social distancing was effective? Is there scientific evidence that face masks can stop a respiratory virus? Were Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) performed to confirm asymptomatic transmission claims? Did plexiglass barriers, the constant washing of grocery counters, or disinfecting shopping carts handles provide any documentable benefits?

The scientific totalitarians will have trouble with each of these questions, as well as, accessing risks associated with the mRNA injections which are skirted or ignored daily.

Why is Oregon’s political class unwilling to seek truth.

Remember, forty million Americans lost their jobs, and nearly 10 million of those are still unemployed. Income in America fell to such low levels that federal tax revenues decreased by more than 50 percent year over year by mid-year 2020.

Yet, the federal government cranked up the printing presses and distributed $350 billion to states and local governments as part of the 2022 pandemic aid bill. Those monies have to be spent by this year’s end or the feds will send their agents to take it back.

Why was this mandatory time frame part of the legislative package? It clearly wasn’t designed for the slow, deliberative, and prudent considerations that would normally accompany prudent decision-making. Rather, the mandatory time-constraint was designed to generate a momentary statistical blip for propaganda purposes.

The story always reads better if the pols can claim, “all is well in our local economies.” Complete tommyrot.

As in the earlier quote, “The bad economist pursues a small present good, which will be followed by a great evil to come…,” and no one knows the long-term impacts on our horizon.

Remember, untold numbers of small businesses remain closed. Thousands of individuals, moms, dads, and family members lost their jobs, and these job losses will get muddled with the statistical averages from foreign nationals, undocumented immigrants or illegal aliens who are also looking for employment.

On a legislative note here in Oregon, let me touch on, SB 1508. This bill recently passed the Senate Floor, and will move to the House. It is a prime example of government intervention with unintended consequences.

This bill started as my attempt to curb run-away Insulin prices. However, I voted “NO” because the bill had grown less attractive after each edit.

For background, I am alive today because of multiple daily injections of insulin. I have been injecting insulin for more than 50-years, so, I fully understand the life and death nature of insulin. Especially, in terms of medical need, cost and availability.

Yet this bill illustrates government taking the easy-way out. Essentially, this is a legislative mandate limiting charges for insulin to just $35 a vial, from insurance providers operating within the state.

Insulin prices are not driven by extravagant insurance co-pay fees. Insulin prices actually get generated at the manufacturing level, by supply and demand for source materials, research, development, technology, manufacturing and regulatory requirements. Unlike ice cream which experiences greater demand during the summer, insulin has a fairly constant demand curve.

Yet, a major price factor is law-fare – practices that protect big manufacturing dominance through endless trade secret and patent protections. Patent protection are are limited and expire for various insulin formulations but manufacturing techniques are typically protected by trade secret law without limit.

Demanding insurance providers squeeze other plan participants meet the difference directly helps patients but doesn’t solve the problem. In other words, we only moved the problem from one spot on the map to another, as manufacturers enjoy continued market protection.

No doubt people appreciate the lower cost and affordability of this life-saving medication, but what is government accomplishing? The “unseen” never gets mentioned. How many unintended consequences cascade down the line when government steps in to solve any particular problem?

system by twisting some segment of our economy. Like minimum-wage laws, paid-leave laws, laws restricting housing, land-use or drug-use there is always a problem that government created which will fester until really hurts. Meanwhile, the politicians, bureaucrats, political donors and cronies get to skate happily along and everything looks good until the next catastrophe.

We can only succeed by empowering individuals. We slow down and curb the state’s bureaucratic enterprise at every turn. We must hold politicians accountable for their false projections and the deleterious impacts of their socialist policies. Truth must be our standard.

Only through free-markets, with clear determinations of truth and fallacy, can we will rebuild the American dream. Yes, even here in Oregon.

If we don’t stand for rural Oregon values, no one will…

The TRUTH About Trump Voters

By Lex Greene

February 23, 2024

Thanks to decades of anti-American false propaganda flooding the airwaves from pretty much every form of mass media in the country, today’s leftist echo chamber has taught millions of American voters a laundry list of gaslighting lies that simply are not true, including their misguided misperception of Trump voters.

The truth is entirely contrary to their misguided and carefully manipulated view of all Trump voters, and they need a strong dose of reality before it’s too late for America.

First, six years before Trump came down the escalator to announce his bid for the Oval Office, millions of Americans had had enough of the ongoing utter destruction of all things American in 2009. They were gathering together in Tea Party and Liberty groups all across the country and rising up against anti-American policies coming from the halls of their own federal government.

When Trump came down the escalator in 2015, these highly patriotic Americans chose Trump to represent them in Washington DC, a city gripped by anti-American socialist policies designed to eventually erode all Natural Rights of the People and meld the USA into some insane global Marxist commune, now openly under the leadership of Klaus Schwab and his thousands of WEF Young Global Leaders carefully planted in positions of power around the world.

Contrary to the false assumptions by Trump-haters, his supporters are not “following Trump,” Trump decided to represent American patriots in place six years before he announced, via his candidacy in 2015.

Fundamentally, the Trump voters believe in the following principles and values, in this order…

God, morality, ethics, decency
Strong upward mobile families
Our Country, national sovereignty, and security
All Natural Rights, individual Freedom, and Liberty
Limited government authority
Real equal justice under constitutional laws
An informed ethical society capable of self-governance
Opposition to all destructive policies aimed at destroying the USA
Free market economics, fiscal health, necessary to any successful nation
Free, fair, lawful, and transparent elections worthy of the People’s faith

The Trump voter isn’t interested in government control over any citizens. They are not at all interested in what government can do for them…but are instead, deeply concerned about what government has been doing to all Americans for decades.

Trump voters know that to be free and prosperous themselves, they must protect the freedom and liberty of all others, no matter political leanings.

Unfortunately, the Marxist policies of today’s democrat party and their vast echo chamber in mass media, k-12 public education and college lecture halls, many church pulpits, censored social media and even search engine manipulations, not to mention their latest “cancel culture” machine, have held millions of young, indoctrinated voters hostage. At least two young generations are currently entirely incapable of accepting truths, no matter how obvious or undeniable. They involuntarily react to truthful information as if someone threw poison on them.

As is demonstrated on social media platforms every day, whole generations are incapable of explaining their beliefs, presenting any truth to support those beliefs, or holding an open honest discussion on any important issue.

Instead, they regurgitate talking points they learned in the 24/7 echo chamber, as if they’ve never had an original thought in their whole life. When confronted with any truth, they resort to the “cancel culture” tactics they were trained in the echo chamber, unable to challenge the truth with any real facts.

While they complain and whine about what they were told is “mistreatment of citizens” around the world, like Terror groups Hamas, Islamic jihad and Hezbollah, or the recent death of a Putin opponent in Russia…they champion the mistreatment of US citizens, over a thousand of whom sit in prison for being political opponents to Biden on January 6^th.

They attack Putin for allegedly killing his political opponents, but celebrate how the global Marxist democrats persecute, jail and yes, sometimes murder their political opponents right here in the USA.

The fact is… Trump voters are trying to save these brainwashed people from themselves. But the deep state indoctrination is now so deeply embedded in the psyche of so many young voters, that saving freedom and liberty for all may no longer be possible.

Meanwhile, when Trump voters…

Fight for free, fair, lawful, and transparent elections, they do so not for Trump, but for all American citizens.
Demand accountability from any politician or governmental body, they do so not for Trump, but for all American citizens.
They expose many fatal truths about CV19 protocols and the bioweapons vax program, they do so for all Americans.
They seek real national sovereignty and security for the USA, they do so for all Americans.
They support a Right to Life, they do so for all Americans, born and unborn.
They seek to enforce the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, they do so not for Trump, but for all American citizens.
Expose truth about criminal activities within the halls of our government, they do so for all Americans, present and future.
Expose ineligible candidates seeking high office, they do so not for Trump, but for all Americans.
Defend Trump, it’s intended to defend YOU, your kids, grandkids, and great grandkids!

I could keep going, but if you don’t get the point by now, it’s because you are trapped inside the Marxist echo chamber of anti-American propaganda and even though your belief structure is false, and doesn’t even make any common sense, you will remain trapped.

But everything I told you here is 100% true… maybe not for every Trump supporter, but for more than 98% of them. Some of you can still learn from new information made available. Others will insist upon learning truth the hard way.

It’s your choice, to remain in the echo chamber, or you can pay attention to truth and begin to think for yourself. It’s all up to you!

The rest of us will do what’s best for every American, whether or not you like it. Everyone who isn’t part of the solution is by default a part of the problem.

The Big Sucker Known as Tucker

“Let’s be clear about Vladimir Putin,” says conservative columnist Kurt Schlichter. “He’s a murderous scumbag ex-KGB colonel. He’s not a good guy. He’s not a hero. He’s a Russian nationalist and a massive thief.” But then, this columnist for the website Townhall says that poor Tucker Carlson was “set up” by Putin when the Russian dictator gave him an interview. His claim is that “Vladimir Putin set up Tucker Carlson by murdering Alexis Navalny just days after Tucker‘s controversial visit to Moscow and interview.”

Tucker wasn’t set up. He played into Putin’s hands, demonstrating to the world how a “top” American journalist can lose perspective and grovel before a mass murderer. Hopefully, this embarrassing performance disqualifies the former Fox News host from serving as Trump’s vice-presidential nominee.

Putin gave Tucker an interview, posing as a great statesman and historian, and then he arranged the death in prison of one of his domestic political opponents. He followed that by arresting an American ballerina in Moscow, charging her with treason.

If Tucker is a dupe, Biden is a bigger dupe, pretending to fight for freedom in Ukraine while failing to provide the former Soviet republic the means to fight and win.

Biden’s fate is unknown, in terms of the election, but Tucker has already taken his place along others in the profession who appeared on bended knee before other communist dictators and communist terrorists. They include Walter Duranty, a Stalin apologist, and Herbert Mathews, a mouthpiece for Castro.

Using the term “set up” takes Tucker off the hook for doing the dictator’s bidding. Tucker knew that he was dealing with a former KGB operative who has specialized in killing his enemies. The murder of Navalny, coming so soon after the Tucker interview, was another example of Putin’s power politics. As the Chinese communist Mao said, “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”

All communists understand this principle, except the Russian communists perfected the use of the nerve agent Novichok to kill.

Tucker wasn’t set up. Tucker set Putin up on a platform where he could pontificate without serious interruption. He dominated Tucker. Then Putin issued a statement with more powerful connotations when Navalny was declared dead from “sudden death syndrome.”

Putin sent another message with his gift of a Russian-made limousine to North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. The state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported “the gift serves as a clear demonstration of the special personal relations between the top leaders of the (North Korea) and Russia.”

Perhaps Putin is not so much an “ex-communist” but an active communist to the present day. But to admit this fact undermines the story line peddled by some “conservatives” that Putin is somehow a Christian patriot who opposes the “New World Order.”

Will the murder of Navalny somehow change their opinion of Putin?

Probably not.

Look at the disgraced Alex Jones suggesting that the Western intelligence agencies somehow murdered Navalny in a Russian prison. Alex Jones is a long-time stooge of the Russian propaganda apparatus who is now on the verge of financial bankruptcy because of court judgements finding him guilty of spreading lies about the deaths of kids at Sandy Hook.

He asks, “Why would Putin kill somebody who’s unpopular, who’s in prison, and then give the Western establishment a big win?”

No matter how “unpopular” Navalny was, he was considered a threat to Putin. Even though he was in prison, he was a symbol of opposition. He had to go. Putin is paranoid.

But understanding Putin’s anti-Americanism does not mean that the Congress should vote for $60 billion for Ukraine to send a message to the Russian dictator. Of the $60.7 billion for Ukraine, Associated Press says $38.8 billion would go to U.S. factories that make missiles, munitions and other gear.

This is their latch-ditch appeal – money for Ukraine is a U.S. jobs program.

However, I must conclude, after two years of this war, that the people around Biden do not want Ukraine to win the war. If we had a president like Reagan in the oval office, I would think differently.

To understand how Democrats in office start wars and then lose them is not isolationism.

Speaking to the Munich Security Conference, Republican Senator J.D. Vance noted that “…we don’t make enough munitions to support a war in Eastern Europe, a war in the Middle East, and potentially a contingency in East Asia. So the United States is fundamentally limited.”

We are “limited” because of the push for a “green economy” dependent on China and which forces our allies to buy Russian and Iranian oil.

Vance cited the following example: “The PAC-3, which is a Patriot interceptor, Ukraine uses in a month what the United States makes in a year. The Patriot missile system is on a five year back order, 155 millimeter artillery shells on more than a five year back order. We’re talking in the United States about ramping up our production of artillery to 100,000 a month by the end of 2025. The Russians make close to 500,000 a month right now at this very minute.”

Summing up, he says, “So the problem here vis-à-vis Ukraine is America doesn’t make enough weapons, Europe doesn’t make enough weapons, and that reality is far more important than American political will or how much money we print and then send to Europe.”

The answer, quite clearly, is for Europe, led by Germany, to rearm.

At the same time, Vance observed, “We have to remember that despite a lot of the hand-wringing, and I’ve heard a lot of it in private meetings and public meetings, Donald Trump was maybe the best president at deterring Russia in a generation. In fact, the only time that Russia has not invaded a foreign country over the last 20 years was the four years that Donald Trump was President.”

Regarding Putin’s latest assassination, Vance called Navalny “a brave person,” adding, “His death is a tragedy. I don’t think that he should have been in prison. I don’t think that he should have been killed in prison. And I condemn Putin for doing it. But here’s the problem: it doesn’t teach us anything new about Putin.”

We’ve known for a very long time that Putin is a dictator who kills his enemies. My book, Back from the Dead: The Return of the Evil Empire, is ten years old but tells the story of how Putin is assembling a global coalition of communist regimes and anti-American movements.

After Russia invaded Ukraine (again) under Biden, I wrote a column, ‘Saving America by Saving Ukraine,” but I now believe we must save America first. And that means understanding the dangers of Putin and his regime but also understanding the domestic situation under Biden and the Democrats. These people do not want the United States to win. They don’t want Ukraine to win and they don’t want Israel to win.

“You win wars with weapons, and the West doesn’t make enough weapons,” Vance explained.

As America tries to build more, at a very slow rate, the people of Ukraine suffer and wait. It’s clear Biden doesn’t care about their fate. If he did, he would have acted before now and he would not have encouraged an “incursion” from Russia in the first place.

What Vance says is not isolationism. It is realism. And that realism means that so-called “conservatives” and “Christians” rooting for Putin must wake up before they lose their own country to an enemy on the march here and abroad.

Change the Words, Change the World

By Coach Dave Daubenmire

February 22, 2024

Note: This commentary was first posted on Feb.26, 2009. Too poignant to not share again.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.” — Cicero (106-43 BC)

A coup has taken place in America. Our nation is no longer controlled by “the people.” Our domestic enemies are now officially in power. We are no longer free; we just think we are — and it has happened on our watch.

What we have failed to realize is that the Spiritual War and the Cultural War were one and the same. Because of our ignorance, the Church has engaged in the former but has ignored the latter. We did not understand that the “war in the heavenlies” manifests in the world. Our failure to fight for Truth has given us a nation ruled by liars.

We are a sin-laden nation because we have codified evil into the law. Content to focus on the “saving of souls” we have neglected Jesus’ admonition to occupy until He comes. As evil flourished, the Church retreated. We have failed to recognize that the battle in the heavenlies was for control of the earth. Jesus prayed that His Kingdom would come ON EARTH. We have yielded the earth and submitted to evil.

Cicero was right. Evil did not come dressed up in a red suit and carrying a pitchfork. It has come clothed in a three-piece suit and brandishing an Ivy League degree. While we looked for an army riding tanks and planes, we have been overrun by a force promoting education and arts. Using guns and bullets would have been too obvious. This war has been fought and won with words. Language was their weapon of mass destruction.

Paul warned us of this in Colossians 2:8 “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”

They called it multi-culturalism and it was promoted in our schools, but the formal name is Cultural Marxism. It gave birth to “political correctness” where thoughts became crimes. But it did not happen by accident. The only thing standing between Communism and world dominance was Western Civilization and its underpinnings of the Christian value system. The only way Communism could advance would be if Christianity could be rendered powerless; or, as Jesus said, if the salt was to lose his savor.

Do you remember the cries of the hippies? “Hey Hey, Ho Ho, Western Civ has got to go.” It was the fight song of Communism. The only thing preventing government from being god was the fact that the throne was already occupied. Twentieth century American’s believed that Jesus was God. The followers of Marx and his acolytes knew that to ascend to the throne they would have to overthrow God. They would advance gradually. “Make haste slowly” was their mantra and they would be patient.

They seized our public schools and infiltrated the universities. They captured the media, Hollywood, music, art, literature, science, history, civic organizations, and the seminaries. They changed the world by changing the way we thought about words; tolerance, social justice, economic justice, peace, reproductive rights, sex education and safe sex, safe schools, inclusion, diversity, and sensitivity were their linguistic weapons. (Is it just me or are those words permeating all of society today?) Do you think this happened by accident?

They would use our children to impeach God. Applying Critical Theory they would attack all things Christian. The Boy Scouts were bigots, the Ten Commandments were judgmental, Christmas was exclusive, and traditional marriage was discriminatory. They brainwashed us to think that real Christians were inclusive and tolerant, that truth was relative, that all cultures were the same and that homosexuality was not a sin.

They didn’t have to kill Jesus, only His influence. To be considered a good citizen in this new America, one only had to be tolerant of everything and believe in nothing. In fact, to be sure that you kept your thoughts to yourself they began to call certain thoughts “crimes.” They attacked you and even destroyed you if you dared to speak against them. Slowly, the voice of Jesus was muted.

Into the void the god-haters slinked. A different Christianity and a different America emerged. The God of judgment and wrath was dead and a resurrected “non-judgmental” Jesus became the new god that the new America embraced.

“Democracy is the road to socialism.” said Karl Marx. “Democracy is indispensable to socialism,” said his buddy Vladimir Lenin. “Give us the child for eight years and it will be a Bolshevik forever. Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted. A lie told often enough becomes the truth,” Lenin went on to say.

Elected officials call America a democracy. Our school books teach the same. Yet we are not a democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic, a nation of limited government chained down by a Constitution. Kill the Constitution and the Marxists can create or ignore the law. Change the words, change the world.

Communism can only thrive in the absence of the Gospel. Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty. Lady Liberty has been nearly decapitated.

But the battle is far from over. Each one of us is going to have to decide on just how valuable we think liberty is. Are you willing to sit silently as the chains of slavery are forged for your children? Ben Franklin warned us, “Anyone who trades liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security.” We should heed his words.

Washington DC is rapidly becoming the enemy. It is the terrorists with Ivy League degrees that should scare us. The ideological wars are really a religious war. Intellectual terrorism has reaped more havoc on this land than Al Qaeda ever will. Will the God of the Bible and the Principles that He declares rule on earth? Or will we give in to the “tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world.” Our generation will make the decision.

Marxists are in control of America. They are not liberals, they are not progressives, they are Communists. Their godless system has failed every place it has been tried. America is their beachhead. Will she be overthrown? Will Jesus lose this Spiritual battle? Will He yield the world once again to the Devil? I think not. “For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.” We are His ambassadors on the earth. It is time to do our duty.

So here is a good place to start. Let us take back our language. Stop allowing the cultural Marxists to create new labels. We must call things what they are.

“Progressives” and “liberals” are Marxists
“Conservativism” is counterfeit salt.
“Pro-choice” means pro-baby murder.
A “fetus” is an unborn child.
“Tolerance” means acceptance of sin.
“Gays” are sodomites.
“Affirmative Action” is white male discrimination.
An “undocumented worker” is an illegal alien.
The “mainstream media” are Marxists.
The “religious left” are humanistic socialists.
“Social justice” means advancement of homosexuality.
“Reproductive rights” is a buzz word for abortion.
“Sex education” is destruction of natural childhood modesty.
“Economic justice” is welfare.
“Government investment” means taxation.
“Sensitivity” means keep your mouth shut.
“Diversity” validates deviant ways to engage in sex.
A “Republican” is a socialist and a “Democrat” is a communist.
An “expert” is an academician with no practical experience.
“Public education” is atheistic, humanistic indoctrination.
“Separation of church and state” legalizes Christian discrimination.
Supreme Court “decisions” are opinions and are not laws.
“Christianity” is not a religion; it is a kingdom.
“Change” means Communism.

America can be saved if Americans will wake up. Stop using their words. Words have power. Let us call a Marxist a Marxist. Stand up and speak up. Our kids are depending on us.

No Main Character Energy: Boring, Incompetent, Useless Joe Biden

By Frosty Wooldridge

February 22, 2024

“Useful men, who do useful things, don’t mind being treated as useless. But the useless always judge themselves as being important and hide all their incompetence behind authority.” —Paulo Coelho

With an invasion of over 11 million illegal aliens now penetrating every corner of America, it’s safe to say that Joe Biden will go down in history as the most useless, incompetent and inept president ever to be elected to the presidency. He did it at blinding speed in 37 months. He did it without any understanding of the long-term consequences. He accomplished his intention to fundamentally change America from its successful foundation to a crumbling nightmare of accelerating conflict.

“The problem with incompetence is its inability to recognize itself,” said Orrin Woodward

Whether it’s Barack Obama, who vowed to fundamentally change America, or his followers who are entrenched in the Biden White House situation room—there is no question that America is being changed by one man or his handlers.

As the radio host Charlamagne said, “Biden has no main character energy.”

In other words, he’s boring because he is 81 years old with severe dementia and cognitive problems. He’s not in charge. He’s not making rational decisions. He’s not capable of handling the rigors of being president of the United States. Ironic that he has never worked a real job in his life in that he has been on the public dole in Washington DC for over 50 years. He never introduced one piece of legislation that improved America. He’s on par with Maxine Waters, Ilhan Omar or Rashida Talaib who are just as useless. He was an avowed racist through the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s, but somehow transformed into Black America’s hero in the last 20 years.

The New York Times wrote this week, “Biden is not up for another term.”

Henry Hazlitt said, “The whole gospel of Karl Marx can be summed up in a single sentence: Hate the man who is better off than you are. Never under any circumstances admit that his success may be due to his own efforts, to the productive contribution he has made to the whole community. Always attribute his success to the exploitation, the cheating, the more or less open robbery of others. Never under any circumstances admit that your own failure may be owing to your own weakness, or that the failure of anyone else may be due to his own defects – his laziness, incompetence, improvidence, or stupidity.”

The incompetent withdrawal from Afghanistan that got 13 military personnel killed proved sheer incompetence by Biden and his General Milley. The incredible incompetence and outright corruption of inviting over 11 million illegal aliens into our country tops the list for sheer insanity of non-leadership. The stunning deaths of 300,000 of our young people in the last three years from Biden’s open borders for drug cartels should have him impeached for his incompetence. The fact that he can’t put two sentences together in one speech or enforce our nation’s laws should make him eligible for the 25^th Amendment.

“In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.” Lawrence Peter, The Peter Principle

Mr. Peter wrote that book in the 1960’s. It states that in a system like ours, every person is promoted to his or her highest level of incompetence. Once at that level, that person wreaks havoc on everyone below their “rank” or “level” of authority.

As to all the “Sanctuary Cities”, all hell is breaking loose. It’s costing billions to house, feed and care for 11 million plus people who broke into our country without permission. One African-American yelled at the Chicago City Council, “Biden’s junkin’ up our city with these illegals.” Another Black said, “What about our people being served instead of all those illegals?”

New York Sanctuary City Mayor Adams said, “This invasion is destroying New York City.” Well, if you call illegal aliens beating up cops and shooting people, you would be correct. But then, Adams supports the 172,000 law breakers who have invaded his city. The costs are now into the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Whether you’re one of the 38 percent of Americans who approve of Joe Biden, which means you must be suffering from Alzheimer’s, too…because no one in his or her right mind would support such incompetence. Or, you’re part of the rest of the majority of the country that wants him to drop out…he’s already done the damage that won’t be solved unless every one of those people faces deportation.

No matter how you look at “incompetence”, Joe Biden has set the benchmark for the worst president in American history.

Headed for the Rocks?

By Lee Duigon

February 22, 2024

Where are we headed, as a country? Two of this week’s nooze stories suggest the ship is headed for the rocks.

I’m sure that when we created the Dept. of Homeland Security (looking more and more like one of the all-time bad ideas), we never thought it would wind up slithering its tentacles into our neighborhood schools. Oh, but they are!

As if it weren’t more than bad enough to have the FBI “investigating” parents who complain about their local school board’s Far Left sex-grooming policies, now the DHS is getting involved. Simply put, they are training teachers and students to spy on one another and rat each other out for “disinformation” and “violent extremism.” They are setting up a “K-12 surveillance program” (“K!” As in kindergarten? Really?) with a 12-week training course. Kids will spy on teachers, and each other, and teachers will spy on kids… and each other. Presumably DHS will do the rest. (“Ve haff vays of making you talk, comrade!”)

Of course we have no idea what the kooks in the Biden administration define as “disinformation” or “extremism.” These are apt to be exceeding broad definitions. Climate Change Denial! Election Results Denial! Gender Fluidity Denial! Anything that bucks The Narrative. Somewhere out there must be a first-grader who can’t name all the genders. Get him!

(Sorry for all the capital letters. I had to find some way to stress the sheer hypocrisy of the entire public education enterprise. Especially now that it’s so solidly welded to the Democrat Party.)

And what are many of the rest of us keeping busy with, as Rome burns? Another news item suggests: not much.

A Washington, D.C., man is suing Powerball for leading him to believe, all too briefly, that he had won $450 million in the lottery… When in fact he hadn’t.

They made a “mistake,” you see, when they posted the winning numbers on line one night in 2023—and kept them up there for six hours—while the real winning numbers, totally different, were announced on the live broadcast. So for a little while, this poor guy was deliriously happy, convinced he had just acquired fabulous wealth without having had to do a lick of work for it—not that you’d ever get $450 million just by working for it. All he had to do was buy a lottery ticket: didn’t have to earn it.

Whoops. Sorry about that, dude. You had the wrong numbers.

So he’s suing them. Honk if you think he has any better chance of winning the lawsuit than he had of winning the Powerball.

We all really do have to work harder if we don’t want our country going belly-up. All we have to do to save it is overcome the Democrat Party, the deep state, teachers’ unions, Hollywood, The Global Elite, a zillion illegal aliens, a running-dog nooze media that never tells the truth, and the kind of mind-set that gets seduced by Powerball. Smack them down and we’re home-free.

Pray harder.

Feb. 22: Reinstate Washington’s Birthday as a National Holiday — On His Real Birthday

By Attorney Rees Lloyd

February 22, 2024

February 22, 2022, is the 290th anniversary of the birth in 1732 of General and President George Washington, the “Father Of Our Country.” He was the most universally respected and admired American in the age of the Founding Fathers, and in the history of America.

For generations, George Washington’s Birthday was a National Holiday celebrated on the actual anniversary of his birth, February 22. On Washington’s Birthday. Americans paused to remember and honor him. Parents and schools taught American children about his life on his birthday; urged the children to learn about the Father Of His [Their] Country; and to follow his example of patriotic love of country, selfless service and sacrifice for freedom, personal honor, dedication to duty, fidelity to principle.

By observing Washington’s Birthday as a National Holiday on his actual birth date, Feb. 22, the focus of the nation was on Washington. However, all that changed in 1971. Congress — pressured by federal government bureaucrats and other employees and their unions desiring another paid three-day holiday — abolished “Washington’s Birthday” as a National Holiday. It was replaced with “Presidents’ Day,” to be observed on the “third Monday of February,” as a result of the “Uniform Monday Holiday Act,” which gave government employees their sought after three-day weekend.

As a result, Americans in general, and in particular American children in government schools, learn little or nothing about the greatest man in the history of America, George Washington, without whose extraordinary virtues and sacrifices they would not be free.

Further, and ignominiously, Washington’s Birthday was it was replaced by “President’s Day.” Got it? Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln—who were giants in history, were lumped in with the likes of politicians who held the office of President, but did little or nothing to ennoble it, and much to ignoble it by incompetence or moral failure.

No other president has been so universally admired in America — or in the world — as was General George Washington. Washington was by far the most admired man of the Founding Father’s generation. He was called the “Father Of His Country.” He was America’s first President, and the only President unanimously elected, and unanimously re-elected. He was, as Revolutionary War hero General “Light Horse” Harry Lee memorably said: “First in war. First in peace. First in the hearts of his countrymen.”

Can that be said today, when Washington’s Birthday is no longer a National Holiday, and the nation’s children learn more in progressive liberal, politically correct, cultural-relativist government schools about “the life of Mohammad” than the life of George Washington?

When schools, politicians, and media celebrate such farcical concocted “holidays” as “Kwanzaa” (never a holiday or observed in Africa) or “Cinco de Mayo” (never a holiday or observed in Mexico), while George Washington’s Birthday Holiday is no more?

George Washington, first, last, and always a soldier serving God and Country, was heralded in his time as the “Apostle of Liberty,” the “Indispensable Man,” having with his ragtag band of American citizen-soldiers of the Revolutionary Army defeated the English Empire, then the most powerful military force in the world, in eight years of war to establish our American independence, our freedom.

Washington did not seek the Presidency–it sought him. He was elected unanimously –twice. He was offered the Presidency for life. But he stunned the world when he refused a third term and even monarchial rule, and, instead walked away from power to return to his home as citizen. He was, is, our American “Cincinatus.” Washington, like that Fifth Century (BC), Roman general, fought the battles of the nation; held unequaled power; but did not covet it, and instead returned to his farm. So was Washington satisfied to be a citizen of a free America, rather than its ruler.

When Washington did that, walked away from ultimate power, even England’s King George III, whom Washington had defeated in our War of Independence, hailed Washington “as the greatest man of his era.”

John Adams, his successor as President, said of him: “If we look over the catalogue of the first magistrates of nations, whether they have been denominated Presidents or Consuls, Kings or Princes, where shall we find one whose commanding talents and virtues, whose overruling good fortune, have so completely united all hearts and voices in his favor?…His example is complete; and it will teach wisdom and virtue to Magistrates, Citizens, and Men, not only in the present age, but in future generations.”

Thomas Jefferson, father of the Declaration of Independence and our third president, said of Washington that he was: ”The only man in the United States who possessed the confidence of all. There was no other one who was considered as anything more than a party leader….And it may be truly said that never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great, and to place him in the same constellation with whatever worthies have merited from man an everlasting remembrance.”

Even the Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, who admitted his love of power and yielded to no man a claim of greater glory than he himself possessed, spoke of his admiration of Washington: “This great man fought against tyranny: he established the liberty of his country. His memory will always be dear to the French people, as it will be to all freemen.”

Are those words still true to this generation of Americans? Those words of Adams, Jefferson, Gen. Harry Lee, the English King George III and the French Emperor Napoleon, all speaking with awe at the example of Washington’s life as one which would be taught “not only in the present age, but in future generations,” as John Adams said, and his memory “held dear..to all free men” as Napoleon said?

Is Washington still “First in war. First in peace. First in the hearts of his countrymen,” as Gen. “Light Horse” Harry Lee said of him? If not, why not?

Are we Americans better for it, as a people, as a nation, when we honor no longer the one American who was so universally acknowledged in his time — and up to this generation of transformed Americans — as the Greatest American, the Father Of Our Country? He who defeated tyranny, held ultimate power by acclamation and then walked away from it to preserve the freedom he had created as a soldier? He who lived his life for God and Country?

Are the children of a nation, like the children of a family, really better off, better people, by forgetting their father, being without their father, forgetting the virtues their father taught, being orphaned?

We Americans today, whatever our ages, whatever our ancestry, ethnicity, or race, as Americans, are the children of the American Founding Fathers, including in the particular George Washington, whom the Founding Fathers proclaimed the greatest among them, the Father Of Our Country.

May both the God that George Washington so faithfully served bless and keep him; may the Country he so loyally served always remember and honor him; and may the lessons of his life be learned in this and every generation so that the freedom he fought for and created may not wither and weaken, to be destroyed by enemies foreign, or domestic.

Tell Congress to repeal the “Uniform Monday Holiday Act,” no matter the tears and anguish of taxpayer-paid government employees who will be deprived of another three-day holiday — and no matter the loss to the politicians of those government employees’ campaign contributions by which they purchased their uniform three-day weekend holidays from the politicians by elimination of George Washington’s Birthday for the uninspiring “Presidents Day.”

Congress should re-establish George Washington’s Birthday as a National Holiday — and celebrate it on his actual birth day, February 22. The Father Of Our Country deserves no less. The people of our nation, especially the children, deserve no less.

FOR GOD AND COUNTRY FOREVER; SURRENDER TO TYRANNY–NEVER!

Abuse of the No Fly List

By Paul Engel

February 21, 2024

When does the No Fly List become a tool of tyranny?
Can government actors avoid the consequences of their actions by simply calling them moot?
Could you be on the No Fly List and not even know it.

While looking through recent oral arguments at the Supreme Court, I stumbled across the case FBI v. Fikre. At first, I thought it was another simple procedural case, but something about it caught my attention. The oral arguments held before the Supreme Court were about whether Mr. Fikre’s rights were violated when he was placed on the No Fly List, and was not moot because he ad been removed from the list. As I started looking deeper into the case though, I found intrigue worthy of a Grisham novel.

The No Fly List

Most Americans have heard of the “No Fly List”. Created after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the “watch list” is actually two lists.

The Terrorist Screening Center, a division within the FBI’s National Security Branch, maintains a terrorism watchlist. Two components of that watchlist are the No Fly List, which contains the names of individuals who are prohibited from flying within, to, from, and over the United States, and the Selectee List, which contains the names of individuals who must undergo enhanced security screening before being permitted to board a flight.

FBI v Fikre – Petition for Certiorari

According to Laura K. Donohue in her book The Cost of Counterterrorism: Power, Politics, and Liberty, when the watch list was created, the No Fly and Selectee lists contained less than 1,000 names. By April, 2005, those lists contained over 70,000 names. Updated numbers are hard to obtain since the FBI keeps membership in the list secret, even from those on the list.

Individuals can appeal travel-related issues through DHS’s Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (TRIP). See 49 C.F.R. 1560.205. Before 2015, individuals who requested redress using DHS TRIP were not told whether they were on the No Fly List and were not given any reasons or evidence supporting their possible inclusion on that list. …

In 2015, the government revised DHS TRIP to include additional procedural safeguards. See ibid. United States citizens and lawful permanent residents seeking redress now are told whether they are on the No Fly List and, to the extent possible consistent with national-security and law-enforcement interests, the reasons for their status.

Fikre v. FBI (16-36072) – Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals – Opinion

Fikre v. FBI

Which brings us to Mr. Yonas Fikre and his encounter with the No Fly List and the FBI.

Fikre is an American citizen who, until 2009, lived in Portland, Oregon and worked for a cellular telephone company. In late 2009, Fikre traveled to Sudan to establish a consumer electronics business in East Africa. In April 2010, while still in Sudan, Fikre was approached by two FBI agents who questioned him about his association with the as-Saber Mosque in Portland and his commercial finances. The agents told Fikre that he had been placed on the No Fly List, which identifies individuals who are prohibited from flying into, out of, or over the United States and Canadian airspace by commercial airlines.

Fikre v. FBI (16-36072) – Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals – Opinion

A United States citizen travels to Sudan for work, where he is approached and questioned by two FBI agents. While I did not find the details in the Ninth Circuit opinion, it appears that the primary, if not only reason, the FBI questions Mr. Fikre was his association with a mosque and his business. Somehow, this was enough to place Mr. Fikre on the infamous No Fly List. Or was it?

The FBI agents offered to remove Fikre from the list if he became a government informant. Fikre refused.

Fikre v. FBI (16-36072) – Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals – Opinion

Here’s where red flags flew up for me. Is Mr. Fikre a danger to air travel, or merely a potential informant for the FBI? Either way, Mr. Fikre was unable to return to the country of his citizenship because he had been put on a list. But his tribulations were not over.

Fikre’s business took him to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in September 2010. As recounted by Fikre, Emirati secret police seized him from the place where he was staying in June 2011 and transported him to an unknown location where he was imprisoned and tortured for 106 days. During this time, Fikre was interrogated about his connection to the as-Saber Mosque and the nature of his financial dealings.

Fikre v. FBI (16-36072) – Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals – Opinion

Why was the UAE interested in a mosque in Portland, OR?

One of the interrogators told Fikre that the FBI had requested his detention.

Fikre v. FBI (16-36072) – Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals – Opinion

Mr. Fikre was released by UAE officials in September 2011. Since he was unable to return home because of being on the No Fly List, he sought refuge in Sweden.

Getting Off the No Fly List

While the process for being placed on the No Fly List is shrouded in secrecy, the government was nice enough to provide a way to challenge your placement.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)’s Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (TRIP) allows individuals the opportunity to have the Transportation Security Administration review and, if appropriate, correct their files if it determines that a person has been erroneously placed on a watchlist.

Fikre v. FBI (16-36072) – Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals – Opinion

It appears, when it comes to the No Fly List, you’re considered guilty until proven innocent. That is, if you could actually find out you were on the No Fly List.

As initially implemented in 2007, the government responded to TRIP inquiries without confirming a traveler’s inclusion on the No Fly List. Fikre attempted in November 2013 to rectify his situation through TRIP, but the DHS neither confirmed nor denied his placement on the No Fly List in response to this first inquiry; it stated only that “no changes or corrections [we]re warranted at th[at] time.”

Fikre v. FBI (16-36072) – Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals – Opinion

Basically, the United States government would neither confirm, nor deny, that Mr. Fikre was on the No Fly List, even though he was not allowed to board an airplane to the United States because he was on the list. Standard bureaucratic double-speak.

In 2015, the DHS modified TRIP to comply with the judgment in Latif v. Holder, 28 F. Supp. 3d 1134 (D. Or. 2014). The revised TRIP protocol includes additional procedural safeguards that were unavailable at the time Fikre filed his action. Requesters are now apprised of their presence or absence on the No Fly List and the unclassified reasons for their status. Applying the revised procedures, in February 2015 the DHS informed Fikre that he was and would remain on the No Fly List because he had been “identified as an individual who may be a threat to civil aviation or national security.” No other reasons were provided for the decision to maintain Fikre on the No Fly List.

Fikre v. FBI (16-36072) – Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals – Opinion

Eight years after its implementation, the Traveler Redress Inquiry Program now actually admits if someone is on the No Fly List. Now this program admits Mr. Fikre is, in fact, on the No Fly List. The only reason given is that someone thinks he is a threat to civil aviation or national security. Apparently, the concept of Due Process is as foreign to the FBI as the idea of liberty and justice for all.

Fighting Back

What did Mr. Fikre do in response to this revelation from the FBI? He filed a lawsuit.

Fikre avers that these events damaged his reputation by stigmatizing him as a suspected terrorist and so strained his marriage that his wife divorced him while he was stranded outside of the country.

Fikre brought the instant suit against the government raising a variety of common law, statutory, and constitutional claims. As relevant here, Fikre alleged that the FBI violated his right to substantive due process by depriving him of his liberty interest in his reputation and international travel, and by conditioning his removal from the No Fly List upon his agreement to become a government informant. Fikre’s complaint also maintained that the FBI denied him procedural due process by placing and keeping him on the No Fly List without adequate notice and an opportunity to be heard. Fikre prayed for injunctive and declaratory relief for both due process claims and asked, among other things, for a declaration by the government that he should not have been added to the No Fly List.

