Trump’s election in November should be a walk in the park. The Joe Biden/Kamala Harris White House was among the least popular president/vice president tandems in U.S. history, with Harris’ poll numbers sinking below Biden’s. America is in the midst of an undeclared recession. Most of the American people are fed up with Biden’s proxy war with Russia in Ukraine. And, believe it or not, most Americans do NOT want the U.S. fighting a war in defense of Israel. A large percentage of the U.S. population is opposed to Biden’s military assistance of Israel’s genocidal war against the Palestinians in Gaza. Most Americans are thoroughly disgusted with Biden’s open-borders policy that has facilitated the invasion of tens of millions of illegal aliens and tens of thousands of violent criminal illegals into our country. Plus, Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt, giving him victimhood status, which in today’s America is a very desirable commodity. At the time of the assassination attempt, he gave the appearance of strength and leadership that reminded many Americans of Ronald Reagan. And remember that Reagan won two landslide elections. Trump is a shoo-in, right? He should be, but he’s not. He does what Trump does best: He makes people hate him. He can’t help it; it’s just the way narcissistic people who think they are God affect folks. Faithful readers of this column know I don’t like Trump. Call me what you want, but I speak and write with honesty and sincerity. And I honestly have zero respect for the Orange Man. But, then again, I have zero respect for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. They are all disgustingly revolting to me—down to my core. So, I don’t have a dog in this fight. Therefore, the topic about which I am writing today is as objective and unbiased as it can possibly be. Trump should win the November election in a landslide, but he won’t. He might win, but he might lose. And if he does lose, it will be his own fault. This column was written before Kamala’s acceptance speech today, so I am not privy to what she will say or how she will say it. It wouldn’t matter though, because I wouldn’t watch it anyway. And, no, I didn’t watch the Republican National Convention either. As far as I’m concerned, time would be better spent watching reruns of Bozo’s Circus. Here is a sample of what I’m talking about: Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump fixated on Vice President Kamala Harris’s appearance in terms he acknowledged were offensive, rejecting pressure from GOP allies to emphasize policy differences over personal attacks. He appeared to take exception to a Wall Street Journal column that listed Harris’s appearance as one of her political assets, saying, “I am much better looking than her. I’m a better-looking person than Kamala.” In other recent remarks, Trump suggested Harris’s appearance would undermine her with world leaders, saying they would view her as a “play toy” and declining to specify why. Trump’s continued focus on Harris’s gender and race comes as the Democrat has opened a gaping lead with female voters. A new New York Times-Siena poll found Harris ahead of Trump by 14 percentage points with women in the swing states of Arizona, Georgia and Nevada, where Trump and President Joe Biden were tied among women in May. In Pennsylvania, women backed Harris 54 percent to 41 percent, while men supported Trump, 49 percent to 42 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University poll this month. Trump has a long history of insulting the appearance of female rivals and critics, including 2016 Republican candidate Carly Fiorina and Stormy Daniels, an adult-film actress who has said she had a sexual encounter with him. A New York jury convicted Trump in May of covering up hush money payments to Daniels. [That’s the one charge we all know Trump was guilty of.] Trump repeatedly described Harris as a “lunatic” and mocked her laugh. “As soon as she laughs, the election’s over,” he said. That’s classic Trump. All he knows to do is attack the person who opposes him. Do Floridians remember the personally insulting things Trump said about Governor Ron DeSantis? With Trump, it’s never about ideas; it’s always about him and whoever the person is that opposes him. It doesn’t matter if they are Republicans or Democrats, whites or blacks, males or females—although his misogynistic nature makes his personal attacks against women especially abusive. But Trump knows almost nothing about ideas; and he doesn’t care that he doesn’t know. He has the attention span of a gnat. With Trump, it’s ALWAYS about personalities. If Trump had any sense of humanity and humility, he would simply tell the truth about Harris’ track record and earn his victory with her own words and actions, the way Tulsi Gabbard defeated her in the Democratic primaries in 2020. He would talk about her laxity of the law as a prosecutor in San Francisco. He would talk about her extreme woke agenda. He would talk about her extreme opposition to the Second Amendment and support for gun confiscation and her opposition to the right to life. He would talk about her total failure in her role as America’s Border Czar under Biden. But what does Trump do? He mocks Harris’ race and ethnicity. He says, “She’s stupid.” Whether she is or isn’t stupid is not the issue. You don’t win over undecided voters by publicly calling your opponent stupid. Trump calling Harris stupid IS STUPID. Plus, a true gentleman would not display egregiously disrespectful diatribes against a woman personally, regardless of their political differences. But Trump is anything but a gentleman. (That’s another mark of America’s demise: the absence of chivalry.) And, as far as Kamala’s laugh goes, yes, some people do find it irritating. (However, I’m not sure it’s the laugh itself or the way she uses laughter to deflect questions that she doesn’t want to answer.) But here’s a news flash, Donald: By laughing (however it sounds), Harris is showing people a very likable human trait. I don’t believe I have ever seen Trump laugh. The man barely even smiles. This election—as are all national elections—will not be decided by Democrats or Republicans. It will be decided by the independents, the non-aligned, the uncommitted. That’s the group of people that are going to decide the November presidential election. And if Trump continues his personal insulting attacks against Harris and fails to show the American people the REAL Kamala Harris: the anti-law enforcement Harris, the anti-Second Amendment Harris, the anti-border protection Harris, the anti-peace Harris, the anti-free economics Harris, the anti-religious freedom Harris, the anti-national sovereignty Harris, the anti-parents’ rights Harris, the anti-freedom of speech Harris, the anti-unborn baby’s right to life Harris, the anti-Constitution Harris, the anti-Bill of Rights Harris, etc., Trump is going to lose in November. As I have tried to remind readers repeatedly, the only Democrat Trump has beaten is Hillary Clinton, who was the most hated politician in America and, perhaps, the only person in the country who was naturally more unlikable than Donald Trump. If Trump thinks he’s going to beat Kamala in a personality contest, he is thoroughly self-deceived. But, again, that’s a mark of a genuine narcissist. And there is one more thing that Trump could do to undermine Harris’ campaign: He could actively court the millions of people in this country (most of them non-Republicans) who are justly angry at Israel’s ongoing massacre of the Palestinian people in Gaza. There are hundreds of thousands of Democrats and Independents who, at this moment, are not going to vote for the Democratic ticket in November, because of the Biden/Harris partnership with Netanyahu’s genocidal slaughter of innocent men, women, children and babies in Gaza. Trump has an opportunity to pick up many of those voters by showing a little compassion for the Palestinian victims. But what is Trump doing? He continues to vociferously support Israel’s ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Palestinian people. Rah-rahing Israel’s war in Gaza might sell well with Republican audiences, but those