Fikre v. FBI (16-36072) – Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals – Opinion

The court noted that Mr. Fikre’s original complaint contained 16 causes of action, but the appeal only dealt with his due process and Fourth Amendment claims.

This is when the next twist in our saga appeared.

The Defendants moved to dismiss the operative complaint and, shortly thereafter, notified Fikre that he had been removed from the No Fly List. In a joint status report filed at the district court’s direction, Fikre agreed that, to the extent he sought an injunction requiring the Defendants to remove him from the list, that claim was moot. Fikre contended, however, that he remained entitled to other injunctive and declaratory relief.

Fikre v. FBI (16-36072) – Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals – Opinion

Now that they’re being sued, the FBI removes Fikre from the No Fly List, then claims he no longer has a cause of action because he’s not on the list anymore. The Ninth Circuit Court noted:

The district court subsequently dismissed Fikre’s remaining procedural and substantive due process claims in a detailed decision. The court reasoned that the government’s removal of Fikre from the No Fly List was “a sufficiently definite action” to render his claims moot. In reaching this conclusion, the district court observed that the Defendants had publicly stated that Fikre was no longer on the No Fly List, that more than six months had elapsed since this change in status, and that the record did not indicate a lack of good faith on the government’s part. The district court also “emphasize[d]” that “the courthouse doors will be open to [Fikre]” were he to be reinstated to the No Fly List in the future.

Fikre v. FBI (16-36072) – Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals – Opinion

Not only did the District Court ignore the consequences of the FBI placing Mr. Fikre on the No Fly List, it actually claimed there was no lack of good faith on the government’s part. To my knowledge, the FBI has yet to produce any evidence of probable cause that Mr. Fikre was ever a threat to air travel or national security. Furthermore, the FBI tried to extort Mr. Fikre to become an informant in exchange for not only being removed from the list, but being allowed to go home. There is also testimony that the FBI engaged a foreign entity, the United Arab Emeries, to detain and torture Mr. Fikre in what appears to be an attempt to circumvent U.S. law and the Constitution. How much bad faith does the District Court need?

We reverse the district court’s dismissal of Fikre’s due process claims and remand for further proceedings.

Fikre v. FBI (16-36072) – Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals – Opinion

In 2018, eleven years after his saga began, the Ninth Circuit reversed the District Court’s decision of mootness. This means the case went back to the District Court to be heard. One might hope that Mr. Fikre’s ordeal was over, but no. The District Court again found Mr. Fikre’s case moot, although with a few modifications. Once again, Mr. Fikre appealed to the Ninth Circuit.

The panel reversed the district court’s dismissal on mootness grounds of Yonas Fikre’s substantive due process and non-stigma-related procedural due process No Fly List claims; vacated the district court’s dismissal of Fikre’s stigma-plus procedural due process claim; and remanded to the district court to consider, in the first instance, whether Fikre stated a viable stigma-plus procedural due process claim considering both his past placement on the No Fly List and his alleged inclusion in the Terrorist Screening Database.

Fikre v. FBI (20-35904) – Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals – Opinion

Meanwhile the District Court separated the stigma-related and non-stigma-related claims, the Circuit Court pointed out.

The panel held that because the government failed to follow the instructions given by this Court the last time Fikre’s case was before the court, see Fikre v. FBI (Fikre I), 904 F.3d 1033 (9th Cir. 2018), the district court erred by dismissing as moot Fikre’s No Fly List claims.

Fikre v. FBI (20-35904) – Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals – Opinion

What did the government fail to do?

In Fikre I, the Court held that an exception to mootness – the voluntary cessation doctrine – applied to Fikre’s No Fly List claim. On remand, FBI Supervisory Special Agent Christopher Courtright filed a declaration in support of the government’s motion to dismiss. The panel held that the Courtright Declaration did not provide the assurances specified by Fikre I as adequate to overcome the voluntary cessation to mootness. The government has assured Fikre only that he does not currently meet the criteria for inclusion on the No Fly List. It has not repudiated the decision to place Fikre on the list, nor has it identified any criteria for inclusion on the list that may have changed. Because Fikre I governs, the district court should not have dismissed the No Fly List due process claims as moot.

Fikre v. FBI (20-35904) – Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals – Opinion

So the FBI basically said “Oops”, and thought that would get them off the hook. Well, the Ninth Circuit didn’t buy that. And since the FBI did not buy the Ninth Circuit’s opinion, they appealed to the Supreme Court.

Supreme Court

The court of appeals erred in holding that respondent’s claims challenging his placement on the No Fly List are not moot even though he was removed from that list seven years ago and the government has submitted a sworn declaration stating that he “will not be placed on the No Fly List in the future based on the currently available information.”

FBI v Fikre – Petition for Certiorari

Not surprising, the FBI seems to be ignoring those inconvenient facts found in the Ninth Circuit case. The reasoning behind their appeal? It’s that other circuits have found differently.

The court’s holding directly conflicts with decisions of the Fourth and Sixth Circuits that have found similar No Fly List claims moot upon the execution of declarations materially identical to the one in this case.

FBI v Fikre – Petition for Certiorari

Yet Sopan Joshi, attorney representing the FBI, stated in his opening remarks during oral arguments at the Supreme Court claimed:

Respondent’s No Fly List claims are moot. He’s not on the list. He hasn’t been on the list in eight years. And he won’t be put back on the list in the future based on the currently available information. That makes it absolutely clear that his return to the list for the same reasons he was put on it initially can’t reasonably be expected to recur.

FBI v. Fikre – Oral Arguments before the Supreme Court

How is it absolutely clear that Mr. Fikre will not be returned to the No Fly List for the same reason he was initially put on it, if the FBI refuses to identify the reason he was put on the list in the first place? And how can Mr. Fikre avoid being placed on the list if the FBI won’t identify what changed to have him removed from the list?

Conclusion

What at first seemed to be little more than a procedural case has really captured my attention. Intrigue, spy craft, and black lists reminds me of the Tom Clancy novels I used to enjoy. Imagine being stranded overseas, unable to return home, and not knowing the reason why? He was interrogated first by the FBI, and next by a foreign power’s secret police. Then, when you finally get your day in court, the government simply changes its mind and expects to get away scot-free.

This should be an interesting opinion to read. I wonder how many U.S. citizens have been captured by the No Fly List without any probable cause or due process? This is also not the first time a government has attempted to get away with illegal acts by changing things after the fact and calling the claims against them moot. All in all, it could be a very interesting opinion indeed.

Whom The World Calls Prideful, Arrogant & Divisive, Are Always Called So By Cowards

by Bradlee DeanFebruary 21, 2024

True Humility = gives glory to God. False Humility = gives glory to self.

Recently, a friend of mine posted on his site, “I learned long ago that the pride and arrogance of just one man often brings division among many men.”

The above statement above is true concerning the fruits of the flesh, but not of the Spirit, and it is important that we make distinction. How many times I have been accused of being prideful, arrogant, and divisive is more than I can count.

I was being accused of being such things by those who should have known better, namely, the do-nothing hypocrites found within the four walls of the American church (Matthew 23:3). I had also noticed that simultaneously these hypocrites were going in the same direction that the prideful, arrogant, divisive, defamatory, lying, and malicious mainstream media were going in when doing the attacking (Revelation 12:10).

As you will see, the responses to my friend’s post above were coming from those who did not know what they were scripturally and spiritually responding to. Why? Because they have never been the ones who were under attack, or for standing up in this good fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12).

Such responses to his post were:

“Not that it would stop him.”
“It is the counterfeit of the unifying contagion of brave men.”
“So true!”
“Brings out the worst in many.”
Holiness without humility is pride. Lord help us.”
“Yup!”
“I’ve seen it for years.”

…And on and on they went.

For the most part, this is coming from those who do not understand the workings of the Holy Ghost. They accuse and persecute the brethren, in this case with their words, while thinking that they are doing God a service (John 16:2-3). This up above is a clear spiritual misunderstanding of what Christian humility actually is all about.

Let me ask you, is it not better to be divided by truth than to be united in error?

Is it not better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills?

It was Jesus who said:

“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.” -Matthew 10:34

What of Luke 12:51, where Jesus said;

“Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division.” -Luke 12:51

Was this prideful, arrogant or divisive? I speak as a man . No, scripturally speaking, this was not at all prideful nor arrogant though it may look like that to those who are not in the fight for the souls of men. However, it is very divisive because this is what the truth does in order to unite.

When Moses, the meekest man alive, went and confronted Pharaoh and told him to let the children of Israel go (Exodus 6:11). Was this prideful? Was this arrogance? No, it was bold obedience unto the Lord that he loved in the fight for his people to separate them from the bondage of the Pharaoh and his people.

What about King David’s brother Eliab saying unto him, “I know thy pride” (1 Samuel 17:28)? This, of course, took place before little David went to the battlefield to face off with the giant named Goliath, who was defying the armies of the Living God.

During this particular time, Saul and his army were standing down when David stood up. Was this prideful? Was this arrogance? Or was little David being divisive, or was he fighting to set his people free from their oppressors?

Now, just imagine if Eliab‘s pride, arrogance and divisiveness would have had its way in attacking David? Goliath and the Philistines would have never been conquered.

What about that lone prophet of God, Elijah, the troubler of Israel, said the corrupt King Ahab (1 Kings 18:17-18)?

Picture Elijah on the top of Mount Carmel asking the people how long they were going to continue in faltering between the Lord and Baal (1 Kings 18:21)?

Only then would he call down the fire from Heaven which exposed the false prophets of Baal.

Was this prideful? Was this arrogance? Absolutely not! Just obedience unto the Lord he loved and served in setting his people free (John 8:32).

Was Elijah being divisive? Absolutely he was because this is what the Word of God does through his humble servants in a righteous command, directive, and application (Hebrews 4:12).

Elijah stood up to be counted. He rose to the level of his Father’s expectations, and simply went to the top of the mountain in order to set the record straight as to whom the Lord was in liberating his people from the counterfeits.

Remember Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (Daniel 3)? Were they being prideful, arrogant, and divisive when they defied Nebuchadnezzar in refusing to bow to his idol? You can rest assured they were accused of all of it, but if what they accused them of was true, the fourth Man would have not shown up on their behalf in delivering them from the wrath of the tyrant’s fire!

Furthermore, the Lord of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego would not have been decreed as the God of gods.

“That every people, nation, and language, which speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.” -Daniel 3:19

How about Daniel when he refused to stop praying to the Living God (Daniel 6:10-28)? Was Daniel being prideful, arrogant, and divisive in seeking the face of the Lord? After all, Daniel was praying for the people that he was responsible to oversee.

Daniel knew the consequences of holding to the Lord, and in consequence, he was thrown into the lion’s den only to be protected by His angels and delivered (Daniel 6:16-23).

In the end, those who accused Daniel of wrong doing were then thrown into the lion’s den where they were devoured.

What Of John the Baptist, Peter, Paul, Steven, and the rest of the martyred disciples? Were they being prideful, arrogant or divisive in preaching repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus (Acts 20:21)?

Friends, they were not, in any sense of the word, being prideful or arrogant. They were holding forth the Word of Life and Truth in preaching against “The thief (who) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.”

Jesus, whose Word divides, said: “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).

Men and women of God are to preach, standing on the Word that does divide the obedient from the disobedient (1 John 2:4), the holy from the defiled (Ezekiel 44:23), the sheep from the goats (Matthew 25:31-46), and the righteous from the unrighteous (Matthew 7:23).

Don’t talk to me about a false humility. False humility is an affront to the work Jesus Christ, in an attempt to rob God of His Glory!

Yet, those who have no testimony in the Lord seem to talk out of school when making such comments as we read above (Romans 15:18).

They have a different language, which speaks with a double meaning. There are two different voices, friends. One is of the Spirit and the other of the flesh, which is without testimony (Romans 7:8-9). Make distinction.

How much of this carnality is prevalent in the church of the Apostates, today? Especially, when it comes from those who know not Christ (Matthew 7:29), and have no part in this divine-spiritual life. Read 2 Peter 1:4. They set themselves as the accuser of the brethren (Revelation 12:10). Beware.

They are those who do their best to stop the works and progression of those who are being led of the Spirit of God, the ones that are obedient unto the Lord (Romans 8:14) in pushing Zion forward.

These are the ones who want you to see it from their inexperience, who know nothing of the trials and the tribulations that go with this call (Acts 14:22).

Simply look to their lack of fruit in the light of Scripture and judge for yourselves what source they derive their statements (Matthew 7:16-20)!

“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” -Titus 1:16

Great Awakening preacher Charles Finney said of humility:

“Humility is spoken of, as if it consisted in a deep sense of unworthiness, whereas it is consists in no such thing.

If humility consisted in a sense of unworthiness, the devil might be humble, and doubtless are, if this is humility.

Convicted sinners might also be humble, and doubtless are, if this is humility. I scarcely ever in my life, heard a minister speak of humility as if he had any definitely developed idea of what it is.

Humility consists in a willingness to be known and appreciated according to our real character.”

I conclude by saying that bold-hearted men, whom the world calls prideful, arrogant and divisive, are always called so by cowards!

Idaho Considers More Mandatory Minimums for Fentanyl

by Idaho State Senator Phil Hart

February 20, 2024

In our 2024 legislative session at the Statehouse in Boise, the bill that I have worked on the hardest is not a bill that I am promoting, it’s a bill that I am trying to amend. Without at least three amendments, this bill is a train wreck. I am talking about House Bill 406 (HB406), legislation that will create mandatory minimum prison sentences for trafficking in fentanyl. One of the main concerns is that language of the bill is written so broadly that this bill will likely increase Idaho’s prison population so much that we will need to build a new prison. The financial impact of HB406 is in the multiple of hundreds of millions of dollars.

My first objection to the bill is that it defines trafficking in such a way that moderate users of fentanyl are going to be classified as traffickers just because they had a three day to a five day supply of their drugs on hand. These people will be sent to prison for three to ten years just for using the drug while having done nothing to traffic any drugs; although the charge will be “trafficking”. Without HB406’s mandatory minimum sentences, a first offender would most likely go to drug court for a cost to the tax payers of $13,000 a year. Instead, with the passage of HB406, Idaho tax payers will be paying $90,000 to $300,000 to warehouse these people.

The flood of fentanyl coming across our southern border is being done on an industrial scale, and it is going to take a military operation to end it. This bill is being promoted as a way to go after the Mexico drug cartels, but HB406 won’t even create a speed bump for the real drug kingpins.

(Pictured here is Cochise County Arizona Sheriff Mark Dannels, center, with Senator Phil Hart, right, and Johnothan Alexander on the left of Live Border News, November 27, 2023, Sierra Vista Arizona. Cochise County and Santa Cruz County to its west see 25% of the fentanyl coming across it’s border with Mexico.)

A mandatory minimum statute ties the judge’s hands and forces him to sentence a defendant to a term in prison that the legislature determined the length of. Never mind that the judge is close to the case and can make a determination as to what is best for the defendant and best for public’s safety. Mandatory minimums were first used in New York beginning in 1973. Michigan implemented them in 1976 and Florida in 1979. These three states, having seen their prison populations explode upward and their costs go through the roof, have abandoned their earlier policies of mandatory minimums for a mix of rehabilitation programs for some, and prison sentences for others. They also learned that the “traffickers” they imprisoned were generally the low-level mules who transported drugs to get a cut of them for free to support their drug habit. The kingpin traffickers would not get caught. These three states came to the conclusion that warehousing non-violent offenders for years was a poor use of tax payer’s money. Reforms followed.

“In New York, the “buyer’s remorse” was almost immediate. One of Governor Rockfeller’s closest aids, Joe Persico, helped push the bill through the legislature. Looking back, Persico said, “I concluded very early that this was a failure. It’s filling up the prisons with first time offenders. This was obviously unjust – and not just unjust, it was unwise; it was ineffective.”[1]

Another aspect of HB406 that qualifies it as a train wreck is the language that provides that any mixture of any materials will be deemed to be pure fentanyl if it contains just a trace of the illegal drug. For example, today getting caught with one fentanyl pill will send you to drug court for 6 months, but drop that pill into a quart of water and now you have a combined substance of one gram of fentanyl plus 899 grams of water. However, the statute will say it is 900 grams of fentanyl and you are going to prison for 10 years as a trafficker.

Sen. Hart in Douglas Arizona (Cochise County) at the Mexico border November 26, 2023

Two weekends ago, I met with 22 recovering drug and alcohol users. One of them told of how he was prosecuted by the federal government for fentanyl possession. The Fed’s sent his fentanyl pills to a lab where they determined that 10% of his pills were fentanyl, and the other 90% was filler. He got prosecuted for possessing a quantity of fentanyl that represented 10% of the weight of his pills. If the federal government can determine an exact amount of the drug, why can’t the state of Idaho? It is not because dummies live in Idaho. Idaho leads the nation in the number of patents issued per capita.[2] In Idaho, we can do better.

Lastly, section 3 of the bill creates a new crime called “Drug Induced Homicide”. The crime occurs when someone dies of an overdose and another person was sharing that drug with them. The surviving party will be charged with this low-level form of murder. There doesn’t even need to be any intent to kill. If you were there, and you both partook of the same drug, you can be found guilty of this statutorily defined murder. I am told that the lack of “intent to kill” is a constitutional defect in the bill. The experts that I am listening to believe this will be challenged in court. Most likely the challenger will be someone who is charged with this “drug induced homicide” and will use a public defender as their lawyer. On the other side of the case will be the state of Idaho defending its statutes. For this case, tax payers will be paying for both sides of the case. Oh, what a poor use of tax payers’ money! It would be better to amend the bill and use language that is not guaranteed to end up in court.

I believe this new law, with its expanded definition of what constitutes trafficking, will add hundreds of additional inmates to Idaho’s prisons. Because our prisons are already full and we are storing prisoners in other states, it will also add to the cost of transporting our inmates around the country. House Bill 406 will add $100,000,000’s to Idaho’s budget, and we will have to build at least one new prison paid for with higher taxes.

SDGs: Local Chokeholds

by Lynne M Taylor

February 20, 2024

My dear fellow Americans, recently APC published my article concerning the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) on a local level. Thank you for all the feedback I’ve received. This article will give you a first person account of what happened as a result of practicing citizen activism. Read, share and let’s band together!

LMT

A Local’s Experience:

As many of you may know, I make it a point to speak up in my local government as much as I can. Currently, the town of Mooresville, NC is conducting a series of town meetings to invite citizens to weigh in on the latest comprehensive planning efforts. Now, if you’ve followed my blog for a while, you know that I’ve reported Mooresville is in the thick of becoming a UN (United Nations) hub. You also know that I’ve shared how the town has been a pilot for the massive amounts of student data harvesting/tracking; inclusive housing (meaning to create housing for workforce), and other items which fit right into the CCSS Machine. However, Mooresville is hardly alone in its efforts to become a cookie cutter hotbed of conformity.

When I attended the first citizen meeting, it was held at a citizen center. The meeting room was laid out in almost a maze-like pattern of stations.

Upon walking in the door, there was a place to make a name tag for yourself as well as fill out a short survey which included your address, email, income level and if you owned or rented a home. You were given a one page flier at this table which laid out the context: hands-on, interactive conversations where I could share my desires for making my town a place to live/work/learn/play.

As soon as you left that table you were guided to the first of 10 stations. At the first station you were given 3 poker chips and a choice of 6 flower pots.

Each pot was described by the leader of the entire city project: a non-resident who was hired by the Town to head up the “Mooresville Tomorrow” project*. The department which hired Mack (not his real name) is the Planning and Community Development Dept. As Mack introduced us to the concept for our time together, he shared that the focus was to help the Town shape its goals and strategies for the future. He also shared that Mooresville HAD to do this. I asked why and was told that no matter what town or city Mack goes to, he helps guide plans to fit zoning and rezoning efforts. Again, I asked why is this necessary. The answer I received is a big clue for you to look in your town/city or area (in the US and across the world): state laws (federal and regional, too) REQUIRE every local municipality to have zones. IF those zoning laws are not met, funding gets cut and citizens could suffer. So when Mack told me almost comically in response to my questions “It’s the law.” I knew it was trouble. Any hope of weighing in on what I wanted my tax dollars to support and not being pre-selected for me, went out the door.

(*Note: The Mooresville Tomorrow project appears to be an extension of the already approved and in the works “Mooresville One” Plan which is a comprehensive combination of turning a historic town into a modern 15 minute mess. Some of the same images and plots are showing up in both.)

Which leads me back to the 6 flower pots. NONE of the options were what I would even consider worth investing in.

Pot #1: access to the local lake (the description stated that as a group, town residents highly value the lake and its environmental/recreational benefits. Planning ahead means as more rack and stack apartments are built near the lake, public access is a must. I must point out that this lake is the chief water source for the entire area, especially inside the town limits. (This pot’s purpose totally glosses over the fact that the lake being built around has been suspected and investigated for a tremendously high rate of all types of cancer in the area, as well as, many citizens do not use the lake or care to access it because the have their own environment and recreational needs met at their choosing.)

Pot #2: fostering development of walkable multi-use centers. (described as a way to meet the changing needs of workers and households so that a balance between urban and traditional spaces can mesh. The example given was to re-create Charlotte NC’s City Center in Mooresville. The future holds that new development will be built this way while older neighborhoods are redeveloped.)

Pot #3: focusing on regional and internal mobility connections (in other words, how can traffic become less about your car and how you travel using more public or becoming more pedestrian)

Pot #4: providing opportunities for developing new housing choices (first off, housing is a defined market including mobile homes, single family homes, apartments and condominiums. So this begs the question, what other type of housing is there? The description for this pot stated that after several attempts to have affordable housing for the workforce, this is a must to cut down on the 70 percent who commute to work. I can attest that of the new rack/stack apartments, rent starts out at well over $1,000 a month; well above what many limited income residents can afford. This counts those gainfully employed as well as those who are being forced out of their single family homes and into rental properties.) So, is this really about housing ‘choices’ or reducing your travel?

Pot #5: leveraging utility and transportation investments to support economic and housing development (described as the city government has been ‘fortunate to have more than $1.1 billion in public transportation funds.) Between local bonds (bonds are deferred taxation schemes), state and federal funds’. So the future means we must address new infrastructure.

Note: any city, town, state or federal entity which puts economics first, over people is fascist. Go back and read the pot’s point: ‘economic and housing’, not housing and economic. Also note that if you meet anyone who drives in this part of NC, the road planning which exists has been in need of addressing WELL before anything in the future!

Pot #6: expanding quality of life through green spaces (the description revealed that town residents have identified parks and trails as important. More greenways, civic spaces are important. Again, Charlotte is the example.)

Note: The problems with using Charlotte as an example are a) major population difference, b) major city vs town, c) Charlotte is among the Climate Mayors (Extra Note: over 500 US cities (Mooresville is also listed as a member) are represented and since the group’s beginning, regardless of local elections, the cities remain on the list, so any previous mayor to those in the future, if your town/city are on the list: watch out.) IF you live outside the US, the Global Covenant of Mayors, which represent close to 13, 000 cities (at least 185 of these are American), is also worth looking into.

The Other Stations:

Anti Fed Ed Warriors, you’re probably wondering when the education part of all this will show up, since that’s my blog’s purpose. Trust me, we will get there and it will be something you may not expect, as far as the SDGs.

However, let me tell you a bit more about the stations.

For 2 of the remaining 9, we were given red and green dot stickers and coached into using them to show our preference for the types of neighborhoods we would prefer. There were duplexes (we currently have plenty), row houses (aka: tiny homes), mixed used neighborhoods (being overrun with these), rack and stack apartments (are seeing massive amounts of trees and land destroyed for these), and single family homes with postage stamp size yards (1/4 acre or smaller, no garage and no front yard). There was also an option to choose a single family home with a ‘large yard’ (meaning a garage, front and back yard not to exceed 1/2 acre. (*Note: so, for all the town’s original city plots which are well over 1/2 acre; what is to become of them? What about the homes which occupy these large lots?) In all the options we were given to choose from, anywhere from one to three stories for mixed use and homes. Apartments would be even taller. Existing building codes prohibit really tall buildings, yet we’re already seeing projects being considered of 6 or more stories!

Some of the other stations had you choose between where you’d spend your money locally, under this new footprint; have you pick out what type of greenspace is best; what changes you’d make to the town based on all the travels and places you’ve lived, as well as share your personal thoughts as to why all this change is or isn’t a good thing. The biggest elephant in the room, however, was Station 5. A roundtable with a picture of home in the middle, 6 destinations surrounding it and piles of purple (public transportation), red (bike), blue (walk) and yellow (car) yarns. The instructions told you to use the color yarn to denote which would be your choice for traveling FOR A PURPOSE. Note, not pleasure, just tasks.

If you ever needed an illustration of being hemmed in, this table certainly showed it.

Where the SDGs Come Out to “Play”:

After I got home, I knew I had to find out what company the town had hired to orchestrate this symphony of agenda. Turns out it’s the APA (American Planning Association). Mack is one of their certified AICPs (American Institute of Certified Planners). These AICPs are progressive in their tactics. They also go to towns and cities all around the country. APA’s tagline is “Creating Great Communities for All”. Their 2024 top priority is ‘zone reform’* to address the ‘housing crisis’.

Meanwhile the AICPs are actively seeking to align themselves to the cities, counties and regions using ‘sustainable development’. When you consider that the APA is in full support (and creating) ‘green communities’, the writing’s on the wall.

(*Note: among the reforms being considered in zoning is the use of AI, artificial intelligence. On the Kuby Team blog you can read about the dangers this brings every family. Where you live is controlled by a computer, not your personal choice.)

Here’s the ‘smoking gun’ about the American Planning Association: they are a key contributor to the UN Economic and Social Council’s High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development! (*Note: if you are reading this outside the US, you not only have seen meetings like I described, but you can now see where your zoning and governments are intersecting the SDGs under your nose.)

When you access the ‘key contributor’ link, scroll down and you’ll see that the SDG #4 (education is the FIRST listed in regards to the APA’s support and devotion to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Be sure to note the others ones connected to education). APA also has articles you can read on their blog about zoning, 15 minute cities, 20 minute suburbs and more.

Bonus Resources for Your Research/Activism in Fighting the SDGs:

1) Here’s a link to the ICC, International Code Council (where it’s revealed that education is impacted not only by the buildings, but what’s taught inside those buildings when it concerns teaching future planners). While the ICC’s ‘international’ aspect doesn’t cover every single country outside the US, it also uses these same codes for every state of the US. ICC also holds the IZC (International Zoning Codes). This is only available in a purchased book form, however, I did find a link which describes the IZC as arranging compatible buildings and land uses; establishing provisions for use in the interest of social and economic welfare of the community. The ICC/IZC promote UNIFORMITY IN WHERE YOU LIVE and HOW YOU LIVE.

2) The UN’s SEZs (Special Economic Zones) from the World Investment Forum’s website (you’ll see lots of regionalism in adherence to the SDGs)

3) From the SDC (Sustainable Development Code): ‘Green Zones’ which are used by local governments to adhere to the SDGs.

4) “Upzoning” (the ability for local government to change existing codes for taller buildings/more buildings than historically allowed) in order to adhere your town to the SDGs.

5) From World Green Building Council, their promotion of dense cities with ‘green buildings’ for health. Almost every SDG is involved in either your inside living or what happens immediately outside the building or further out in the community. If you visit their website, be sure to read how Harvard University joins them in believing it is buildings which help shape our health.

Primary: Will Texans Vote to Clean Out Corrupt RINO’s in the Legislature?

By: Devvy

February 19, 2024

Texas is known as the “Don’t Mess with Me” state. Should be don’t mess with Texas’s big money political donors who make sure their lapdogs do what they’re told during our legislative sessions.

I was born and raised in California. A state now completely destroyed by the communists in their state legislature, a lunatic governor (Newsom) and forcing tens of millions of Californians who can’t afford to send their precious child(ren) to a private school to subject their children to dirt and filth in indoctrination centers they call public schools.

My late husband was a retired U.S. Army Colonel. Off I went from California to the once independent state of Colorado. Like California and its magnificent coastal waters and mountain forests, Colorado has some of the most spectacular scenery one can imagine. Sadly, that state (mostly the huge Denver metro area with its massive population) has also gone into the toilet run by liberals and progressives communists. Also embracing all the poison of the ‘woke’ lunatics, you won’t find me traveling through that state again; no gas, hotel or food expenditures.

Our legislature only meets every other odd year for 140 days. 2023 was a disaster with three special sessions and they still didn’t get the job done. An absurd 9,111 bills introduced in the last session. The failed multi-million-dollar political hit job – impeaching our fearless state Attorney General Ken Paxton – hobbled together by a drunk, our Speaker of the House Dade Phelan – to not passing important legislation and completely ignoring important issues. Behind the scenes, the rot and corruption here is just as bad as California, NY or Illinois. We’ve got RINO’s growing like weeds in our legislature.

Fortunately, we have really great grassroots organizations all over the state who keep track of bills and votes. Because the problem is still the same as 2006: Uninformed, Disinterested, Brainwashed & Special Interest Voters, May 29, 2006 (Mine)

Let me quote the prolific writer of The Great Communitarian Hoax, The Voices of America’s Destruction, Masters of Seduction and Time Bomb, Jeri Lynn Ball:

“Americans are being trained by slow degrees to give up their individuality, independence and autonomy (their unique personal traits, their desires and personal ambitions, their intellectual capacity to direct their own lives). Since individuality is the basic, indispensable property of every living human being, the degree to which he strives to wipe out his own individuality (become selfless) is the degree to which he experiences feelings of helplessness and instability. Individuals who unwittingly embrace the Soviet slave philosophy, i.e. community values (or the Communist morality), including altruism (selflessness) and collectivism (loss of the individual in the collective mass), proceed to disintegrate both mentally and physically.

“They may manifest an array of symptoms ranging from anxiety and chronic depression to despair and suicidal feelings to alcoholism and drug abuse. A growing number of Americans now suffer from eating disorders, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorders and schizophrenia.

“Soviet and American leaders have been achieving the ideological and psychological convergence of the United States and Communist Russia. America is becoming a replica of Russia: sick, brutal, deviant, vulgar and violent, yet slavish and submissive toward governmental authority. Virtually every major problem facing America today is the result of the Communists’ war against the mind and their attack on this country’s founding principles.

“Using the mixture of political indoctrination and the specter of ruthless mass terror, communitarian and mind-subverters have been overwhelmingly successful in their attempt to make selflessness a mass phenomenon and to produce profound feelings of instability, helplessness and worthlessness in many Americans.”

“The communitarian doctrine is a major component in destroying the minds of the American people. This evil concept is being pushed on major college campuses throughout this country. Is it any wonder that America’s young adults in the age range of 20-40 are promoting communism (liberalism, democracy) while they have no understanding of this beast?”

Special interest voters gave us this: Pelosi & Her Brassiere Brigade, Jan. 8, 2007 (Mine) – “The swearing in of Nancy Pelosi was covered ad nauseum on all networks January 4, 2007. Her coronation as Speaker of the House was hailed as historic! A step for equality! The term equality meaning female instead of one’s complete knowledge of the history of this republic and founding documents. Her Highness has made the promise of bi-partisanship; hold on to your wallet and don’t enlist in any branch of the military any time soon.

“Make no mistake about it: Pelosi’s crowning will be one of the darkest days for freedom and liberty in this country and another gigantic step towards communism, fascism and further weaning the American people into total dependency on mother government.

“This last pretend election cycle, voters heard the same old recycled mantra from female incumbents and candidates. The Sisterhood of Sycophants relentless carping on “women’s issues” in furtherance of “empowering women,” “for the children,” and “building the community” (pure communism). What absolute bilge.

“The feminization of Congress has been destroying constitutional government for decades, running America into oceans of unpayable debt and breeding generations of helpless women, whining for mother government to take care of them and their every need.” It’s now called the “women’s vote”.

Our legislature has really good reps and senators but we also have way too many RINO’s. My state rep, Do Nothing Drew Darby has been warming a seat in Austin since 2007. He only continues to win because of the voting bloc in San Angelo, TX and has the right friends with money. Of course, Darby voted to impeach Ken Paxton. I pray voters in his district vote his arse out in our March 5^th primary. His opponent, Stormy Bradley, is a great challenger and she gets my vote.

Our U.S. House rep, Jodie Arrington also must go; House District 19. Jodie who just loves seniors but has consistently refused to co-sponsor or support Thomas Massie’s bill to stop double taxing social security. (Massie is a Republican from KY.) Arrington supports screwing seniors (whatever political party) by double taxing their social security. That bill has been reintroduced by Massie every two years, session after session and still Congress refuses to get it passed. Arrington serves the big money interests in our district. Our city, Big Spring, doesn’t even exist in his world. He brags constantly about how much he does for our farmers and ranchers which is more BS. Yeah, the big ones with lots of moola.

No one around here paying attention wants Arrington back in Congress. Democrats aren’t even running a challenger for that race but there is one (out of three) GOP challenger we are praying beats Arrington March 5^th: Vance W. Boyd who gets my vote. I spoke with him at length at our last GOP meeting. And, yes, one of his commercials focuses on the fact Arrington wants seniors to keep getting screwed by double taxing their social security benefits.

Ted Cruz is running for his third term even though he’s a liar and a cheat. No question Cruz is intelligent but that does not excuse what he did in 2013. Big hay was made in 2013 when Ted Cruz announced he was giving up his dual citizenship with Canada so he could run for the U.S. Senate. Ted Cruz was born in Dec. 1970 in Canada. Only problem was, Canada did NOT recognize dual citizenship until years later: Citizenship Act [February 15, 1977] “The Citizenship Act, effective February 15, 1977, replaced the 1947 Act with a more equitable statute. For example, British subjects no longer received special treatment and dual citizenship became recognized.” At the time their chief immigration and citizenship director publicly stated Cruz is a Canadian citizen, period. Ignored by the GOP here in Texas.

A full and detailed analysis can be found here and here. Since Cruz gave up his Canadian (not American) citizenship, he is a citizen of what country? And just as the GOP did to cover constitutionally ineligible Hussein Obama for fear of being called a racist, they also covered for Cruz.

The same rotten incumbents with big money supporting them continue to win primaries and then on to the election in Nov. Hold your nose and vote or a Democrat will win! That’s exactly how the game within a game is played and the people getting played are you and me. Of course, we must also take into account who counts the votes and how they’re counted because that’s how Trump was cheated out of a second term. Despite all the bellowing from the MSM (Main Scream Media) conspiracy theorists, Trump legally won the 2020 election.

A few states are done with their primary and caucus but South Carolina is coming up and then “super Tuesday”. How many voters have actually looked at their incumbents voting record? I know, all of this takes time but Americans continue to vote back in the same crooks, liars and thieves destroying their lives because they don’t do any research. They watch a boob tube commercial about how great the incumbent is and hit the button. Texas has 38 U.S. House incumbents all up for reelection. I only recognize three names but it’s all I can do to keep up with what my state rep and senator (Kevin Sparks who should be reelected) and what the Outlaw Congress is up to.

Three judges on the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals (all Republicans) need to be defeated and I mean soundly defeated but most voters know nothing about them and will just hit the button for incumbent. Texans: Primary out Michelle Slaughter, Sharon Keller and Barbara Hervey.

Our March 5^th primary also has propositions on it that are very important. How about your state ballot? We’re fortunate to have an excellent resource: Texas Scorecard. Very important propositions for us in this primary.

Border Security
“Texas should create a Border Protection Unit, and deploy additional state law enforcement and military forces, to seal the border, to use physical force to prevent illegal entry and trafficking, and to deport illegal aliens to Mexico or to their nations of origin.”

Our governor, Greg Abbott, should have used the power and authority given to him by statute here in Texas to call up the State Militia (which is NOT the National Guard) to “repel an invasion” the day impostor president Biden was sworn into office. No, instead he seems to want to keep relying other states to send their National Guard. I’m done writing him on that issue.

Gold and Silver
“The Texas Legislature should establish authority within the Texas State Comptroller’s office to administer access to gold and silver through the Texas Bullion Depository for use as legal tender.” Definitely a yes on that one. Here’s the whole list, some of which I’ve covered column by column in the past which our legislature has done nothing but kick the can down the road.

Our county library puts out a ballot newspaper by the League of Women Voters who promote democracy which our Founding Fathers hated as a form of government. This is an excellent analysis of the difference between a democracy and a republic which is our legal form of government: Democracy or Republic, Which is It?

Grassroots America We the People is an outstanding organization here in Texas.

Right now they’re warning Texans: WARNING! “There is an active effort among ANTI-CONSERVATIVE groups (from the Left and the Right) to mobilize Democrats to vote in the Republican Primary! Their only mission is to defeat conservative candidates. For the March 5 Primary, we MUST turn out record numbers of Republicans who normally wait to vote in November against Democrats.

“Your job is to call every person you know who is fixated on turning out in November “to keep Texas Red” and tell them that if we are to save Texas, we need the MOST conservative candidate winning on March 5th! Tell them the Democrats are going to pollute the Republican Primary and we need Republicans to step up and vote!

“We need more conservatives voting in the March 2024 Primary if we are going to have the strongest closed border, limited gov’t, pro-family, pro-decency, anti-DC, anti-WOKE CONSERVATIVES on the ballot in November.”

Want to know more about the incumbent Texas House Republicans these candidates are challenging? Click here. When you do, you’ll go to their site and see all the hard work they’ve done, i.e.:

“There, you’ll see the Quick Summary, which tells you how they voted on impeachment of our Republican Attorney General. It shows you how much money they took from their top five donors in 2022. And it shows you more…

“For the 2022 election cycle, the average total amount given by the top five donors to a Texas House Republican was $267,625. But for Texas House Democrats, it was only $65,343 – which is four times less. Shouldn’t it be harder and more expensive in a red state like Texas to get Democrats elected than Republicans?

“We also show you how often they side with lobbying groups. Not all bills are bad; some agreement is understandable. But when a legislator says that they “stand up” to lobbyists yet agrees with those lobbyists 75% of the time or more, they’re not really standing up at all. When we look at over 80 lobbying groups, Republicans range from 39% agreement (Steve Toth) to nearly 86% agreement (Steve Allison). How does your legislator do?”

Good question. Vet the incumbents and candidates in your primary and spread the word to family and friends. If you have a CEO destroying your company/corporation (think Disney), do you keep hiring him/her or fire them? If a football coach has a season record two years in a row of say 11-1 or 12-2 losses, do you keep the guy on as head coach? So why continue hiring the same incumbents who have sold out YOU, your family, our state or if they’re in Congress?

I have been registered no party since 1996, but I belong to our county GOP Club. I pay my $15.00 a year dues. I keep everyone up to date on legislative issues, court cases. We have invited guest speakers. Grassroots are critical – just ask Democrats. Besides serious business, you meet new people, maybe make new friends and maybe become a state delegate to your GOP convention. Even if someone has mobility problems, there’s always a member who can drop by, pick up that person for the meeting and then take them home. Never leave a patriot behind.

Of the People, by the People, for the People and we must never forget that. Our destiny lies in our hands. Our children, grandchildren and future generations depend on US. Our fight is noble and we are going to win back our republic but it’s going to take informed voters showing up to vote and if there’s a problem with the count, the candidate files the paperwork to stop certification of the vote until a forensic analysis can be done. There is a massive effort to return to paper ballots hand counted in front of the public but we’re not there yet.

Fl. Gov. Ron DeSantis doesn’t want clean elections in Florida and despite all the drooling Sean Hannity does about how great Florida handles their elections, he either is ignorant of the massive problem there or keeps his mouth shut on purpose. From the great Kat Stansell who lives there and has been in the trenches a long time:

Florida, You Have A Big Problem, Feb. 17, 2024 – “We aleady know that massive irregularities in voter rolls have been proven and, thanks to ordinary citizens, are being rectified. A number of the Supervisors of Elections were not happy about this.

“Since seeking the truth is only against the law in totalitarian societies, Floridians have a problem. It seems like the bright red veneer of that once “good red state” is peeling away, and what’s underneath is looking less like America and more like a totalitarian society.”

Why Tolerate Probable Election Fraud? – VERY important read by Kat. Do read it.

On May 15, 2008, I stood at the homestead of Nathan Hale outside of Mansfield, Connecticut. It was an emotional visit. Young Master Hale said as the British were about to hang him: “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.” He was 21 years old. The men who fought on the battlefield in the Revolutionary War – dead of winter, snow on the ground, some had shoes, some wore rags because they had no shoes. Food was what they could kill along the way or eggs given by patriots in the cover of night so they wouldn’t be hanged by the British.

They sure as hell weren’t making excuses not to fight for our new country nor were they “too busy”. The freedoms and liberties you and I and our children and grandchildren enjoy cost rivers of blood running on the battlefield. Young kids like Nathan Nale. Are we any less in courage? Freedom comes at a high price and requires eternal vigilance and attention.

As I’ve written before, there are really hard-working grassroots organizations in every state of the Union. It’s not difficult to find them. Either search on line or contact your local GOP County chairman/woman. Please do get out and vote in the primaries and throw out the rotten and corrupt or vote in Nov. holding your nose and a R.I.P. sign for America.

We MUST Stop Illegal Aliens from Voting

WATCH: DeSantis Says January 6 Defendants ‘Didn’t Display Patriotism’ by Protesting 2020 Election, Jan. 5, 2024. Shame on him. While some did break windows and other minor what would normally be misdemeanors, the J6 prisoners are spending YEARS in a federal pen: “Many did not even enter the building and were simply in town for the other permitted rallies scheduled that day.”

The whole thing was a set up. Recently two J6 prisoners were finally released after a judge viewed more of the hidden videos that have been released. Most Americans have NO idea just how bad the obscene treatment of J6 prisoners has been and how it’s destroyed families’ lives. Just like North Korea and that’s no exaggeration.

Give Me Your Poor, Illiterate, Criminals, Drug Cartels, Anti-Western Masses Yearning to Change America

By Frosty Wooldridge

February 19, 2024

“Demographic change is the key to the Democratic party’s political ambitions. In order to win and maintain power, Democrats plan to change the population of America. Mass immigration increases the power of the Democratic Party. Period. That’s the reason Democrats support it. It’s the only reason.” Tucker Carlson, journalist

According to Monica Showalter, American Thinker, “Immigration experts are raising the alarm about how the increasing flow of migrants illegally crossing into the U.S. may significantly impact states’ representation in the House of Representatives and Electoral College.” (Source: www.cairco.org)

When Biden reached the White House, he signed an executive order to require the U.S. Census Bureau to factor in all residents including non-citizens as part of the U.S. population. That’s why he has invited 10.6 million illegal aliens over our borders to capture significant Electoral College votes.

“Illegal immigration has all kinds of effects and among them is that it distorts the mechanics of democratic government,” said Mark Krikorian, the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, www.CIS.org, “Illegal alien invaders aren’t supposed to be here, so their inclusion in the census count for purposes is outrageous.”

If the minimum count of illegal aliens stands around 20 million to as high as 48 million from some sources, it means that a House seat represents 761,168 residents. That could equate to 22 House seats being dominated by Democrats.

Back in 1965, our country stood at 196 million Americans. We allowed 200,000 legal immigrants annually. After President Lyndon Baines Johnson signed the “1965 Immigration Reform Act”, that number turned into 1,000,000 annually. That’s why we hit 300 million in October 2006. We’re at 340 million in 2024, not counting in excess of 20 million to as high as 48 million illegals.

In other words, we see 50 million foreign born people now beginning to dominate our elections. Even the Muslims, who hate a free Constitutional Republic, are voting for Sharia Law in places like Detroit, Michigan. With Biden’s latest 10.6 million, plus another 1.8 million illegal alien “got-aways”, you’re seeing our country becoming everybody else’s country.

What does it mean for the future of America? If you do the math, it means any and all immigration “gallops us at high speed” toward a social, cultural and demographic cliff.

Tucker Carlson stated, “And then came Joe Biden. Joe Biden accelerated that sad trend beyond what anyone thought was possible. The foreign-born population is now growing by 132,000 people every month (to as high as 302,000 per month, in December 2023). That’s more than triple the average high under previous administrations. It’s double Barack Obama’s highest totals. According to AEI scholar Mark Perry, we can expect over 9 million new illegal aliens by the end of Joe Biden’s first term.

“Nothing like this has ever happened in this or any other country ever and it’s happening for one reason. It’s the product of a policy choice.”

Basically, it’s a policy to destroy our cohesion, our language, our culture, and our way of life.

It is NOT sustainable as to water, energy, resources, quality of life and certainly ensures that our population will outstrip the ability of our farmers to grow enough food to feed this American human mob that will exceed 400 to 440 million by mid-century.

Carlson reiterates what I’ve been saying for 30 years, “No society can metabolize this many new people and stay stable, especially not now in this specific moment, because two unprecedented waves of human migration, you have to add, let’s see, a collapsing economy, inflation, food shortages, skyrocketing housing prices, falling wages, the trauma of two and a half years of COVID, the manufactured racial strife you saw Joe Biden encouraging. You put all that together and you have the most volatile possible mix of social factors.

“So, into that you throw millions of brand-new people who have no connection to America whatsoever, people who broke our laws to get here, who don’t speak our language, who have no idea what the U.S. Constitution says and don’t care and what do you have when you put all of that together? You have a recipe for social collapse.”

Here is Carlson’s 17 minute video. Read it and scream as to what your kids face: Nothing Like This Has Never Happened Before— https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4R6TDCFr9UY&t=4s

We, the American people, who made this civilization successful, face becoming a non-factor in the continuing destruction of this society. The caveat stares into our faces: we’re being replaced. What happens when you import millions of third world poor, illiterate and dispossessed into any first world country?

Answer: ultimately, America will be driven down into the depths of illiteracy, welfare for millions, drug addiction beyond insanity, homelessness that cannot be solved, shoplifting that will cripple our economy, destroyed schools, racial conflict, breakdown of cities, and finally, so many problems that our multicultural society will be tearing itself to pieces.

What does that mean? As to welfare for millions, what happens when their numbers that do not contribute exceed the rest of us who do contribute? As to illiteracy, do you understand that people with very low IQ’s lack any “educational thrust or interest” toward personal intellectual betterment? They become our endemic poor. As to drug addiction, do you understand that millions who find themselves unable to function in this high speed society, simply turn to drugs…now at 100,000 drug overdoses annually?

As to $100 billion in shoplifting annually, what happens when their thefts exceed $500 billion or $1 trillion in annual shoplifting?

As to educational breakdown, what happens when millions grow up functionally illiterate? Answer: they cannot contribute, so they destroy the foundation of our society.

If this invasion continues, we average Americans don’t stand a chance to save our civilization. Joe Dementia Biden will be written into the history books as the “Father of the Destruction of America.”

His legacy is coming as surely as the dawn…and your children will be his victims.

Civil War in America?

By Steven Yates

February 19, 2024

Probably not, but the narrative wars have likely engendered a period of unrest and decline no matter what happens. There remains hope.

[Author’s note: a somewhat different version of this article is available on my Substack, Navigating the New Normal. The updates are due to this being a developing story.]

Last Thursday (Feb. 8), the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments on whether or not Donald Trump should remain on GOP ballots. The allegation, as everybody knows, is that on January 6, 2021, speaking to a throng of supporters from the Ellipse, he fomented an insurrection in the disqualifying sense of the 14^th Amendment, Section 3, of the Constitution.

The Court may have decided this case before this has time to go up. I’ve gone ahead with it anyway, because even if (as most of us expect) the Court reverses the Colorado and Maine decisions, we’re nowhere near out of the woods.

While the Supremes seemed more interested in such technical-legalistic matters as whether officer of the United States applies to the presidency, the real question going forward (see here and here) is whether what happened on January 6, 2021 constitutes an insurrection, since Trump told people to march to the Capitol “peacefully and patriotically….” He never suggested anyone go inside the Capitol (it was Ray Epps, possibly among others, who did that!).

This case is unprecedented. We’ve never seen a clash of narratives like this. Those on opposite sides literally do not see the world the same way. They aren’t making the same assumptions about what kind of political system we’re living under. Small wonder some are ready to divide the country — peacefully, if possible; forcibly if necessary. This is where the narrative wars have brought us.

We don’t agree on what really happened that day, six days into 2021. An insurrection, as I explained citing references, is an organized effort to violently overthrow a government. Few who came onto Capitol grounds that day were violent, although there were hotheads on the front lines who broke through barricades, pushed Capitol police to the ground, and broke windows. This was a very small minority of the allegedly 2,000 or so people who entered the Capitol peacefully, some doing no more than walking around for a few minutes and then leaving.

There was no organized effort to overthrow the U.S. government.

So what were they doing? Well over 10,000 people were protesting in Washington, D.C. that day. They had doubts that Joe Biden was elected legitimately. Every effort to pursue the matter through the courts had been rebuffed. Judges did not look at any evidence (e.g., affidavits alleging wrongdoing in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia). They said either, “there’s no evidence” or they used a legal ploy of “no standing to sue.” The Supreme Court refused to hear appeals.

It became as if the use of phrases like conspiracy theorist and election denialism were sufficient to quell the sense of something amiss.

To this day, tens of millions of Americans think Election 2020 was stolen, even if they don’t agree on the circumstances or how the steal was accomplished.

Their reasoning: a man, arguably showing signs of dementia and staying mostly out of public view, trouncing a man able to fill arenas during a pandemic by 7 million popular votes, makes no sense whatsoever.

They now fear that something similar could happen again, in 2024, and in broad daylight!

The Jan-6ers believed they were trying to save democracy. Today we should fear destruction of real democracy, which reflects the will of the people (even those you disagree with), by those gaslighting us with phrases like saving our democracy!

What will happen this November? I honestly don’t know. But there is no reason to think it’s going to be pretty, with an outcome accepted automatically by both sides.

What then?

Civil War? Or massive civil unrest?

I do not think anything that happens will rise to the level of civil war.

Civil wars happen when discourse over fundamental disputes between two factions, both having sufficient resources to exact their wills on the body politic, breaks down. Laws and policy decisions are then disregarded as both sides battle openly and violently for control over dominant institutions, especially mass media.

Is this what we’re looking at? Not quite.

One problem is with both sides having the resources to exact their wills. I do not think Trump’s side has those resources, no matter how much of his own money Trump still has to spend. With efforts underway to cripple him financially, it’s unclear how much he will have when the dirt settles.

The point of the 91 felony lawfare allegations as well as the civil suits has been to render him impotent, and imprisoned, if that’s what it takes to stop him.

To the extent that groups and organizations backing Trump’s side in the narrative wars have some resources and would be able to mount significant national-scale protests if Trump were refused a spot on national ballots, I am unsure how many have the will.

Look at what’s been done to over a thousand Jan-6ers. Most of these people will never get their lives back. Businesses have been destroyed; homes are gone. Some will be unable to find decent work. They have been demonized in corporate media as “Capitol rioters” and “insurrectionists.” This label may well follow them the rest of their lives.

Is this or is this not a major disincentive to mount mass protests, no matter the provocation?

Moreover, in large crowds many of whose members don’t know all others personally and with no way to vet them, infiltration by the FBI or leftist agent provocateurs is a separate risk. Fear of this happening was probably a factor in undermining the Take Our Border Back Convoy which convened at Eagle Pass, Texas, on Feb. 3: instead of 700,000 attendees, around 7,000 showed up, disappointing those who see securing the border with Mexico as a major issue this year.

A recent discussion with a number of legal scholars, political analysts, and national security experts did not feature a single person who predicts a civil war. Some do, however, predict the sort of scattered disruptions that signify civil unrest. I think we will see unrest whatever the Supreme Court decides, in this or in upcoming cases involving Trump.

What I can’t predict is how much, how long it will last, or what the long term repercussions will be.

Most observers think the Court will set Colorado and Maine aside, ensuring that their ruling applies to all 50 states. According to the 14^th Amendment only Congress can invoke the insurrection clause by passing a law, and this isn’t going to happen. This might invite protests from the other side, possibly worse than overturning of Roe v Wade did, because of how the Establishment has presented this situation to the public. Again: “democracy is on the ballot,” Biden has put it. “Democracy itself” is at stake, wax the hysterics (as if the U.S. is really a democracy, which it hasn’t been for a very long time — but never mind that now).

This is how narrative war works.

Assuming Trump is still on ballots as you read this, the globalist-leftist alliance will already be maneuvering full throttle to block a Trump 2.0 administration.

We might see cyberattacks or other false flags to be blamed on Trump supporters. We might even see The Great Taking (see below). Something as sudden as it would be drastic could happen any time between now and November.

I’m not making a prediction here. That would be hazardous. But the fear of Trump 2.0 is palpable.

Bottom line, though: no civil war.

Especially with an Establishment able to command technologies (use of smartphone records, facial recognition, generative AI, etc.) that would make previous tyrants gasp. Plus, I doubt that Homeland Security’s hollow-point bullets have gone anywhere. I’ve seen nothing to suggest that the militarized power centers in the Asylum on the Potomac, if militarized, couldn’t put down any direct domestic challenge to their power with relative ease.

This Is What Civilizational Decline Looks Like.

If we look at the larger sweep of human history, one thing becomes clear: even relatively free societies are very rare. Empires, tyrannies, dictatorships of various sorts, are the norm. In most places and at most times, those in power have done pretty much as they pleased. So is tribalism a norm, almost one of our default settings: “us” versus “them.”

Briefly, Periclean Athens moved towards freedom, but compromised it with slavery, allowed what freedom they had to weaken them in other ways (as Plato observed), the result being the loss of the war with authoritarian Sparta and long-term decline.

The Christian worldview began to create a societal ambience in which there were moral checks on human authority. The powerful couldn’t do as they pleased because they answered to God for their actions. Eventually this ended the idea of “the divine right of kings.” The Christian conviction was that this was a world of physical and moral order. On this foundation rose Western civilization, surely the greatest civilization in human history, via science, technique, property rights, markets, and limits on state power.

By the mid twentieth century we were starting to dismantle the tribal distinctions of the past, via Martin Luther King Jr.’s promotion of judging people “not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

Those obsessed with the need to control others, and as much of the world as possible, rebelled against the Christian worldview. They’d removed God from the world picture and had learned to use societal and technological systems others had created against them. The scientific-industrial-educational mainstream became de facto materialist. I say de facto because it is not as if many of their managerial disciples reflected on what they were doing. A few did.

The result has been a slow and painful slide backwards towards what the West had partly escaped: tribalism, naked grabs for power, re-enslavement by economic and technical means, and the obliteration of truth in favor of propaganda, gaslighting, and open and unabashed lying.

The Christian conviction of checks on secular power is gone. The sciences, which honestly sought order and explanation, are now The Science, a form of intellectual authoritarianism funded by corporations and government. Technique no longer solves problems for the whole of the body politic but designs algorithms to bring the masses into passivity and control, incentivizing the masses to ensnare themselves (think: nearly all social media).

Property rights no longer exist as such; all are subject to taxation, and even the conditional ownership implied by deeds-plus-property-taxes is being replaced by rent of various sorts, as home ownership becomes harder and harder to afford.

Markets are not free but controlled, because corporations employ hidden incentives or “nudges” of various sorts; the above-mentioned algorithms Big Tech has perfected “know” more about you than you know about yourself and have honed the science of getting you to consume.

Finally, to speak of morality in the halls of Congress is more likely to prompt gales of laughter than serious reflection on where the country is going.

Legal eagles invoke the Constitution which it serves their agendas, as with those using the 14^th Amendment to try to get Trump off ballots. Otherwise, it’s dead.

Is sending money to foreign government fighting wars halfway around the world authorized anywhere in the Constitution? Especially when our own southern border is so porous that thousands of people including possibly dangerous individuals can cross it illegally every month?

Language itself has been perverted. Democracy clearly no longer means government by and for We the People. It is code for one species of elite domination, in which the locus of power isn’t a single figure, such as a Xi or a Putin, but systemic and driven by money. Trump was only able to mount a serious candidacy back in 2015-16 because he could finance his own campaign. Had he lacked those resources, he wouldn’t have registered. Money isn’t everything, of course. It is necessary but not sufficient. If you could literally buy your way into the presidency, Ross Perot and Steve Forbes would have had viable shots back in their day.

Trump had (still has) a great deal of personal charisma, a solid ability to command mass media even if its owners hate his guts, and things to say that resonate with an increasingly disillusioned Republican audience.

He was an existential threat to those who think in terms of global power (globalists) and cultural dismemberment (the brand of hard-leftist that’s obsessed with transgenderism). This is the case even if he has no systematic philosophy of his own. He’s a disruptor by nature. Disruption works, especially when institutions are losing their sense of legitimacy. This loss of legitimacy is characteristic of long-term decline. Many of those behind Trump have no trouble dynamiting (figuratively speaking, of course) something that ceased to work for them long ago.

Trump 2.0 would be an even bigger existential threat to global power and leftist dismemberment because there’s no doubt he’s far more knowledgeable about how to work governing systems now than he was in 2017.

Hence the constant barrage of fear porn from every corporate media outlet, every major magazine, all the dominant political voices in unison.

I’ve no idea how likely a Trump 2.0 administration is. As I’ve said, globalist-leftist power and propaganda will do everything they can to keep it from happening.

What we can be sure of is that should Trump be reelected, it wouldn’t guarantee anything. Anyone who thinks this will quell globalist-financed leftist street protests, probably violent, even if Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, is kidding himself.

The next year, 2025, could turn out to be more volatile and violent than anything 2024 served up.

The next administration will face combined challenges: rising homelessness, the debt explosion, the southern border, fentanyl, continued demands by foreign leaders with an entitlement mindset like Zelenskyy, continuing unrest in the Middle East, the possibility of China encircling Taiwan, and more.

I have no trouble envisioning complete paralysis.

The U.S. rose empowered by the magnificent thoughts of the James Madisons and George Washingtons and Thomas Jeffersons of the day. There are no thinkers of that caliber anywhere to be found in our present-day political or moneyed classes. Nor is the view that directed hard work is what builds and sustains civilizations the prevailing one, and even if it were, today’s institutions are designed to reward political connections and politically correct ideology far more than hard work. The latter is a threat to those who have learned how to exploit and profit from the present system.

This is what civilizational decline looks like.

What Happens Next?

I don’t like making predictions. So, I just draw scenarios, and I’ve never had so many in all my pockets at one time. I’ve even heard serious suggestions that there might not even be an election this November.

What do we see? Two mighty forces on collision course!

Those tendencies conveniently labeled “populism”: ordinary people rising up against powerful elites everywhere: in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., France, The Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Israel, and elsewhere. In a few countries (India, Hungary, Italy), counter-elites have won public office. Counter-elite Jair Bolsonaro was in control in Brazil but tossed by corrupt leftists who are trying to imprison him. A counter-elite named José Antonio Kast, a conservative, could become president of Chile if he decides to run in Chile’s next election (2026). Chile’s presently-dominant leftists are also struggling with inflation and dysfunction.

You know the counter-elites and their supporters because globalist-controlled corporate media demonizes them as extremists, conspiracists, white supremacists, protofascists, spreaders of misinformation, etc., etc.

Globalists (WEF/Davos, the UN/WHO axis, big foundations / funding networks such as Soros’s and Gates’s, others) doubtless fear the unraveling of everything they’ve spent lifetimes working towards. If they lose, they could end up hanging from lampposts! They damned well know it!

It is important not to underestimate what these psychopaths might be capable of! Some do that. (Example here.)

I’m thinking again of The Great Taking. Download the book for free here; David Rogers Webb discusses the book at length here; read my commentary here; lengthy interview with Webb here; another very worthwhile discussion here. We’re hearing warnings of possible cyberattacks, conceivably at the hands of some of those who entered the U.S. illegally which include Chinese nationals as well as Hezbollah sleeper cells awaiting activization on command from the disrupted Middle East.

A single, well-planned and well-placed cyberattack could cripple American infrastructure, take down part or all of the Internet for a time, and bring the global financial system to its knees.

Forget bitcoins and other crypto. Your wallets will be useless pieces of paper.

CBDCs would be introduced as the “fix.” If covid-19 was the biggest power grab we’d ever seen, CBDCs would quickly surpass that.

You’d be allowed back on a vastly more controlled Internet with government-issued ID (e.g., a passport). No more anonymity.

CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) would then be downloadable via an app in your phone and could be programmed to work only during a specific time duration (to ensure that you consume), to purchase certain goods or services but not others (to ensure that you consume what those in power want you to consume), and to function only within a given radius (in case the programmers have been told by their masters to restrict peasant movement, as in the “sustainable cities” WEF globalists envision).

Cash would, of course, disappear as a casualty of the financial calamity. Cash can’t be tracked or traced or monitored.

Few would be in a position to resist — presumably mass starvation is not an option! Those stuck in big cities would find themselves in a dystopia that would make present-day China look like a paradise by comparison.

Dissent? Your CBDC would be turned off, so that you can’t buy food.

Hope.

There remains hope, of course, and it is important not to lose sight of this.

We also learn from history that events move in long cycles. Civilizations rise, then they decline and fall. Most fall from within. Discussions of how cycles work are readily available (start here). There are conditions on a society’s existence, and if those conditions cease, it finds itself living on borrowed time.

Economies based exclusively on debt eventually collapse. The track record is 100 percent.

“Prophets” try to point this out and draw attention to the problems. Initially they are dismissed as “doomers-gloomers” and denounced in controlled media. The masses are either too insouciant to listen or just too busy trying to survive.

But “prophets” always find a following that has figured out the truth. Some refer to this following as a remnant (Isaiah 1:9). This remnant will build up a new society, restoring values and practices that work.

We are clearly in a decline phase. Our “prophets” are increasingly listened to. There are remnant communities already out there, organizing a “parallel economy” mostly outside the grid. Others are in the planning stages.

Such groups, like the Amish, would be far less affected by a Great Taking.

The future, I submit, lies with those who can take charge of their own educations and lives, learn to sustain themselves growing their own food so that they don’t need CBDCs or even cash for purchases, developing barter systems where necessary.

They will be closer to the natural order and therefore closer to God, the Creator and Author of nature and therefore of real sustainability before globalists hijacked that term and used it for their own insidious purposes.

One thing is for sure: building communities outside the power systems and sustaining them while riding out whatever occurs will take resilience. How many of us are working on that?

What Will History Record of this Generation of Lukewarm Christians?

By Reverend Glynn Adams

February 18, 2024

Each generation is labeled according to what they allowed to happen in their culture and how they dealt with that culture. Each generation has to make a choice. They must realize that freedom can be lost and history shows it is very difficult to get back!!! The nation of Germany is remembered in history for causing two world wars. France is remembered for the bloodiest revolution in history. In America, the civil war is remembered as a bloody war with Americans fighting against Americans. The generations in America that are remembered for their sacrifice and bravery are those during World War I and II.

What will history record about our generation as we have sat by and allowed evil to capture our nation. Will we be remembered for our sexual revolution, that government is our provider and not God, that a man can have a baby, that some boys are girls and some girls are boys, that marriage is not only between a man and a woman but could be between two men and two women, or perhaps this generation will be remembered as allowing the Communists/Marxists/Socialists/Globalists to take away our freedoms and banish Christianity from the public square in America? Surely the question will be asked of this generation in America, “Where were the Pastors and Christians in all this?”

America is not the first nation to have lost their bearings and forsaken God. We are not the first generation that has practiced religion and a form of godliness, failed to resist the evil before us, and failed to provide a moral compass to men and women in the sexual revolution, transgender revolution, marriage revolution, destruction of the family structure revolution and homosexual revolution.

It should be noted that our generation has had more light, more revelations from God, and more churches that any generation in history. Pastors and Christians in America will have a lot to answer for when we stand before the LORD Jesus Christ to give an answer to what we did with what we were given!!!

But praise God, our God is a God of restoration. We can repent, change our wicked ways and return to Him and God will restore us. We can recover from our blatant disobedience of the Word of God but only if we commit from the heart to follow Him and His Ways. Our walk and our fruit will tell if we changed our ways in our heart!!! Our actions will determine what God will do.

In Romans 1:18-23, Paul is not writing to the pagans in Rome but Christians who are in Rome and neither is he specifically addressing homosexuality. “For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks; but they became futile in their speculations and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man.” Will that verse in Romans be this generation of Christian’s epitaph in history?

The Christians in America have allowed so much to be taken away from us by Satan. We have refused to resist the evil overtaking our nation and we have provided no moral compass for the many confused people in our nation. We have not extended the Kingdom of God and made disciples in America or the nations. There is always hope with God but that hope is being lost because Christians in this nation will not commit to the LORDSHIP of the LORD Jesus Christ.

Christians in this nation have been lied to for years by pastors that attending church confirms our faithfulness and obedience to God. We can neglect the Word of God, make no commitment, be disobedient, have no change in our lives with no fruit but bless God if we attend church, we are told by our pastors we will go to heaven. That is the lie of the ages; that is not what the Bible says, and American denominations and our mega-churches have bought into it, hook, line and sinker.

Following Christ is all about obedience, submission, commitment, faithfulness, and allegiance and Jesus spoke this to us throughout His Word. Matthew 7:24-27 is just one example. He said if you hear the Word and act upon it, you build your house on the rock and when the storms of life come, your house will stand. But if you hear the Word and do not act upon it, you build your house on the sand and when the storms come, your house will fall. HATH GOD REALLY SAID?!!!

If history were written of this generation of Christians in America today, history would not be kind to us but rather cruel. We must repent of our wicked ways and change our religious ways to His Way. Our attitude about obedience to the Word and the LORD Jesus is serious business and our obedience is appalling!! American Christians think they have the option they can obey God when they feel like it. That is a path straight to hell!!! Democrats have lies but so does the American Church Religious System!!!

One day Jesus pronounced a railing judgment against Capernaum!! Jesus did many miracles in Capernaum and it was in Capernaum where He gave much of His revelation to the people. But they would only recognize Jesus as the Son of Man, as Mary’s boy and a carpenter rather than acknowledging Him as the Son of God. So, Jesus pronounced a railing judgment on the people of Capernaum and told them Sodom would fare better at the judgment than they.

If we in America don’t repent of our wicked ways, forsake our sectarian divisions, come together under the banner of Jesus Christ, organize, and get our spiritual act together to obey God by resisting this evil and demonic strongholds overtaking our nation then based on the criteria Jesus used against Capernaum, Sodom will fare better at the judgment than once righteous America!!!

In America, we have received everything God has to offer – more freedom, the land of plenty, more revelation, more blessings, more wealth and we show no respect or gratitude to the LORD Jesus Christ. Obedience to our LORD and King proves our respect and gratitude for our LORD of Lord and KING of Kings and the American Christian has been found wanting. Jesus said of the generation He was born into was wicked and proof abounds that because of our disobedience, our lack of respect, and our ingratitude to the wonderful things God has given to us, this generation of Christians in America is wicked also.

At this hour God is calling all Christians to repent, return to Him and to stand in all areas of life for the principles of Christianity in our nation and if we refuse, Biblical history shows that nations that disobey God, disrespect God, and are ungrateful for their blessings of God will have a rude awakening coming. To him who has been given much, much the more is required.

We show no respect for the freedoms given to us by God because at this very hour, Christians have allowed man to take our freedoms away, the Word of God has been banished from our culture, we present no moral compass to our nation, and we refuse to resist evil, while evil has invaded our land. We stand by and do nothing while evil men have demonized Christians as extremists, racists, and bigots for holding on to beliefs Americans have held for generations. How much longer will we disrespect what God has given us?

And we do nothing but take it and tolerate it day after day and year after year and we refuse to stand against this evil as the Word of God commands. We ignore and disobey the instructions given to us in the Word of God in 2 Corinthians 10:3-:5, “For though we walk in the flesh we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.”

We have no fear of God in America among those who name the Name of Christ. We ignore and pay no attention to what the LORD Jesus said to us in the Scriptures: In Luke 10, Jesus is sending out seventy of His disciples. He gave them power over Satan and demons. They came back rejoicing over “the demons are subject to us.” Can we just receive that we as disciples in America have that same power over Satan and his demons? God will not hold us guiltless if we fail to resist the evil overtaking our nation.

I ask you Christian America – how much longer do you think God will allow us to thumb our noses at Him? How much longer will He let us refuse to blush at the most violent sins this nation has ever seen? How much longer will He put up with all the wickedness in America before He says, “Enough!”

Right now our nation is like the nation of Israel as described by Jeremiah: “….their houses (are) full of deceit; therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. They are waxen fat, they shine…Shall I not visit for these things? Saith the Lord; shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?” (Jeremiah 5:27-29) God Himself is saying, “How can I not bring judgment upon such flaunted sin and compromise?”

You might be tempted to say, “It’s plain to see why God sent His judgment on Israel but America is different!” You may think, “God has to spare us. After all, He’s called us to evangelize the world.” But most of our American church’s mission programs are dying. God told us in His Word to bring heaven to earth by “doing the will of God on earth as it is done in heaven.” He said for us to have dominion, and to make disciples. He gave us the power to do all this but since the 80’s, the Marxists have changed our nation from a Christian World View to a Marxists Socialist World View.

They did this by making more disciples of Marxism than we have of Jesus Christ. We allowed them to change our thinking in this nation to accept the gross sins of this world system. We are a captured nation, we are ruled by Satan and not by God, and we have become a dwelling place for demons and the gods of Babylon and Egypt are now bringing their high places into America and shoving gross sin in our face from every place in America.

We better get some fear of God in us and in a hurry and get our spiritual act together and quickly praying that God does not come to America on some terrible night as a Thief in the Night!!!!! Look at what this generation of Christians in America has done with what God has given us? We in America have no choices left for we know what God’s pattern of judgment is on blatant disobedience!!! We either repent, forsake our religious ways, and turn to the Ways of Jesus Christ very quickly now or we will face more of the terrible judgments of God!!! I give you this warning because I love you and I want to see this nation have victory over Satan and save this nation and the other nations from the tyranny, bondage, and destruction in order that our LORD will be glorified!!! God bless, I remain His warrior and watchman, Glynn Adams

Putin Entertains Tucker in Russia

By Cliff Kincaid

February 18, 2024

[DISCLAIMER: The opinion in this article is the sole opinion of the author and is not necessarily the opinion of NewsWithViews.com, it’s employees, representatives, or other contributing writers.]

Professor Renato Cristin (University of Trieste, Italy) and I are among the signatories of the Appeal for Nuremberg Trials for Communism. We agree that Vladimir Putin should be put on trial for communist crimes against humanity. We also agree, as he puts it, that “The Carlson-Putin skit is a political and cultural indecency, which should be classified as vaudeville.”

With his softball interview of the Russian dictator, Tucker Carlson has made himself into a laughing stock, a pathetic figure that seems to be angling for status in the Walter Duranty school of journalism.

It is significant that Tucker also showed up at a Russian grocery store, holding a loaf of bread, since Duranty is the New York Times journalist who claimed that the Stalin-induced Great Famine in Ukraine which killed seven to ten million never occurred.

We can laugh at Tucker’s antics but he continues to be a favorite of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which is meeting at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in Maryland, outside of D.C., from February 21st – February 24^th. I attended and spoke at the CPAC conferences, especially when Ronald Reagan was president and was featured.

These days, I cover the CPAC conferences in order to understand where “conservatism” has gone wrong.

To understand this dangerous trend, I return to Professor Cristin’s critique of Tucker’s Putin interview. The Carlson-Putin show, he argues, was “a perfect psyop, a disinformation and psychological distortion operation, in the style of the old KGB and international communism.”

In 2014, we detected the start of the Russian infiltration of the conservative movement, as various conservative and “pro-family” leaders joined a Russian operative at a National Press Club conference in Washington, D.C. to proclaim Vladimir Putin the Christian savior of the world. Eventually, we published a major report on “Russian Influence in the Conservative Movement.”

Putin so liked the Tucker interview that he posted it in English on his own web site, but he later complained about the lack of tough questions, saying Tucker “chose a different tactic.”

That “tactic” was playing the role of a modern-day Walter Duranty, who started his career, according to S.J. Taylor’s book, Stalin’s Apologist, by participating with Satanist Aleister Crowley in drug-taking homosexual Satanic orgies.

As Tucker looks like a complete fool, by playing into Putin’s hands, we must wonder how this one-time “conservative” journalist turned out this way. He is a symbol of a much bigger problem.

Before he was fired by Fox, he had entered the Twilight Zone of New Age theories and beliefs, even doing shows about “cattle mutilations” and cows being sucked into flying saucers.

Whatever the explanation for his bizarre turn, his coverage of Russia has failed to convey to his audience that Putin is a former Soviet KGB colonel and that his regime is based on the remnants of the old Soviet Union, including its military and intelligence establishment.

At one time, I thought Tucker was the new voice of the forgotten American, noting that he was urging Republicans to return to the themes that got Trump elected. His 2018 book, Ship of Fools, was about how the failures of the political establishment led to the election of Trump.

But when he was on Fox, he became a mouthpiece for Glenn Greenwald, a former gay porn lawyer and libertarian who had attended various socialist conferences and then became a mouthpiece for former NSA/CIA operative Edward Snowden.

Snowden defected through Chinese Hong Kong before escaping to Russia, where he became a Russian citizen.

Perhaps Snowden has room at home for Tucker.

It was almost a year ago that I wrote about Tucker’s pro-Russian tendencies, noting he went over the edge with his promotion of a communist rally against Ukraine in Washington, D.C. that featured another person. Tara Reade, who has since fled to Russia. At the time, he had openly complained about alleged NSA surveillance of his personal communications. We now know he was using Russian contacts to arrange his recent Putin interview.

Tucker has become an unofficial foreign agent for Russia and is not ashamed of doing Putin’s bidding, even while the Russian dictator was apparently planning the murder of one of his chief critics, Alexei Navalny.

But Biden’s anti-Putin posturing is just as offensive.

On Friday, Biden exploited the murder of Navalny to attack President Trump and Republicans in Congress for the failure of his own “strategy.” He said Trump had encouraged a Russian invasion of NATO when the Russian invasions of Ukraine occurred first under President Barack Hussein Obama and then under President Biden.

Going further back in time, it was President Bill Clinton who arranged the Budapest Memorandum with Russia, disarming Ukraine of its nuclear weapons and leaving it open to the subsequent Russian invasions. Trump bears no blame for any of this.

Putin prefers Biden as president over Trump and it’s easy to see why.

Calling Things As They Are

by Rolaant McKenzie

February 18, 2024

Harriet Elisabeth Beecher (June 14, 1811 – July 1, 1896) was born in Litchfield, Connecticut, the sixth of 11 children of a Presbyterian minister and a mother whose grandfather was General Andrew Ward, who served under General George Washington in the Revolutionary War. Unusual for women at the time, she received a traditional academic education from the Hartford Female Seminary, focusing on classical antiquity studies, languages, and mathematics.

In 1832, Beecher moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, to join her father, who had become the president of Lane Theological Seminary. It was here that she met Calvin Ellis Stowe, who was a professor of Biblical Literature at the seminary. The two married on January 6, 1836.

Living near the Ohio River across from Kentucky, a state where slavery was legal, Beecher, now Stowe, was exposed to the nature of slavery and its negative ramifications on Black Americans and the rest of society.

Stowe’s faith in Jesus Christ, her increasing understanding of the evils of slavery from the testimony of escaped slaves, and the compelling arguments of abolitionist apologists strongly influenced her to become a passionate abolitionist and supporter of the Underground Railroad, which helped many fugitives from slavery escape to freedom in Canada.

She was the author of more than 30 books covering a wide range of interests, including textbooks for children, books providing advice for homemaking, raising children, biographies, and religious studies. Though capable of writing scholarly works, Stowe chose to write in an informal way to reach common, everyday people and encourage them to address controversial moral issues of the day. Her mathematical training helped her see things in a logical fashion and describe them as they are in truth. Stowe believed God’s purpose for her life was to write and that her words and the actions coming from them could make a positive difference in the world and be an extension of God’s grace.

Harriet Beecher Stowe

Her best-known work was Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852), a novel depicting the horrible realities of slavery through the central character Uncle Tom, a Black slave who endured great suffering ending in a terrible death but refused to abandon his faith in Christ, do violence to other slaves, or betray those who escaped. Uncle Tom showed that Christian love, forgiveness, and redemption could overcome slavery.

Uncle Tom’s Cabin portrayed the ugly truth of slavery instead of softening or hiding it behind euphemisms such as “southern paternalism” or “peculiar institution.” It became a bestseller and helped to change attitudes, especially in the northern states, toward Black Americans and slavery. While some historians believe that this book helped pave the way for the Civil War, it certainly strengthened the abolitionist cause, which assisted in ending chattel slavery in America.

Not mincing words when addressing moral issues of the day helped to end a great sin in the society in which Stowe lived. This kind of forthrightness is being used by some in efforts to end another great evil in society today.

Terrisa Bukovinac is the founder and former executive director of Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU), an organization involved with peacefully protesting abortion facilities, compassionately reaching out to the women going to them, educating the public about the exploitative influence of the abortion industry, and connecting abortion-vulnerable women with life-saving resources.

In a 2022 interview with Fox News Digital, Bukovinac said, “Abortion is murder, and we need to act like it.” Recalling a protest at an abortion facility in Alexandria, Virginia, she stated that the focus of her work was to see abortion come to an end nationwide. Though she and some of her colleagues were arrested, their efforts led to five women not going through with an abortion, thus saving the lives of five babies.

Knowing that federal political campaign advertisements could not be censored, Bukovinac decided to run for president as a Democrat in 2024 to expose the reality of abortion, show its victims, and give them a voice. Her commercials showed graphic images of aborted babies with the purpose of moving the American people to end this evil practice.

Though a self-professed atheist holding to a Marxist political philosophy, Bukovinac at least recognized the humanity of children in the womb and wanted to do everything she could to be an advocate for those unable to speak for themselves, going beyond what many pro-life conservative organizations and politicians have done. She rejected euphemisms such as “pro-choice,” “health care,” or “reproductive rights” to show the horrible reality of abortion, the gruesome ending of a human life at its weakest and most vulnerable stage.

“Pikuach Nefesh” is Hebrew for “save a life.” It is also the name of one of the ministries of Congregation Shema Yisrael, a Messianic Jewish congregation in southeast Michigan. Its purpose is to deter abortion and proclaim the goodness of life and the evil of abortion. Because of their faith in Jesus Christ and the truth that human beings are made in the image of God and therefore precious, participants in this ministry show up on the sidewalk at a local abortion facility every month to share the gospel message and pray for the mothers, fathers, babies, and workers in the facility.

Like Stowe and Bukovinac, Pikuach Nefesh does not proclaim its message with euphemisms but with unvarnished truth. They display messages exhorting mothers to let their precious babies live and saying that there are free life-saving resources available to them. They also show graphic images of the aftermath of babies killed through abortion to show the horrific reality and give mothers going inside the facility pause to consider what they are about to do to their child. On one occasion, their efforts led to six women choosing life for their babies.