people are not going to put Trump back in the White House by themselves. I expect Harris to make some kind of overture to the pro-Palestinian Democrats and Independents in an attempt to gain their support. I’m not sure she’ll be able to do it, however. She is just as controlled by the Zionist lobby as Biden, Trump, Schumer, Johnson and all the rest of the corrupt politicians inside the Beltway. So, what could easily happen in November is that thousands of voters—who usually vote Democratic—will just sit out this election. But if GOP strategists think that those folks sitting out will be sufficient to toss Trump the election, they are taking a huge gamble. Add to Trump’s enslavement to his own ego and narcissism events like this: Former First Lady Melania Trump has hosted her first major 2024 presidential campaign event on behalf of her husband, Donald J. Trump, at the couple’s Mar-a-Lago resort residence, raising over $1 million for the pro-LGBT GOP group Log Cabin Republicans. Like their woke neo-Marxist Democrat counterparts, the Log Cabin Republicans declare on their website “that being a member of the LGTBQ community is something that should be celebrated.” Whether wittingly or not, by including themselves within that powerful, divisive political “LGTBQ community” identity, the Log Cabin Republicans and their supporters – including Former President Donald and Melania Trump – are aligning themselves with Marxist political power. The business world—including Harley-Davidson—has already discovered that going woke means going broke. Of course, politicians don’t have to worry about going broke as long as they have the Israeli lobby footing the bill. Does Trump really believe that he is going to gain enough woke enthusiasts to overbalance the number of conservative Republicans who are repulsed by such actions? Trump must be assuming that Republicans will vote for him no matter what he does. And on that point, he might be right. But some constitutional conservatives won’t forget that Donald Trump appointed more CFR/Bilderbergers to his administration than Joe Biden or Barack Obama. Usually, when the economy of the country is in as bad of shape as ours is now, the incumbent party loses a presidential election, war or no war. That’s why I said at the beginning of this column, this election should be a landslide win for Trump. And if Robert Kennedy decides to end his campaign and endorse Trump, which is being reported he will do, that would be a significant boost to Trump’s election chances. Again, this election is Trump’s to lose. But if he keeps trying hard enough, he just might do it. © Chuck Baldwin |
Hot News of the day.
America Has Only Two Religions: Democrat And Republican
| Published: Thursday, August 15, 2024 |
Poll after poll describes how religious America is. It is true that at its inception, and for over 150 years following, America was indeed a very religious nation. In fact, without the strong Christian convictions of the Pilgrims, Puritans and Patriots, the United States would have never come into existence. That statement is indisputable.
After the Second World War, however, America began experiencing a gradual but undeniable transmutation. During the 1950s, Christian fervor in America was still very much intact. But after the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963 (which coincided with prayer and Bible reading being removed from America’s public schools), things began to drastically change.
The Deep State’s war in Vietnam created more than an unconstitutional war abroad; it started a war between the American people at home. The uber-Zionist Lyndon Johnson and his war-obsessed administration produced the “Hippie” generation, which, while doing much good in promoting the principles of peace and anti-war fervor, also brought about the great evil of a promiscuous “free love” drug culture that lingers to this day. It’s a shame that it wasn’t the Hippies’ anti-war culture that stayed with us.
On the heels of the warmongering Lyndon Johnson, whose loyalty to Israel was so strong that he was willing to collaborate with the Zionist state in assisting and covering up its attack against the USS Liberty at the onset of Israel’s invasion of its Arab neighbors in 1967 during the Six-Day War, came the corrupt Richard Nixon. Nixon not only took America off the gold standard (which hit the launch button for our ensuing debt-driven economy) but he also made the support and buildup of Communist China official U.S. policy. Of course, Nixon’s corruption caught up with him at Watergate.
For all intents and purposes, that was the last time the mainstream media lived up to its responsibility to be a watchdog over government corruption. The media showed the dark reality of Democrat Lyndon Johnson’s war, forcing his decision to not seek reelection, and the dark reality of Republican Richard Nixon’s corruption, forcing his resignation. But that was before the media became a stool pigeon for Zionist money interests. We haven’t had a free press since.
The election of ethically corrupt Bill Clinton shocked Christians in America, and Ronald Reagan (and later G.W. Bush) stole their hearts on the rebound. The result was that a religious/political marriage took place between the Republican Party and evangelicalism. (I was in the inner circle of GOP politics and a leader in the Moral Majority at the time and witnessed this unholy union up close and personal.)
Meanwhile, ultra-left progressives in the Democratic Party were mesmerized by the Marxist Barack Obama. At that point, America’s great divide was firmly entrenched in the psyche of American politics. Then came Donald Trump, and the divide widened exponentially.
I’ll let Attorney John Whitehead take it from here:
Politics has become our national religion.
While those on the Left have feared a religious coup by evangelical Christians on the Right, the danger has come from an altogether different direction: our constitutional republic has given way to a theocracy structured around the worship of a political savior.
For all intents and purposes, politics has become America’s God.
Pay close attention to the political conventions for presidential candidates, and it becomes immediately evident that Americans have allowed themselves to be brainwashed into worshipping a political idol manufactured by the Deep State.
In a carefully choreographed scheme to strip the American citizenry of our power and our rights, “we the people” have become victims of the Deep State’s confidence game.
In this particular con game, every candidate dangled before us as some form of political savior—including Donald Trump and Kamala Harris—is part of a long-running, elaborate scam intended to persuade us that, despite all appearances to the contrary, we live in a constitutional republic.
In this way, the voters are the dupes, the candidates are the shills, and as usual, it’s the Deep State rigging the outcome.
Terrorist attacks, pandemics, economic uncertainty, national security threats, civil unrest: these are all manipulated crises that add to the sense of urgency and help us feel invested in the outcome of the various elections, but it doesn’t change much in the long term.
No matter who wins this election, we’ll all still be prisoners of the Deep State.
Indeed, the history of the United States is a testament to the old adage that liberty decreases as government (and government bureaucracy) grows. To put it another way, as government expands, liberty contracts.
When it comes to the power players that call the shots, there is no end to their voracious appetite for more: more money, more power, more control. Thus, since 9/11, the government’s answer to every problem has been more government and less freedom.
What we are dealing with is a rogue government whose policies are dictated more by greed than need. Making matters worse, “we the people” have become so gullible, so easily distracted, and so out-of-touch that we have ignored the warning signs all around us in favor of political expediency in the form of electoral saviors.
Now read the remaining paragraphs very carefully.
Yet it’s not just Americans who have given themselves over to political gods, however.