Reforming societal wrongs requires calling things as they are rather than sugarcoating the painful truth. This is especially true when it comes to recognizing the reality of one’s position before God, whom even self-professed atheists know exists (Romans 1:18-32).

While working to set captives free, saving the lives of children in the womb, and doing other good works are commendable, they are not good enough because all of us have sinned and fallen short of God’s perfect righteous standards (Romans 3:19-26; James 2:10).

But God has provided salvation from the eternal consequences of our sins through His Son Jesus Christ, who lived the perfect life we could not, died the death we deserved, was buried, and rose again from the dead on the third day.

Repent and put your full faith in Jesus Christ alone, for He is your only hope of being in good standing before God, whom we all will meet someday (Hebrews 9:27-28).

U.S. Constitution, Amendment XXIV

Trump, Insurrection, and Disqualification

By Edwin Vieira, JD

February 17, 2024

One is easily overwhelmed by the fatuity and even imbecility of the politically motivated drivel which has inundated, and continues to flood, the Internet concerning Mr. Trump’s supposed disqualification for the office of President of the United States under the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States because of his alleged participation in the so-called “January Sixth Insurrection”. One wonders whether any of the self-satisfied gurus, talking-heads, and other pundits breathlessly pontificating on this subject have ever actually read, let alone carefully studied, the entire Constitution of the United States, or pondered how it must be construed and applied according to the tenets of constitutional interpretation with respect to this matter in particular. For, when all of that effort is expended, it becomes beyond dispute that, even if the “January Sixth Insurrection” were an “insurrection” (an extremely doubtful assumption at best), at this point in time Mr. Trump could not possibly, let alone even arguably, be disqualified for the office of President. And, one may confidently predict, the Supreme Court will soon so hold. Actually, the explanation for that expectation is easy to understand.

In pertinent part, the relevant portions of the Fourteenth Amendment read as follows:

“Section 3. No person shall * * * hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, * * * who, having previously taken an oath * * * as an officer of the United States * * * to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection * * * against the same * * * . But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”

“Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.”

I. First, in fairness to Mr. Trump’s opponents, it would be well to dispose of some really ridiculous contentions which a few of his more deluded supporters have advanced: namely, (i) that a President is not “an officer of the United States”; and (ii) that as President Mr. Trump never took “an oath as an officer” — so that even if he had actually “engaged in insurrection” during his first term in the Presidency he could not be disqualified from seeking election to, and serving in, a second term.

1. The Constitution — each of the provisions of which must be construed consistently in light of and in consonance with all of the others — itself eliminates any possible doubt that the Presidency is an “office” and the President is “an officer of the United States”:

a. Compare Article I, Section 7, Clause 3 (“Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States”) with Article II, Section 4 (“The President * * * of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment”).

b. Consider Article II, Section 1, Clause 1 (“The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years”).

c. Consider Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 (“No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years”).

d. Consider Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 (“In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of said Office, the Same shall devolve in the Vice President”). And

e. Consider Article II, Section 1, Clause 7 (“Before he enter into the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: — ‘I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States”).

When the Constitution, including all of the foregoing provisions, was ratified in 1788, “office” meant “a public employment”, and “officer” meant “a man in office”. Noah Webster, A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language (1806), at 207. So “office” and “officer” were inextricably linked. No basis exists for any contention that the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868 radically transmogrified the English language so as to preclude (or even raise any doubt as to) the conclusion drawn from the original Constitution that an individual who holds an “Office” is an “Officer”, by definition. Moreover, Section 1 of Amendment XXV, ratified in 1967, also refers to the Presidency as an “office” (“In the case of the removal of the President from office”), proving that between 1788 and 1967 (at least) no one ever imagined that the Presidency might be something other than an “office”, and therefore the President someone other than the unique “officer” in that “office”.

2. It has also been contended that, the niceties of the English language aside, several provisions of the original Constitution do, in fact, indicate that the President, although incumbent in an “Office”, is nonetheless not an “Officer”. Namely,

a. Under Article II, Section 2, Clause 2, “by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, [the President] shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the Supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law”. Apparently, the argument here is that, if the President “shall appoint * * * all other Officers”, he himself cannot be an “Officer” or he would have the self-contradictory power to appoint himself. This is an especially stupendous piece of self-evident stupidity, because the President need not and cannot appoint himself pursuant to the authority granted in Section 2 of Article II, in as much as his “Appointment[ ] * * * herein” (that is, within the Constitution) has “otherwise [been] provided for, and * * * established by Law” in Section 1 of that Article (which, of course, precedes Section 2).

b. Under Article II, Section 3, the President “shall Commission all the Officers of the United States”. Here, too, the contention is that, were the President an “Officer[ ]”, he would be authorized to “Commission” himself. The obvious rejoinder is that this Section, in the exercise of common sense, must be read as “all the Officers of the United States [other than himself]”, or it would directly conflict with Section 1 of that Article, which (as with any other purported conflicts among constitutional provisions) is a legal impossibility. And

c. Under Article II, Section 4, “The President * * * and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment”. This supposedly creates a dichotomy between the President and “all civil Officers”, excluding him from that class of persons. Besides not taking into account that precisely because the President “shall be removed from Office” he must be the “civil Officer[ ]” in that “Office” to begin with (as explained above), this contention requires one to disregard the obvious reading of the phrase “all civil Officers of the United States” to import “all [other] civil Officers of the United States” — that is, other than the President, he having already been explicitly singled out in that very sentence.

3. Finally, it has even been argued that Article VI, Clause 3 of the Constitution proves that the President is not an “Officer”, because that Clause mandates that “all executive * * * Officers * * * of the United States * * * shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution”, whereas the “Oath or Affirmation” of the President in Article II, Section 1, Clause 7 goes far beyond the simple words “support this Constitution” — and Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment refers simply to persons “who, having previously taken an oath * * * as an officer of the United States * * * to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection”. But why the expansive words of the President’s special “Oath or Affirmation”, being explicitly mandated by the Constitution, do not in substance constitute an “Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution” no one has ever explained. Surely to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” (the “Oath or Affirmation” in Article II, Section 1, Clause 7) amounts to, and indeed greatly exceeds, “support[ing] this Constitution” (the “Oath or Affirmation” in Article VI, Clause 3). And surely someone who, as President, has taken the more extensive “Oath or Affirmation”, and then “engaged in insurrection”, is arguably even more blameworthy and subject to disqualification from office than someone who has taken only the simple “Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution”.

II. Second, having disposed of the absurdity that the President is not “an officer of the United States”, analysis can turn to the question of how, if at all at the present time, Mr. Trump could be disqualified for the office of President under Sections 3 and 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment. The answer to that question is that his disqualification is constitutionally impossible.

1. The key operative terms in Section 3 are “engaged in insurrection * * * against the [United States]”. Because the Fourteenth Amendment is a provision of the Constitution of the United States, not of the laws of any of the several States, the definitions of these terms must be uniquely constitutional –that is, to use the adjective common in legal parlance, uniquely “federal” in nature. Unless the Constitution is misconstrued as a formula for legal and political chaos, there cannot be up to fifty different definitions each of “insurrection” and “engaged in”, depending on the particular State in which the issue might arise, with any or all of such definitions being in one way or another inconsistent with “federal” definitions. For, under Article VI, Clause 2, “[t]his Constitution * * * shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution and Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding”. The several States’ constitutions, laws, and judicial decisions — let alone determinations by their administrative agencies — can have nothing whatsoever to do with it.

Plainly, too, these uniquely “federal” definitions must be derived from common legal usage as of July 9, 1868, when the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified. And as to “insurrection” specifically, the definition must be consistent with the meaning of that term as of June 21, 1788, when the Constitution was ratified, containing the delegation to Congress of the power “[t]o provide for calling forth the Militia to * * * suppress Insurrections”, in Article I, Section 8, Clause 15. For there is no reason to believe that the Fourteenth Amendment adopted some new, idiosyncratic definition of “insurrection” at odds with the purport of that noun in the original Constitution. This, of course, excludes all of the politically motivated pseudo-definitions being proposed today to twist the Constitution out of shape in order to inculpate Mr. Trump.

Moreover, these uniquely “federal” definitions must be circumscribed by the Bill of Rights, which the Fourteenth Amendment was never intended to disregard or limit (but rather, as the Supreme Court has long maintained, to “incorporate”). In particular here, these definitions must take into account the strictures of the First Amendment, which guarantees in principle and protects in practice the freedoms of speech, petition, assembly, and association, even with respect to advocacy and activities verging on a true “insurrection”. See, e.g., Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444 (1969) (individual who advocates the violent overthrow of the government); and contrast Scales v. United States, 367 U.S. 203 (1961), with Noto v. United States, 367 U.S. 290 (1961) (differently situated members of an organization which advocates the violent overthrow of the government).

2. The uniquely “federal” definitions of “insurrection” and “engaged in” must be applied by “federal” officials through some uniquely “federal” process, not potentially fifty or more different legislative, judicial, or even administrative processes conducted by various officials of the States (unless, perhaps, Congress were to provide otherwise through the exercise of its unique power under Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment, which it has not done).

a. “Insurrection” has always been deemed an “infamous crime” — that is, a “felonious offense”. For that reason, under “federal” law an alleged “insurrection” must always be the subject of a criminal prosecution, not mere civil litigation, let alone some administrative procedure.

b. Because “insurrection” is an “infamous crime”, under the Fifth Amendment an alleged perpetrator “shall [not] be held to answer * * * unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger”.

c. As to a “criminal prosecution[ ]” for alleged “insurrection”, under Article III, Section 2, Clause 3 of the Constitution “[t]he Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed in any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed”. Moreover, under the Sixth Amendment “the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district where the crime shall have been committed, * * * and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining Witnesses to his favor; and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense”. As the supposed “January Sixth Insurrection” occurred in the District of Columbia, obviously a trial cannot be held in any State (unless Congress were to so provide, which it has yet to do).

d. In any “federal” criminal trial involving “insurrection”, “federal” evidentiary substantive standards and procedural rules must apply as to: (i) which facts are relevant, (ii) discovery as to such facts, as for example under the rule of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), (iii) how such facts may be proved to the jury or the court, (iv) the degree of certainty to which proof must rise (“beyond a reasonable doubt”), and so on.

e. All of this will require various “federal” statutes making “insurrection” a “federal” crime, to be enforced according to appropriate “federal” rules of Grand Jury practice, of criminal procedure at trial, of appellate review, and so on. These particulars must be provided by Congress, which under Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment exercises the exclusive “power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of [Section 3]”. In principle, Congress could enact a statute which permitted the States’ courts to enforce the “federal” statute making “insurrection” a “federal” crime. In practice, however, Congress has done the very opposite. Specific “federal” statutes make “insurrection” a crime, and define it as a “felony”. Title 18, United States Code, Sections 2383 and 3559(a)(3). But these statutes cannot be enforced in the States’ courts. Title 18, United States Code, Section 3231.

3. In sum, as a matter of “federal” law applicable to Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, Mr. Trump: (i) has not been arrested for the “federal” crime of “insurrection”, (ii) has not been formally charged with and arraigned for “insurrection”, (iii) has not been indicted by a “federal” Grand Jury for “insurrection”, (iv) has not been convicted of “insurrection” in a criminal prosecution in a “federal” court, and (v) has not unsuccessfully exhausted all possible appeals or other post-trial remedies which might result in reversal or negation of a conviction. Therefore, Mr. Trump is not, and cannot be, the subject of a disability which might derive from Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment that could prevent him from once again holding the office of President of the United States.

Florida, You Have A Big Problem

Tallahassee Eyes Arresting Citizens for “Harassing” Election Officials

Although there has never been a reported case of anyone harassing an election official in Florida, somehow, after the problems with the current administrators, Secretary of State, Cord Byrd, and Administrator of Elections, Maria Matthews were made public, the legislators felt the need for such a bill. Funny that.

The proposed legislation enables an election worker to decide what might constitute “harassment”. The proposed penalties for violation of HB721, include imprisonment. This bill has now been fast-tracked to the state Senate for approval.

REALLY?

Florida, like most states, already has a law against harassment on the books, and it is the responsibility of law enforcement to attend to such complaints when they arise. There is NO need for another harassment law, except for one — to scare citizens away from looking into Florida’s elections.

The threat of jail time; being attacked in your own home and dragged away, in front of family and neighbors; your legal firearms confiscated and DeSantis’s Red Flag Law being invoked against you; finding, hiring and affording legal counsel to defend you against the state; and the complete life-changing misery that would be felt by a good person placed in this situation. . .. THIS is what Tallahassee is counting on, to keep election fraud under wraps.

We aready know that massive irregularities in voter rolls have been proven and, thanks to ordinary citizens, are being rectified. A number of the Supervisors of Elections were not happy about this.

Since seeking the truth is only against the law in totalitarian societies, Floridians have a problem. It seems like the bright red veneer of that once “good red state” is peeling away, and what’s underneath is looking less like America and more like a totalitarian society.

Cord Byrd and Maria Matthews are in obvious violation of the ordinances concerning electioins which govern their jobs . Their responsibilities include registering only citzens to vote, and ensuring safe and secure election equipment through annual checks according to national standards. Those machine security checks have been called “horribly substandard” by the nation’s leading expert in the field.

As to the proof of citizenship to register to vote? Maria Matthews removed the checkbox for declaration of citizenship, in 2019, and has required every employee at every motor vehicle licensing center to provide a voter registration form to any and all comers. That was the first year of DeSantis’s first term.

Thus, Byrd and Matthews were asked by the Florida Republican Assembly to resign. That is what started this firestorm of proposed legislation against “harassment”.

Speaking of DeSantis, where IS he on all this? He is supposedly re-inivolved in matters of Florida, yet he has said nothing about this clearly unconstitutional bill which takes the definition of a “crime” away from existing law and creates a protected class of election officials who can decide on what constitutes a violation. It can only be assumed that he agrees with it. After all, he never found a problem with the J6 Purge…

God bless you, Florida. You got your awol governor back, and now, this. You have a VERY serious issue here. When combined with the infighting among conservatives, your wonderful state is moving along the road to destruction, and becoming another California……(ugh…sorry, I know, but I’m trying to light some fires here…:)

Light up every phone line and twitter (aka, “X”) acount and tell those ELECTED TO REPRESENT YOU that this does NOT> Get out there and make some noise! Tell everyone in every state what is happening to you.

While you’re at it, remind them to be VERY grateful that DeGov is probably never going to be their POTUS!

The Battle of the Gods

By Ms. Smallback

February 17, 2024

Joshua, an old testament type for Jesus, finished the work of Moses and brought the children of Israel into the Promised Land. His book details the overview of their deliverance, and at the end of his book, it records his final instructions to God’s people. Joshua reminded the people that their ancestors had lived beyond the Euphrates and he calls Abraham’s family out by name: Terah, his dad, and Nahor, his uncle and said, “They served other gods.” A bit later in his discourse he says this well known piece:

“Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell….”[1]

Most every Christian can quote the next part: “But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

The “gods” their fathers served were the sons of God (and later their offspring) of Genesis 6 who intermarried with human women to create Nephilim who corrupted the earth. They were spiritual beings of a higher order than man. They took a physical form, just like God did when He walked in the Garden.

It’s a really, really old story that only changes in nuances as the centuries turn into millennia. The Supreme God created other gods to co-reign with Him, and then He created man. His co-reigning entities rebelled and altered the created order. I know it’s popular to blame the perpetual failures of humanity on Adam and Eve, but they had help.

It’s really a fascinating story that would leave any movie or novel in the dust. But we’ve sanitized it over the centuries, and taken turns both marginalizing and fantasizing it, and turned it into myths and legends, and done all but really learn from it.

Basically the fallen Watchers taught humans knowledge that corrupted humanity and were then imprisoned until the final judgment (Enoch 10:11-12, also Jude and Peter make reference to such). Before they were imprisoned in the dark underworld, they intermarried with human women and produced offspring called the Nephilim. (Don’t scorn me please, it’s in Genesis 6.)

The Nephilim

The Nephilim were giants. When the Nephilim were finally killed off (the Flood finished the last of them), they were cursed in that their bodies died but their spirits were left on earth. Enoch says plainly (En. 5:28) they are the source of demons on the earth, they roam around for things to inhabit because they can’t have their original bodies. (Usually they inhabit people, but they can inhabit animals and objects as well.)

The late Dr. Michael Heiser brought the hardcore Scriptural breakdown of the story to the forefront. I studied under his teaching for awhile before I said anything to anyone. I wanted to be able to follow up on the extensive bibliography and resources he provides. But I’ll never forget when I met my young adult son for lunch one day. We finished our burgers and caught up on details of life, and he said casually, “What’s new with you? What are you working on?”

I paused. Oh well, I thought, let’s see where this goes. I said, “Look up Psalm 82 and read the first verse to me. Tell me what you think.” He pulled out his phone and pulled up the Bible app. He began reading the first verse and just looked quizzical at me. “It’s the wrong version,” I said. “Look at it in the English Standard.”

He began reading aloud, “God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment.” He stopped. I’ll never forget his face or what he said next, “Mom! This changes everything! This makes everything make sense.”

Yes. Yes it does.

Before I could get home (an hour and a half drive), he had called me to tell me of additional passages he had found that helped him. I hadn’t seen my son excited about things of God and faith in a long time. He was disillusioned with a lot of religious aspects of western Christianity. But this resonated with him, with his observations of the world, with his own experiences….

What are the rules for the gods?

I don’t know what the rules were for the sons of God. There had to be some that we’re not necessarily privy to. I was always stumped by the covenant God made with Abraham when He tells Abraham about his progeny being enslaved for four hundred years, but the fourth generation they will be released. Then He says this curious thing, “…for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.”

We can know the Amorites were giants because Amos 2:9 tells us God said, “Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars and who was as strong as the oaks.” The Amorites lived in the known region of the giants in the region west of Sumer and ancient Babylon, and in fact were giants. (Remember, when you see “giants” think Nephilim, offspring of the fallen watchers and women.) Nephilim existed post-Flood too.

So basically God called Abraham and set him aside to establish a people group that would be faithful to Him in the face of a world of people groups serving other gods. But He did so with a future date in mind: four hundred years! Why not just wait four hundred years to do it? Why speak it four hundred years in advance? There must be some rules or protocols if He was unwilling to move Abraham and his seed into an established territory because the occupants’ iniquity was not “yet complete”.

We know the nations were divided according to the sons of God (Deut. 32:8-9), and God later judged them (in Psalm 82) as not ruling mankind justly. Hesier says it like this, “Recall that in Deuteronomy 32:8-9, the ‘Most High’ had disinherited the nations of the world, assigned them to the dominion of supernatural sons of God, and then created Israel from nothing. Those sons of God rebelled and became corrupt (Psalm 32:1-4), throwing God’s order into chaos (Psalm 82:1-5).” [2]

So there must be some sort of rules in the council of the gods for being able to upend boundaries and people groups, otherwise wouldn’t God just be able to move them when and as He pleased? I’m just thinking we don’t know all the rules the gods are playing by. What’s the measurement for a collective iniquity to be complete? We’re talking about the Amorites — godless, ruthless giants. Why was there a waiting time before they could be removed? What constitutes completing the iniquity?? God was clearly keeping some standard or some set of rules there.

What was in the mind of God that He made a plan to interfere in the affairs of man and overthrow another god’s territory to establish one for Himself? He had already reset the world twice: at the flood and at the tower of Babel. Were there other purposes involved?

The Timing of God

Now think of this: if Christ was the solution to the sin problem that separates humanity from God set in motion by the first man and woman, why did God wait four thousand years to bring the solution? Why wasn’t it at some other point? Why then?? He reset the world twice in two thousand years (that we know of). What was going on, what had been put in motion or already established, that caused the remedy in Noah’s day to be a flood, and in Nimrod’s day to be confounding people languages, but wait another two thousand years to bring the perpetual, perfect and permanent solution?

Why does Paul write (in Galatians 4:5) that God sent Christ “when the fullness of time had come”? And in 1 Timothy 2:6 he said that Christ’s ransom for man was given “at the proper time”…. It’s almost as if there’s a timetable God is working on… a time for the nation of Israel to be formed… a time for the Nephilim to be eradicated… a time for the redemption of humanity to be unveiled…

Mesopotamian History is Important

Mesopotamia is the region the giants inhabited and that this drama is set against. Mesopotamia has numerous ancient documents and histories and legends passed down in written script. Dr. Heiser wisely argues that such script gives context to those blocks of history, and ignoring them makes one blind to seeing the bigger picture. The western institutional church strongly discourages (and worse in some cases) studying and reading such for a multitude of reasons. History is still history, and leaving context out hinders understanding. (to put it mildly) “My people perish for lack of knowledge” is certainly applicable here. Moreover, convincing argument and evidence is provided that indicate the disciples and children of God in Christ’s day and the early church history would have this same knowledge and understanding of ancient Mesopotamia.

Heiser explains that Mesopotamian history teaches that there were divine beings pre-flood called the “apkallu” who functioned as a go-between between heaven and earth, teaching humans things like “wisdom [including omens, magic, etc.], social forms and craftsmanship”. There were seven of these apkallu that were considered some form of “culture heroes who brought the arts of civilization to the land. During the time that follows this period, nothing new is invented, the original revelation is only transmitted and unfolded.”[4]

In fact, Heiser underscores the relevance of this with Genesis. He said, “It is difficult to do justice to the importance of the idea that the knowledge that made Mesopotamian civilization great – particularly in the case of Babylon – came from a divine source. It is a subject with immediate ties to Genesis.”[5]

Whether these are benign or malevolent beings is open to debate. The inhabitants of Mesopotamia thought they were good, and they developed their culture and society with instruction and learning from these. The ancient scripts depict a scenario of people gaining instruction and knowledge from divine beings, and establishing their civilizations according to such instruction.

Remember, this is pre-flood. The Bible says very little about pre-flood (comparatively to post). As followers of the Supreme God, we can assume the knowledge and instruction being given was NOT good because it led to the destruction of life on earth. This would also be in that time Enoch speaks quite thoroughly of regarding its wickedness and the pronouncement of God’s judgment on the (original 200) Watchers. God said, “You were in heaven, and no mystery was revealed to you; but a stolen mystery you learned; and this you made known to the women in your hardness of heart, and through this mystery the women and men are multiplying evils upon the earth.” (En. 16:3)

Seriously, read the book of Enoch. The foundation for the courses of history on earth are better understood when you evaluate as much of the history available that you can.

Understanding the premise of the early history on earth and the players involved will help understand current events and the players involved. Historical documents indicate the seven apkallu pre-flood were divine (not human), but the four apkallu recorded post-flood were “of human descent”, with the fourth (Gilgamesh) described as two-thirds apkallu. This presents a hybrid of people on the earth even post-flood, a mixture of divine with flesh.

These hybrid post-flood apkallu were known as giants. Those giants were later exterminated from the land God promised Abraham’s seed. God knew when He called Abraham to that land that the giants, (hybrids of the apkallu), lived on the land. For some reason, there was a timeline for when the land could be conquered for God’s people and it would have to wait for four hundred years.

The rest of the Bible gives plenty of opportunities to examine the continued presence of giants (Nephilim).

What happened to the sons of god with dominion over the other nations?

What I’m more interested in is the gods that created these giants and what happened to them. Pre-Christ we know they were given dominion over the nations and the nations served these other gods. Then Israel got ensnared with them, from Baal to Ashteroth, to Chemosh, Molech, etc. These gods existed and humanity was paying homage to them. Israel and Judah were both divorced from God for their unfaithfulness to Him in serving other gods.

These gods are consistent through all historical and archaeological records. Their names change with their locations but their functions and titles remain much the same.

When Christ came as the “son of God” – a title that competes with the rebellious fallen gods – He basically waged a war on not only the consequences of sin, but also the staked claim of the fallen gods. Christ was transfigured on Mount Hermon, the entry point for the Watchers when they descended from Heaven to earth. Mount Hermon is considered the mountain of the gods (not God). Christ was revealed for who He is on Mount Hermon, on enemy territory, in fact the enemy’s base camp!

Heiser reveals a subtle difference in Jesus’s encounter with the demon-possessed between Mark 1:24 and Mark 5:7. In Mark 1:24, they were in Capernaum (Jewish territory) when the demons (remember demons are fallen Nephilim spirits inhabiting humans) addressed Him as “Jesus of Nazareth”. But in the region of Bashan, when Jesus came into Gerasenes, the demons addressed Him as “son of the Most High God”. (Territorial spirits are also known as principalities.) These spirits in Gerasenes rightly identified Christ’s dominion even in their territory. The game was changing.

As Heiser said, “Bashan and Hermon were ground zero for spiritual evil, and in particular, the Watchers of 1 Enoch. The spiritual corruption of humanity would be healed by the atonement of the cross. His resurrection meant that no member of the kingdom of God would share living space with the Watchers in the underworld Abyss, the realm of the dead. Even an army of Watchers was overmatched by the Son of the Most High. They would be lords of nothing.”²

So the gods of old were defeated at Calvary and His resurrection from the grave. Jonathan Cahn in Return of the Gods does an excellent and careful exposition of this very topic. He lays out how the ancient gods of Rome and Greece and Babylon, etc. (they’re all the same gods with different names according to the language spoken) waged war against the early Christians as they turned the world upside down, liberating people from empty and vile worship of malevolent beings and showing them the benevolence of the true God in His son Christ, and the freedom Christ gives.

The ancient gods were silenced and eventually all but forgotten, relegated to underground sects and cults. Their temples and altars are now ancient ruins in what used to be hotbeds of parades and sacrifices and orgies to the gods. But these gods emerged in America in the last fifty-plus years, specifically Baal, Ishtar and Molech. In fact, they’ve resurfaced in many places in the last century or so. Cahn and Heiser have their own theories on the how and why, and while I see and understand and agree with them both (different angles), I have my own theories with another slant. But I’m out of space for today.

Democrat Beats Democrat in New York Election

By Cliff Kincaid

February 16, 2024

With a narrow majority, House Republicans voted to expel one of their own members and then lost a special election for that vacant seat in New York on Tuesday to a Biden-supporting Democrat. But it turns out the “Republican opponent” was also a Democrat.

This is another example of how the “Stupid Party” loses winnable elections.

This is also what happens when the Republican party subcontracts its candidate selection process to the New York Post and Fox News. It’s another indication that the Republican Party is headed for obliteration if it runs away from its reliable base of Trump supporters and runs fake Republicans or RINOs for office.

Conservatives are not fooled. They do not depend on the establishment “conservative” media for news and information anymore.

The New York Post and Fox News candidate, “Republican” Mazi Pilip, was a liberal black women and registered Democrat who attacked Trump and ran on a pro-abortion platform, mimicking her opponent, Democrat Tom Suozzi. Pilip lost by over seven points.

Public records uncovered by Politico showed Pilip has been enrolled as a Democrat since 2012, the publication said.

“Both Pilip and Joe Cairo, the [Nassau] county’s GOP chair, did not respond to numerous requests for comment, including through allies.” But the Nassau County Board of Elections’ spokesperson called on Pilip’s behalf and “confirmed she is an enrolled Democrat,” the publication reported.

So if she had won, would she have been expelled as well for falsely claiming to be a Republican?

President Trump is correct that MAGA voters stayed home in this race.

“Republicans just don’t learn,” said Trump, “but maybe she was still a Democrat?” He called Pilip a “very foolish woman” who tried to “straddle the fence” on many issues, including whether she would support Trump. He added, “MAGA, WHICH IS MOST OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, STAYED HOME…”

Establishment Republicans supported her because they were trying to act and look like Democrats, emphasizing ethnicity and background rather than conservative policy positions.

When she announced for the seat, she declared, “I’m a black, Jewish woman & I’m not afraid to tell you that I am 100% Pro-Law Enforcement, Pro-Border security, and Pro-Family. Democrats & the liberal media have spent years saying the GOP will never support someone of my ethnicity & my creed.”

So the Republican Party and the New York Post opted for a candidate who embodied DEI and lost the seat.

The New York Post “heartily” endorsed Pilip, warning, “A Dem win here would narrow the GOP’s already razor-thin House majority, empowering a party committed to bad and dangerous ideas.”

The paper is clearly a bad judge of character and elections in its own backyard, in this case the February 13th special election for Congress in Nassau County, New York. It should concentrate on its coverage of Taylor Swift.

With this loss, Republicans gave the seat of Republican George Santos to the Democrats and jeopardized their ability to get anything done.

In an unprecedented move, Santos had been expelled for lying about his background.

House Republicans just impeached Homeland Secretary Mayorkas for lying to Congress about a ‘secure” border. The Senate will not convict him. So he will stay in his job.

Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar, who says her top priority is to put Somalia first, remains in Congress

By any objective calculation, Democrats are winning again.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, who is a good conservative, was bamboozled into endorsing Pilip and even raising money for her. He said, “…she doesn’t have is a rolodex filled with Hollywood billionaires and Wall Street bigwigs cutting big checks like her left-wing opponent does.”

He called her “pro-family” and she claimed to be “pro-life.” But she said she would oppose an “abortion ban” to protect unborn babies and would instead protect “women’s rights” to abort their children.

In other words, she ran as a Democrat (which she was anyway) on this issue which is so important to pro-life Americans. She even said she would oppose “funding cuts” for “reproductive care.” That meant taxpayer dollars for killing unborn babies.

The left-wing “opponent” won anyway because pro-lifers didn’t believe they had a real choice. As Trump said, they stayed home.

Despite Mazi’s status as a former soldier in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), she did not fight for conservative values. She wasn’t a Republican to begin with, although she took some “conservative” positions, such as border security. It wasn’t good enough.

There is a lesson here for conservatives who think the Republican Party is a reliable vehicle for conservative values: don’t trust the party establishment. And don’t trust the candidates themselves when they suddenly emerge as “Republicans” when they run for office.

Tucker & Vladimir: The Interview of the Decade, if Not the Century!

By Cherie Zaslawsky

February 16, 2024

Tucker Carlson interviews President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin, February 8. 2024

Though summarily booted off Fox News only ten months ago, Tucker Carlson has singlehandedly pulled off the journalistic coup of the century. He’s now the envy of the myriad sycophants in mainstream media newsrooms, who do nothing more than read the scripts given them by their handlers, all of whom are in the pay of their globalist masters. Predictably, they’re attacking Carlson on cue, meaning he’s over the target.

Way to go, Tucker!

He just enabled us to witness a two-hour candid encounter with one of the world’s most important leaders.

Those of us who’ve listened to Putin’s speeches in the past—especially his remarkable speech from February 24^th, 2022, when he announced his reasons for beginning a military operation in Ukraine—were not surprised to find him a highly intelligent, knowledgeable leader with an unflappable demeanor. But as Tucker’s interview with him proceeded, we also got a glimpse of his candor and wry sense of humor.

Predictably, the Putin demonizers—i.e. the mainstream media, Dems, RINOs, the globalist Left, etc.—are clearly scrambling to enact damage control now that millions of Americans have seen for themselves, by virtue of Tucker’s two-hour interview with the Russian President, that Putin is no bogeyman after all. And that means we’ve been lied to for years.

THE TUCKER BASHERS

Those of us who watched all two hours of Tucker Carlson’s interview of Putin were treated to an historic conversation in which we witnessed a true statesman steeped in the history of his country and that of Europe, giving insightful, measured, candid yet diplomatic answers to Tucker’s questions.

Yet the Leftist media found nothing of value in the entire interview, and everything to disparage.

Two memes appeared almost immediately in the MSM’s attempt to discredit Tucker: the claim Tucker is “not a journalist”, but rather a “useful idiot.” Just in case we miss the point, the press lackeys go on to discredit Putin as well.

Case in point: A recent MSNCB article by Frank Figliuzzi

contends that Tucker is “not a journalist” but a “former Fox News entertainer”, and that Putin is a “master at manipulating” a ”despot” and a “stone-cold killer” who “used” Carlson and “played him for a fool.”

Here are some woke attempts at zingers from Tucker’s former colleague, Chris Wallace, who says Tucker was “basically broadcasting fascist propaganda to credulous people in the West who are eager to buy into the mythology of Putin…as an enemy of wokeness.” Wallace elaborated with the memes du jour, saying the interview was: “one of the most disgraceful — to call it a journalistic performance is wrong because he’s not a journalist. …It was just simply being a scribe to one of the most vicious dictators of our time.” (Emphasis mine)

Nice try, guys. But you’ve got it exactly backwards. Having been shills so long probably makes it hard for you to recognize a real journalist when you see one. The biggest tip-off is that Hillary herself called Tucker “a useful idiot.” That’s a badge of honor coming from the Hildebeast who refers to American patriots as the Deplorables.

In fact, with his rational discourse and impressive knowledge of history and changing global power alignments, Putin puts our own President, Vice President, and most members of Congress to shame, though they were in no need of outside help on that score.

Putin comes across as sincere, principled and even, dare I say, compassionate. What a shock! Of course his perspective clashes with that of O’Biden’s destructive policies, as could be expected. And another shocker for many in Tucker’s audience may be the provable fact that the West, and particularly America, repeatedly betrayed Russia after the fall of the USSR. So instead of Putin appearing as the villain in this piece, we are confronted with our own guilty role in the war in Ukraine which we are stubbornly prolonging, among other things.

A FEW BIG TAKEAWAYS

During the interview, Putin put to rest a few of the West’s main charges against him. It’s your decision, of course, whether to believe him or not, but many facts bear him out.

We learned that Putin favored a diplomatic negotiated plan regarding Ukraine, and that such a plan had been in the works, but got torpedoed by the UK’s Boris Johnson, presumably at the behest of the U.S. Here’s some outside verification.

Arguably the biggest lie of the Leftist press has been that Putin plans to take over Europe. Here’s Politico quoting Strobe Talbott in February 2022: “Putin certainly has an endgame in mind: It’s recreating the Russian Empire with himself as tsar.” And here’s the title of an article from the UK’s Independent from March 2022: “Putin the imperialist: Why Ukraine is part of his dream of a Greater Russia.”

So Tucker asked Putin: “Well, the argument… is that, well, he invaded Ukraine. He has territorial aims across the continent. Latvia. Expansionist behavior. Can you imagine a scenario where you send Russian troops to Poland?”

And now we have Putin on record: “…they’re trying to intimidate their own population with an imaginary Russian threat… we have no interest in Poland, Latvia or anywhere else. Why would we do that? We simply don’t have any interest. It’s just threat-mongering…. It is absolutely out of the question.”

MY QUIBBLES

And though most of Tucker’s questions were apt, I, for one, winced when he asked Putin: How could he be a Christian and yet go to war, when Jesus said one shouldn’t kill, but just turn the other cheek?

Of course, if Christian pacifism under all circumstances was a necessity,

Britain should never have gone to war against Hitler, since England is a Christian country. In fact, so is nearly all of Europe, though the Nazis cultivated paganism. Or did Tucker mean to imply that this supposed Christian standard—refusing to kill no matter what—pertains only to Russia?

One more gripe. Here’s a paraphrase of another of his questions: “Why are you concerned with de-Nazification? After all, Hitler died 80 years ago…”. Did Tucker not notice the worldwide recent rise of antisemitism? Had he not heard of the Azov Battalion with its Nazi heritage and a swastika on its flag? Does he not know that copies of Mein Kampf were found among Hamas terrorists’ belongings?

Of course we owe Tucker our gratitude for pursuing this historic interview, and for asking Putin a number of vitally important questions, especially those about the war in Ukraine, and for allowing Putin to speak at length with few interruptions. And though I have quibbles over a couple of his formulations, it is possible, even likely, that his questions had to be submitted in advance for approval, as one might expect.

MY WISH-LIST OF QUESTIONS FOR PUTIN

Nevertheless, regarding questions, this was not vintage Tucker at his brilliant best. Here are some questions I wish he’d asked the Russian leader:

You must know that a number of American politicians not only support Ukraine, but have called for regime change in Russia, i.e. they want to see you ousted from power. Why do you think that is?
Why do you think the American elites, media, entrenched political establishment, and even many of our courts fought so hard against Trump while he was in office, and are trying to keep him from running now?
Trump has declared he could end the war in a week if elected. Here’s a quote from the BBC from last May: “’If Mr. Trump cuts off the supply of weapons, the war will end on Russian terms, which is the West’s worst nightmare,’ says the former head of Britain’s secret service, Sir Alex Younger.” What do you anticipate would happen regarding the war in Ukraine if Trump is reelected in November, and how might that affect Russia’s relationship with the US?
What can you tell us about corruption and malfeasance in Ukraine, including Hunter Biden’s role, his father’s role, the reported biosecurity labs, etc.?
You say that the West is focused on practicality and technological gains, while Russia remains patriotic, religious, and nationalistic, in an almost mythic-poetic way. Yet you observe that the world power structure is changing and that one should adapt to it, and so Russia is increasingly allying with China, at least economically. Isn’t that being practical? And mightn’t there be a downside to allying with a powerful Communist country?

THE IMPORTANCE OF HISTORY

Though Putin spoke about Russian history at some length, I don’t recall him referencing the Warsaw Pact by name, and the fact that while the Pact was disbanded in 1991, its counterpart, NATO, remained—even after the collapse of the USSR. This shifted the balance of power against Russia, and of course the threat of bringing Ukraine into the NATO fold on Russia’s doorstep was a bridge too far.

Putin likely felt it necessary to review Russian history since the Western media misrepresents it, pretending Ukraine was historically an independent nation, though long referred to as the “bread basket of Russia.” Similarly, the same Leftist press misrepresents “Palestine” as the former country of Arab Muslims, though it never existed as more than a region, and where Jews were inhabitants long before Arabs.

Interestingly, there are some additional parallels between Russia and Israel. Both nations face what they perceive to be an existential threat, and have responded militarily to that threat, yet both are being accused of war crimes as they defend themselves. Furthermore, Western and especially U.S. indignation against them has resulted in the O’Biden administration and their pals in Congress clamoring for “regime change” in both Russia and Israel. We’re told Putin plans to invade more countries for Greater Russia, and that Netanyahu seeks to create Greater Israel, so both should be stopped. More Leftist lies and scare tactics, used to confuse the actual issues.

Let’s be honest: under O’Biden, for all the administration’s verbiage to the contrary, America is essentially on the wrong side in both wars. We’re fighting a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine—the seat of money-laundering and major payoffs for the Big Guy and pals; and though Biden/Blinken claim to be supporting Israel, they’re actually funding the terrorism by funding Iran, resupplying Hamas, and attempting to tie Israel’s hands to prevent the defeat of Hamas.

In fact, a case can be made that neither the war in Ukraine nor Hamas’ October 7^th attack on Israel would have occurred without American aid to the miscreants.

SOME INCONVENIENT TRUTHS

I suspect President Trump would have had an excellent relationship with Putin if the Deep State hadn’t tied his hands, and excoriated him with their “Russia Russia Russia” faux accusations, which made it awkward for him to court a new friendship with Russia. The two men likely recognized they were both nationalists fiercely opposed to globalism, giving them common ground.

Is it coincidental that the Dems/Marxist Left engineered the theft of the 2020 election, and are doing their damnedest to keep Trump from even running this year? Is it merely a coincidence that Progressive Leftists at home and abroad seek to remove Putin and Netanyahu? Or could it perhaps be because, whatever their individual flaws and shortcomings, all three leaders are dedicated nationalists who love their countries and stand firm in opposition to the global predators seeking their dystopian New World Order/Great Reset/Agenda 2030—the abolition of national sovereignty and personal liberty?