Evangelical Christians, seduced by electoral promises of power and religious domination, have become yet another tool in the politician’s toolbox.
For instance, repeatedly conned into believing that Republican candidates from George W. Bush to Donald Trump will save the church, evangelical Christians have turned the ballot box into a referendum on morality. Yet in doing so, they have shown themselves to be as willing to support totalitarian tactics as those on the Left. [Emphasis added]
This was exactly what theologian Francis Schaeffer warned against: “We must not confuse the Kingdom of God with our country. To say it another way, ‘We should not wrap Christianity in our national flag.’”
Equating religion and politics, and allowing the ends to justify the means, only empowers tyrants and lays the groundwork for totalitarianism.
This way lies madness and the certain loss of our freedoms.
If you must vote, vote, but don’t make the mistake of consecrating the ballot box.
Amen, Mr. Whitehead! I couldn’t have said it better myself.
I have no knowledge of Whitehead’s personal faith, but what he said about evangelical Christians is 100% spot-on. And it’s what I have been saying for decades.
In my former pastorate in the deep south, when I called out Democrat Bill Clinton for his unconstitutional, tyrannical conduct, my congregation loved me and called me a hero. But when I called out Republican G.W. Bush for the same kind of conduct, I was called a traitor, and several people stormed out the back door. A similar thing happened here in Montana. When I called out Barack Obama, evangelicals loved me, but when I called out Donald Trump, they hated me.
(Thankfully, the core of Liberty Fellowship have remained steadfast, loyal supporters of both the Biblical/constitutional principles of Liberty and the doctrines of Christ’s New Covenant which I teach. I love and appreciate these wonderful people very much.)
But the principles I advanced were exactly the same during each administration. But evangelicals only appreciated the principles when they applied to Democrats. Republicans are exempt from truth, righteousness and constitutional fidelity.
I believe that our loyalty as American citizens is not to political parties but to the principles enshrined in our Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights. And as disciples of Jesus Christ, our allegiance is due not to church denominations but to the immutable truths of God’s Holy Word.
But evangelicals have become as politically rotten as secularists. They will overlook almost any act of treason or tyranny in the name of preserving the power of the Republican Party. To them, the GOP stands for God’s Own Party.
In a way, America’s evangelicals are similar in philosophy to Israeli Zionists. The IDF can commit ANY act of barbarism, torture or crimes against humanity, because they believe they are “God’s chosen people” and, therefore, can do ANYTHING—no matter how heinous—to their fellow man.
In like manner, evangelicals worship at the altar of the Republican Party, and GOP presidents can commit any act of terror against other nations, because they are acting out of some sort of self-ascribed exemption from the rule of law and obligation to humanity demanded in God’s Natural Law, because, as Republicans, they are doing God’s service, and the end really does justify the means.
Democrats behave the same way, except from a mostly secularist perspective.
Let me ask you something: What difference does it make if treason, tyranny or terrorism is committed by a Democrat or a Republican? Treason is treason; tyranny is tyranny; and terrorism is terrorism no matter what party label the traitor, tyrant or terrorist goes by.
Almost every church in America today is defined by an “R” or a “D.” For the most part, ecclesiastical labels are not nearly as important as party labels. Pandering politicians are far more popular than plucky pastors who put principles over party.
This is one reason why a sizeable number of “pastors” are so very extremely careful to not say anything that could be construed by a church member as being “political,” because if the statement seems to give preference to one party over another or seems to besmirch one party more than another, the rush to the back door will be on.
What these “pastors” don’t understand is when true men of God in the pulpit talk about the principles of honesty, integrity, humanity, decency, truth, righteousness, etc., in government, they are NOT talking about politics. God’s Word has as much to say about good government as it does about good parenting, good business practices, good education, good behavior, etc. As did the Apostle Paul, pastors should be declaring “all the counsel of God.” (Acts 20:27) (Emphasis added) That includes what God says about government, political parties notwithstanding.
But because today’s evangelicals worship political parties and not the truths of God’s Word that govern the affairs of government and ignore the divine principles upon which good government rests, our country continues to spiral downward no matter which party is in power.
Again, this is due to the idolatrous homage that evangelicals—and almost everyone else—give to the god of politics. Accordingly, America has only two religions: Democrat and Republican.

My Questions Regarding The Trump Shooting
Published: Thursday, July 18, 2024
Okay. Okay. Every talking head from every medium in the world has already given their analysis of the Trump shooting in Pennsylvania. I almost decided to NOT write on this because, after all, virtually everything that can be said about it has been said—everyone from the conventional, mockingbird media to the most fanciful conspiracy theorist and everyone in between.
But, alas, here I am writing about the Trump shooting. At this point, I have mostly observations and questions regarding those observations—quite a few questions.
My biggest questions concern the Secret Service (SS) itself. I’ve heard people say that the SS was ordered to “stand down,” thus giving the shooter a prime position and plenty of time to take his shot. I even saw a video of one guy who claimed to be one of the SS snipers in the now-famous photos who said he had the bad guy in his sights for over 3 minutes and was ordered to not fire. I will not even begin to comment on the legitimacy of that claim.
But based on the reasonable takeaways from the footage that we all have seen repeatedly, I have several serious questions, most of which concern the Secret Service as an agency.
First, it defies all logic that the professional federal agency tasked with the sole responsibility of protecting America’s presidents, vice presidents, their wives and families as well as the major presidential candidates could be as lax, as unprofessional and as downright inept as what we witnessed last Saturday.
What? A twenty-year-old man with a rifle climbs on and then crawls across the roof of a building a mere 130 yards away from Trump? Are you kidding? That’s Keystone Cops-level incompetency.
Spectators saw the man for several minutes (at least 3 or 4) crawling his way into position. They shouted the warning to both local and federal police officers about what was happening, and nothing was done. Yeah, I know one cop supposedly tried to pull himself up on the roof, and the bad guy pointed his gun at him, so he dropped to the ground. Again, more Keystone Cops stuff.
Why did the SS NOT recognize that rooftop as a high-priority area and have agents posted there before people even started arriving? Even amateur security people would have noticed and protected that vulnerable position.
To me, that is the single most glaring question in this entire episode. To not have protected that position was imbecilic to a magnitude that was off the charts. Use any word you want: Stupid. Inept. Idiotic. Sophomoric. Moronic. Dumb. Unbelievable. Unfathomable. Nincompoopish. They all fit.
I can easily understand why some people are saying that the SS was told to “stand down” or deliberately leave this location unguarded. It’s hard to fathom a professional agency trained to protect America’s presidential personnel showing themselves to be that inept.
But what if they really ARE that inept?
The one thing I’ve heard very few people discuss is how four years of the Biden administration’s moronic Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies have affected agencies within the federal government.
Colonel Douglas Macgregor and other military professionals have been warning the American people for over three years as to the deleterious effects that Biden’s DEI policies have had in weakening the U.S. military. Seasoned pilots have been sounding the alarm for the same amount of time about the way Biden’s DEI policies have reduced the overall proficiency status of America’s airline industry. One pilot said words to the effect that it’s only a matter of time before an airliner falls out of the sky due to lax policies enacted to accommodate Biden’s DEI agenda.
Folks, just look at EVERY federal agency. Inefficiency, incompetence and indifference rule. Look at the U.S. Postal Service. Look at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Look at the Department of Transportation. Look at the Agriculture Department, the Education Department, many of our U.S. ambassadors, our Secretary of State, the Pentagon, the BATFE, the FBI, ad infinitum. Under Joe Biden, the entire federal government is in the hands of a bunch of woke, DEI nincompoops.
And that’s exactly what we saw at the Trump rally last Saturday from the Secret Service.
One thing that leads me to believe that this was not a serious Deep State effort is the shooter himself: a young man with no military training; a kid who was kicked off his high school rifle team because he was such a lousy shot. And a lousy shot he really was.
Had professionals inside the Deep State really wanted to kill Trump, a professional sniper could have done the job with one shot from a mile away and not even been seen. This Crooks idiot fires 5 – 8 shots (depending on who is telling the story) and only manages to graze Trump’s right ear with one of the shots? And some witnesses said his rifle was even scoped. Maybe his marksmanship skills were so bad he didn’t even know how to properly sight in his scope.
I am a fair shot. I have hunted and shot pistols and rifles (and shotguns to a lesser degree) for over 50 years. I dare say I could hit a melon-size object with a rifle from 130 yards (even using aperture sights) all day long. Give me a scoped rifle on a steady rest, and my score would increase exponentially. And I am FAR from being an expert. Experts don’t miss—especially from 130 yards. For a real marksman, 130 yards is a “chip shot.”
I’ll tell you what this has accomplished: It has made Donald Trump invincible. He’s being called “Braveheart” at the Republican National Convention. Evangelicals are comparing him to Jesus Christ. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) said it was her belief that Trump’s and Jesus’ personal sacrifices were “identical.” What sacrilege—and idolatry!
I have tried to warn people from Trump’s first administration that the man is NOT a Washington outsider. He is NOT anti-establishment. He is NOT anti-Deep State. Trump was, is and always will be a conman.
It will not surprise me one bit if, after becoming president, Trump launches an anti-Second Amendment attack against AR-15 rifles like we’ve never seen before. He’s already on record as supporting Red Flag gun confiscation laws. Don’t be surprised if he uses his attempted assassination as a rallying cry to confiscate all semi-automatic rifles in the country. He could do what no Democrat could ever do. Wait and see.
Again, what is the end product?
The end product is that Donald Trump is now a martyr. He is more popular than at any time before. He is now regarded as the uber-leader. Unless something happens on a supernatural level, Trump is now politically invincible. This event secures Trump’s victory in November.
So, if the idea was to really take Trump out, it was a colossal failure!
But I’m not finished with my questions. I’m thinking now about what we witnessed on the stage.
When Trump’s ear was grazed, he instinctively grabbed his ear and dropped to the ground. That would be a very natural reaction. But what the SS did next was more Keystone Cops stuff.
First, it seemed to take forever for agents to get into a position to protect Trump. We saw one SS agent so befuddled, she seemed to not have any idea what to do. At first she drew her sidearm; then she fumbled around attempting to re-holster her sidearm. Indecision. Lack of training. Unprofessionalism. And the rest of the agents simply huddled around Trump at the base of the podium.
The podium holding the lectern was quite narrow. Bodies, including Trump’s, were exposed to any further shots or shooters (had there been more than one). Question: Why did they keep Trump on the stage for so long? It was almost a full minute before they tried to escort him off the stage. In that situation, a minute was an eternity. And then when they did attempt to take him out of the area, they allowed the 6’3” Trump to stand up erect with his head and orange hair fully exposed to the public as he shook his fist in the air.
What???
During all of that, Trump was still very much a viable, visible target. Are these really the most highly trained professional bodyguards in the world?
If the shooter had any brains, all he needed to do was pour his second volley of five or six rounds at the base of the podium, and there would have been several dead bodies, including Trump and some of the SS agents. That skinny podium offered ZERO protection against a high-powered rifle.
In my former pastorate, I had a very large pulpit that was made from solid oak. It weighed over 400 pounds. Four strong men could only move it a few feet at a time. After I began my radio talk show, it didn’t take long for death threats to start coming in. This was in 1994.
One of the members of my congregation was a former police officer and ex-Green Beret. He organized our first safety team at the church. I might add that most of the rest of the pastors and churches in the area laughed us to scorn for being so “faithless” as to have an in-house safety team. Of course, you can hardly find a church today that doesn’t have their own in-house safety team—or the larger, richer ones pay professionals to guard the services. But at the time, we were the very first church in our area to have such a team.
One of the first things that the former police officer and ex-Green Beret did was to line the inside of that giant oak pulpit with heavyweight Kevlar, so, in the event of an attempted assassination, I could duck inside that pulpit and have a genuine layer of protection around me.
The podium Trump used in Pennsylvania was NOT designed to stop a bullet. Of that you can be certain. So, why did those SS agents keep Trump huddled at the bottom of the skinny podium for so long?
I confess, it seems to me that these people were hired from a DEI-preferred roster the week before, given 40 hours of introductory training and sent out to guard the Republican nominee for president.
We can (and will) spend the next several years conjecturing about conspiracy theories—and some of them will probably be accurate. But the one thing I believe we can all take away from the Trump shooting is the degree to which the woke agenda has wreaked havoc with the most basic functions of the American government—and American society.
If America’s Secret Service is THAT inept at protecting a presidential nominee, do we really think that our woke-obsessed Pentagon and DOD are going to do any better in a war with Russia?
What we all witnessed last Saturday was a Red Alert as to how deeply into the muck that the woke agenda has plunged us.

This Memorial Day, How About We Remember Our Founding Fathers?
| Published: Thursday, May 23, 2024 |
At no other time in human history did our Creator assemble a generation of freedomists such as America’s Founding Fathers. However, since the woke crowd gained control of just about everything (including our churches), America’s great Founding Fathers are belittled, besmirched, condemned, castigated, impugned and insulted on a daily basis nationwide. It is no hyperbole to say that the current generation of Americans knows next to nothing about the greatest generation of freedomists to ever live: the generation of America’s founding.