In fact, I’d argue that one of the many reasons the Dems/Deep State/Leftists concocted the Russia hoax and made up the nonsensical charge of MAGA Trump being a Russian spy, was to keep him from forging an historic relationship with our former Cold War enemy. And that may also be one of many reasons they want to keep Trump out of the White House once more, as well as a reason for their push to topple Putin. For if Trump could engineer an alliance with Putin, if nationalist America and nationalist Russia started working together, that would be mighty inconvenient for the Global Elites as they pursue their One World Totalitarian Government “Utopia.”

THE EVENTUAL HOPEFUL ENDING

I was surprised when Tucker threw Putin a curve ball in the last ten minutes of the interview, accusing him of wrongly imprisoning America journalist Evan Gershkovich and asking him publicly, on air, to release him then and there.

Though Putin gave a diplomatic response, last-minute focusing on the Gershkovich issue would have ended the two-hour interview on a sour note, so I was relieved that Tucker asked one final question. In response, Putin told a remarkable true story, invoking the presence of the Russian soul that he believes resides in the Ukrainians as well as the Russians.

It made a beautiful last word for the interview, and Tucker graciously let Putin be the one to say: “Shall we end it here?” So the master statesman, who began the program with half an hour’s history lesson that most of us could benefit from hearing, ended it on a hopeful note that healing will follow after the war, as he alluded to the profound, soulful connection to Mother Russia that, through it all, will persist for those on both sides, once peace is achieved.

In the meantime, we’ve also learned that this is a new Tucker, freed from the shackles of Fox News, courageously pursuing truth and making journalistic history. And that he’s unstoppable.

Foreign Occupation of Our White House

By Lex Greene

February 16, 2024

At a time when our beloved country is being systematically flooded with foreign invaders from all over the globe, South America, China, the Middle East, most of them military age males unaccompanied by women and children, it seems more important than ever to establish a means to prevent “illegal aliens” from voting in our elections, foreign interference in our elections, and most certainly, prevent any foreign occupation of The People’s White House.

Most American voters do not know that only one tiny little three-word clause in Article II of the US Constitution, exists to prevent foreign occupation of the White House. Nowhere else in codified US Law is there anything else to prevent foreign occupation of the most powerful political office in the USA.

That three-word clause in Article II of the US Constitution pertaining to the offices of President and Vice President, is often referred to as the natural-born Citizen clause. In addition to an age and residency requirement, the natural-born Citizen clause is the only other constitutional requirement for the Oval Office, and it’s the only one of the three designed to prevent foreign occupation of the office.

WHAT COULD BE MORE IMPORTANT?

Yet, most voters and politicians seem entirely unconcerned with the reality that “ineligible candidates” appear on our ballots all of the time, especially since 2008, now 16-years ago.

Yes, secure borders, free, fair, transparent, and lawful elections, the economy, national security, many things are now high on everyone’s priority list after COVID and three years of a totally destructive O’Biden administration. But if we can’t even protect the Oval Office from foreign occupation, when there’s a simple clause in the Constitution for just that purpose, then what else do you think you can fix?

Two brave honorable State Legislators in Tennessee recently sponsored a bill to prevent “constitutionally ineligible candidates” from gaining ballot access in the State, Representative Hulsey and Senator Nicely. WHY? Because voters assume all candidates are eligible for the offices they seek, simply because their name appears on the ballots. That’s why…

Ineligible candidates have appeared on ballots in the USA in every election cycle since 2008. According to officials, the political parties are responsible for vetting their candidates before seeking to place them on the ballot. But neither political party is doing it as of today.

However, the bill was almost immediately targeted, as were the bill sponsors, by rabid misinformed alleged “Trumpers” who lit up the State House with emails and phone calls from across the country, all based upon a blatantly false attack by social media activist Laura Loomer. Then, someone named Eric at Conservative Tree House followed Loomer’s lead, also without reading the bill and his followers jumped into the chaos.

Within 24 hours, social media followers had knee-jerk doomed the bill, without ever reading the bill. The following morning, Tennessee Conservative News actually read the bill and got the story right, but it was too late. Still, even some of those readers couldn’t seem to grasp the reality that there’s nothing in the bill that isn’t in the Constitution, other than State enforcement of those requirements. I truly fear the lack of intelligence in our country today. It may be the biggest problem of all.

Now, to be at least somewhat fair to these online activists, the dozens of false accusations, and attacks on Trump ever since 2015, have turned many good people into real trigger-happy “conspiracy theorists” as they have grown to distrust pretty much everyone, except Trump…including many at Trump’s side.

But this event demonstrates just how dangerous and self-destructive, even nationally self-defeating it can be to blindly follow anyone, without doing your own homework to verify the story, especially related to social media posts.

No matter Loomer’s intentions, that of Eric at Conservative Tree House, or even the many blind followers who lit up the Tennessee State House in hours, the outcome is terrible, and entirely counter-productive to their stated “conservative” goals. They killed a bill that should be passed in every State…if we ever want only “constitutionally eligible candidates” to appear on our ballots at election time.

The simple truth is, neither party and no state currently vets candidates for constitutional eligibility or prevents them from appearing along side eligible candidates on our ballots. Case in point… Nikki Haley is a “naturalized” citizen only by “Immigration and Naturalization” codes and the 14^th Naturalization Amendment, a condition often referred to accurately, if not kindly, as an “anchor baby” citizen. Both of her parents were legal citizens of India, not the United States at the time of her birth. Her only access to legal citizenship as a result, was 14^th Amendment “born on soil” naturalization, after which, her parents could apply for legal citizenship via their “anchor” baby.

The bill just torpedoed by alleged Trump supporters, would deny Haley ballot access, as well as numerous others ineligible for the office. Vivek Ramaswamy was also “born on soil” to parents who were not citizens of the United States at the time of his birth, and not constitutionally eligible.

In my previous piece, The Nikki Haley Plot Against the USA, I explained just why this issue is of critical nature at this moment in US history. Sadly, due to the ill-informed actions of online activists who claim to be Trump supporters, it looks like this matter will not be corrected in Tennessee this year.

Life Is Tough; It’s Even Tougher If You’re Stupid: John Wayne

By Frosty Wooldridge

February 15, 2024

“When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

At this time in history, the American people are being led by the most corrupt president ever to live in the White House. While he dodders through the day both physically, mentally and emotionally—-we, the American people, are left to pick-up the nightmare that he has created on our Southern Border. We are left to pick up the pieces of Ukraine and Israel. We are left with the understanding that our basic citizenship has been erased. We are left with accelerating crime, accelerating violence, and accelerating denouncement of our country from within our country. We are left with terrorists within our midst. We’re left with drug pushers in every city in America.

John Wayne said it succinctly: “Life is tough; It’s even tougher if you’re stupid.”

What about an entire country devolving into sheer stupidity, ignorance, and loss of common sense? What do you do when our own leaders won’t or can’t lead? What do you do when our own governors and mayors of our states and cities break our most basic laws? What do you do when our national leaders refuse to enforce the U.S. Constitution?

The mainstream media ignores reality of the short and long-term consequences of Biden’s dementia.

“We can evade reality, but we cannot evade the consequences of evading reality” ~ Ayn Rand

Well, the morons running New York City, Detroit, Michigan, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Denver, Colorado, Miami, Florida, Los Angeles, California and San Francisco—-are discovering you cannot evade the consequences of reality. They invited “reality” into their cities, and now, that reality is destroying the existence of their own citizens. We’re talking the reality of our destroyed educational systems. We’re talking about the fear of walking down a city street. We’re talking about 100,000 drug-overdose deaths annually. We’re talking about $100 billion in shoplifting, annually in the USA.

Writer Steve Rossiter said, “For at least the last 50 years, Americans have evaded the reality that all levels of American government are fraught with criminally corrupt individual officials both elected and Deep State employed “corruptocrats.” This insidious corruption involves all three branches of government from the top of the federal government down to local political party central committees.”

Can you name the most corrupt of those people in Washington DC? I can: Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Charles Schumer, Ms. Jackson Lee, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Hillary Clinton, and list grows. Who are the most stupid? Maxine Waters leads the pack, but Georgia’s Hank Johnson thinks too much weight on one side of the Island of Guam would tip it over.

As a 27 year old staff attorney for the House Judiciary Committee, Ms. Hillary Clinton suffered firing by her supervisor, lifelong democrat Jerry Zeifman who said, “She is a liar. She was unethical and dishonest. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

If you remember the murders at the U.S. embassy in Benghazi that suffered a terrorist attack that killed four people, her reply, “What difference – at this point, what difference does it make?”

Barack Obama continued the cover-up of his incompetence in not fortifying the embassy and ignoring all calls for help. Good men died because of malfeasance and ineptitude.

In my own state of Colorado, House Member Lauren Boebert must prove herself an infantile, non-descript, and totally inept politician.

Following her are my two U.S. Senators: John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet. Both veteran politicians who have done more to harm Colorado and America with their open borders lawlessness. But then, look at your own two senators and House member—-the majority of them refuse to enforce our laws.

Rossiter continued, “No matter what it is called, it’s bribery none the less. The quickest way to assess the degree of bribery an elected official has accepted is to compare his or her net worth prior to entering office and current net worth. No matter whether the elected official is in the administrative branch of government, the legislative branch of government, or elected to the judicial branch of government, if the individual’s net worth increases more than a reasonable person would expect it to do on their government salary, corruption is likely in play. When corruption is in play, that bribe money becomes more important than the job they were hired to do by the voters.”

“Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I’ll show you a crook.” ~ Harry S. Truman

Notice that Nancy Pelosi has LIVED in Congress for three decades, uses military private jets to go home on weekends, and is worth over $100 million from insider trading on defense contracts. Ever wonder why she voted to keep Afghanistan and Iraq Wars going for 20 years?

Lord Acton said, “Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

Our country stands eyeball-deep in debt, violence, lawlessness, 40 million plus illegal aliens, corruption, drugs and worse—-yet we keep voting those corrupt people back into office year after year, decade after decade.

“Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

How much longer will this country last?

Dems to Gullible Citizens: Open your Homes to Illegals

by Lee Duigon

February 15, 2024

I’m trying to decide which is the most inane nooze story I’ve covered this week. I’ve got it down to just two leading candidates. Pick one!

First we have a member of the Boston City Council suggesting that suburban residents “open their homes” to illegal aliens, now called “Migrants”. It seems the sanctuary city is running out of sanctuary; so you folks out there—“the wealthy,” as she calls you—ought to find it in your hearts to provide it.

These people, who waltz across our border, thousands per day, illegally, need a place to stay. The government doesn’t even try to vet them. Gang members, terrorists, drug pushers, sex offenders, people with highly contagious diseases… the government doesn’t care, just let ‘em in. Someday we can turn them into Democrat voters! Just bring ‘em into your home with your twelve-year-old daughter; she’ll think their tattoos are really cool. What could possibly go wrong?

Now it practically goes without saying that this council member is not going to open her home. No-no-no! She wants to share your home with them. And, she says, you’ll be “setting them up for success.” Surely that’s worth a little tiny itsy-bitsy risk!

Our second news item takes us to the United Kingdom, where they’re fixing to arrest people for wearing masks, especially to, um, “political protests”. Wait a minute, though. Two years ago they ended their “mask mandate,” which required people to wear masks. Almost 4,000 people were arrested and fined for not wearing masks. Would you believe it? Holy cow, masks can be used to conceal your identity! Like, when you commit a crime.

Confusing, isn’t it? First it’s against the law not to wear a mask. Now it’ll be against the law to wear one. If they keep the old law, they’ll have you coming and going.

Dishonorable Mention: Faced with seven out of their last eight movies bombing at the box office, Disney Corp hired a “crisis management expert” to advise them, promptly decided to ignore the advice because it wasn’t what they wanted to hear, and announced plans to take one of their most successful film series, “Pirates of the Caribbean,” and replace the star, Johnny Depp, with some black woman to play a gorgeous sexy pirate captain. Now is that Woke or what?

Well, heck, they’ve got to check off all those boxes, don’t they? Actually, the gorgeous sexy female pirate captain has for decades been a standard cliché of unbearably schlocky romance writing. It’s not a new idea at all. Yeahbut, yeahbut! You’re gonna say “No!” to a gorgeous sexy female pirate captain who’s black? Tell us another one! Not in Disneyland you’re not. Could they also work it out so she’s a “Migrant”? That’d give them more Woke points.Yeah, they’ll be lined up around the block to see that one.

Everything is getting so flaming stupid! Is Disney trying to go bankrupt? Does anybody want MS13 gangsters holed up in their living rooms? And how do you decide, anymore, whether to wear a mask or not? Maybe only on even-numbered days? What the devil is happening to our civilization?

Maybe it’s the devil himself that’s happening. That would explain it.

Are We Cleaning up the Wrong House?

By Coach Dave Daubenmire

February 15, 2024

Note: This was first published Oct 11, 2012. Some things never change.

Babylon–any society or group in a society considered as corrupt or as a place of exile by another society or group.

America has become a modern-day Babylon. What was once “the land of the free and the home of the brave” has fallen into captivity. We have been conquered, not by a foreign army, but by a foreign ideology.

“Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.” Isaiah 1.

America is no longer a Christian nation. The sooner we admit this obvious truth, the more clearly we will be able to see the way out. Although many of us fight to restore the Christian values upon which this nation was founded, our headaches would diminish if we would come to the realization that America is under judgment.

That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t continue to fight, but we must face the fact that America is becoming an ever-pagan nation ruled by ever-more pagan leaders. Other than a sprinkling of salt here and there can you name even one strong Christian in a position of power in the United States government? I fear you can’t.

Our nation has been “overthrown by strangers.” How else can you explain the choice for the leader of this once Christian nation being a battle between a Mormon and a pseudo Muslim-liberal Christian-humanistic-communist-witch’s brew of an American/Indonesian dual citizen?

Yes, my friends. Christians have been led captive into Babylon and because of the judgment that is upon us the only choices we have are evil. Evil is evil. There is no “lesser” evil. Evil men will do evil things.

But how did we get in Babylon?

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon.” Jeremiah 29:4. The Lord is the one who put us here. It is another sign of judgment on America. A Babylonian nation will select Babylonian leaders.

As much as my heart breaks to say it, America today cannot be ruled by Christian leaders. The pagans have us outnumbered. America is awash in sin.

Sin has flooded the nation because it has flooded the church. Even though nearly 80% of Americans identify as “Christians” we know that they really aren’t Christians. It is merely their religion of preference when filling out the census report. Calling oneself a Christian today is meaningless.

And that includes those sitting in the pews. If they were really Christians they would hate sin, flee idolatry, immorality, and hate that which is evil and cling to that which is good.

Pastors are money driven, and they won’t speak against sin. Folks love to rail about how un-Christian our Presidential candidates are, while looking the other way at the hireling in the pulpit selling out the sheep for a few silver coins.

“For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude (I suggest you read all of Jude. It will explain the condition of the church.)

I am always amazed that every four years, and especially so this time, Christian’s get all in a huff over evil. We use our vote for President of the United States as if we were selecting a Theologian-in-Chief. Suddenly our choices become sacred, and a “matter of conscience”. While all we ignore the real problem in America.

The problems in America can be pin-pointed at the pulpit. Why is it that we demand “Godly leaders” for America, while ignoring the un-Godly leadership in the pulpit?

We get ticked when candidates support gay marriage while thousands of pastors, and their flocks, openly embrace what God calls an abomination.

Whole denominations of Christianity have turned to pagan beliefs, rituals, and apostasy, while we “good Christians” scream about the spiritual condition of the men vying for Commander-in-Chief. We expect from our politicians what we do not expect from our Christian leaders.

In Jeremiah 29:10-14 the Lord tells us that it will be a long captivity…70 years…but that He will not forget His people who remain faithful during the captivity. We need to be in this for the long haul…for the sake of our children and the sake of the Gospel.

Are you preparing yourself and your family? Are you training them in the ways of the Lord? Will your family be among those who “endure to the end?” The White House reflects the school house, the church house, and your house.

Judgment begins first in the house of God.

Our political candidates have made known their positions on the moral issues of the day. Sadly, many standing in the pulpit have not.

I wonder how most pastors would square if they had to publicly state and defend their positions in front of a congregation they were endeavoring to be elected to lead.

Heck, many pastors are leading congregations and are afraid to clearly state their positions on issues for fear of dividing the flock. That isn’t leadership. That is pandering in much the same way candidates for office do.

We want a “Christian President” to rule over a nation where the majority of the citizens are only Christians according to the census form.

America is modern day Babylon. True-Believers are in captivity in this pagan land.

Can we be honest here? We are selecting pagan leaders to rule over a pagan nation. We murder unborn children, we dishonor the marriage bed, we covet, we lie, we steal, and vote for candidates who do the same. Pagan nations have pagan leadership. America’s answers are not political… “strangers devour it in your presence.”

Before we demand theological purity from our Presidential candidates perhaps it might be appropriate to look at our own dirty laundry. Let’s start with the man in the mirror.

Are our government leaders forcing you to put your children in the pagan schools? Do you know anything about the spiritual beliefs of the teachers who indoctrinate your children every day? Do you demand that your children’s’ teachers share the same values that are taught in your home? Do you apply the same standards to your child’s teacher as you do the Presidential candidates? A child becomes like his teacher. Which will be most destructive to your child…the man in the school house or the man in the White House?

Do you sit silently in your church while apostasy runs rampant merely because your family has been members there for generations? Do you sit in an apostate denomination because you were baptized there? Do you attend a church, despite the doctrine, because you enjoy the “worship,” or they have a “great youth group,” or “so many of your friends” attend as well? Do you sit silently in the pew as the leadership takes the congregation farther and farther from the truth because you don’t want to make waves? Are you more Biblically literate today than you were five years ago? Which will have a greater impact on America’s spiritual life…the man in the church house or the man in the White House?

Do you lead family devotions with your children? Do you regularly pray and read the Bible with your spouse? Have you discussed spiritual issues with your children or do you leave that to the “youth leader?” Have you removed the influence of TV from your impressionable children? Have you checked their i-pods to see what they are listening to? Have you checked out their Facebook page? What do you know about their friends? What do you know about their teachers? Have you checked out the textbooks that are framing their worldview? Which will have a greater impact on your children’s spiritual life…the man in your house or the man in the White House?

Perhaps we are worried about cleaning up the wrong house.

Feb. 15, 1973: American POWs Come Home With Honor—A Day To Remember

By Rees Lloyd

February 15, 2024

February 15, 2024 is the Fifty First Anniversary of a shining moment in American history: It was on that day in 1973 that American prisoners of war began the repatriation process that would finally bring them home from Vietnam with their honor intact.

They had suffered unspeakably harsh treatment and depravation, many for over five, six, or seven years—and two for nearly nine years. The abuses and torture of American POWs were applied by the North Vietnamese communists, and their leader, Communist Ho Chi Minh.

It was a day of great importance in 1973, in an America divided by the war in Vietnam. And, it is a day to remember all these years later in an even more divided America. It is important for what it teaches about duty, honor, sacrifice and country. It is about who we are and what we can be.

The Vietnam War had severely divided Americans. It was and remains the first time in American history that veterans came home from war not to be honored for their service and sacrifice, but to be vilified, defamed as “war criminals,” told by their military commanders not to wear their uniforms in traveling home, many even spat upon as they arrived home at airports, train or bus stations.

Our younger generations need to realize how our valiant POW’s were vilified by Progressive Liberal Democrats and celebrities like actress Jane Fonda; her Leftist husband Tom Hayden—a founder of Students For A Democratic Society (“SDS”); the “Prairie Fire” communist domestic terrorist bombers like Bill Ayers (a multi-millionaire’s son) and his wife, Bernadine Dorn (a wealthy lawyer’s daughter) ; and self-promoting Democrat political opportunists like John Kerry, who publicly accused American troops of war crimes in Congressional testimony without ever being able to offer any proof. Kerry, once Democrat Party nominee for the Presidency, was thoroughly exposed as an utter and contemptible self-promoting liar by the book “Unfit For Command,” but he remains to this day a leader in the Democrat Party, most recently as its Climate Czar

These Leftist, Progressive Liberal Democrats, Socialists, Communists, Anarchists, and Communists supporting Marxist Democrats, publicly, viciously, and blatantly falsely denounced the POWs as “liars” in claiming “torture.” They insisted that Ho Chi Minh was but a benevolent nationalist Vietnamese patriot who would not engage in torture.

Only after the war was the overwhelming evidence acknowledged that Ho Chi Minh was in fact a dedicated Communist dictator who was in fact responsible for, and had personally ordered, the torture of POWs. Violating basic tenets of international rules for treatment of POWs, Ho refused to follow the Geneva Accords. Today, those facts are indisputable.

Most of the American prisoners of war were American pilots. The very first pilot captured was Lt(jg) [later Commander 0-5] Everett Alvarez, Jr., of Salinas, CA. He was shot down on August 5, 1964, and was held captive of the Communists for over eight years, until February 12, 1973, when Operation Homecoming began.

The only American to serve longer than Everett Alvarez as a POW was Army Green Beret, Colonel Floyd James (“Jim”), Thompson. He was an enlisted man who became a Special Forces officer. He was captured on March 26, 1964. He remained a captive until March, 1973, only ten days short of nine years as a POW — years in which he suffered almost unbelievable torture.

There were 776 Americans taken prisoner of war; 114 of them died in Communist captivity. The Communists under Ho Chi Minh refused to recognize them as Prisoners of War. Instead, the Communists declared them to be “war criminals” and blatantly violated the Geneva Convention. In what became known by the POWs as the “Hanoi Hilton,” and like prisons, the POWs were kept in filthy, windowless, vermin-infested, airless cells, and suffered excruciating torture.

Those seen as “ringleaders” of the resistance, like ranking officers of the resisters in what became known as the “Alcatraz Eleven,” James Stockdale, who would later receive the Medal of Honor, and his second in command, Jeremiah Denton, who received the Navy Cross, would be locked in solitary confinement for over four long years, in which horrific torture was inflicted on them, and the other resisters.

The fact of torture was not confirmed until 1966. Then, the Communists attempted to force Jeremiah Denton to participate in a propaganda broadcast to be filmed by a Japanese crew for international distribution.

Instead, Denton not only did not say what the Communists wanted him to say, but he blinked his eyes as if he had an eye problem. He was in fact blinking in Morse Code: “T-O-R-T-U-R-E.” Naval intelligence immediately understood what Denton was communicating. When the Communists later realized what Denton had done, they tortured him nearly to death, as he recounts in his now classic book on what POWs endured: “When Hell Was In Session.” (WND Books)

Overwhelming post-war proof of torture beyond any reasonable doubt has given the lie to torture-deniers Fonda, Hayden, Kerry, et al. Accounts of torture are related in the many books by or about the POWs. These include,

“POW,” by John Hubbell, the first extensive history of the POWs in Vietnam; “Honor Bound,” the seminal tome of facts by Stuart Rochester and Frederick Kiley; the late Admiral Jeremiah Denton’s classic “When Hell Was In Session;” “Surviving Hell,” by the late Col. Leo Thorsness (USAF, ret.; Medal of Honor); “The Passing Of The Night,” by the late Colonel Robinson Risner (USAF); “American Patriot,” the biography of the late and legendary POW and Air Force combat pilot Colonel Bud Day, a hero in three wars (WWII, Korea, Vietnam), and Medal of Honor recipient who was the most decorated veteran of his era; “Chained Eagle,” by Everett Alvarez, Jr., who, as stated above, was the first pilot shot down, a POW for almost nine years;

And, among other books, “Faith of my Fathers,” by the late Sen. John McCain— who refused an offer of early release by the Communists because his father was the Commanding Admiral, and suffered horrendous torture for his refusal. Whatever thoughts may be today regarding McCain’s actions as a U.S. Senator, McCain was a true hero as a POW; was recognized as such by his fellow POWs; and was left permanently crippled in his arms by torture.

More recently, author Alvin Townley has written a book magnificently telling the true story of the torture POW’s endured in Vietnam, and what their families endured at home: “DEFIANT: The POWs Who Endured Vietnam’s Most Infamous Prison; The Women Who Fought For Them, And The One Who Never Returned.”

It was not until February, 1973, that the breakthrough in Paris peace talks came and Operation Homecoming began. The first flight of emancipated POWs out of Vietnam to Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines was on Feb. 12, 1973. At Clark, the elected spokesman for the POWs, then-Captain Jeremiah Denton, in military uniform, stepped to the microphone, and spoke in short stroke words which began the stirring of the heart of a divided nation:

“We are honored to have had the opportunity to serve our country under difficult circumstances. We are profoundly grateful to our Commander-in-Chief and to our nation for this day. God Bless America.”

Then came that shining moment three days later on February 15, 1973, when Denton, Jim Mulligan, and the others of the first group of POWs landed at the Portsmouth Naval base in Virginia, back on American soil. Their wives and children rushed to embrace them, as, to the POWs surprise, a huge crowd of Americans roared with cheers for them, waving flags, laughing, some weeping with joyful emotion, Americans at last embracing the Americans they sent to war, welcoming them home — as all Vietnam veterans should have been welcomed.

Many of the Vietnam POWs are no longer with us, including Vice Admiral James Stockdale, Rear Admiral Jeremiah Denton, Col. Bud Day, and many others. But their example is with us challenging us to great accomplishments.

One of those exemplars, though he humbly eschews special recognition, is Lt. Col. Orson Swindle, a much decorated retired Marine combat pilot who flew over 200 combat missions. He was shot down on November 11, 1966, on his 205th and last scheduled mission. He endured six years and four months of torture at the hands of the North Vietnamese Communists who targeted him as one of the worst of the “resisters.” At home, he continued to serve in the Marine Corps until retirement. As a civilian, he held several high positions in the Reagan administration. Lt.Col. Swindle expressed to me in an interview for NewsWithViews.com, why he believes it is important now to remember what the POW’s did then. Lt. Col. Swindle said:

“I think it is very important to remember and honor the service and sacrifice of the Vietnam War POWs because our democracy depends on our people doing the right thing. The Vietnam POWs did that, in the face of great adversity. We held on for five, six, seven, and even eight years of torture. We did the right thing. We just said ‘No!’

“We knew our country isn’t perfect. But, even knowing the warts and all, our country has offered all people more freedom, and more opportunity than any country ever, and is still, the greatest nation on earth. Deserving of our support, our sacrifice, even our love. That is why we did what we did.

“In the interrogations, in which we were often beaten, abused, or tortured, it would have been so easy to escape punishment by saying what the Communists wanted to hear. But, we said ‘No.’ We often got beaten up, but we said ‘No.’

“I was, I believe, POW Number 144. Ultimately, there would be over 700. I learned so much from those who came before me. They were remarkable leaders who set the example. Men like [Admiral] James Stockdale [Medal of Honor recipient] and [Rear Admiral] Jeremiah Denton [Navy Cross recipient], and Bud Day [as stated above, legendary Air Force combat pilot, Medal of Honor recipient, hero in three wars —WWII, Korea, and Vietnam—and considered the most decorated veteran of his era]. They and the other POWs who followed them ought to be remembered, honored, and followed.

“Following their example, we suffered, but we wouldn’t surrender, through years of abuse, beatings, and torture. We would just say—‘No!’ And we did that time after time.

“I confess that I am greatly concerned about what is happening in our country today. No one seems to be held accountable. We had a debacle in Afghanistan in which Americans were left behind. We have an invasion at our southern border. We have rising inflation. We have crime escalating all across the country. We have had unprecedented mandates telling us we can’t leave our homes, or enter restaurants without masks, or go to church during the Covid pandemic. We have had hundreds if not thousands of our military members purged for raising religious objections to vaccination of experimental drugs. We have had hundreds of violent riots, looting, burning, police being injured. There is one crisis after another. We are being lied to repeatedly. But, no one is being held accountable. I am afraid if we don’t wake up and stand up against this, and against so-called “Woke” culture, we are not going to have a country.

“So, I believe,” Lt. Col. Swindle concluded, “citizens need to do today what the POWs did even in the face of terrible torture—do the right thing, and just say ‘No’!”

Amen. May the God the POWs served bless and keep them; may the country for which the POWs served and sacrificed so courageously and honorably always remember and honor them—and their families, who also suffered.

FOR GOD AND COUNTRY FOREVER; SURRENDER TO TYRANNY—NEVER!

Primaries, What Are They Good For?

By Paul Engel

February 14, 2024

We are in the middle of another primary season. But have you considered what the purpose behind these primaries?
Why do we have an election season before the election?
Why does the American taxpayer fund elections for private organizations?

I propose that all elections for the board members of non-profit corporations should be run by the state at taxpayer expense. After all, we already have taxpayer funded elections for private organizations. We call them “Primaries”.

While this year’s presidential primaries are pretty much a fait accompli, there are still hundreds, if not thousands, of primary elections that will be held over the next few months. In some cases the race is so partisan that the primary effectively decides the race and the general election is moot. What’s the purpose of these taxpayer funded private elections? Why to limit your choices on election day, of course. So why do we keep paying for someone else to take away our choices?

Before Primaries

It may surprise many of you, but the word “primary” did not exist in the Constitution until 1964, with the ratification of the Twenty-Fourth Amendment.

The reason is quite simple. Though there were a few primaries in the United States as early as the 1840s, it wasn’t until the early 20th century that they became widespread. In fact, the modern primary is merely the latest attempt by political parties to control elections. Starting in the colonial period, and continuing into the 19th century, political parties widely used caucuses to choose their candidates for state and local offices. Although the use of caucuses declined in the 20th century, several states still use them to choose their state’s political parties’ candidates for President. Concerns about abuses of the caucus system led state political parties to adopt conventions as the method of choosing their candidates. However, abuses of this system has led to their general demise, with the exception of the national parties choices of their presidential candidate. For the most part, conventions have been replaced by primaries elections in the 20th century. The process of political parties choosing their candidates became more and more influential as we changed how we voted.

How We Vote

For the first 50 years of our history, people did not vote by secret ballot. Rather, people voted “viva voce”, or by voice. This helps explain why Article II of the Constitution requires Presidential Electors to vote by ballot.

The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves.

U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 1, Clause 3

Imagine walking into a courthouse, swearing on a Bible that you were who you claimed to be, and had not already voted, then announcing in front of the entire room your name and who you were voting for? That’s how it was done until the early 19th century. While this may sound crazy to modern ears, the party atmosphere that surrounded voting probably explains why turnouts routinely reached as high as 85%.

In the early 19th century, states started adopting the paper ballot, but not like the ones we see today. The original paper ballot was nothing but a blank scrap of paper, which you would write in your candidate’s name and drop it in a box. In an attempt to be helpful, Newspapers began printing blank ballots, listing only the offices which were up for election. Voters could clip these ballots out of the paper, write in their candidates name, and drop them in the ballot box. How long do you think it was before political parties figured out a way to influence the vote? If your answer is “Not long”, you’d be correct.

By the mid-19th century, state Democrat and Republican parties were printing flyers with not only the offices, but the parties candidate already filled in. It was legal for people to simply drop these pre-printed “tickets” in the ballot box, which certainly made voting down the party line easier. This, of course, led to claims of fraud, which led the states of New York and Massachusetts in 1888 to require voters to only use ballots printed by the state. These ballots resemble what we see today, listing not only the offices, but all the candidates who were running for those offices. By using state laws to hamper a candidate’s ability to be on said ballot, the political parties have been able to regulate who you get to vote for in the actual elections.

States do allow write-in voting, but the laws often make it extremely difficult to win a race that way. For example, most states have a requirement that the candidate’s name be legible, written a certain way, and that it be spelled properly. Joe Biden ran a write-in campaign for the Democratic primary in New Hampshire. I wonder if the rules required people to write in “Joe Biden”, “Joseph Biden”, “Joseph R. Biden”, or “Joseph Robinette Biden”? Not only does a write-in candidate have to convince people to vote for them, they also have to train them to spell their name correctly. That is probably why, since the general adoption of state printed ballots, only two congressional races have been won by a write-in candidates, Strom Thurmond in 1954 and Charlie Wilson in 2006.

Controlling the Vote

Now the states are not only in control of who is on the ballot, but allow the state political parties to make that decision for them. This creates a very incestuous relationship, where those in office make the laws that make sure the political parties have an advantage. Which leaves us with the situation where the political parties tell us which of their members the people will be “allowed” to vote for. Of course we’re told that it’s the people in the parties who are choosing their candidates, but the last two presidential elections exposed that to be a lie. In both 2016 and 2020, Bernie Sanders was leading the race for the Democratic nomination for President, only to have his chance taken away by party machinations. While that might be the most blatant example, it certainly isn’t the only time political parties have influenced the nomination process. Through money, power, and influence, the American people are told who would be the “most electable” candidate or who would best represents “the party”, all to get us to choose the candidate the party wants. The higher the office, the more time, money, and influence the parties expend to tell you how to vote. By the time we get to Election Day, most of the decisions have already been made, because most people vote for their party’s candidate. And as a last insult to our injury, the states have their own taxpayers paying to help take away your choice. We’ve even created a phrase I hear almost every election: We’re told we have to choose the lesser of two evils. Of course it’s never mentioned that the two evils were chosen by the political parties.

Publicly Funded

Since these primaries are run by the state, the taxpayer gets to pay the bill. Not just the printing of the ballot, but insuring they are distributed to each and every county. Then, of course, the county has to pay to make sure the ballots are available at each polling station. Then there’s the manpower needed at those polling stations, a cost that is ever increasing as election day has been expanded to election week, and even election month. Then there are the ballot collection, counting, and reporting. And let’s not forget what happens if there’s a run-off or a problem? Paid for by the good ole’ We the People, run by the state, and controlled by the political parties. All so that on the actual Election Day you are psychologically directed to choose only from those candidates the political parties have approved.

What most people don’t seem to realize is that your state’s political parties are non-profit corporations. Which means that primaries are actually elections for private organizations, the political parties. So not only are you the taxpayer paying for elections for private organizations, your own state laws are used to allow those private organizations to limit who you see on the ballot. How corrupt does that sound to you?

Is There a Solution?

I’ve seen several people make suggestions to solve this problem, and a few states have tried. Some states have an “Open Primary”, where an individual can vote in a primary without being affiliated with that party. Some states have started using “Ranked Choice Voting”, where people choose up to three candidates, followed by a rather complicated process that is used to weed the selection down to one. Others use a “Jungle Primary”, also known as a “Cajun Primary” or “Louisiana Majority Vote” system, where all candidates are on the ballot. If an individual gets a majority of the vote for an office, they win. If not, then there is a run-off election between the top two vote getters. This has the advantage of getting rid of the primary, but often requires a later run-off vote.

Personally, I like the idea of just having all of the candidates eligible and running for an office on the ballot, like we see in both Ranked Choice Voting and Jungle Primaries. Of the two, I much prefer the latter. Although it does frequently delay the decision, it doesn’t have the complicated “whittle down” process of Ranked Choice, and I think the cost in both time and money for a Louisiana Majority Vote are offset by the improved ability to accurately represent the will of the voters. Maybe there’s another idea or an even better system. If there is, I’m not aware of it, but would be interested. So if you have what you think is a better idea, please let me know.

Conclusion

It seems this idea of the political primary or its variants, have become so much a part of our election process, most people don’t even realize it’s a relatively new thing. While I have no problem with political parties choosing their preferred candidate, I am opposed to them doing all they can to limit my choices to those candidates.

Imagine walking into a voting booth, and the ballot listing all the names of the people who have qualified to run for office? There still needs to be some vetting process for candidates, some paperwork to request access to the ballot, and probably some process to insure there is enough support to warrant being included. Beyond that, let all comers be on the ballot and let the people decide. I know what I’m saying sounds radical, but really it’s just a return to how things used to be. I’m not saying we should go back to voice voting, but shouldn’t We the People be the deciders of who we can vote for, rather than the political parties? Don’t we denigrate countries like Iran and Venezuela where political actors limit the choices on the ballot? I’m not naive enough to think such a change could happen in the current spirit of revenge between our two largest political parties. For everyone who wished for a chance to vote for a third-party candidate though, shouldn’t we be working to make it more possible, rather than following those fighting tribes further down the road to the ruin of our public liberty?

The Idolatry Of Sports

By Bradlee Dean

February 14, 2024

“For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.” —Jeremiah 11:13

Somehow or another, the children of the apostate have mistakenly made entertainers and professional athletes people of importance so much so that they have put their idols, players, and teams in the place of Christ (Exodus 20:13; Acts 4:12).

Idol: An image, form or representation, usually of a man or other animal, consecrated as an object of worship; a pagan deity.

In every city in America, we discover idol worship.

The children of the apostate have their own sports icons and mascots with their favorite teams and players. They have football teams, baseball teams, basketball teams, hockey teams, you name it, they have it covered.

They have red & blue devil mascots, demons pigs, chickens, wolves, gophers, badgers, buffaloes, tigers, goats, rams, hawks, bears, eagles, lions, cougars, elephants, ducks, alligators, bulls, long horns, hound dogs, Constellation (stars) mascots, people mascots, kings, sailors, minute men, knights, cowboys, Indians, warriors, mountaineers, colonels, gladiators, miners, Vikings, workmen, Zorro mascots, fruit mascots, keg mascots, car mascots, etc. Also, consider the fact that this just scratches the surface when it comes to the people’s mascots – idols.

All of this idol worship is in the face of Exodus 20:4-5 where it tells us:

“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image (a god to suit your sins), or any likeness of anything that is in Heaven above (constellations), or that is in the earth beneath (man, animals) or that is in the water under the earth.

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me.”

Look at what Paul said to the people in Acts 17:22-27 while confronting them at Mars Hill:

“Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, Him declare I unto you. God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that He is Lord of Heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though He needed any thing, seeing He giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him, and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us.”

In verses 29-31, he adds:

“Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent:

Because He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead.”

Again, sports are just another form of idolatry within the ranks of the apostates. Oh, how they love their sports, and it shows you just where their hearts are at (Matthew 6:21). Scripture tells us in 2 Kings 17:33:

“They feared the LORD, and served their own gods.”

In other words, they said they loved the Lord in being His pretended children, but when it came to the truth of the matter, they served other gods, whom they loved more.

Jesus said in Matthew 15:8, “This people draweth nigh unto Me with their mouth, and honoureth Me with their lips; but their heart is far from Me.”

The country is being led literally into Hell, and they give their time, money, and efforts over to idol worship.

“The wicked (them that know to do the right, but chose to do the wrong) shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” -Psalm 9:16-17

Let me give you an example of this in more detail. Let’s take football worship: This is where we see full grown men with tights on, getting paid millions of dollars by demoralizing sponsorships, fighting over a pig ball. This somehow takes precedent over them standing up and defending their own children. Instead, what do they do through their inactions? They sacrifice them to Molech by whoring themselves out to their favorite idols (Leviticus 20:5).

Think of this, 70 million babies to date have been murdered by their own government, that is with the permission of these apostates that do nothing but stand by and let their said representatives illegally legislate, as they call it, the murder of children (Exodus 20:13; Matthew 24:12). Also, read the 5th Amendment of the Bill of Rights.

On the other hand, if you ever want to see what motivates these hypocrites and what it is that will cause them to stand up and be counted, look at how they react when their favorite team scores a touchdown. You can literally hear their praise and worship of their deities a mile away!

Incense in the Bible is representative to the people’s prayers going up to God. These apostates that occupy these stadiums every Sunday (Exodus 20:8-11), are giving up their counterfeit incense, praise and worship to their idols (players – teams) on the field (altars of Baal, false gods and deities), which the Lord condemns.

“…ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.”