Instead of listening to anti-America, anti-God, anti-freedom people in America’s newsrooms, classrooms and cloakrooms, we need to listen to America’s founders themselves. That’s why I created and published the greatest collection of America’s founding documents in one book that I call THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS.
We began offering the very popular FREEDOM DOCUMENTS over 20 years ago, in which we compiled dozens of the greatest documents of American history in one beautiful volume. I say beautiful, because the cover of this great book will complement any library, dining room table or nightstand.
This column is the announcement that THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE NOW.
This is the Expanded Edition of THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS, which includes 57 of America’s most important historical documents and 212 full-size (8½ x 11) pages.
This volume of documents is an almost perfect compilation of the most important documents of liberty and constitutional government ever produced. And it is available ONLY HERE.
This Expanded Edition of THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS includes such documents as:
*The Earliest Formal Protest Against Slavery
*New York Sons Of Liberty Resolutions On Tea
*Dr. Joseph Warren’s Account Of The Battle Of Lexington
*Of Monarchy And Hereditary Succession, From “Common Sense,” By Thomas Paine
*Richard Henry Lee’s Resolution For Independence
*The Kentucky And Virginia Resolutions Of 1798
*Andrew Jackson’s Veto Of The Bank Bill
*Declaration Of The People Of Texas
*Abortion And The Conscience Of The Nation, By Ronald Reagan
*Ron Paul’s Farewell To Congress
Documents such as these are also included:
*The Mayflower Compact
*The First Thanksgiving Proclamation
*The Rights Of The Colonists, A List Of Violations Of Rights, And A Letter Of Correspondence, By Samuel Adams
*The Complete Text Of Patrick Henry’s Immortal “Give Me Liberty, Or Give Me Death” Speech
*The Declaration Of The Causes And Necessity Of Taking Up Arms
*The Northwest Ordinance Of 1787
*The Virginia Bill Of Rights
*The Articles Of Confederation
*George Washington’s Farewell Address
*Texas Declaration Of Independence
And many more.
The poem about Paul Revere’s ride and the letter written from within the Alamo by William Barret Travis to the people of Texas are also in the book, along with, of course, the Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. We have also expanded the number of letters written between John and Abigail Adams and the prayers of George Washington—along with many others.
Again, there are a total of 57 of the most important liberty documents in U.S. history included in this giant compilation.
The Expanded Edition of THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS also includes many new introductions. The introductions by themselves are a great history lesson.
THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS is assembled with a ring spine for easy copying.
Now, more than ever, these historic documents contain the Spirit and Pride of REAL America.
This giant book is an excellent resource for high school and college students—as well as homeschoolers. Pastors, teachers, physicians, business owners, attorneys and judges have purchased THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS with extreme satisfaction.
The Tennessee State Supreme Court also ordered several copies of THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS. Plus, a county sheriff in Montana ordered copies for each of his deputies.

Constitution Party founder and former presidential candidate, the late Howard Phillips, said,
THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS is a must-read for every American. It is essential that this volume be placed in every home in the country. I read my copy daily. We require our homeschooled children to study THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS.
Here are some other personal testimonials of people who have purchased THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS:
PC, Tennessee:
Please thank Dr. Baldwin for THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS. I could not put the book down and through tears, renewed encouragement rose within me. I will be sharing this book.
BM, Sarasota, Florida:
I received THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS yesterday. It is the most magnificent, comprehensive, collection I’ve ever seen presented in a perfectly designed book! I’m overwhelmed with the beauty of the Documents from beginning to end. Dr. Baldwin was greatly inspired and gifted to have created this masterpiece so desperately needed in our collective time of need.
DQ, Dallas, Georgia:
I will use these documents to teach my grandkids of our heritage.
CL, Arizona:
I am so happy to see these History changing documents available. We Homeschooled our 4 children using these documents. My oldest is a Drill Sergeant and shares the Historical facts with his troops. Most haven’t a clue what their “Oath of Service ” means let alone Protects. My youngest son is in the Army. He shares the Historical facts he learned with his fellow soldiers; they hardly understand what America is. There is no argument with Historical documentation. Thank you!
ND, Englewood, Florida:
I already have a copy, but my husband just ordered 2 copies to give to 2 business leaders and I am giving one to a friend and one to a pastor. Thank you for this magnificent compilation.
JN, Post Falls, Idaho:
I’m looking forward to sending one of these to each of our seven children.
EF, Pensacola, Florida:
I LOVE your FREEDOM DOCUMENTS book! It was the ‘text’ for educating my children in the documents essential to understanding what made this nation exceptional. Keep up the good work in publishing this. Please send me five additional copies.
SM, Redlands, California:
I have just started homeschooling my 12-year-old and this is a perfect resource!
RK, Austin, Texas:
Thank you, Dr. Baldwin, for compiling this fantastic collection of documents. I have purchased copies for our children, copies for our closest friends and copies for the children of our closest friends. Again, thank you! Besides the Bible, this is the best book I have read in a long time.
John, Queensland, Australia:
You will be most happy to know that this morning THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS arrived. I went into raptures. I cherish my FREEDOM DOCUMENTS. Thank you, Pastor Chuck, for getting it into one binding and making it possible to hold such priceless documents for what is really a frugal price.
KT, Massachusetts:
I have begun reading through my copy of THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS. I must admit, I was somewhat skeptical of the price before purchase, but now that I am reading it, I understand what a bargain it is! Priceless!
WS, Mansfield, Texas:
THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS could save our country if we can get enough people to order it.
GB, Oakhurst, Oklahoma:
I just wanted to say that I received my order and they are great! This is by far the best collection I have seen. I am a disabled Vet and would like to order 5 more to send to my children.
SO, Ocala, Florida:
I am a deacon in our church and hope to use these books as teaching aids. Please send four copies.
I believe you will be just as pleased to receive your copy of THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS as were these folks.
Again, here is the link to order THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS.
Notice how many people are ordering THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS for their children and grandchildren. This is for good reason. We know the public schools stopped educating students regarding real American history decades ago. And sadly, most private, parochial and Christian schools do not teach much U.S. history either—especially when it comes to the content of these great documents.
The unfortunate reality is, if most young people do not obtain THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS, they will grow into adulthood having never read the vast majority of these wonderful historical documents. I remember being required to study some of these great documents in public school when I was a youngster. But those days are long gone.
More than one person has told me that once they started reading THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS, they could not stop. They have told me that as they read these great documents, the feeling of national pride swelled in their hearts like never before. These documents will truly inspire (or re-inspire) the great feeling of American patriotism like little else will.
And why not? These are the documents that came from the minds and hearts of the great men and women who birthed and built this wonderful country. I am sure that the Spirit of ’76 will swell in your heart, too, as you read THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS.
If things keep going the way they are, it won’t be long, and THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS could be the only place left where you can read the truth of America’s history from the ones who made it.
Remember, this is a special, limited printing, and our supply will not last long. So, order now!
One more time, here is the link to learn more about or to order the Expanded Edition of THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS.
This Memorial Day, how about we remember our Founding Fathers?

Constitutional Sheriffs Event Offers Solutions, Fake Media Loses It
|
LAS VEGAS — Sheriffs have the power and the duty to stand for the U.S. Constitution they swore an oath to uphold, and to protect the rights of the people in their counties, regardless of what state or federal authorities might do, explained a wide range of speakers including sheriffs, media personalities, victims of political persecution, businessmen, and military leaders.
Respect for the oath of office to the U.S. Constitution was one of the clear messages from the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association’s (CSPOA) “Resist the Temptation” conference on April 17. That constitutional mandate applies to everything from elections and immigration to free speech and even the protection of order from lawlessness, the lawmen and their allies heard.
The event made headlines worldwide and was broadcast globally by FrankSpeech, reportedly being seen live by more than 50,000 people. Videos from the event continue to circulate widely on social media and beyond.
Organized by CSPOA founder Sheriff Richard Mack and CEO Sam Bushman, a syndicated radio host, the summit brought together an impressive array of Trump insiders, lawmen, elected officials, and experts. Each had unique insights and perspectives to share. Taken together, the speakers offered a long list of action items for the law-enforcement community and for citizen activists concerned about America.
Sheriff Mack, who served two terms as sheriff in Arizona, sued the Clinton administration in the ’90s over a gun-control bill that he refused to enforce. The case eventually made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of sheriffs and against the Clinton gun-control scheme.
In the landmark decision, Printz v. United States, the Supreme Court, citing the 10th Amendment and more, ruled once again that the federal government could not “commandeer” state or local governments. Known as the “anti-commandeering doctrine,” the case upholds the Constitution’s reservation of powers not delegated to the federal government to states and the people.
Numerous speakers at the event touted the ruling as key, not just for sheriffs but also for state and local governments. Hundreds of sheriffs nationwide are members of CSPOA and have been trained on their authority under the U.S. Constitution and common law, as well as the details of the 1997 ruling.
Unsurprisingly, federal supremacists and totalitarians seeking to centralize coercive power in Washington, D.C., are on the warpath against Mack and CSPOA. And the dishonest attacks by the media offered fresh evidence that constitutional sheriffs are a major thorn in the side of those who would run roughshod over the rights of Americans.
Several sheriffs offered ideas for their colleagues in other counties. One of the lawmen who spoke at the conference, Klickitat County, Washington, Sheriff Bob Songer, explained how sheriffs across the nation could deputize citizens and form a posse. Sheriff Songer, whose posse includes some 150 carefully screened citizens, even offered his department’s policy manuals and guidelines for other sheriffs across the nation who may wish to set up their own.
In an interview with The New American magazine, Sheriff Songer noted that the radical left was furious about his decision to supplement his department’s ranks with everyday citizens. However, considering the savings to taxpayers and the need for more manpower in everything from search and rescue to dealing with potential threats to the community, Songer said creating a posse could be helpful to law-enforcement nationwide.
Another chief law-enforcement officer (CLEO) with experience deputizing citizens was Sheriff Glenn Hamilton of Sierra County, New Mexico, who went on stage with Pastor Caleb Cooper of New Hope Revival Church. When state authorities demanded lockdowns and claimed churches were not essential during Covid, Cooper knew he could not close his doors.
The only thing worse than having somebody die from Covid because his church stayed open, Cooper told state police, would be having somebody die of Covid without having heard the Gospel and ending up in hell. “We just could not close our church,” Cooper told The New American magazine, emphasizing the importance of the Church continuing to shine the light in dark times. “We are essential.”
Cooper and Sheriff Hamilton devised a plan. Because law enforcement was considered essential and was therefore not subject to the lockdown orders, Sheriff Hamilton went to New Hope Revival Church right before Resurrection Sunday and deputized the entire congregation. “I would have deputized every man, woman, and child in my county if that is what it took,” Sheriff Hamilton told The New American in an interview.
The whole saga was featured prominently in the documentary Non-Compliant 2 by KrisAnne Hall. It was contrasted with the outrageous behavior of an anti-constitutional sheriff in Florida, who arrested a pastor for refusing to shut his church before Governor Ron DeSantis shut down the rogue sheriff by declaring churches essential. As Sheriff Hamilton explained, almost all New Mexico sheriffs also resisted unconstitutional abuses against gun rights in the state.
A third lawman who spoke at the summit, Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf, offered details of his ongoing investigations into irregularities in the 2020 election. Upon being given evidence of alleged criminal acts, Sheriff Leaf said he had a duty to investigate. And yet, instead of helping get to the bottom of it, state officials including the far-left attorney general responded by waging war on Sheriff Leaf and his efforts.
“It’s been nothing but walls and having to knock down walls to get to the information that I need to get to,” Leaf told The New American in an interview before his talk. “The walls being put up are probably the most frustrating — and walls put up by people you’d think would be helping you out in an investigation, like the attorney general’s office and the secretary of state.”
Considering the enormity of the crimes being alleged and the significance of them, Sheriff Leaf told The New American that there should have been a task force of local, state, and federal law enforcement investigating. “Everybody should have been involved in it,” he said. “There’s a lot to this. I think we would have had this all resolved by now if we had done that.”
“You’re talking about, potentially, the greatest fraud ever committed in the world — committed on the American people,” added Sheriff Leaf.
Numerous other sheriffs have also opened investigations into widespread reports of voter fraud and election crimes. In fact, at a previous CSPOA event in Las Vegas, this writer interviewed more than half-a-dozen sheriffs for The New American who were trying to get to the bottom of it all, only to be viciously attacked by the far-left media, the Democratic Party, and their allies.
Other highlights of the conference included a speech by former National Security Advisor General Mike Flynn (Ret.), who also served as a top intelligence official responsible for coordinating federal, state, local, tribal, and international intelligence. Among other topics, Flynn discussed his new documentary, Flynn, exposing how and why the Deep State targeted him as the first one of Trump’s key officials. In an interview with The New American, he noted that the DVD had soared to number one in Amazon’s DVD sales. “Remember, local action for national impact,” Flynn told the crowd.