Another motivator for these apostates is how they respond when an official on the football field makes a bad call. Or how about when their favor coach is removed from their favorite team for reasons which they disagree. This seems to be what it takes; only then will they see where their anger and indignation lies. Yes, then, and only then, will you see a quick call to action.

In the state of Minnesota, we find that these are also the same idolaters that are too timid to preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified (1 Corinthians 1:23), but they have no problem with taking off their shirts, painting half their bodies purple, and the other half yellow, all the while, shouting as loud as they can with horns on their heads.

Furthermore, Christians are to put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and this unabashedly (Romans 1:16). In contrast, these apostates will spend $129.00 – 384.00 for a jersey with their favorite players name on it while gloating about. They do this on top of the fact that the average ticket price that it costs them to get into these games is $329.00.

Bold and proud they are with an awkward smirk about their faces, and with much to talk about before and after the game.

At a popular church outside of Minneapolis (Luke 16:15), every football season, they set up the stage behind the pulpit area as a football field with goal posts, and with cheerleaders to boot. They promise the apostates sitting in the pews that they’ll cut the service short lest they break into their idol worship.

In other areas of idol worship, these hypocrites have become so dumbed down that they’ll even go so far as to entertain themselves by watching cars go in a circle 500 times. Really?

How about this one? Golf. This is where a little white ball gets knocked around a grass mowed field, and the spectators and television watchers are anticipating how many swings it will take to get that little ball into a little, tiny hole.

Look at what the apostates have become. Are they ashamed? Not at all (Jeremiah 6:15).

How could it get any worse? Well, it does.

Men are now beating each other up to a literal death in the UFC cage matches. This is just one step away from the colosseums, in which the gladiatorial games (fighting unto death) were played, and where men, women and children were martyred for their faith in Christ.

That is far-fetched, you might say. Do you say this as if to suggest that history does not repeat itself to those who do not learn from history? If this is what your thought was, you are sadly mistaken; We, as a nation, are now on this precipice that is in plain view.

A major beer company back in the 1980s in the United States had created an advertisement that stated, “So many Christians, so few lions.”

Open your eyes (Jeremiah 5:21).

By rejecting the One, true and living God and embracing their idols instead, these apostates, in the natural (1 Corinthians 2:14), are willfully being entertained out of their God-given freedoms (rights), and possibly even their own lives (Deuteronomy 28:66). In the Spirit, they are continuing to gamble with their own souls (spiritual).

Can you imagine these apostates emptying out these stadiums across America (80,000 – 107,000 person capacity), in obedience to the God, that they say they love and serve (Matthew 23:23)? In just one weekend, they could (Zechariah 4:6) change the course of this nation (Matthew 22:37). How many evils could be undone if only they were genuine in their professions (Psalm 94:16).

I ask, should not a disobedient nation be judged for this? Yes, and it is being judged (Deuteronomy 28:63; Jeremiah 5:29).

Even the enemies within are talking. It has been said by those who mean to conquer this nation, “Now is the time to attack, for Americans have made sports their gods,” and so it is (Deuteronomy 28:50).

How does the Lord respond to such idolaters in the time of their need?

“But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.” –Jeremiah 2:28

Matt Gaetz, Denizen of the Deep State

By Kelleigh Nelson

February 13, 2024

When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it. —Frédéric Bastiat

It is the duty of every patriot to protect his country from its government. —Thomas Paine

If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess highest seats in government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin. —Samuel Adams

Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the Government’s purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding. —Louis D. Brandeis

Matthew Louis Gaetz II is an attorney and since 2017, the Congressional Republican Representative of Florida’s first congressional district. Prior to his House seat, he was a member of the Florida House of Representatives from 2010 to 2016.

Don Gaetz, Matt’s father, served in the Florida State Senate from 2006 to 2016 and was the President of the Florida Senate from 2012 to 2014. Late in 2023, Don Gaetz decided he would again run for Florida Senate, and has expressed an eagerness for a “spirited campaign.” In 2004, Don sold Vitas Hospice Services, later accused of Medicaid fraud by the DOJ, for close to half a billion.

In 2023, Matt was well known for being the holdout with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) in the 15^th vote for Speaker Kevin McCarthy. However, he and Boebert did not cast a vote for anyone else which actually lowered the vote McCarthy needed by two and gave him the win.

Gaetz filed the motion to oust Kevin McCarthy for not keeping his promises.

The Congressman has now endorsed Kevin McCarthy as a replacement for Rona McDaniel as Chair of the RNC. McCarthy only voted with the Constitution 50% of the time.

While addressing rumors about his son potentially running for governor in 2026, Don clarified, “Matt’s not pursuing any run for governor. He’s pushing forward tackling budget and spending problems in Washington and fighting for term limits.”

Really? Term Limits? That’s a lie.

Matt Gaetz is promoting a Constitutional Convention via Mark Meckler’s Convention of States (CoS), which is heavily funded by the Koch organizations. He claims the only way to get congressional term limits and a balanced budget amendment, is with another Article V convention.

Term limits and a balanced budget are the catch-all lies for the uninformed electorate.

Both would have dangerous unintended consequences.

Meckler’s Article V convention will not be limited as he claims. Globalist Council on Foreign Relations member, Robert George sits on the board of CoS. He has already rewritten the Second Amendment in our unalienable Bill of Rights.

Personal Life

From Business Insider comes a tell-all story about Matt from a former high school classmate, Erin Scot, when both attended a wedding rehearsal dinner of one of their friends. Scot tells of Matt showing an inappropriate cell photo of a woman he was bedding at the time. In 2021, the House Committee on Ethics investigated numerous accusations against Gaetz, including allegations of sexual misconduct, drug use, and involving the congressman showing colleagues “inappropriate” images on the House floor.

In August of 2021, 39 year old Matt Gaetz married Ginger Luckey, eloping with her to southern California for a private ceremony on Catalina Island. He married while being investigated by the Justice Department as part of a probe into an alleged sex trafficking ring and in an ongoing probe into an alleged sexual relationship with a 17-year-old minor, which he denied.

Gaetz appeared to have found an ally in Florida’s Seminole County tax collector, Joel Greenberg, donating $1,000 to one of his campaigns, and promoting him for higher office in an interview. “If Joel were to run from Seminole Co, I think he’d become the next congressman from the 7th district,” Gaetz told a Florida radio station in 2017.

But the Congressman had come under the microscope after his close friend Joel Greenberg was arrested twice in early 2021. Gaetz was investigated for three distinct crimes: sex trafficking the 17-year-old; violating the Mann Act, which prohibits taking women across state lines for prostitution; and obstructing justice.

According to various news reports, Greenberg told investigators that he saw Gaetz and others have sex with the same 17-year-old he pleaded guilty to sex trafficking.

This news was aired weeks after Gaetz’s former close friend, Joel Greenberg, who sources said agreed to cooperate in the federal probe into Gaetz, was sentenced to 11 years in prison after pleading guilty to crimes including sex trafficking of a minor and introducing her to other “adult men” who also had sex with her when she was underage. Greenberg agreed to provide “substantial assistance” to prosecutors as part of their ongoing investigation.

No charges were filed against Gaetz since proving he had sex with and knew the minor was underage could not easily be proven. Gaetz’ attorneys confirmed the DOJ decision.

In a statement to ABC News, Greenberg’s attorney called the decision not to charge Gaetz “troubling.”

Tucker Carlson interviewed Gaetz after Fox News found out Congressman Gaetz was under federal investigation for playing some role in sex trafficking. After the interview, Carlson spoke to the audience and said, “That was one of the weirdest interviews I’ve ever conducted.”

Matt’s wife, Ginger Luckey, works as a food industry Analyst and Sales Operations & Enablement for Apeel, which is a company funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. James Rogers, CEO and Founder of Apeel Sciences is a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader 2020. The company is approaching the global food waste crisis by utilizing a plant-derived solution to prevent waste — a “sustainable” approach to the world’s growing food demands.

Apeel Sciences develops products for USDA Organic Certified and conventional produce categories. Their mission is to “build a barrier that could be applied to fruits and vegetables using edible materials that could slow down the rate of spoilage.” The ingredients in Apeel have not been publicly shared and the Apeel label is not on all fruits and vegetables with the coating.

Having purchased California avocadoes with this coating, once they felt soft enough to be ripe, when you cut into them, the center is still hard, but the fruit inside the peel is mushy and often rotten.

Gaetz’ Mugshot

Back in 2008, Matt Gaetz was arrested for a DUI when being stopped for doing 48 in a 35-mph zone. He was 26 years old at the time, and the charges were dropped. Some say Gaetz has had up to seven DUIs, but the record only shows one. Gaetz didn’t like the fact that he had a mugshot from the first go around. He promoted efforts to remove mugshots from private websites, and Congressman Greg Steube saw to it in 2018 that mugshots will no longer be available for private websites or pasted across billboards.

Far too many lawmakers rack up speeding tickets. Matthew Gaetz, R-Fort Walton Beach, 32, has been cited for 16 tickets from 1999, to 2014, including one for driving 60 mph in a 35-mph zone on Christmas 2011 in Jackson County.

Gaetz and LGBTQ

Congressman Gaetz will tell you he’s anti-LGBTQ because he claims he’s against “drag queen library hour” with children. However, while in the Florida legislature, Matt succeeded in promoting and passing adoption for LGBTQ individuals.

The Republican Party of Florida is allegedly against any grooming of children in their schools. Yet in 2018, Congressman Gaetz was telling Florida’s Okaloosa Stemm Academy Speech and Debate Class (sixth through eighth graders) why we have to be tolerant of people who don’t fit into societal norms.

Here is the full Facebook video. I’ve transcribed the first minute of Gaetz’ talk:

“Two men and a woman, maybe it’s two women and a man. I don’t believe you deconstruct that fundamental institution, but I also think, that in society, we have to be tolerant of people who don’t fit societal norms. So, I broke with many in my own party, and I authored legislation, to strike from state statues, the ban from gay adoption.

“It is my view that if two loving people were going to create a home that would be safe for someone and would take them out of foster care or would take them out of an environment where they were less safe, then I didn’t think government should stand between a child and a forever home, even if that forever home was with a gay couple. So again, I think this is a generational issue. I think younger people are less judgmental on those questions and so I’m proud to advance rights in an area that’s very pragmatic putting people in a forever home. But I have not signed up for the deconstruction of the family, the traditional family as an institution in America.”

Last August, 2023, Gaetz promoted his National Prayer in School Act saying that the bill will protect the right to pray in schools and stop “degenerate LGBT” propaganda.

Yet, Gaetz is responsible for the bill to allow LGBTQ+ to adopt in Florida.

Betraying Homeschoolers

The following four-minute video exposes how Matt Gaetz betrayed homeschoolers.

In 2015, Florida legislator, Matt Gaetz abandoned orphans, betrayed homeschoolers and threw religious freedom under the bus.

A lower court had stricken the ban on gay adoptions. The amendment to the legislators was simply, “Do you believe it’s right for homosexuals to be able to adopt children? Yes or No?”

Rep. Gaetz added an amendment to the vote, “Do you believe homeschoolers have the right to adopt children? Yes or No.”

Legislators didn’t want to be thrown under the bus for voting against homeschoolers and the bill passed. Homeschoolers were never limited from adoption.

Gaetz used homeschoolers as bait and switch to promote the LGBT agenda. He chose to add the amendment to the homosexual amendment so that it would get passed, and it would deny the rights of the State of Florida to challenge the lower court ruling of whether or not homosexuals have the right to adopt children at the State Supreme Court level.

Legalizing Cannabis

Gaetz’s interest in medical marijuana dates back nearly a decade, when he was a member of the Florida House of Representatives. Well before he would gain national attention for his support of Donald Trump, Gaetz carved out an unusual reputation as a Republican who wanted to liberalize marijuana laws.

In 2018, Gaetz, Dr. Jason Pirozzolo and Halsey Beshears were united in their love of politics, travel and beautiful women. Their other mutual interest was Florida’s $1.2 billion medical marijuana industry.

In 2014, Gaetz co-sponsored the first state effort to legalize medical marijuana. Don Gaetz, who was then serving as president of the Florida Senate said he was “being pummeled” by his son about supporting it. However, other reports have suggested it was Don Gaetz who wanted cannabis legalized.

The day Gaetz’s measure was up for a final debate and vote in Florida’s House of Representatives, both Pirozzolo and Beshears were on the floor. Beshears was a fellow member of the legislature who joined in the support and Pirozzolo, an Orlando hand doctor and pilot was there serving as the “physician of the day for lawmakers.”

In 2016, Gaetz sponsored another measure in the Florida Legislature to expand on it, allowing near-death patients to use non-smokable marijuana of all strengths and doses.

By the time Gaetz was in Congress in 2018, he introduced legislation that would increase the number of entities who could do research on cannabis. The legislation matched what Pirozzolo’s group was promoting to expand research.

Five months later, these men met in the Bahamas.

In 2022, Gaetz filed an amendment that would promote research into the therapeutic potential of psilocybin mushrooms and MDMA as alternatives to opioids for military service members through an annual defense bill. He was seeking to attach the amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). It would build upon another cannabis-focused amendment that was already approved by the House Armed Services Committee.

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) called for a DoD-led study into the efficacy of cannabis as an opioid alternative. Matt wanted to broaden that language to cover psilocybin and MDMA. (See Marijuana Moments)

Forbes reported how legalization of cannabis was moving through the states, but only two of the five states with legalization bills, passed the initiatives.

In January of 2018, I wrote an article about the health consequences of pot smokers in response to the Colorado legalization of marijuana. The effects are overwhelmingly dangerous. Today’s pot is far stronger than it was 20 years ago. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration over 20 years found that the level of THC or tetrahydrocannabinol, marijuana’s main psychoactive ingredient in the marijuana samples they seized, rose from about 4 percent in 1995 to about 12 percent in 2014.

The legalization of pot will lead to young people freely using it.

The downside is that society ends up paying for the results.

Climate Change

When Matt Gaetz was first elected to Congress, he turned heads in early 2017 by promoting the abolition of the Environmental Protection Agency. He now sits on the Climate Solutions Caucus. He actually drafted a resolution which he hopes will be the Republican answer to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “Green New Deal.”

Gaetz tells his constituents and fellow Republicans that “earth is warming, and we should be focused on solutions.”

“I don’t think there’s a scientific debate left to be had on if it is happening,” Gaetz said.

“I also think history is going to judge very harshly climate change deniers, and I don’t want to be one of them.”

Interestingly enough, when Republicans sought to expel Gaetz late last year, AOC came to his defense.

Pensacola News Journal reported, “Gaetz said federal government must fund more university research into global warming while also boosting the budgets of NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to study the issue. He added federal facilities should adopt solar energy.

“Other ideas Gaetz will put forward in his “Green Real Deal” include eliminating regulations that he said block more hydroelectric dams from being built, calling for carbon sequestration by pumping carbon dioxide underground into dried up oil wells and protecting U.S. innovation in green technology from intellectual property theft by other countries like China.”

Co2 is a plant food. We need it to live! Co2 is not causing climate change.

Conservative? Or Denizen of the Deep State?

It’s Trump Vs. Obama in 2024

By Cliff Kincaid

February 13, 2024

I wasn’t sure if Taylor Swift would power the Chiefs to victory in the Super Bowl, but I am completely certain that that Barack Hussein Obama is the key to understanding the fate of Joe Biden. In our new report, The Super Bowl of Elections, I look at both candidates in this presidential election year. It’s Trump Vs. Obama.

Biden has never been a player. He has been a front man all along.

America’s Survival, Inc. had published documentary evidence of Barack Hussein Obama’s communist connections back in 2008. Arizona Senator John McCain, who win the GOP nomination, wasn’t interested in bringing any of that to the public’s attention. He lost an easily winnable race against Obama. In 2012, when Senator Mitt Romney won the nomination and ran against Obama, Joel Gilbert released a popular documentary “Dreams from My Real Father,” drawing on our material and going into substantial detail about Obama’s Marxist roots.

We argued that the right strategy to defeat Obama was to expose his Marxist views, including the role of communist Frank Marshall Davis in molding Obama’s political philosophy. But top Republicans disagreed. GOP “strategist” Karl Rove told Republican donors, “If you say he’s a socialist, they’ll go to defend him. If you call him a ‘far out left-winger,’ they’ll say, ‘no, no, he’s not.’” Rove said that Republicans had to “adopt a respectful tone” in criticizing Obama.

Hence, we got Obama for two terms and then, after a conspiracy was launched to destroy President Trump, the election was rigged to impose Obama’s vice-president, Joe Biden, on the nation.

Trump’s possible return to power threatens to further expose what national security expert J. Michael Waller, in his new book, Big Intel, calls the infiltration of the FBI and the CIA by communist agents. In this extraordinary book, Waller describes his own interactions with a Soviet/Russian spy within the FBI by the name of Robert Hanssen and the failure by the FBI to follow-up on the damage that was done – and which continues.

Waller even had a laptop of messages from Hanssen and received “material of an extremely sensitive nature” from the spy. “Separately, two teams of FBI special agents came to visit me,” He said, “but they didn’t seek the laptop.”

At the time, Waller, the former Annenberg Professor of International Communication at the Institute of World Politics, was trying to educate national security professionals on the techniques of communist infiltration in the U.S. Government.

“What the FBI didn’t want to know” about Hanssen is one of the headlines from this new book. But the CIA didn’t want to know, either.

Even if Biden loses in 2024, the communists never give up. They had several tricks up their sleeves when Trump won in 2016 and they can pull any number of ploys should he win again. We should know that by now.

It was Obama, at the end of his first term, who assured Vladimir Putin of Russia in a “candid” private conversation with his puppet Dmitry Medvedev that he would have more “flexibility” to accommodate Russia during his second term. Then, in 2014, Russia staged its first invasion of Ukraine.

Obama, at the end of his second term, launched Russia-gate against the incoming president, Trump, and visited Chinese President Xi in what the communist media described as “veteran cadres” discussing the future of communism.

Then, as Trump was preparing to run for his second term, China unleashed COVID, enabling swing states dominated by Democrats to rig the presidential election against Trump through mail-in voting.

It was all coordinated in the capitals of Russia and China and arranged through the Obama presidency and subsequent Obama apparatus, now in control of the Biden presidency.

So whether Biden stays or goes, it’s Obama in control.

We MUST Stop Illegal Aliens from Voting

By: Devvy

February 12, 2024

Despite all the conspiracy theories by the MSM and their anchors, all of whom have mental constipation and continue to barf Biden won, the 2020 election counting process was the dirtiest, most massive fraud I’ve ever seen since I started learning about election fraud back in 1993. Fair and equal elections have been stolen from us since the 1960’s.

I’ve written so many columns on this over the decades but the Big Steal in 2020 finally got the attention of tens and tens of millions of voters. If one thinks the 2022 election (selection) process was fair, they would be badly mistaken.

BREAKING: Abe Hamadeh Files Reply in Motion for New Trial In Arizona Attorney General Election Lawsuit – FILING INCLUDED, Feb. 26, 2023. 280 vote “win” for another lying, cheating Democrat. If you do read that article, I hope it makes you very angry. Hamadeh filed an appeal in Sept. 2023: “Although the trial court believed the Arizona Attorney General’s race is “one of the closest elections in Arizona history and perhaps the history of the United States” and that there was critical, potentially outcome determinative evidence withheld by then Secretary of State Katie Hobbs and Maricopa County that could prove Abe Hamadeh received more votes for attorney general than Kris Mayes, it nonetheless denied Hamadeh’s Motion for a New Trial on the specious grounds that election contest statutes are exempt from due process, and that the government can withhold evidence.”

In AZ, their Court of Appeals says it’s perfectly fine Arizona’s government can withhold evidence. Absolutely beyond sickening.

MORE FROM KARI LAKE’S LAWSUIT: 25,000 Ballots Added To Maricopa County’s Vote Totals AFTER Election Day, Dec. 11, 2022 (Lake is running for the Senate and if the same fraud is pulled on voters in 2020 & 2022, she will lose.)

Do ignore the “overturn the election” propaganda. You can’t over turn an election that was “won” based on fraud. Hamadeh was cheated the same as I was in ’94 & ’96 in California when I ran for Congress. Even though people said I should run again I said I will NOT as long as electronic machines and scanners are used to count the vote.

Court refuses to take up Hamadeh’s bid to overturn AG’s race results, Aug. 23, 2023 – The AZ “Supreme Court” sided with fraud.

Election investigator wins lawsuit over 120,000 missing voters – Far fewer people registered to vote in one state than there were ballots counted, Dec. 26, 2022 – “American voters soon may be getting an answer to what happened to the 120,000 people in Pennsylvania who allegedly voted in the 2020 election, but now cannot be found.

“Her “documented evidence showing that Pennsylvania’s 2020 general election results show that there were 120,000 less voters registered to vote in Pennsylvania than there were ballots counted,” the legal team explained. “That’s 120,000 votes that cannot be legally attached to an actual voter,” said Thomas More Society special counsel Tom Breth.”

In a recent column, I was ecstatic to see the RNC had filed a very serious lawsuit in Mississippi: Finally: RNC Files Bombshell Election Lawsuit, Jan. 29, 2024. Federal Elections END at midnight on ELECTION DAY. Those ‘swing’ states (such baloney labels) all violated federal law and a U.S. Supreme Court decision that stands today. The election is consummated ON a single election DAY.

Which brings me around to this – YES!: TGP EXCLUSIVE: ELECTION INTEGRITY CHAMPION and AG Candidate Julianne Murray on How She Won Lawsuit Banning Mail-In Voting in Delaware — VIDEO – “The Delaware Supreme Court ruled on Friday that mail-in voting is unconstitutional in the state. It was a unanimous decision!” READ.

As I pointed out in a recent column, we fought like hell to stop the Motor Voter Law in 1993. State legislatures for years have been violating federal immigration law by allowing ILLEGAL aliens obtain driver’s licenses along with the bonus of signing up to vote with zero verification of anything about the person registering.

ILLEGAL aliens are NOT U.S. citizens. They have NO right to be on U.S. soil much less vote for elected officials at all levels in OUR country. But it’s been going on for decades. Along with this (which I’ve cited so many times): Illegal aliens: declaring war on the enablers (Mine) April 30, 2010:

“Why hasn’t the Director of the U.S. Census Bureau been indicted? February 2, 2010

“Keeping with the Obama Administration’s mission to conduct the most diverse outreach campaign in history, the director of the U.S. Census Bureau is touring Mexican border towns with high illegal immigrant populations to personally assure that those who fill out questionnaires this spring will not be deported.

“This is a safe thing for everyone to do regardless of your immigration status,” the president’s handpicked census director (Robert Groves) told residents of a renowned illegal alien “colonia” in south Texas this week. He visited several dilapidated makeshift homes off of a dirt road in a Laredo neighborhood called San Carlos to stress that census data will be kept confidential and not turned over to immigration authorities.”

My fellow Americans – THIS is a direct result of allowing ILLEGAL aliens to fill out census forms. Make damn sure they get a cut of YOUR paycheck while your family goes without. GOP gas bags in the Outlaw Congress should have put a stop to this decades ago when they held the majority in both chambers of Congress and the White House.

The Impact of Legal and Illegal Immigration on the Apportionment of Seats in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2020, Dec. 19, 2019 – VERY important read (Emphasis mine). “Under current policy all persons — not just citizens — are included in the population count when apportioning seats to states in the U.S. House of Representatives and for votes in the Electoral College, which is based on House seats.”

Republicans held the majority in both the House and Senate for 18 months under Trump and NOTHING was done to keep the cancer from spreading.

2010: Republicans take House control. Republicans: 242; Democrats: 193. The lying, cheating constitutionally ineligible Marxist, Hussein Obama played president. But, on a straight party vote, Republicans could have over ridden his vetoes. Oh, can’t do that. It might be racist.

1994: Republicans take House control. Republicans: 230; Democrats: 204. Another Marxist[1] narcissist, liar, cheat and life long adulterer, Billy Clinton was president. With a majority, the GOP could have cleaned up a lot of fraud magnets in our voting process. They did NOTHING. But, then again, the shadow government wouldn’t be able to shoe-in their selections. (Majority in Congress from 1899 – 2021.)

The all- important Electoral College. Now, we have approximately 7 MILLION+ illegal aliens cross the border since fake president Biden was unlawfully sworn into office. That’s not counting the ‘get aways’. Of course, a couple million are probably minors, but you can bet your last dime the filthy, dirty bastards in the Democrat/Communist Party USA are going all out to get illegals registered to vote in every precinct possible in this country.

All those illegals voting for free everything, bankrupting hospitals, crushing our health care system, cheating American children out of a real education by overloading ILLEGAL minors from more than 100 countries, free food, housing – you name it. Who do you think they’re going to vote for? Not to mention the new crime wave from rapists, murderers, thieves and terrorists who’ve crossed our border and unleashed into cities and towns all over this country.

(What I warned about in my Jan.8, 2024 column): MUST WATCH: Ohio Sheriff Richard Jones Issues Stark Warning After Meeting with FBI Dir. Chris Wray on Illegal Immigration — More Terror Threats Now Than Before 9/11: “It’s Not a Matter of If, It’s a Matter of When”

Texas Democrats ask noncitizens to register to vote, Oct.18, 2018: “The Texas Democratic Party asked non-citizens to register to vote, sending out applications to immigrants with the box citizenship already checked “Yes,” according to new complaints filed Thursday asking prosecutors to see what laws may have been broken.

“The Public Interest Legal Foundation alerted district attorneys and the federal Justice Department to the pre-checked applications, and also included a signed affidavit from a man who said some of his relatives, who aren’t citizens, received the mailing.

“This is how the Texas Democratic Party is inviting foreign influence in an election in a federal election cycle,” said Logan Churchwell, spokesman for the PILF, a group that’s made its mark policing states’ voter registration practices.”

Mexican national pleads guilty to illegal voting in Harris County (TX), Sept. 13, 2018 – “Laura Janeth Garza, a 38-year-old Mexican national, was handed a 10-year jail sentence, a $10,000 fine and will be deported after serving her jail time.”

Think this isn’t in the big states like TX, CA, NY, FL and others? It sure as hell is and our AG Ken Paxton has been a super charged leader in going after illegals voting. In Democrat/Communist Party USA states like MN, MI and others, they want illegals voting to keep them in power.

7 Facts About Noncitizens Illegally Voting in Texas – What Texans need to know about the tens of thousands of non-U.S. citizens found on Texas voter rolls. Jan. 28, 2019

“Texas’ top election official revealed Friday that 95,000 individuals identified in the Texas Department of Public Safety database as non-U.S. citizens have registered to vote in Texas, and 58,000 of those have voted in one or more Texas elections. Here’s what Texans need to know about the Secretary of State’s findings:

#1: No one verifies citizenship of people registering to vote.

“Under current state law, it’s easy for noncitizens to improperly register to vote. The process relies on an honor system — applicants simply check a box on the registration form stating they’re a U.S. citizen. Once submitted, no one verifies citizenship status.

#2: State officials have failed to keep noncitizens off Texas voter rolls.

“Election integrity advocates have long called for adding citizenship safeguards to the registration system. Yet state officials failed to act until testimony before a state Senate panel in February 2018 publicly revealed noncitizen voting as a “significant problem” in Texas.”

State Official: 58,000 Non-US Citizens Voted in Texas Elections, Jan. 25, 2019 – “In an alarming statement, Texas Secretary of State David Whitley revealed:

“For the past year, the Texas Secretary of State’s office has worked closely with the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to evaluate information regarding persons identified to not be citizens of the United States. This voter registration list maintenance activity is being conducted in accordance with federal and state law to ensure that only qualified voters – who must first and foremost be U.S. citizens – are registered to vote in Texas elections.

“Through this evaluation, the Texas Secretary of State’s office discovered that a total of approximately 95,000 individuals identified by DPS as non-U.S. citizens have a matching voter registration record in Texas, approximately 58,000 of whom have voted in one or more Texas elections.”

“The voting records evaluated go back to 1996, a year after the National Voter Registration Act (also known as the “Motor Voter” law) went into effect requiring states to offer voter registration by mail-in application and as part of driver’s license applications.” Rest at link.

Trump’s people got blown to smithereens between electronic voting/counting machines and human precinct workers who had no problem cheating in 2020. They’re no better than thieves who rob a bank.

In 1996, B-1 Bob Dornan, a popular GOP U.S. House rep allegedly lost his race to an illegal alien, Loretta Sanchez (who visited the tittie farm known as Hugh Hefner’s palace looking for money for her charities). Of course, Dornan challenged the vote but somewhere along the way, a forensic analysis wasn’t done and Sanchez served in OUR Congress until 2016.

In 1997/1998 (I forget which year but I still have all the documents) when my late husband and I lived in Sacramento, CA., I went downtown (10 minutes away) to the Birth Records Division, paid the $18.00 to get a copy of Sanchez’s birth certificate. No record in any form of her being born in Lynwood, CA., a suburb of LA. I asked the clerk to please do another search. Nope.

So, off I went down south to the hospital where she was allegedly born and to their city records office. No birth certificate on file either in Lynwood or LA county. Oh, yes, I had her parents name as well as her six siblings.

Then off to two big libraries. Combed through microfilm from the year she was allegedly born in Lynwood, Calif. and for two years prior and two years after her alleged birth date. Not a single newspaper had an announcement of birth. Back to Sacramento to the Birth Records Division and a chat with one of the public servants there. Left me alone for a few minutes and came back with – Drum Roll! – a nice shiny birth certificate no one could locate only the week before. Well, imagine that. Something I did tripped an alarm.

United States Attorney General from 2005 to 2007, Alberto Gonzales, admitted his grandparents could have been illegals. Could have been? Well, Alberto, as the U.S. Attorney General it wouldn’t have taken much for you to verify their legal status because if they were, your parents were also here illegally and so you would also be an illegal alien not the fiction called an anchor baby. Fine vetting job by the U.S. Senate at the time.

Oops: Report: Ex-AG Gonzales Mishandled Classified Info, Sept. 7, 2008 – “The Justice Department’s inspector general has found that Alberto Gonzales mishandled top secret documents. The 29-page report released today says that the former attorney general risked exposing some of the nation’s top secrets…

“At home, Gonzales acknowledged, he did not put the material into his own safe because he had forgotten the combination, nor does he remember whether he locked his briefcase. In the years that followed, Gonzales stored this information and 17 other documents that the inspector general discovered in a safe outside his Justice Department office that also was not designated as protected for such top-secret material.

“The report includes that the safe was accessible to more than a half dozen Gonzales staff members who did not have clearance to see such material.

“California Congresswoman Jane Harman, who served as ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, recalls that none of the members of Congress who were briefed about the surveillance program – none of them was allowed to take notes or to tell anyone else about what they had learned…

“Gonzales is hardly the only person to get in deep trouble over mishandling top-secret information. Career Justice Department lawyers who have made such careless mistakes have sometimes seen their careers ruined. And former CIA Director John Deutch, who wrote intelligence reports on his home computer, avoided criminal charges for mishandling information when he was pardoned by President Clinton.” (Gonzales resigned.)

He couldn’t remember? Must be a kissin-cousin of old Joe Biden. Could Biden Face Charges? The Alberto Gonzales Precedent Says Not, Jan. 19, 2023. Gonzales was not indicted, prosecuted or slapped on the wrist. But, President-Elect Donald Trump had his home raided for political reasons, indicted and now awaiting that trial down in Florida.

From the article above: “There is no evidence to date that Biden had any knowledge that government documents were taken from the White House or any intent to take any government documents from the White House, let alone classified government documents.” Well, the world has seen all the photos of boxes of scattered top secret classified documents in the basement and the same for classified documents for the withdrawal from Afghanistan in your garage, Joe, right behind your Corvette. How could he not know they were there?

State GOP presidents should put out a ‘how to’ NOW to every GOP County Chapter in their state to stop illegals from voting. This week I intend to talk with our Commissioners Court Judge (I voted for him and have spoken with him on a few occasions) for our county. This is a “red” county but I want to know how up to date the voting rolls are regarding who’s registered in this county.

Found during the Dornan weak investigation on voter registration cards: A. Martinez, B. Martinez, C. Martinez, D. Martinez, L. Lopez, M. Lopez, N. Lopez – lots of them. All bogus addresses; empty lots or businesses. If you’re a precinct captain get some volunteers down to your county clerk’s office and start asking questions.

Judicial Watch has successfully sued many states that have NOT cleaned up their voting rolls: Judicial Watch Sues Colorado to Force Clean Up of Voter Rolls, Oct. 5, 2020: “In its lawsuit against Colorado Judicial Watch argues: A 2019 study showed that 40 of Colorado’s 64 counties had voter registration rates exceeding 100% of the eligible citizen voting-age population. The share of Colorado counties with registration rates exceeding 100% was the highest in the nation.” DC Removing 103,000 Ineligible Names from the Voter Rolls in Response to Judicial Watch, Dec. 8, 2023. (Americans need to raise hell with their county clerk and county commissioners for failing to make sure elections are fair. Vote them out of office for being incompetent.)

Judicial Watch Study: 1.8 Million Extra Registered Voters, Oct. 16, 2020 – right before the Big Steal. That’s another question for your county clerk on Election Day: How many registered voters in this county? Number of Republicans, number of Democrats. I can tell you over the past 30 years, the number of voters and the number of votes cast don’t match up over and over and over around the country.

Good news, good news, great news, Feb. 10, 2024 – Commit today to work in your local elections in 2024. We’re all in this together. “And Great News. Fair Fight appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, asking the court to overturn True the Vote’s recent victory against them in the Federal District Court. You can read more about the case here.

“Why is this great news? Though we don’t relish the thought of going back to court, the upside is worth it because at the Appeals Court, we can establish case law that will impact the nation.” See the X quick clip embedded.

Fair and impartial elections is a fairy tale. Satan’s Pimps are out for Trump’s blood and will do anything to keep him from winning in November as well as highly qualified candidates for the House and Senate. Only WE can prevent another obscene steal during the upcoming primaries and general election AND stop MILLIONS of ILLEGAL ALIENS from voting in OUR elections.

Candidates and all your supporters, volunteers and donors: Don’t let the evil doers get away with stealing the primaries and general election again in November. ILLEGAL aliens must be purged from voting rolls. Boots on the ground.

Trump’s election team darn well better be prepared this time or it’s game over for our republic. Yeah, I know you’re tired and busy and so am I, but the global masters are ruthless and evil. They’re in a real bind right now regarding keeping corrupt Joe Biden as the Democrat/Communist Party USA nominee. Even their big money donors don’t want that nitwit, Kamala Harris in the Offal Office. (Harris, like Obama, is constitutionally ineligible.)

Joe Biden and Alzheimer’s Disease Along with Jill Biden’s Coverup

By Frosty Wooldridge

February 12, 2024

After the disastrous Friday DOJ report on Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents, he stood in front of the nation in a press conference to tell us that he talked to one world leader in Egypt thinking that leader was from Mexico. Biden made nonsensical gaffes, memory lapses, dropped sentences, misstatements and outright lies.

The DOJ found him to be an “elderly man with a fading memory” who would not be prosecuted for his crimes. In the national interview, Biden said, “My memory is fine.” One major newspaper reported, “Biden’s memory is hazy, fuzzy and dull.”

Immediately, ABC reported the latest poll on Biden’s popularity: 86 percent of Americans do not want Biden for a second term as president of the United States.” He’s too old, too feeble, too cognitively vacant, too unfit, and incapable of handling the rigors of a United States president.

This journalist would add that Joe Biden’s lifetime of lies, plagiarism, racism, sniffing little girls’ hair, and shaking hands with the air has finally caught up to him.

But what blows my mind stems from the fact that no one will pin the “reality tail” on the donkey of Joe Biden’s condition: he’s suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease. If he took a cognitive test today, he wouldn’t score five out of 25 on that test.

How do I know? Answer: my best friend suffers from Alzheimer’s Disease. My best friend has been reduced to the intellect of a six year old. My best friend cannot tell time, does not understand money, doesn’t know what year it is, and cannot remember any friends’ names.

My best friend cannot finish sentences, and many times, starts sentence, but forgets the point, and waits for a minute that you could drive an 18-wheeler through before my friend finishes that sentence.

In other words, my best friend duplicates exactly what Joe Biden shows every time he gets up in front of public without his teleprompter. His press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, lies for him, covers for him, and pretends that he’s got his wits about him. He does not. She will prove the most deceitful and incompetent presidential press secretary in history.

But let’s dig further in Joe Biden’s mental incapacitation. Like I know about my best friend’s Alzheimer’s Disease and ALL of its manifestations, Jill Biden knew three years ago that Joe Biden suffered from Alzheimer’s. He was not fit for the presidency in 2020. That’s now proven to be the case horrifically as to our borders being invaded, our laughingstock standing in the world, our loss of the rule of law, our national opioid crisis killing 100,000 annually because drug cartels enjoy our open borders and free drug distribution into every city in America, our citizens shooting up schools, $100 billion in shoplifting annually, Ukraine and Israel fighting for their lives, national debt accelerating, climate change accelerating, et al.

And now that his disease takes him down a dark road that darkens more and more each day, Jill can’t hide it. But what has she done? Answer: she leads him off the stage when he can’t tell which way to go. She refuses to tell the American public that her husband cannot speak two sentences together than make any sense. She’s the ultimate “power broker” who clings to power over the good of America. In Latin, it’s called “hubris.” In hers and her husband’s situation, it’s called, “Super-Hubris.”

What Biden has done to our country in three short years should be brought up as “Treason.” He’s broken our laws. He’s used the DOJ like a Banana Republic to imprison any opponents. He’s tripped going up steps on Air Force One, he’s fallen of his bicycle, he’s mangled the English language, he’s worse than Pinocchio, and he’s become a doddering, walking cadaver of an old man on the doorstep of death from a stroke, heart attack, cancer or just falling over dead at any moment.

And yet, the mainstream media, and the liberal talking heads make excuses for him. They defend him. They spew so much B.S. as to his “vitality” that it’s no wonder most Americans don’t believe any of them…i.e., NPR, PBS, Scarborough, Reid, Tapper, Meet the Press, Face the Nation, Maddox and a dozen more liberal pundits. They are so full of it, that their eyes are brown!

Right now, in Sanctuary City New York, it costs taxpayers in one hotel with 1,300 rooms, a whopping $500.00 per room, per night for illegal aliens to sleep. Then, we taxpayers must shell out three meals a day for at least $50.00 a day in food. For the rooms, that $650,000.00 of your taxpayer dollars per night for those rooms. Then, the food at $50.00 times two people per room, at 1300 rooms, equals $130,000.00 every friggin’ day those illegal aliens stay in that New York City hotel. Multiply that times 11 million of them across our country!

Right now, we have seen 11,000,000 illegal alien refugees enter our country during Biden’s first 37 months. He invited them. Last month, another 300,000 of those refugees arrived at our southern border to become wards of your tax dollars. How long do you think we’re going to survive this invasion brought to us by Joe Biden who will not be around to see the chaos, the mayhem, the lawlessness, and the outright displacement of the American people from that endless line of criminals, illiterates, and hopeless refugees who arrived from their own countries that they didn’t try to change toward positive situations?

How much longer can Jill Biden pretend? How much longer can Joe Scarborough fake it with sincerity? How much longer can Joe Biden pretend that he’s president of our country? How much longer can his handlers cling to power? How much longer can the American people be fooled into giving their country away?

Oh, and whomever won the Super Bowl…remember that it was only entertainment! It’s more important to win our country back!

Who Owns America’s Lands?