Pointing to the open border and the ongoing invasion of hostile military and terrorist forces, veteran Boone Cutler, an associate of Flynn’s who helped write the book on Fifth Generation Warfare, announced a new training program for law enforcement on irregular warfare. Saxon Aerospace founder John Ferguson also offered resources to help law enforcement prepare for tough times ahead, later telling The New American that the nation might already be lost.
Also speaking was MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, a leading voice calling for election reforms to restore confidence and integrity to voting. In an interview with The New American, he called for citizens to sign the petition at LindellOffenseFund.org for paper ballots and hand counting in elections. Especially urgent: getting rid of the machines that can be hacked.
Popular radio host Wayne Allyn Root enthusiastically called on Americans to get involved in the freedom fight, too.
Former Mesa County, Colorado, Clerk Tina Peters, who uncovered serious problems with the election and has been ruthlessly persecuted for speaking out, gave an update on her efforts. And former Arizona Representative Mark Finchem, who is running for state Senate and is endorsed by Donald Trump, also gave an update on his lawsuits against election fraud.
Dr. Richard Fleming, a medical doctor, attorney, and physicist, discussed the bioweapon attack on humanity in the form of the Covid injections. He urged viewers to contact their state attorneys general with a letter demanding action.
FreeAndEqual.org chief Christina Tobin, who is seeking to provide a platform for candidates outside the two-party duopoly, spoke on how the establishment seeks to keep Americans trapped in either the Republican or Democratic parties.
Several victims of the January 6 persecution by the Biden Department of Justice, including Casey Cusick and Tom Hamner, spoke about the horrors they endured, and yet offered a message of hope.
Also speaking were two congressmen targeted by the Deep State for speaking out, Steve Stockman of Texas and Steve King of Iowa.
Former Congressman Stockman explained how the Obama administration went after him with a vengeance, squandering over $20 million in tax dollars and going through multiple grand juries until they could find one willing to help in the persecution. He was eventually jailed in federal prison and treated terribly until Trump commuted his sentence. He urged Americans to pray for and write to former Arkansas State Senator Jon Woods, who was also persecuted by the same forces and remains behind bars in atrocious conditions.
Former Congressman King of Iowa, meanwhile, was smeared by the far-left media with fake allegations of racism until he was run out of office. During his talk, he exposed the “carbon capture” scam, the ongoing attack on private-property rights, the globalist undermining of national sovereignty, and more.
South Dakota farmer Jared Bossly, a victim of the “carbon capture” scheme, shared details of what is happening in his state and beyond.
Entrepreneur Patrick Byrne, former CEO of Overstock.com, gave a detailed presentation on Deep State activities and how to fight back.
This writer, who served as the emcee, also spoke on the importance of the oath of office and the biblical foundations of law and resistance to tyranny.
Estimates cited in news reports suggest about 10 percent of the nation’s sheriffs are members of CSPOA.
As always happens when influential conservatives gather to effectively oppose tyranny and globalism, the establishment media, which was crawling all over the event, pretended to be outraged. The far-left U.K. Guardian, for instance, ran a propaganda piece demonizing the event before it even happened under the headline “‘Danger to our democracy’: fears over Trump allies’ summit with far-right sheriffs.”
Shortly after the conference finished, fringe left-wing activist Brandy Zadrozny, who repeatedly cackled as political prisoners shared horrifying details of abuse in federal prison, ran a vicious hit piece attacking the gathering. “A sheriff, a felon and a conspiracy theorist walk into a hotel. They’re there for the same conference,” screamed the headline. “The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association is urging lawmen to form posses, seize voting machines and investigate baseless claims of voter fraud.”
Virtually all of the attack pieces masquerading as journalism misrepresented the CSPOA and what it teaches its members, the public, and the nation’s sheriffs. The NBC “News” report by Zadrozny, who several attendees said has a reputation for lying and dishonesty, offered a representative example of the lie: “The group sees sheriffs as the highest authority in the U.S., more powerful than the federal government.”
Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. Not one person at the summit or at CSPOA has ever claimed that a sheriff has more power than the federal government. However, it is a fact that sheriffs are the chief law-enforcement officers in their jurisdiction, that they are not accountable to or employed by the federal government, and that they all have an obligation to obey their oath of office to the U.S. Constitution and their state’s constitution — not enforce federal regulations and statutes.
Virtually all of the establishment media left before the press conference, when they would have had the opportunity to ask most of the speakers anything they wanted. Instead, they simply lied or distorted what the speakers said and what the CSPOA and its members stand for.
Despite the hatred from the totalitarian media, the event was very well received by attendees and online viewers. Multiple law-enforcement officials told The New American magazine that they learned a lot. In the end, it may well be the nation’s sheriffs and state governments who stand between citizens and the escalating lawlessness and tyranny that is overtaking the nation.

Why Almost Nothing Changes When Republicans Are Elected
| Published: Thursday, March 7, 2024 |
Before digging into the title of this column, I need to call your attention to what I said in this column of February 8:
As I said, among the millions of illegals that have entered the U.S. are untold thousands of drug cartel members. These men are among the most violent and bloodthirsty people in the world. Murder is a part of their daily routine. Human life means absolutely NOTHING to them. And Biden has given them everything they need to set up their butcher shops in America.
When my oldest son worked as a police officer, he told me, “Dad, you would not believe how much human trafficking is taking place right under our noses in this country.” He said, “America is inundated with gang-related human trafficking.”
The most prominent trademark of these drug/human trafficking cartels is the way they behead (and often dismember) their victims—and the victims are not dead when they are decapitated either.
To date, I’ve only seen two news accounts in the mainstream media documenting beheadings in the U.S. One case was in Minnesota, and the other case was in California. Both beheadings took place after Biden took office, and in both cases the perpetrators of these vicious crimes were illegals. Of course, Minnesota and California are Democrat open-border states with major sanctuary cities.
My point is, there is no telling how many cartel beheadings have already taken place in our country, as the pro-illegal aliens Zionist news media will doubtless do their best to hide these atrocities from the American people, lest we become enraged and rise up en masse against these open-borders politicians like Joe Biden.
Well, please let me call your attention to a recent report out of Long Island, NY:
A park in Babylon, Suffolk County reopened Friday after the discovery of several body parts belonging to a man and a woman the day before.
The Suffolk County Medical Examiner says a female head, right upper leg, left leg from the knee down and right arm and two male arms were found, and autopsies are underway to determine the identities of the victims and what happened to them.
It is believed that the female body parts are that of an adult woman.
When officers arrived and searched the area, they found a second arm about 20 feet from where the first arm was found.
Police say both appear to belong to a man.
Police said that the decapitations and body dismemberments were an “isolated” case and no one else is at risk.