By Sidney Secular

February 12, 2024

Before the discoveries of Columbus, America was considered a new and unsettled land. No one, even the Indians themselves considered it their exclusive domain. It was first come, first served, or “finders keepers” as far as who got to utilize or get to claim a particular plot of land. Indeed, the Indians themselves did not believe in the concept of private property in which land could be claimed as belonging to someone in perpetuity and this is revealed by the constant wars that saw different tribes moving into and out of areas when they were stronger than the indigenous people (into) or found themselves weaker than larger, more warlike tribes (out of).

The Indians treated both life and land as being on loan from “The Great Spirit” to be used for the purpose of living. This is why tribal life changed so little over the centuries. Of course, Indian power struggles went on long before and after the advent of the “white man” though they did recognize certain areas as not being within their sway. One large plot of land in what became Pennsylvania was asked by whites of those Indians whom the whites believed “owned” that land, were told that the land did not belong to that tribe but rather to an ancient warlike people who were giants with red hair! To the Indians, even though these rather ferocious folk were no more, they refused to stake any claim to territory! With most land issues involving the Indians, no one had special right to the utilization of a particular territory unless the tribe occupied it for a continuous period of at least one year.

The term “Native American” is recently created leftist lingo to “prove” that the Indians are now first in line to receive GovMint bennies and deference because they were supposedly the first here. No one really knows who was the first anywhere because of humanity’s mostly nomadic ways over a long periods of time. “Hunter gatherers” – as were most humans before the advent of efficient agriculture – had to move according to the disbursement and/or migration of game and the availability of such food as grew naturally such as nuts and berries. It is just coming to light, and still largely unknown, that ancient advanced white civilizations existed in prehistoric periods and early records reveal that these peoples arrived in the Americas about the same time the “Native Americans!” One such group might well have been the giant redhaired folks in Pennsylvania, but whatever the case, this reveals that the “Indians” have no special place as first in line for the dole or undue deference. Furthermore, it doesn’t matter who was first anyway, as that is of no consequence when it comes to today’s realities except as it can be used to repudiate and disfranchise whites!

In a sort of oblique attempt to dislodge and disinherit “Anglo-America” (as American whites are sometimes called) from ownership of the great majority of the land that is called America, we experience leftist jabs and jabber claiming that we illegally or unfairly took over what rightfully belonged to the Indians – which cannot be the case based on the Indians’ own laws (as we have seen), natural concepts of territorial expansion and biological defense as we see in the animal world. In fact, the White World’s concept of real estate and the ability of individuals to own property is a better guarantee of actual ownership to every individual whatever his or her race or background. Using property laws, people can claim and utilize their property without someone taking from them simply because they are more powerful. Of course, even this “constitutional guarantee” is under attack as our present government moves to remove all such “rights” from white and Indian alike.

On the other hand, the Indians believed that might equals right, and that the most powerful of two tribes, peoples, or alliances of peoples had the right to conquer and subdue the weaker sometimes even to the point of extinction. Thus, in colonial and early American days, any objection to white settlement and expansion had more to do with the immediate influence on the particular tribe than any overarching concept of “ownership.” Indeed, the Indians often sought what they believed to be the strongest white group to help them not only against other whites but against their own Indian enemies. A study of the so-called French and Indian war gives a very clear view of the entire white-Indian situation extant on the continent prior to the American revolution. Eventually, the only real objection was that whites broke their treaties with the Indians providing that the latter were entitled to keep certain lands as their own. This was sometimes true but it often, at least in colonial times, involved a change not in the Indian vs. white situation as the white vs. white situation (see the above French and Indian War!). Eventually, however, it was the tremendous increase of immigration from Europe that occurred after the American Revolution that upset the balance between whites and the so-called “native Americans.” Once America as a government and a people had adopted the concept of “Manifest Destiny*,” the fate of the Indian as far as holding any large tracts of land was sealed. (*see below)

In the beginning of white settlement and expansion, the whites largely respected the right of the Indians to occupy and utilize the lands on which they had settled although in truth, only the French of European settlers seemed to be willing to permit the Indian as an inhabitant of the land with an equal right to maintain his place and way of life. The English and the Spanish saw their own way of life as superior to that of any non-European and as a result, frequently became involved in nasty local wars between both groups. But what has been obscured from this debate today is that the lands under discussion constituted only 3% of the overall land mass of the continent, with the remainder open to “first come, first served” settlement with little objection or pushback as initial occupation occurred. Even much of the aforesaid 3% were areas that the Indians temporarily occupied in their mainly nomadic way of life and to which they never laid any permanent claim. They did not understand the need to claim what, to them, had always been and would always be open to their use and passage. When the Indians did “settle” and were not simply nomadic, they also believed that any land not settled for at least a year (12 moons) was free for anyone else to claim in the “might equals right” understanding of the situation.

Most so-called Indian wars were initially precipitated when the Indians attempted to destroy already well anchored or established white communities without warning or justification. This occurred regularly in New England and northern areas so the colonists felt justified in pushing the Indians out of the way as their settlements expanded. In the Virginia colony, which initially encompassed most of the Middle-Atlantic area westward to Kentucky, there was no proclivity to displace the Indians just because it could be done, and the colonists initially took a defensive posture. It was only when the Jamestown colony was attacked nearly right from the start in 1607, and more massively in 1622 and later in 1644, that the whites lost their patience, and started proactively pushing the Indians back in self-defense and self-preservation. These attacks had nearly decimated the newly created white settlements. But we must also remember that whites themselves were largely to blame for Indian attacks in the so-called Ohio Territory west of the Appalachia Mountains when both the French and the British used Indians as allies in their war! And this also resulted in Indian tribes making war on each other depending upon which side a tribe supported but often that support was given based upon those tribes already considered enemies! This was not an Indian vs. white war, but a war with both Indians and whites fighting each other!

The modern libber narrative that the Indians were a peaceful people who only hunted, lived off the land, and made colorful jewelry, clothes and pottery until the whites came along and massacred them is a total fabrication! The white race has both moral and legal rights to the Western Hemisphere (including America) according to international law (genocide prevention), Indian custom, and the law of nature (basic survival, the requirement to obtain adequate living space for survival, and survival of the strongest and/or fittest), or a combination of these laws or factors. Mankind has, from the beginning, waged war for a place to live. The truly amazing thing is that as the population of people rises, there is less and less of such wars as people learn to live in (reasonable) peace and to find better things to do with our time than kill for a plot of land – at least for now. But whites must stop feeling guilty about the expansion of Western civilization, a matter that has made the life of all mankind infinitely better through knowledge and moral decency.

American Progress (1872) by John Gast is an allegorical representation of the modernization of the new west. Columbia, a personification of the United States, is shown leading civilization westward with the American settlers. She is shown bringing light from east to west, stringing telegraph wire, holding a book representing learning and knowledge, and highlighting different stages of economic activity and evolving forms of transportation. On the left, Indigenous Americans are displaced from their ancestral homeland.

Manifest destiny was a phrase in the 19th-century United States that represented the belief that American settlers were destined to expand westward across North America, and that this belief was both obvious (“manifest”) and certain (“destiny”). The belief was rooted in American exceptionalism and Romantic nationalism, implying the inevitable spread of the Republican form of governance. It was this “spirit” that grew in the early Republic that led to much of the grief that followed.

We Will Choose Liberty or Slavery

By Reverend Glynn Adams

February 11, 2024

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God. (2 Corinthians 10:3-5)

“Why are the nations in an uproar and the peoples devising a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against His anointed.” (Psalms 2:1-2)

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being my priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.” (Hoses 4:6)

Most people in America are rejecting God’s knowledge and God’s law so is it any wonder we have so much false doctrine among our pastors and the Body of Christ and we are losing our nation?!!! Just like God who gave Adam and Eve a paradise, our Founding Fathers and God gave us a Republic. We followed the ways of God, protected our nation but like Adam and Eve, we stop listening to God and we no longer followed God’s ways and Satan moved in on us as he did Adam and Eve and we have lost our paradise!!!

In America, the citizens and Body of Christ have watched for over 60 years evil men who declared war on our freedoms and liberty and we have seen our God dethroned, our culture polluted, our values assaulted, and our nation invaded. We have been demonized as extremists and bigots for holding on to beliefs we have held for generations. What has most of the citizens and Body of Christ done; we have hidden our heads in the sand and refused to resist this evil tyranny assaulting our nation? We are our own worst enemy!!!!

Our nation is being destroyed for a lack of knowledge of our Constitution and the Bible and we have decisions to make and quickly. WE THE PEOPLE of this nation will determine our destiny. We must decide if we want liberty or slavery. To retain our liberty, we must repent and return to God and use the spiritual weapons our God has provided each of us to defend our liberty and rights. To end up with tyranny and slavery, remain on the same course we are on at this very hour and we will lose everything!!! God is not going to do for us what He commanded us to do. If we will repent and show up at the battlefield, God will show up also. God brought down the walls of Jericho but Joshua and God’s people had to go to Jericho and do what God said to do!!! God is the same yesterday, today, and forever!!!

“What is liberty? The purpose of the Constitution, as the Preamble establishes, is to “Preserve the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” Thomas Jefferson said, “……the true protective barriers of our liberty in this country are our State Governments.” From the mid-1800s to President Obama, our presidents, our congress, our churches and our educational institutions have failed us in regard to liberty. Just what do we mean by liberty? When our Founding Fathers put together our founding documents to form our government, they had only one thing in mind – LIBERTY.

Our Founding Fathers relied heavily on 700 years of blood bought history of governments to form a Republic where WE THE PEOPLE had the liberty, power and authority to control the Federal Government not the government having the power to control WE THE PEOPLE. Our Founders had lived under the tyranny of repressive kings and governments and did not want us to have to use the sword to reign in the Federal Government so they gave WE THE PEOPLE safeguards to control the Federal Government. When the Founders thought of liberty, they thought of a people with liberty to govern themselves with freedom from repression and tyranny. “Our Founders knew that Liberty is a combination of two equally important parts – it is FREEDOM under the constraints of a SHARED MORALITY. Liberty cannot survive where there is pure freedom. Pure freedom is man doing whatever is right in his own mind regardless of what it does to others: cheat, lie, steal, murder. Pure freedom is chaos. At the same time, Liberty cannot survive with moral law alone. Moral law not mingled with freedom is theocracy. Theocracy in the hands of men is tyranny in the name of religion. Our Founders attempted to give us this balance and secure the blessings of Liberty for us in our founding documents. When we abandon our founding documents and disregard our moral foundations as we are doing today, Liberty is put in peril.” (Sovereign Duty by KrisAnne Hall)

We read in II Corinthians 3:17, “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty.” For the Christian who is filled with the Spirit of Lord, he or she has perfect liberty because the Holy Spirit restrains you. You will not harm your fellow man and you will do what is right to your fellow man. Our Founders envisioned the citizens governing themselves in liberty with morality and virtue which meant that such a government would not harm their fellow citizens and would do what is right to their fellow citizens. Thomas Jefferson warned, “Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift from God?”

Our nation must fight harder against this constant struggle to evermore expand the boundaries of Liberty while we must do more to push back the tyranny of the power hungry and the amoral in this nation. Today our ignorance, apathy, corruption, greed, deceit and gross immorality threaten to overwhelm the safeguards erected by our Founding Fathers. We must get some understanding of what we are losing and that we have allowed the Federal Government to grow in power way too much. It is imperative we grow some backbone and courage and make a tireless effort to return this nation to balance. At this very hour we are losing our freedoms and liberty and we are at break neck speed gaining bondage and tyranny in its place.

More and more every day we are becoming subjects of the despot’s kingdom rather than citizens of a Republic. If we don’t learn anew that we have an exceptional nation where we have certain unalienable rights and this nation was birthed on the principle that the power was to be held by, WE THE PEOPLE and never the government, our way of life will be lost. Since the birth of our principles of freedom and morality, America with all of its imperfections, has been the haven of opportunity and rest to millions while tyrants and despots around the world continue to oppress their own.

God awaken us to remember that through the Word of God and our Constitution we have a nation worth fighting for but today we are in a process of losing our freedoms to defend self, our property, and our Liberty. We are losing our freedoms because we refuse to defend our freedoms from these despots. But we must never forget there are despots among us seriously trying to destroy our sacred documents and when they do, our foundation will be lost. Then the whole structure in America will crumble under the weight of this unbridled tyranny already working in this nation. Without America there is no freedom and the world will be cast into total darkness.

If you will notice this article is considerable shorter. What else can I or anyone say that has not already been said? But we remain disengaged, apathetic, disobedient, and deceived while tyranny continues its rule over us. We are our own worst enemy. Klaus Schwab and the New World Order elites and the Democrats are not the ones destroying America but the citizens and pastors who sat on their ass, embrace religion and disobey God and make little to no effort to resist this tyranny in our nation and allow evil to reign over us in our nation without little to no opposition.

Because our culture and nation are now full of demons, demonic strongholds, high places, and the exponential temptations that are available to each child and adult, it is becoming very difficult to live the quality of life we once enjoyed in America. Even Jesus promised His faithful followers they would be hated, persecuted, and sent out as lambs among wolves. If you want things to change in America, then every follower of Jesus Christ as well as citizens are going to have to get involved in this spiritual war raging in our nation. We can start by repenting of our apathy and deception and turn back to the ways of God.

The Book of James is clear that we are to submit to God and resist the devil and he will flee from you. Peter says we are to be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil prowls about like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour – but resist him!!! If God warns us to beware of an adversary who wants to devour us and we ignore him. If God says to submit to Him and resist the devil and he will flee from us but we ignore what God says, then we are in blatant disobedience in the Body of Christ.

We are not listening to God and we are ignoring Satan which is a fatal combination and unfortunately our citizens are too blind, deceived, disobedient and apathetic to see it!!! What else can be said? Satan knows he has only a short time left on this earth; he is busy and most of our citizens of America are asleep and deceived!!! God bless, I remain His warrior and watchman, —Glynn Adams

Globalist Babylon Is Coming

By Rob Pue

February 11, 2024

Recently, I wrote a message titled “Babylon the Great Is Fallen.” In that message, I erroneously stated that “Mystery Babylon” was mentioned in Revelation 18. Since that time, I’ve done a much deeper study on the subject and there are some things I’d like to clarify here.

First of all, “Mystery Babylon” is not mentioned in Revelation 18, but specifically in Revelation 17. “Mystery Babylon” describes the “great whore,” upon whose forehead was written “Mystery, Babylon the Great, The Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth.”

As I have learned, this “Mystery Babylon” is the coming one-world religion… a false religion, worshiping false gods. A great abomination. As we read in Revelation 17, this “woman” that John saw in his vision was “drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.” So, Revelation 17 describes “Mystery Babylon” as spiritual Babylon — a coming together of false religions from all over the world; as I said, a coming “one-world religion.”

This spiritual “Mystery Babylon” is already coming together; indeed, already in place. You would do well to study on the topics of the “Parliament of World Religions,” or the “World Council of Churches.” Here in Wisconsin, we have the “Wisconsin Council of Churches,” a branch of the “World Council of Churches.” But these are not Christian churches; they’re apostate in every respect. They advocate for everything God considers an abomination, under the guise of “Christianity.” Be not deceived by them.

Last year, the Parliament of World Religions held their annual meeting in Chicago. The event opened with a thing called “Sacred Fire: Greeting the Day Prayer and Fire Offering.” Other sessions during this conference focused on “Bhawana Yog – Guided Meditation.” Many sessions were held addressing the topic of combating “Climate Change,” there was a session called “Seed The Earth Altar in the Women’s Village,” a session was held titled “Going Beyond Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.” And not to mention the one titled “The Spear Within – The Staff is Passed to the Feminine.” And these are just a few of the sessions on the first day of the five-day event.

The entire convention was replete with sessions on feminism, climate change, pagan rituals, globalism, earth worship — honoring “Mother Earth,” esteeming science over sound theology, “interspecies justice,” which dealt with the worship of animals, transgenderism, homosexuality, and I could go on. Over 8,000 people attended, from more than 95 countries, representing more than 210 different religions.

Please understand, that the entire premise behind “Babylon” has always been a one-world order, a one-world government and one-world religion. In other words, as we know it today, “Globalism.” But God Almighty does not embrace “globalism.” He destroyed the tower of Babel and the city of Babylon because it was wicked, and sought to deceive people, drive them away from the one true Creator of the universe, and ultimately Jesus Christ, our Savior. But that spirit of Babylon is rising again in today’s world — at an alarming pace.

Today, spiritual Babylon of Revelation 17 is being established through things like the “Parliament of World Religions” and the “World Council of Churches.” Not to mention, the Roman Catholic pope, standing hand-in-hand with Islam, even as he endorses homosexuality and transgenderism. We also have the modern American churches, most of which have become apostate as well, with a “form of godliness but denying the power thereof.” “Making the Word of God of none effect,” through traditions, trends and tactics designed to simply fill the seats by pastors using “soft words,” that tickle itching ears.

No doubt, a one-world religion is coming. The leadership of the World Economic Forum has even suggested that a new “proper” Bible may soon be written by Artificial Intelligence. No doubt, this “new Bible” will be all-inclusive, mixing the pagan with the holy, or removing the holy altogether as it will likely teach we must worship and serve created things, rather than the Creator.

But we should also be mindful of Revelation 18, which describes “Babylon the Great.” This is no mystery. This is economic Babylon — yet still described and named “Babylon,” and still representing Globalism, a “new-world order,” a “one-world system.” After the one-world religion is destroyed by God, the economic system of “Babylon the Great” is next.

We read, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit…for all nations have drunk the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.”

Here, Babylon the Great is about to be destroyed by God. But John hears another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins and that ye receive not of her plagues.” These exact same words were used in Jeremiah 51, when God warned His people to leave the city of Babylon before He destroyed it. God always warns His people of coming judgment. Through Noah, He warned the people of the world that some might be saved, yet only eight people were. He also warned the Israelites prior to sending the death angel to Egypt. He warned Lot and his family before the destruction of Sodom. He is warning us today.

I don’t know for sure if Babylon the Great is a city, as Scripture tells us, or if it represents a nation. If it is a city, it will likely be the headquarters of the New World Order, now being assembled by the Globalists. But whether a city or a nation, it’s a place of great arrogance toward God, with no reverence for God and in fact, a disdain for God. It’s a place — or a system — where the people rely on their riches, their luxuries and their comfort, and rather than honoring and serving the one true God, they think themselves to be gods. It’s right out of Satan’s playbook — using the same tactics he used against Eve in the garden — “you shall be like gods.”

Today, so many are just as arrogant, if not more so. And we’re seeing the characteristics of this “Babylon the Great” of Revelation 18 in the institutions now wielding power over all the world: the World Economic Forum, the World Health Organization, the United Nations — all seeking the dissolution of national sovereignty, the destruction of national borders, the centralization of power and control, and “building back better” after they destroy it all.

But this new world order, this “Babylon the Great,” that the Globalists are building will come to an end in one day. Indeed, in one hour. “And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

“Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour is thy judgment come. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more.”

Let’s read on: “The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, (can you say “Bill Gates” — or “Pfizer?”) shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!”

Revelation 18 goes on to describe Babylon the Great’s complete and utter destruction. I believe we’re reading about the destruction of the Globalist New World Order system. A system of tyranny, deception and absolute domination and control by the Globalist so-called “elites.” We also read, “…thy merchants were the great men of the earth; and by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.”

It’s important to note here that the word “sorceries” is correctly translated “Pharmakea” — drugs, chemicals, mRNA “vaccines,” jabs. All nations have already been greatly deceived by the COVID planned-demic. Now, they’re planning for “Disease X,” which they tell us they don’t know what it will be, yet they’re already developing a new “jab” to treat it. How convenient. No “warp speed” needed this time. Now, they’re developing the next “jab” to treat an illness that doesn’t yet exist. And people are buying into this — because they are deceived.

Regarding the destruction of Babylon the Great, verse 20 tells us, “Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.” And then verse 24, “An in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all that were slain upon the earth.”

Friends, the United States may or may not be “Babylon the Great.” As I study these Scriptures more and speak with learned Bible scholars, I’m convinced it will be the headquarters of the New World Order. Still, the United States, I believe, will receive a similar judgment of God. We’ve committed all the crimes of Babylon the Great, whether you realize it or not.

I believe there are 197 countries in the world today. The United States sends foreign aid to 180 of them. Are you aware, that in order to receive this foreign aid, all of these countries must accept, push and promote two things? Those two things are: homosexuality and abortion. All nations that accept our foreign aid (via our tax dollars) are required to promote homosexuality and abortion — with the exception of Muslim nations. They receive our money with no strings attached.

This country used to be a lighthouse on a hill, sending missionaries to the uttermost parts of the earth to share the Gospel to all nations. We used to defend the oppressed and help the poor. Now, many of the missionaries we send are spreading the same false gospel they preach in our modern American churches. A friend of mine once met with a missionary from Africa, who came here to visit, and this man begged us to stop sending missionaries because the missionaries were apostates — preaching a “different gospel” than that of the Holy Scriptures.

We’re no longer defending the oppressed or helping the poor. Now, we’re sending them drugs, pornography, homosexuality, transgenderism and war instead. We have become the oppressors, for the benefit of the money our politicians can make from them.

And now, we’re reaping the whirlwind we’ve sown, as we live under a tyrannical regime that imprisons its political opponents, that has destroyed our national security and defense and has instigated an invasion by foreign enemies. We export sodomy, homosexuality and transgenderism, we kill, rape and abuse our own children sexually, physically and mentally. We give lip service to advocating for the dignity of women, but then declare that males can be females, if they choose to be. We declare that 50-year-old men can masquerade as 15-year-old girls and join their swim team; and change clothes and shower with them too. Because now, 50-year-old men can “identify” as 15-year-old girls and if you think or say otherwise, that’s “disinformation.”

Surely God has sent us strong delusion. Surely this nation is guilty of sinful pride and arrogance. America has blood on its hands from the sacrifice of our own children to Molech under the guise of “women’s rights” through abortion; through instigating the devastation of war around the world, and the lies of the “official COVID hospital protocols” that would have made Hitler and Josef Mengele proud.

So many in our land have fallen for great deception. But as I stated, God always warns His people. He always makes a way of escape before He pronounces judgment and destruction. I pray that many will open their eyes today, awake from their stupor and turn back to God. Open that dusty Bible, get on your knees and pray and seek His face and turn from your wicked ways. You know what your own personal transgressions are. Face them, repent from them, and turn back to God. The Globalist Babylon is coming; we can’t escape it. But we can be rescued from it and rejoice when God Himself squashes all the plans and schemes of the wicked kings of the earth in just one hour’s time. Understand the times we’re living in, warn others, stand strong and don’t back down.

Valentine’s Lasting Legacy: Embracing the Greatest Act of Love

by Rolaant McKenzie

February 11, 2024

Valentine’s Day, also called Saint Valentine’s Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is celebrated every February 14 in North America and various parts of South America, Europe, and Asia. Though it is a day celebrating romance and love, often with candy, flowers, and other gifts of affection, it originated as a Christian feast day honoring a martyr named Valentine.

According to church historical tradition, Valentinus (the Latin version of Valentine) was a pastor who ministered in Umbria, central Italy, during the Roman persecution against Christians in the 3rd century. As he preached the gospel, he secretly protected believers from the government by hiding them.

Valentinus was eventually placed under house arrest for his evangelistic efforts and helping Christians, which was a serious crime. He was also condemned for disobeying the order against marrying Christian couples, allowing the husbands to escape conscription into the Roman army. Roman soldiers were in short supply at this time, and it was the view of the Roman government that married men would be ineffective fighters and therefore a hindrance to the security of the empire. This account also mentions that in order to remind husbands of their vows and God’s love, Valentinus would cut hearts from parchment and give them to these persecuted Christians.

During this time of imprisonment, Valentinus had the opportunity to discuss his faith in Jesus with Asterius, the judge overseeing his case. The judge put Valentinus to the test and brought to him his adopted daughter, who suffered from blindness. Asterius challenged Valentinus, saying that if he succeeded in restoring the girl’s sight, he would grant whatever request he made. Valentinus, praying to God, laid his hands on her eyes, and the child’s vision was restored.

Astonished and overwhelmed with joy, the judge asked Valentinus what he wanted. Valentinus called on Asterius to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, asked that all of the idols around his house be removed and destroyed, that he fast for three days, and that he be baptized. The judge did as Valentinus asked, and as a result, his household of more than 40 family members and servants also believed and were baptized. Asterius also freed all of the Christian prisoners under his jurisdiction.

Valentinus continued to preach the gospel and minister to the faithful, but was arrested again. This time he was taken to Rome to be judged by Emperor Claudius II Gothicus (268-270 AD) himself. Claudius took a liking to Valentinus and may have been lenient with him until he sought to convince him to receive Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Becoming enraged, Claudius refused and commanded him to renounce his faith, or else he would be condemned to death by being beaten with clubs and beheaded.

During his last days, Valentinus often thought of his family and friends (including the daughter of Asterius). Since they were forbidden to visit, they developed a unique way of sending messages to each other. He would squeeze his arm through the bars in his window to reach the violets that grew outside. Each day, after picking a heart-shaped leaf, he would carefully pierce it with a message like “From your Valentinus.” He would then send it to his loved ones by way of homing pigeons supplied by his family. Toward the end of his life, the message changed to a simple, “I love you.”

Even after enduring tortuous punishments and offers of wealth and position along with his freedom, Valentinus refused to renounce his Christian faith and turn away from the Lord he had grown to love. He was executed outside the Flaminian Gate on February 14, 269 AD.

For Valentinus, love was more than the mushy, gushy stuff many think of today. It was above sentimental feelings or infatuation. It was deeper than sexual attraction or physical desire. It was a love strong enough to face the rugged times of life, suffering, severe persecution, and death. It was the kind of love that moved him to risk the danger of preaching the gospel, even to those seeking his hurt, and giving refuge to Christians in the face of the wrath of the Roman government out to destroy them.

This love came from the forgiveness, joy, and peace Valentinus received from God through faith in Jesus Christ, the greatest act of love for humanity lost in sin and separated from God and true life, just as the apostle Paul wrote more than two hundred years before:

“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.” (Romans 5:1-10)

Just as the blood that makes the heart red gives life to the body (Leviticus 17:11), so the blood of Jesus Christ shed on the cross for sinners grants forgiveness of sin, the gift of reconciliation with God, and eternal life to all who trust in Him.

For those who celebrate Valentine’s Day or not, remember the faithfulness of Valentinus through his acts of love and refusal to renounce Christ unto death, and that true love is more than a feeling that comes and goes. It is not based on transitory things like circumstances, the weather, or personal possessions.

True love is what comes from God through His Son Jesus Christ, who redeems with His precious blood all who trust in Him (1 Peter 1:17-19). And those who have received this love of God should share it through proclaiming the gospel and acts of love for others throughout the year, even if it means putting the other person’s needs, desires, and wishes first or going out of your way to accept, respect, and forgive (Ephesians 4:32).

U.S. Constitution, Amendment X

Raise the Minimum Wage to $100.00 An Hour

By Devvy

February 10, 2024

I’ve asked NWV’s to run this old column because inflation is absolutely killing all but the very wealthy. It is critically important we educate our fellow Americans about this issue, so please do share with your email lists and all social media. Manipulation of the currency and the “Federal” Reserve – something the majority of our adult aged population knows absolutely nothing about.

The fools in state legislatures continue to raise the minimum age. Like throwing gasoline on a fire. McDonald’s CEO says fast food chain will focus on affordability amid outrage over menu hikes, Feb. 5, 2023 – Customers have blasted the fast-food giant in recent months amid a spike in menu prices, including a nearly $18 Big Mac combo. Carl’s Jr: Cheeseburger deluxe + medium French fries: $11.24 in Midland, TX. Yes, for one person; I checked menus.

It’s not just the “fast food” industry but all sectors. We the People are being taxed into poverty by our city, county, state and federal elected “servants”. People need higher and higher wages just to break even while the solution – not another Band Aid – is there but Congress does NOT want their candy store to disappear.

Raise the Minimum Wage to $100.00 An Hour

By: Devvy
November 17, 2013

“When all government, domestic and foreign, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power, it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated.” —Thomas Jefferson to Charles Hammond, 1821. ME 15:332

Every few years, the same bleeding-heart members of the Democratic/Communist Party USA start beating the drum to raise the minimum wage. Factually challenged bureau-rats in some state legislatures also want to continue punishing the employer by passing higher minimum wages in the private sector. Those mental midgets claim this will benefit the worker. Nothing like twisting logic upside down to get more votes and it’s not just confined to Marxists. This is what a Republican had to say a few years ago when raising the minimum wage was the rage in the Outlaw Congress:

“Whether people like it or not, we need to go ahead with it,” said Rep. Mike Castle, R-Del., who supports the idea. “There’s a general agreement among Republicans (opposing the raise) that “maybe we don’t like it much, but we need to move forward with it just for political reasons.” So, you see, this isn’t caring about the little guy, it’s about politics and votes.

Where does the U.S. Constitution, Art. 1, Section 8, give Congress the authority to dictate to any private employer what they can and can’t pay an employee? America is a free enterprise system. A system driven by competition and hard work. Do most Americans understand what Fascism is? Fascism is defined as a system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls; oppressive, dictatorial control. For the federal government to centralize the labors of the common man under laws that dictate socioeconomic controls is to strangle free enterprise and competition.

Poltroons in Congress can wrangle about tax cuts for the rich and raising the minimum wage, but it will NEVER cure the cancer, only prolong it. Those sandbaggers in Congress are the ultimate liars who have led us down the path of slavery and unless the people stop rewarding such deceit with reelection, the game will go on with the losers being we the people. I can tell you real men who birthed this republic would never have allowed any Congress to get away with this type of oppression and the deliberate destruction of a free enterprise system.

As for “tax cuts for the rich”, thieves like Nancy Pelosi, who has a net worth of $58 million bux, might not be financially bothered by paying more in taxes, but the common man is being destroyed by them. Former Congressman Ron Paul introduced several bills in the past that would boost the economy and create jobs through spending. All ignored by those caring Republicans and Democrats in Congress – including Nancy Pelosi and Dirty Harry Reid [D-NV].

It should be noted when Ron Paul introduced the TIPS act to help the very people who make minimum wage and see their tips taxed, there were more than 300,000 service workers in Dirty Harry’s own state of Nevada. Did he support the bill? Not a chance. The bill died in committee – not a single Republican or Democratic/Communist Party USA rat in the Outlaw Congress supported it.

Dec. 12, 2000 – Paul Calls for an End to Withholding Taxes -Congressman calls current revenue system ‘inherently deceptive’

April 4, 2001: Congressman Paul Introduces Legislation to Abolish Withholding Taxes

January 29, 2009: Ron Paul Introduces Tax Free Tips Act – Waiters, waitresses and other employees who receive tips would not pay federal income tax on them.

Why the silence from the thugs who run the SEIU (Service Employees International Union birthed by the Communist Party International) who don’t give a tinker’s dam about their members when those bills were introduced and died? If they cared so much about their workers, they would have fought to get Ron Paul’s bill passed through Congress because those bills – especially the TIPS Act – would have greatly benefited their membership.

As the gluttony of the bloated federal and state governments continues to grow unchecked, the burden of taxation is killing off the middle class; for those with a combined household income of less than $35,000 a year, it literally is living one can of beans to the next. Those ever so benevolent politicians with a Gestapo agency like the IRS to carry out their dirty work, continue to upchuck the only way to help those hard-working folks who really do need a break is to continue raising taxes for more useless federal, state and county jobs that produce nothing and raise the minimum wage level of pay.

Such stupidity actually hurts minimum wage workers. A sure recipe for failure, but then again, most politician’s thought process is driven by campaign contributions and reelection. Politicians tend to be weepy, cowardly, emotion driven creatures who can’t seem to help themselves.

While those same career politicians sell financial poison, the reality of raising the minimum wage tells a different story: Minimum Wages and Unemployment: Case Closed – “In short, the preponderance of the evidence over the last 75 years is that low-skilled jobs (mostly held by the less-educated and less-skilled young and minorities) are extinguished by government wage fixing.”

I have every respect for any individual who gives an honest day’s work for a day’s wage. Traditionally in this country, workers are compensated for their labor according to their skill, education and experience. Minimum wage jobs were never meant to be a ‘living wage’ because those are jobs that generally require little to no experience, i.e. high school drop-outs, unskilled workers, or by college students because of flexible schedules and retired folks looking to supplement their retirement income and stay active. Paying an entry level clerk, a hotel maid or burger flipper $100.00 an hour isn’t going to solve the problem.

Besides the endless confiscation of someone’s hard earned labor via more and more heavy, progressive taxation, the single biggest reason why making the minimum wage $100.00 an hour isn’t the solution, it only feeds the “Federal” Reserve. It’s the devaluation of our currency and the purchasing power of the “dollar” that is the problem. An issue completely ignored by most adult aged Americans in this country.

Sadly, the owned by Wall Street Outlaw Congress did not abolish the unconstitutional “Federal” Reserve six years ago when Ron Paul introduced a bill. Hell, most of them had to be dragged kicking and screaming to even sign on to a bill to audit the “Fed”. As Dr. Edwin Vieira wrote in one of his articles: The Road Not Taken (Nov. 2011):

“Today, America finds herself once again lost in “the yellow wood” of monetary chaos, at a point where “two roads diverge”—

“One road leads to “more of the same”—“monkey business as usual”, as it were, both politically and economically—aimed at propping up domestic as well as foreign zombie banks; subordinating the United States Treasury to the cabals of private financial power-brokers in New York and London; and, one may be assured, expanding the fraud of irredeemable legal-tender paper currency to the supra-national level, with a new “global currency” which will surely strip America of her economic sovereignty, and likely will attenuate if not eliminate her political sovereignty, too.

“We must not be enticed down that wrong road by the illusion that we can convince Congress to reinstitute some kind of traditional “gold standard” that pulls the Federal Reserve System from the pit of its own incompetence, profligacy, and criminality, by somehow returning Federal Reserve Notes to redeemability in gold

“My “Cross of Gold” address to this audience in October of 2010 said all that needs to be said against the substance of proposals of that kind. Of course, I shall be the first to commend the proponents of such plans for their patriotism, imagination, courage, and optimism. But, as General Sosobowski reputedly said when General Browning reviewed the plan for the ultimately disastrous Operation Market Garden: “I am thrilled that your great Field Marshall Montgomery has devised such a plan. I promise you that I shall be properly ecstatic if it works.”

We are too far down the road to ruin brought to all of us by the same incumbents Americans keep reelecting over and over and over. I urge you to take the time to read all of Edwin’s column because he provides the only solution left to us for our very survival.

Unless and until Americans fully understand the disabilities of our monetary system, they will continue to take the road to financial destruction by demanding more Band Aids to “fix” the problem. Of course, this requires an investment in time and the ability to understand the subject matter. While no one likes to say it, tragically, we have tens and tens of millions of adult aged Americans who are so under educated, it’s heart breaking. Graduating high school seniors who read at seventh grade level. We’ve all seen clerks at a grocery or convenience store who can’t make change unless the computer tells them the amount. So sad, but those who have done their homework know it has all been by design.

I knew nothing about the “Fed” and our debauched currency until I was 40 years old when I was handed a book that had a lot of information about it; that’s where my journey began 23 years ago. I read the chapters on the “Fed” and said, what a minute, that can’t be right. The “Federal” Reserve is part of our government. After all, it’s called the Federal Reserve! How wrong I was. Dozens of books later, thousands of hours of reading them, Dr. Vieira’s two volume tome, Pieces of Eight, as well as so many of his speeches, I learned the truth about the central bank. It IS the head of the beast dragging us over the abyss. A ravenous beast devouring everything in its path, sucking the life blood of this country for 100 years come Dec. 23, 2013.

Pieces of Eight: The Monetary Powers and Disabilities of the United States Constitution – should have won a Pulitzer Prize in economics. That two volume set is available at Amazon; every State Law Library received one. Most major law-school libraries received one as well as a few big-city libraries. The cost of that book is about average for law books of the same caliber. If you live near a State Law Library or law school, call and see if you can check out a copy if they have it. The three pieces below are certainly required reading:

The Federal Reserve System as a Parasite by Dr. Edwin Vieira
• A Caveat Against Injustice or, An Inquiry into the Evils of a Fluctuating Medium of Exchange By Roger Sherman, 1752
• Congressman Louis McFadden spoke before Congress in 1933 about the evils of the Federal Reserve System; a very famous speech printed in the Congressional Record. A real eye opener.

If at all possible, get the single best DVD set I’ve ever seen for the cure: The Purse & The Sword. This is an eight hour presentation by Dr. Edwin Vieira. Here are some of the reviews:

“EVERY ONE needs to see this video!”

“A fantastic tool for tea party, constitutional, and home school groups.”

“I don’t know how to give a higher rating to this video. Dr. Vieira explains how the government and the people are to lawfully deal with economic and homeland security issues. He has created a sort of “visual constitution” through which it becomes easy to see how we should be operating as a nation – and where we are failing. Not only is this the best explanation of these processes I have ever seen or read, but he does it with such a common sensical approach that it is easy for anyone to understand it. This video should be shown in every high school and college. It should be played on every public access station in the nation. It should be shown on PBS every week. EVERY ONE needs to see this video!”

A constitutional presentation like nothing you’ve ever seen before with the only solutions if this country is going to survive. If money is tight, pool your resources, get a copy and share. Get your group together and watch it in two hour increments and then go after your state legislatures. You’ll understand why I say that after watching the full presentation.

Power Point Presentation on Lawful Money. This slide presentation was put together by a dear friend of mine. It is an exceptional way to explain our debauched currency to people – especially minimum wage workers. Once they understand the problem, people will realize they’ve not been given the solution (raising the minimum wage), but rather more of the same down the path of ruin. Please do share this with your mailing lists, family, friends and activists. That site is a treasure trove of knowledge: “The documents, presentations, videos and audio recordings on this site are evidence of the unconstitutional and illegal activities engaged in by those holding fiscal responsibilities positions within the General Government of the United States and the Federal Reserve System Board of Governors and management.”

Additionally, this (The US Inflation Calculator measures the buying power of the dollar over time) will help folks understand the value of a dollar. In 1913 (the year the unconstitutional “Federal” Reserve Act was passed) you could purchase an item for $20.00. Today, that same item will cost you $473.03; an inflation rate of 2,215.1%.

People always say they don’t have time to read. Well then, they don’t have time for freedom, either. Knowledge is power, but only if we acquire and use it.

Freedom is our noble cause. Stay the course.

Stay focused on finding when the problem started so we can all pursue the only solution at this point in time (The Road Not Taken). Folks are going to have some spare time with the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. A perfect time to share this information with family, friends and members of our state legislatures. Forget the thieves, liars and crooks in Congress. It’s too late. We crossed the Rubicon years ago. ALL of them have thrown away our freedom and financial future by not addressing the “Fed” beast and their lust for taxing us into poverty. Now, it’s up to us.

Defining WW III

By Ms. Smallback

February 10, 2024

When you’re raised on the controllers of the narrative’s history, you view things like war kind of black and white. There are bad guys and there are good guys, and they fight each other with guns and tanks, submarines and planes. People die from direct and indirect fire. Espionage and spying happens in backrooms and shadowy streets, and the side with the best strategy, best fighters, and scariest weapons usually wins. There’s a mental imagery for this, and the media blasts it in movies and books and magazines. We envision things like mushroom clouds, mangled bloody bodies, low flying airplanes, dirty orphaned toddlers, etc.

So it’s hard to tell people WWIII is not in the future, it is now. Modern warfare has less to do with battle lines and territorial conflicts and more to do with controlling the flow of money and redrawing the power lines of people control. Modern warfare is less about moving boundaries between nations and more about making nations boundary-less. They don’t care about things like “borders” anymore. World dominion is the goal, not national upheaval. They’re not declaring war to achieve this, they’re actually committing acts of war to do it.

Modern warfare isn’t rolling tanks down the streets; it uses technology to roll ideology into the masses. They aren’t bombing the cities and military posts as much as they are controlling the information and infiltrating the mind. They don’t use war rations, they use things like “inflation” and “shortages”. There hasn’t been an official declaration of war, and yet today’s weapons of war are prolific and have been actively engaged for years now.

WWIII isn’t coming, it is here. And until people begin to see that, they will continue to be casualties of this war without a seeming shot being fired.

Humanity’s numbers are being decimated by this ignorance. They’ve gas lit humanity to think the enemy is a race or a gender or a socio-economic status or a political faction. How tragic. The enemy is none of those things, yet it commandeers all of those things to subvert the truth.

At the risk of oversimplifying it, the enemies of God are the enemies of humanity. The battle is cosmic, but the battleground is earth. The ignorant are the greatest losers in the current battle because they’re the pawns being used to advance the agenda.

Let’s look at two things today: the battle on the earth, and the battle in the other dimensions.

The Battle on the Earth

[I’m just going to broad stroke this for brevity. I encourage you to dig into areas of interest for further understanding.]

Currently in America and the world at large, the attacks can be categorized easily into four areas:

The Mind

Obviously the mind is the seat of thought; thought leads to belief; belief leads to action. If you control the mind, you control the action. They attack this on many fronts, the most obvious being indoctrination (via education and employment) and propaganda (via media and all forms of entertainment). I could write a series of articles on just those two and the various implementations they use.

There are a myriad of subsections to each of those that incorporate things like redefining words, attaching shame and ridicule to belief structures, scorning alternative ideas, and assigning social pressure to anything contrary to the accepted narrative. Those are actually the more benign methods.

More troublesome than that is their use of chemicals and toxins to suppress the mind, whether it be in the form of legal, prescribed, and/or illicit drugs or through fluoride in the water (a known developmental neurotoxin), or through genetically modified foods, or environmental toxins, etc. The alarming statistics of autism, childhood mental disorders, and geriatric diseases like dementia, Alzheimer’s, etc. have startling connections to environmental toxins and heavy metals, and yes, vaccines. These aren’t accidental occurrences. One or two may be coincidental, but the epidemic-like increasing numbers cannot be. (What are they spraying in our skies 24/7??)

And even more nefarious than those are the technology advances they boast about through phones, frequencies, and other scientific and medical procedures. I’ll spend more time on this one in the near future. The obvious conclusion is if you cripple the mind or in some way interfere with its ability to function properly, you have a mentally handicapped population unable to assess the threats against it and/or form a resistance and response to it.

The Body

They need the body weak for three primary reasons:

A weak body makes one unable or less willing to engage in the battle. How many adult Americans (percentage wise) can actually run a block without being winded, or can even run a block at all? How many can walk several miles, carry a load, move heavy objects, breathe without difficulty? It’s hard to have a militia to stave off enemy combatants with weak-bodied people. Have you looked at America’s health statistics vs. other countries? Maybe compare today’s American’s health statistics with the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s….

A weak body consumes mental energy and distracts so that one’s attention is constantly engaged in fixing the ailments of the body. A weak body leads to a compromised mind. If one’s body is weak or compromised, it’s hard to learn a trade or skill that is beneficial because one is consumed with trying to fix the body. When one needs healing, mental energy goes to doing just the basic tasks at hand that are necessary. There is no energy or fortitude to look at problems outside of the immediate need(s). Current events, community threats, and national needs have to wait because there is not enough energy to dedicate oneself to educating and responding.

A weak body is a tool for a medical industry that makes the body dependent on a system governed by those who want total control, and robs the person(s) of valuable financial resources for other things. When one is consumed with “fixing” ailments, diseases, disorders, one’s finances are used to support the system in control. When that system is beholden to the slave masters wanting world dominion, the system produces exactly what the slave master tells it to. Healing cancer, disease, disorders, etc. will not fill their coffers, so they produce poisons to alleviate one symptom while creating ten more. The system has no interest in root cause or true healing. This cycle intensifies until the person is totally incapacitated or dead. A transference of wealth has happened because the persons’ money fed the system and left them penniless and broken. The system grows while the people languish and die, robbing their progeny of an inheritance and worse, it encumbers or steals resources that could otherwise be used for the betterment of humanity and/or to fight the true enemy.

Unity

If we can’t get along with one another, we can’t fight a common enemy. It’s that simple. Apparently their tactics are that simple as well: continually pit people groups against one another. If it’s not race it’s gender. If it’s not gender it’s income. If it’s not income it’s religion. If it’s not religion it’s education. If it’s not education it’s employment. The list goes on and on.

Humans have a lot of weaknesses, because humans (as a general rule) tend to glide through life without much intentional understanding. People like the path of least resistance. But people are woefully emotional. Emotions are most people’s Achilles heel. So they stoke emotional outbursts by thinly veiled public drama that if reason prevailed would show it for the inciting charade it is. Then they control the public narrative so reason cannot prevail. Emotions do the rest, from mobs and riots, to slander, and almost eventually always into violence (especially when it’s funded by the puppet masters).

It’s embarrassing how easily humanity allows this manipulation. The end result is we refuse to work together for the good of humanity, because we’ve foolishly agreed upon an emotional delineation of pitting people into modern caste systems. It’s selfish and foolish and plays right into the scheme of those in control.

The solution is quite simple, but emotions don’t want solutions, they want revenge. Selfishness doesn’t want solutions, it wants accommodation and preference.

Freedom

Freedom is the antithesis of control. People cannot be free for this battle for world dominion to be successful. So laws must be made, and freedoms must be destroyed, and people must be forced (through fear and coercion and deceit and bribery and a whole host of other things) to choose to give up personal freedom and to force others to do the same.

They’ll have a hard time with this one in a direct attack. So they attack it on smaller fronts with clever cliches like “we’re all in this together” and “do it for your neighbor” and “it takes all of us” and “end racism” and “words hurt”, etc. The emotional ones will fall lockstep into this and agree that we must force some rules that restrict freedom for some exaggerated harm coming down the pike. That’s how we get things like the misnomer Patriot Act, the TSA, amnesty, vaccine mandates, etc. It is almost always based on fear.

There are solutions to each of these categories that I’ll address in coming articles.

The Battle in Other Dimensions

Because the average American (or person in general) is fighting battles in any or all of the four categories above, they are unable to see the battle actually has very little to do with them personally and is actually an epic battle of entities of far more power than flesh and blood.

It’ll take me a few articles to lay this battle out. Remember how I explained the Supreme God created a group of gods before He created humans? Psalm 82 calls them the “Divine Council” and Scripture refers to them as the “sons of god”. These sons of god, (lesser gods), rebelled against God by interfering in the affairs of men. This interference wrought the landscape on earth that is laid out by ancient texts, specifically Mesopotamian texts and in books not canonized in the Bible, as well as the Bible itself.

For most of human history, there was no one Bible, there were ancient scripts passed down from the scribes. We know them as books, but to those before us they were a collection of the history of man on the earth. That history included the interactions of men and women with the gods.

[I realize even addressing this is going to get me the coveted label of “heretic” (humor there), but I’m a seeker of truth AND a lover of God, and I have followed the truths to this point, which will offend mainstream Christianity that has neatly packaged a religion that creates more questions than it answers. If you’ll humor me and just look at the evidence of these things, you may not draw the same conclusions as I have, but you may be able to see, perceive and understand some things that actually help you navigate some otherwise difficult waters. Just at least look at some of the evidence? 🙂 ]

Without getting into the history (right here and now), the basic point is these “sons of god” were rejected by God. (Read Psalm 82) They appealed to Enoch to intercede for forgiveness for their transgressions, and after petitioning God, Enoch had to report back to them that there would be no forgiveness for them (Enoch 11-12). Their sins were not forgiven by God, and they would be punished. From there the battle escalated, with humanity the continual casualty of this war.

Many books and historical documents lay out that these gods are all the gods that the Bible lays out. Moloch, Baal, Ashtoreth, Chemosh, etc. are just renames of older gods. The famous ten plagues of Exodus were specific plagues to reveal to the world (Egypt was the world power at the time) the inability of the pantheon of gods to thwart the Supreme God. God took on the gods of the most powerful nation at the time, and removed His people from their midst by defeating the Egyptian gods.

These gods trace back to Nimrod and the famous Babylon of old. Do you find it interesting at all that the gods on the landscape of Genesis are the same ones alluded to in Revelation? How can you explain the mighty angel’s words at the close of Revelation 18 that in Babylon was found the blood of “prophets and saints and all who have been slain on the earth”? Were all the prophets and all the saints of God murdered in Babylon? Is EVERYONE who has been slain on the earth from Babylon? Or is it describing the seat of the religion that slaughtered the men and women of God, and is responsible for the slaughter of countless men and women?

Ancient Babylon was the seat of the ancient gods who set up government, religion and culture in opposition to the Supreme God. The religion they set up was the worship and adherence to the sons of god, rather than the Supreme God. Their names change with the region and languages they’re in and from. Look at the days of the week and the names of the months. Each was named after a Roman god or its equivalent. Each Roman god is another name for an Egyptian god, for a Greek god, for a Norse god, for a Phoenician god, for a Babylonian god…

Enter Christ. The true Son of God. He took His disciples to what He called “the gates of hell” in the region of Caesarea Philippi, the northern part of Bashan at the foot of Mount Hermon. Mount Hermon is the place the Watchers (sons of god) descended to earth to commit their first crimes. Bashan was considered the gateway to the underworld. Dr. Heiser calls Bashan “ground zero for Old Testament geography”. He devotes a whole chapter (33) to Bashan and its history Biblically in his book The Unseen Realm.

In Jonathan Cahn’s book The Return of the Gods, he carefully lays out the origin of words in Scripture that depicts these gods. He addressed the clash of the gods against the Son of God and the resulting war against the message His followers brought. Their gods were being challenged and they responded with violence, killing the Christians in an attempt to negate the message that there was a God higher than the ones they worshiped. He told a fascinating story of the Roman pagan emperor Julian the Apostate who attempted to restore the Oracle of Delphi’s temple in 362 A.D. He sent for their version of a prophet to get guidance for the restoration. The recorded answer was deafening:

“Tell the emperor that my hall has fallen to the ground. Phoebus [the god Apollo] no longer has his house, nor his mantic bay nor his prophetic spring; the water has dried up.”

Christ had defeated the gods on their own turf, and the fallout was tremendous. We find ourselves in 2024 where the ancient gods who went underground have resurfaced with a vengeance. The scene on the earth has changed since they were dethroned, and their tactics have changed. This is what we’ll get into in the coming weeks.

In my next article I’ll expound on this and attempt to link current events to this battle, as well as speculate on why it has crescendoed so incredibly in the last couple decades.

Islamic Justice: Justice Par Excellence

By: Amil Imani

February 10, 2024

I was walking my two puppies, entirely focused on the job of making sure I cleaned up after them, like a good neighbor should, when someone bumped into me, knocked me to the ground, and yelled, “Watch where are you going? You blind?”

I turned around to apologize when I saw my friend doubled up laughing.

“You sure have a sense of humor. I almost cracked my head against the puppies’ mailbox,” pointing to the fire hydrant.

“Puppies’ mailbox,” he stopped laughing long enough to ask.

“Yeah, that’s their mailbox. They were checking their P-mail.”

He resumed laughing.

“Tell you what. Dump the puppies and buy me lunch, and I’ll give you a fascinating report from home. I know you haven’t been to Iran for a while, and I just returned yesterday. I’ll give you an exclusive so you can write about it and keep raking it in.”

“The way I have been raking it in with my writings, if I buy you lunch, my pups must go hungry. And I won’t do that to them.”

“That bad, huh?”

“Worse.”

“How about you dump them and just buy me some coffee?”

“I buy you coffee, then I’ll have to watch you drink it.”

“That bad?”

“No, but not all that good either.”

“Wow, and some Muslims believe you’re in the pay of the AIPAC and Israelis, the way you defend the Jews and bad-mouth Islam.”

“Speaking truth is bad-mouthing, I suppose. People don’t like to hear the truth. Cause it’s often bitter. If I wanted to be in the pay of anybody, I would choose the Saudis. My second choice would be the damned Iranian Mullahs who steal our money and support every Islamist thug anywhere in the world. The Israelis? Get real.”

“Some Muslims call you Islamophobe while some call you racist and many worse things.”

“Right. You know better. I am simply an Ex-Muslim who has become Ex because, from the minute my brain got functional enough, I saw serious issues with Islam from its inception to this very day. The Islamic justice system, in particular, bothered me a great deal. And you’re a lawyer, and I have talked to you about it many times.”

“Are we gonna stand around and watch your puppies check every tree and fire hydrant, or will you buy me a cup of coffee?”

“Tell you what. Come to my place, and I’ll make you a cup of instant coffee. I hope you don’t ask for cream. I don’t have any. Not even that chalky stuff they peddle as creamer.

We headed for my place.

“So you don’t think much of Islam and the Islamic justice system?”

“I believe the Islamic justice system perfectly fits the rest of Islam. It is a mockery. I have told you that before. No point rehashing the old stuff.”

“No rehashing. I’ve got some new stuff for you. My souvenirs from my latest visit home.”

“Okay, I’m listening.”

“A week before leaving for home, I started wearing the Islamic hijab…”

“Did I hear you right? You, a man, wearing an Islamic hijab?”

“Yeah. Don’t get so literal. I started growing stubbles. That’s a form of male hijab-faithful Iranian Muslim sport. It’s wearing your religion on your face.”

“Okay, I get it. But why?”

“Cause I wanted to interview a high-ranking Islamic judge—Hujat-ul-Islam—and having the stubbles would make me seem a devotee and give more leeway to ask some pointed questions.”

“Okay. Got that. Go on.”

“Fine. You’ve heard of ‘trial by fire’”?

“Yes, sort of.”

“I bet you haven’t heard of ‘trial by noose.’”

“No. Never been to law school. But, have heard of trial by pain in the neck.” I’m getting a bit annoyed at the guy.

“Close, not the same thing. Want to know what trial by noose is?”

“No, I want deliverance from the trial of putting up with you.”

“Are you insinuating I’m trying you?”

“No, I am not insinuating; I am saying right out you are.”

“Bear with me. You’ll love what I’ll be telling you. Guaranteed.”

“Okay.”

“I got an audience with a prominent Islamic judge and asked him many legal questions. They used a great deal of tact to avoid offending him. I didn’t want to end up in the slammer, understand?”

“Yeah?”

“I said to him, Your Person, people in America, where I practice law, have a terrible misunderstanding of the Islamic Justice system. For instance, they claim lawyers of prisoners of conscience are routinely denied access to their clients. He got offended and said, ‘No truth to it. We don’t incarcerate anyone unless they are guilty. When a lawyer, a paid shyster—that’s what all lawyers are—shows up to wiggle him out, we give the lawyer unlimited access to the criminal. We send him to live in the same cell with his client until he is fully convinced of the criminal’s guilt.”

“Hey, that’s good. Very hospitable of them.”

“Yeah. I gathered my courage and said, ‘Your Person, they, the Americans, dare to call Islamic courts kangaroo courts. He became agitated and screamed, ‘See, there is no limit to the slander and untruth these evil infidels shower on us. How could we possibly have kangaroo courts when we don’t even have kangaroos?”

“You’re sharing all this with me, gratis? Why don’t you write a book about it and make a fortune.”

“You don’t make a fortune writing books unless you are a big cheese. I know you have written books, and you can’t buy me a cup of coffee and serve me this black poison?” He pushes his barely-touched coffee away so hard that it spills over my rug.

My pups, on cue, run to the spill, sniff at it briefly, and return to gnawing on my rug’s fringe in between bouts of wrestling.

“See what I mean? Even the pups declined your hospitality. Besides, they’re doing just fine feasting on your rug. You could’ve bought me lunch.”

“Wrong. That’s their snack. They’re babies and require protein. Don’t you have better things to do? Like chasing an ambulance?”

“I’ll ignore that and go ahead and enlighten you about trial by the noose. It is a system of justice used extensively by the Mullahs. According to His Person, it bypasses all the complicated so-called due process and gets to it. A man suspected of a major infraction stands on a stepladder with a noose around his neck. The executioner kicks the stepladder away. He said that if the party were guilty, his neck would snap. If he is innocent, the rope breaks.”

“Hey, that’s very good. Very good.”

“So far, no one has seen the rope break. The Hujat-ul-Islam proudly claimed that it shows their unerringness in their judgment. He said there have been times, very rarely, that the rope has broken instead of the neck. You have to take their word for it like you do everything else they preach as Quran truth.”

“Well, that’s edifying.”

“See, you stick with me and learn a great deal.”

“Tell you what, when it comes to sticking, I want you to stick it; I mean, stick with someone else and leave me in my ignorance.”

“I’ll ignore that again. That’s the price all wise people pay in discharging their duties. All they get is insult, ingratitude, and sometimes death. Didn’t that happen to Socrates?”

“If you keep this up, it might happen to you by this ungrateful me.”

“Don’t be sore for spilling coffee on your rug. It masks what your puppies freely discharge on it. Now, let me go on. Do you know anything about ‘trial by missiles’?”

“No. I told you. Never been to law school.”

“Okay. It is another form of Islamic trial used mostly for women, particularly women adulterers. Well, you’ve gotta love it. It is completely legal for any married man to have sex with an unlimited number of women concurrently or consecutively through the farcical provision of temporary marriages. But if a married woman is even suspected of making love to a man, she gets the trial by missiles, more commonly known as stoning.”

“Yeah, barbaric.”

“Well, they don’t think so. It’s not simply burying the woman up to her neck and unleashing psychopathic thugs to stone her to death, he told me. No, there are safeguards and stipulations. They limit the size of the stones the mob may use to bombard the woman. They also draw a line some twenty meters away from the woman. No one is allowed to cross that line and have a better crack at her. There are no limits on the number of stones, however. Bushels and bushels full of them are set up at the firing line.”

“Now, I call that safeguard Islamic style. Isn’t it just wonderful?

“Just like the trial by the noose thing, they say if the accused woman is innocent of the charges, and she is still alive twenty-four hours later, then they’ll dig her up and let her go.”

“Yes, lovely indeed.”

“Get this. Again, he assured me that some women had occasionally survived trials. That is, a wrongly accused woman had actually survived the stoning. When he saw me incredulous, he explained how it could’ve happened. He said a host of invisible angels sent by Allah surrounded her and deflected the fusillade. The angels also gave her water and food and kept her company overnight. No one in living memory has seen anyone survive the stoning for more than an hour or so.”

“Right. Twenty-four hours of being buried up to the neck and receiving the barrage of stones and surviving it? That doesn’t prove innocence. It certainly qualifies as an outright lie fabricated by the thugs of Allah.

“Well, I’m with you on that. I thought I would ask him another question. So I said to him, ‘Your Person, the Westerners harp a great deal about the status of women. They say women in Islam are worth half of men, they have no right to divorce, and if ever dare to report being raped, four witnesses are required to substantiate their claim. Also, why are men allowed multiple wives while women are limited to only one husband? Why the disparity between the status of the sexes, Sir?’ The man sure had a temper. His neck vein bulged, and he yanked at his own beard so hard, I thought he might rip a chunk of it out and said, it is ordained in the holy Quran. It stipulates that men are rulers over women. And for excellent reasons. Men marrying multiple wives is a way of ensuring no woman is left unsupervised and uncared for. Many men are often killed in wars, and a surplus of women must be dealt with. Women also are deficient in numerous ways. They are not only physically weaker than men; they are prone to mental errors. Precisely the reason that a woman’s claims need not be taken seriously unless four witnesses confirm them. Women’s main function is to bear and raise children. They require supervision to keep them in their place.”

“Enough to make me puke.”

“Hold it until I leave. There is much more. I’ll tell you the rest of it later. Got to go chase an ambulance,” he says and dashes out.

Trump is Right About Ukraine

By Cliff Kincaid

February 9, 2024

A group of anti-communists led by Trevor Loudon has announced a “Conservatives 4 Ukraine Speakers and Media Bureau” to counter pro-Russian propaganda from the likes of Tucker Carlson. I support them wholeheartedly. My fear is that “Team Joe” is doing far more damage to Ukraine than Tucker could ever do.

“Team Joe” is the name of the Joe Biden for president campaign. He makes anti-Russian sounds and goes through the motions of appearing to support Ukraine over Russia. But he fails to ask Congress to support a victory by Ukraine over Russia. Instead, he is bleeding Ukraine, as it struggles to survive almost daily bombardments from Vladimir Putin’s Russia.

On another level, we must consider the fact that the modern Democratic Party is a vehicle for the same “values” that Russia has tried to foist on the rest of the world, ever since the Russian revolution of 1917. (The “ex-communist” Russian President Vladimir Putin, however, now postures as a Russian nationalist and religious conservative).

Looking back at the history of socialists in the West, Putin himself declared that “…the[U.S.] Democratic Party is traditionally closer to the so-called liberal values, closer to Social Democratic ideas, if compared to Europe. And it was from the Social Democratic environment that the Communist Party evolved.”

Viewed in this light, the war over Ukraine is less over freedom versus socialism than what form of socialism Ukraine will be saddled with. Will Ukraine be ruled by Ukraine or by Russia, its previous master? Ukraine wants to join the EU, the European Union, a socialist monstrosity.

I always favor national sovereignty in a case like this, and Ukraine deserves our support. But under “Team Joe” Ukraine stands no chance of winning. That should be clear by now.

Almost two years ago Speaker Mike Johnson voted against a Ukraine aid bill, saying, “We should not be sending another $40 billion abroad when our own border is in chaos, American mothers are struggling to find baby formula, gas prices are at record highs, and American families are struggling to make ends meet, without sufficient oversight over where the money will go.”

Such an argument is striking a chord with conservatives, whatever you may think of Tucker’s pro-Putin propaganda show.

Johnson received an F on the Republicans for Ukraine congressional report card.

But such a grade is unfair. Johnson favors a victory by Ukraine over Russia but is also concerned that “Team Joe” does not favor victory. He says, “We want accountability, and we want objectives that are clear from the White House.”

There is a very real problem of Russian influence in the conservative movement, and Tucker is the personification of that problem.

In our report, The Big Lie Driving Russian Influence in the Conservative Movement and the Destruction of Ukraine, we examine the operations of the Russian intelligence service going back decades, fomenting anti-Semitism and the present war in the Middle East. We examine how American TV personalities such as Tucker Carlson and Stephen K. Bannon echo Russian propaganda about Ukraine.

They are playing into Putin’s hands, in much the same way that Biden did, when he indicated that a minor Russian “incursion” into Ukraine wouldn’t matter much. That is what has led to Ukraine’s predicament.

The additional problem for conservatives favoring aid to Ukraine is that we now have evidence of how the Biden Administration is trying to thwart an Israeli military victory over Hamas. In this case, however, Israeli Prime Minter Benjamin Netanyahu is standing up to Biden.

If Biden doesn’t favor a victory by Ukraine or Israel, and that’s where the evidence leads us, and if the United States is going broke in the process, what good does additional aid do? That is the problem House Speaker Mike Johnson is contemplating.

And since we all know that Tucker has taken the side of Russia in this war, what good does it do to bash him when Ukraine should have won this war with the right weapons months ago? Those were the weapons Biden denied Ukraine.

The Trump position, “We want people to stop dying,” makes more sense as the war continues. Under Biden, negotiations make sense until a new president of the United States can take office and review U.S. policy toward Russia.

Trevor Loudon says, “Allowing Russian forces to defeat Ukraine will almost certainly lead to World War III. Putin’s victory would empower China, Iran and North Korea, who are all targeting the US and its allies.” This is true. The fallacy in this argument is that Ukraine won’t be allowed to win under “Team Joe,” our enemies continued to gather strength under Biden, and Trump’s position of immediate negotiations and even a cease fire is the only way to buy time and save the lives of brave Ukrainians.

The Nikki Haley Plot Against the USA

By Lex Greene

February 9, 2024

In the good ole days when the average American was smarter than the average politician, citizens would defeat Nikki Haley in the GOP Presidential race just because they know that millions in her campaign funds come from far-left democrat donors and over 70% of her primary voters are also democrats. Republican voters have had it with democrats voting in republican primaries, for just this reason.

But these days, after decades of massive false political propaganda and Marxist Educational indoctrination at all ages, not to mention the government controlled and censored news media and social media platforms, the average American voter is far less certain about anything they believe.

Haley lost Iowa and then New Hampshire, both by wide margins, where she told her fans she was sure to defeat Trump. That was bad enough, but this week, she accomplished something never accomplished before in political history – she lost the Nevada primary where she was the only active candidate allowed to appear on the ballot.

CNN reported the night of the Nevada GOP Primary, that Haley only received 30.5% of the vote in a primary where she was the only active candidate on the ballot. The other 69.5% of GOP voters voted against her, 63.2% of them for “None of these candidates.” In other words, she ran unchallenged and still lost by almost 26,000 votes, having received only 21,199 votes herself.

As of this writing, Trump leads Haley in all national polling by an average of 74.3% to 18.1%. At this moment, Trump leads Haley in her home state of South Carolina by 60% to 29.3%. The official Nevada GOP primary holding all the delegates for the state is a caucus event, where Trump will appear essentially unopposed.

But even though Nikki Haley is losing every single GOP primary in grand fashion, do not expect her to drop out of the so-called “race” anytime soon. The plot to make her the 2024 GOP Presidential nominee never included her winning any of the primaries.

Instead, the plot is very similar to Biden 2020, when Biden remained in the race in 3^rd place behind Warren and Sanders until the party met behind closed doors to bribe Warren and Sanders into dropping out to make room for bumbling Biden who was polling at 30% at the time, just like Haley now.

The difference in the Haley Plot case is, they can’t talk, bribe, or threaten Trump into leaving the race. Instead, the Haley camp is working around the clock with democrat operatives and financiers to force Trump out of the race, most likely by getting a fraudulent conviction for an “insurrection” that never happened.

As I write, the US Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments over whether or not to allow six Colorado voters to deny all Colorado voters the right to vote for the candidate of their choice, in this case, a former President and the landslide-leading candidate for the 2024 GOP nomination. In other words, leftist Trump-haters are trying to toss democracy off the cliff just because they know they can’t defeat Trump by any legitimate process.

The Haley Plot is to remain in 2^nd place until Trump is eliminated from the race by way of a fraudulent conviction in some corrupt court, or a bullet if necessary. Then, like Biden 2020, with Trump out of the way, Nikki could become the presumptive GOP nominee as the only candidate still standing.

The longer Haley stays in the race, loss after loss after loss, the more it confirms that she intends to become the nominee without winning a single primary anywhere.

As for the Supreme Court today, members of the court have only two choices, and only one of those choices is constitutional, or even safe.

The high court must affirm democratic processes by refusing to allow a handful of Trump-haters to keep him off the ballot for an alleged “crime” that never happened. The only other option is to burn the Constitution once and for all and at that point, we will have an entirely new ballgame here.

Texas has already put the court on official notice that when they act in an unconstitutional manner, the states and the people have no obligation to follow any direction from the court. In just a couple weeks, Texas closed its border after the O’Biden administration had done all it could do keep the borders open for the past three years.

While moronic democrats continue to falsely claim “it’s republicans” who don’t want the border closed, it’s republicans in Texas who closed them, and democrats in DC who sued them for it. The same Supreme Court hearing the Trump ballot case today, issued a 5-4 ruling allowing O’Biden to tear down the Texas border fences. But so far, the O’Biden regime appears afraid to do so, showing at least some signs of intelligence.

As of today, our country is dangerously hanging by a fingernail on the verge of a total constitutional collapse, as the court will decide whether or not to uphold the Constitution today or burn it once and for all.

These are indeed interesting times.

Don’t fall victim to the Haley Plot though. She’s a fraud, a 14th “anchor baby” citizen not even eligible for the office, and a proud graduate of nazi Klaus Schwab’s Young Global Leaders program at his maniacal WEF, just like Trudeau in Canada.

Democrat voters are easily fooled, but Republican voters, not so much! Nikki is losing everywhere because most republicans care about the facts.

Regulating Your Life

By Paul Engel

February 9, 2024

Does the federal government have the legal authority to regulate anything it wants?
The Department of Energy has decided they can regulate your dishwasher and washing machines.
In the case of Louisiana, et. al. v. U.S. Department of Energy, it appears the DOE may have bitten off more than it can chew.

Have you noticed how often the government of the United States decides how you should live your life? It seems everything from food and drugs to the lightbulbs in your home are regulated by Uncle Sam. And whenever some bureaucrat deems it necessary, they simply roll out another “rule” or “regulation” to clamp down on the American people. It seems though, that one of those agencies may have bitten off more than they could chew, at least according to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. In the case Louisiana, et. al. v. U.S. Department of Energy the court decided that one of the DOE’s rules was illegal, but was it unconstitutional?

Regulatory State

When Congress decides it wants to exercise a power not delegated to it by the Constitution, it usually reaches for the General Welfare Clause:

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States;

U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8, Clause 1

They seem to forget the fact that this clause empowers Congress to collect taxes, not to regulate. They also seem to ignore that it only allows Congress to collect taxes for the general welfare of the United States, the very same proper noun used in the Tenth Amendment.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Does this clause of the Constitution allow Congress to do whatever it thinks would be good for America? Not according to James Madison.

If Congress can apply money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may establish teachers in every state, county, and parish, and pay them out of the public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the union; they may assume the provision for the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post roads; in short, every thing, from the highest object of state legislation, down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress; for every object I have mentioned would admit the application of money, and might be called, if Congress pleased, provisions for the general welfare.

Bounty Payments for Cod Fisheries, [6 February] 1792

Looks like Mr. Madison was correct. Once Congress believed they could apply money indefinitely to the general welfare, they took over everything, including regulating dishwashers and washing machines.

They’re Coming for Your Dishwashers

In 2022, the Department of Energy tightened the regulatory regime surrounding America’s dishwashers and laundry machines. Petitioners sued. The Department’s actions were arbitrary and capricious. So we grant the petition and remand to the Department.

What led up to the 2022 decision by the Department of Energy to tighten regulations for dishwashers and laundry machines? Why did several states including Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Utah file suit?

In 2018, the Competitive Enterprise Institute (“CEI”) submitted a petition for rule making to the Department of Energy (“DOE” or the “Department”). … According to CEI, the Department’s burdensome energy regulations made dishwashers incapable of, well, washing dishes. CEI asked the Department to define a new class of dishwashers under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, Pub. L. No. 94-163, 89 Stat. 871, codified (as amended) at 42 U.S.C. §§ 6201 et seq. (“EPCA”). CEI proposed that the new class should be comprised of dishwashers with a normal cycle duration of under one hour. … CEI anticipated that the new class might offer better performance than currently available machines in part because it would not need to comply with the energy and water restrictions otherwise applicable to consumer dishwashers today.

Apparently the Competitive Enterprise Institute thought of a way to get around the DOEs restrictions on energy and water usage. The petitioned the DOE to make a rule that would create a new class of dishwasher that would not need to comply with DOE’s energy and water restrictions.

DOE responded favorably to CEI’s petition. It published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“NPRM”) under the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”). … The NPRM proposed the new dishwasher class that CEI had requested. … In October 2020, the DOE adopted a final rule defining the class as “standard residential dishwashers with a cycle time for the normal cycle of one hour or less from washing through drying.” … (the “2020 Dishwasher Rule”).

The DOE adopted the rule proposed by CEI. Apparently, DOE liked the rule so much, they created another rule for laundry machines, or what most of us call washing machines.

On its own initiative, the Department then decided to take analogous action on laundry machines. (“2020 Laundry NPRM”). … DOE explained that both of its 2020 rules “re-affirmed the Department’s recognition of cycle time as a valuable consumer utility.”

Does the DOE thinks it’s valuable to consumers to minimize cycle time in such appliances? Apparently the DOE is more interested in how long an appliance runs than how well. So far so good, until the Biden Administration takes office.

On the day of his inauguration, President Biden issued an Executive Order directing DOE and other agencies to reconsider certain rules, including the 2020 Dishwasher Rule and the 2020 Laundry Rule. … A new final rule, which we call the Repeal Rule, was issued in January 2022. It revoked both the 2020 Dishwasher and the 2020 Laundry Rules.

In come the politicians, apparently overriding the rules of the bureaucrats, this time to the detriment of the people who actually purchase and use dishwashers and washing machines. Then a group of states decide to stand up and, if not come to the rescue, at least push back on the repeal of these new rules.

A group of States, led by Louisiana, petitioned our court for review of the Repeal Rule

What was the basis of the state’s lawsuit? What was the Fifth Circuit asked to decide?

Now the merits. While the States make various contentions, we need only consider one: that the Repeal Rule is arbitrary and capricious.

Arbitrary and Capricious

Part of the law Congress passed to regulate how agencies create rules and regulations is known as the Administrative Procedures Act or APA.

Section 706 of the APA requires courts to “hold unlawful and set aside agency action, findings, and conclusions found to be . . . arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law.” 5 U.S.C. § 706(2).

If a court finds that an agency acts in an arbitrary or capricious way, or beyond their legal authority, it must hold those actions as unlawful, therefore deciding for the plaintiff who sued.

The Repeal Rule falls short of these standards. We (1) discuss the Department’s inadequate consideration of important aspects of the energy conservation program. Then we (2) discuss the Repeal Rule’s reliance on purported legal error.

Things aren’t looking so good for the Department of Energy at this point.

The 2022 DOE was required to reasonably consider the relevant issues and reasonably explain its decisions in the Repeal Rule. … It failed to do so. Specifically, it (a) is unclear that DOE has statutory authority to regulate water use in dishwashers and clothes washers. But even if DOE has water-usage authority over the relevant appliances, the Department (b) failed to adequately consider the negative consequences of the Repeal Rule, including the substitution effects of energy-and-water-wasting rewashing, prewashing, and handwashing. And in all events, the 2022 DOE (c) failed to adequately consider the impact of the energy conservation program on “performance characteristics.”

Basically, the court found that the DOE tripped over itself in two primary areas; their legal powers and the impact of the Repeal Rule. Let’s look at these individually.

Statutory Authority

In promulgating the Repeal Rule, DOE stated that its energy conservation program must promote “water conservation” and regulate “water use.” See 87 Fed. Reg. at 2684–85. But it is unclear how or why DOE thinks it has any statutory authority to regulate “water use” in dishwashers and washing machines.

First, there is the question of whether or not the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 delegates to the Department of Energy the authority to regulate water use.

The EPCA allows DOE to regulate energy use by some products and water use by others. …

The EPCA does not appear to contemplate overlap between the products subject to “energy” regulation and those subject to “water” regulation. Energy first. The EPCA defines “energy use” as “the quantity of energy directly consumed by a consumer product at point of use.” … And it defines “energy” as “electricity[] or fossil fuels” or “other fuels.” … Dishwashers and laundry appliances obviously use “energy” as the EPCA defines that term. So it makes sense that DOE can regulate the amount of energy used by those appliances.

But the statute defines “water use” as “the quantity of water flowing through a shower head, faucet, water closet, or urinal at point of use.” … And the four explicitly enumerated water products do not use “energy” as that term is defined in the EPCA. That explains why Congress said “energy use, or, . . . water use.”

So first, the court found that the Department of Energy did not have the statutory authority to regulate water use in these appliances under the EPCA. (See the Constitutionality of the DOE for more on this.) What about the second problem the court found?

Impact

Even if DOE could consider dishwashers’ and clothes washers’ “efficiency” in both “energy use” and “water use,” the 2020 Rules likely promoted greater efficiency in both categories than the Repeal Rule. Assuming both energy conservation metrics are on the table, the States argue, and DOE does not appear to dispute, that one important aspect of that problem is whether appliance regulations actually reduce energy and water consumption. Yet the administrative record contains ample evidence that DOE’s efficiency standards likely do the opposite: They make Americans use more energy and more water for the simple reason that purportedly “energy efficient” appliances do not work. … So Americans who want clean dishes or clothes may use more energy and more water to preclean, reclean, or handwash their stuff before, after, or in lieu of using DOE-regulated appliances.

Strike two for the Department of Energy. It appears that not only has the DOE gone beyond its statutory powers, but in the name of being energy efficient, their latest rules actually promote the use of more energy and water to do the same job.

Court Decision

According to the court, since the Repeal Rule was outside of the DOE’s statutory authority and did not fulfill the requirements of the policy, that policy is arbitrary and capricious, and therefore did not comply with the Administrative Procedures Act.

In sum, it is unclear that DOE has any statutory authority to regulate water use in dishwashers and clothes washers. But even assuming the Department has that authority, the Repeal Rule is arbitrary and capricious for two principal reasons. (1) It failed to adequately consider appliance performance, substitution effects, and the ample record evidence that DOE’s conservation standards are causing Americans to use more energy and water rather than less. (2) It rested instead on DOE’s view that the 2020 Rules were legally “invalid”—but even if true, that does not excuse DOE from considering other remedies short of repealing the 2020 Rules in toto.

Norton v. Shelby County :: 118 U.S. 425 (1886)

While the striking down of the Repeal Rule is a good thing, there’s one very important point the court missed.

Constitutionality of the DOE

While the court looked at the statutory power of the Department of Energy, they never looked at its constitutionality. Congress stated the purpose of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 within the legislation

The purposes of this chapter are-

(1) to grant specific authority to the President to fulfill obligations of the United States under the international energy program;
(2) to provide for the creation of a Strategic Petroleum Reserve capable of reducing the impact of severe energy supply interruptions;
(3) Repealed. Pub. L. 106–469, title I, §102(2), Nov. 9, 2000, 114 Stat. 2029 ;
(4) to conserve energy supplies through energy conservation programs, and, where necessary, the regulation of certain energy uses;
(5) to provide for improved energy efficiency of motor vehicles, major appliances, and certain other consumer products;
(6) Repealed. Pub. L. 106–469, title I, §102(2), Nov. 9, 2000, 114 Stat. 2029 ;
(7) to provide a means for verification of energy data to assure the reliability of energy data; and
(8) to conserve water by improving the water efficiency of certain plumbing products and appliances.

42 USC §6201

Look all you want, but you will not find the power to conserve energy supplies, improve energy efficiency, or conserve water as a power delegated to the United States. You may be thinking, but what about the international energy program, that was probably done via treaty, which makes it the supreme law of the land, right?

No. The Supremacy Clause states:

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land;

U.S. Constitution, Article VI, Clause 2

Only treaties made under the Authority of the United States are the supreme law of the land. The United States does not have the authority regulate energy or water supplies. Therefore, any treaty that may have been signed is not within the authority of the United States, not the supreme law of the land, and as an unconstitutional act, void.

In fact, since regulating energy is not a power delegated to the United States, the legislation that created the Department of Energy is an unconstitutional act, and therefore also void.

Conclusion

So while the court came to mostly the right conclusion, their failure to consider the constitutionality of the Department of Energy leave the American people with the false belief that the Department of Energy is legitimate and that their regulations have the force of law. This in spite of previous court decisions to the contrary.

Rather than dealing with the unconstitutionality of the Repeal Rule, they merely turned it back over to the illegal agency that created it in the first place.

For the foregoing reasons, the petition for review is GRANTED. And the matter is REMANDED to DOE for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