These pro-open borders devils in government stay in a constant state of denial. In their hearts (if they have one), they KNOW that illegal alien drug and human trafficking cartels are pouring across the border in waves. They KNOW that these gangs are some of the most wicked, bloodthirsty and violent people on earth. Yet, they continue to try and convince the U.S. citizenry that we are in NO DANGER.
As I said before, ARM YOURSELVES, because there is no State and no city big or small that does not have illegal alien gangs in their vicinities, and these illegal alien gangs are growing and expanding exponentially. Folks, get it through your heads: The America we used to live in is G-O-N-E, GONE. In this illegal alien gang-infested America, NO ONE IS SAFE!
Now, why almost nothing changes when Republicans are elected.
When I first arrived in Montana in 2010, there were two men here that I knew to be among the most constitutionally astute, steadfast and dependable scholars in the State. One is former State legislator Rick Jore and the other is former State legislator and Public Service Commissioner—and an associate of Rep. Ron Paul—Roger Koopman.
Roger is the head of a grassroots organization called Montana Conservative Alliance. This organization has been tabulating the constitutional scores of Montana State representatives and senators for years. And Roger has just released the 2023 tabulations.
First, I need to let Roger explain the basis for his tabulations and why almost nothing changes when Republicans are elected:
You’ve no doubt seen a number of purportedly “conservative” ratings of legislative voting records, put forth by various groups. Generally, these indexes mimic the positions of the house and senate GOP leadership, and not surprisingly, almost all Republican legislators score high.
Is this approach a reliable indicator of true conservatism? We think not. Often, these reports are very misleading, and help return to office Republican politicians who are fundamentally not free market conservatives, and who should be replaced. There is, in fact, a significant percentage of Republican legislators who are guilty of:
(1) voting with the Democrats to defeat key conservative legislation, with the best bills usually getting killed in committee. Thus, session after session, the conservative agenda goes nowhere.
(2) introducing a flood of bills that are anti-market, anti-liberty, and that progressively increase the size, power, cost and interventionism of state and local government. Because these big government measures are “Republican sponsored,” they stand a much better chance of passage. Republicans who we think should know better, line up to support their fellow party members. As a result, no matter how large the GOP majority, state government continues to grow every time the legislature meets.
MCA has always refused to play the “party politics game.” Those who do so only perpetuate the problem. Our rating system is quite unique – independent of any “party” and totally focused on ideas and principles rather than on currying favor from appreciative politicians. Let the truth be told, unapologetically, and trust that an informed citizenry will then be equipped to do the right thing.
When you take a close look at GOP legislative voting patterns, suddenly something screams out at you. The assumption that most elected Republicans believe and understand the philosophical foundations of freedom, free markets and constitutional government is simply not true. They may be very nice people, who “say” conservative things, but if they truly understood the ideas and principles that undergird our free republic, they simply could not, in good conscience, vote the way they do.
A true conservative, in our view, is not only guided by principle, but is ideologically and philosophically consistent. Looking at any given bill, a conservative instinctively knows if that measure is based on a proper and constitutional function of government. He instinctively knows if the bill advances or diminishes human freedom, and votes accordingly. He doesn’t compromise. Legislation that has “good intentions” is not good enough. Bills that are “half good and half bad” are bad bills. Period. Push the red button – even if you are the only one in the room who does.
When the average conservative, pro-liberty score among 101 GOP legislators is 37 percent – meaning that, based on the index bills MCA carefully selected, the typical Republican legislator voted to defend your freedom just over one-third of the time– we are led to ask the obvious question: are the Democrats any more consistent as liberals, than the Republicans are as conservatives? Or perhaps an even better question is, are the liberal Republicans more consistent and more dedicated to what they believe than the self-described conservatives? To both forms of the question, the answer is YES!
We have not bothered to score the Democrats in this report, but it’s fair to say that they would average no more than 5 to 10 percent conservative. That’s being generous. Every single Democrat among 49 legislators would fall under the “statist/left” category. They are ideologically very consistent. But consider the Republicans, where only 16 out of 101 made it into the conservative zone, while 36 scored either liberal or far left. Why, then, do liberals vote so philosophically consistent, while the best of conservatives cannot get scores above 81%?
This constantly vexing question can only be briefly addressed here. But the short answer is this: It is easy for a politician to be a liberal, and much harder to be a conservative. If you are a liberal (Republican or Democrat,) you simply accept the assumption that while freedom might be a quaint idea, when it comes to solving problems, government must step in. You buy into the statist notion that the purpose of government is to fix what freedom and free people mess up. As a lawmaker, you lock in to the premise that every problem requires a government response. (Never mind that government intervention created the problem in the first place.) This elevated view of one’s job is a heady and prideful experience, that makes a legislator feel extremely important – even indispensable! By believing that every problem has a government solution, these so-called “solutions” become easy to vote for. Every recipient of your “generosity” will appreciate you on election day! Not surprisingly, the left wing of Republican legislators actually even calls itself “The Solutions Caucus.” When the session ends, these liberals can go home and brag to their constituents about how many government “solutions” they supported — while at the same time complaining about the “obstructionists” on the far right, whose only answer to everything is more freedom and less government. Guilty as charged!
We don’t wish to imply that having a bad voting record makes you a bad person. It just makes you a bad legislator. Maybe taking time for personal study into the words of our founding fathers or the works of great thinkers like Thomas Sowell, Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, Adam Smith and Frederic Bastiat will provide the enlightenment necessary to turn these men and women into wise lawmakers someday – assuming they have the public-spirited humility to listen, to learn and to grow. In the meantime, it is quite evident that they lack the philosophical foundation needed to honor and protect our freedom.
Now, before I give you the bottom-line statistics from Roger’s tabulations, let me remind you that Montana is a Red State. And during the 2023 session (the Montana legislative session meets every other year) we had a Republican supermajority along with a Republican governor, which means Republicans had total control over the legislative agenda.
The Republican who was House Speaker had a reputation as being a solid conservative, including being VERY pro-life. Well, guess what? With a supposed pro-life Republican legislature, a supposed pro-life governor and a supposed pro-life House Speaker—and with a supposed pro-life Republican U.S. Supreme Court—the Montana legislature deliberately chose to NOT pass a Personhood Amendment. In fact, the supposed pro-life House Speaker even shut down attempts to bring a Personhood Amendment to the floor for a vote.
In 2023, the Montana legislature didn’t need Democrats to kill the most important and most powerful tool we have to stop legal abortions, a Personhood Amendment; the Republicans killed it all by themselves.
Now to Roger’s tabulations:
The HIGHEST constitutionalist score in both chambers, House and Senate, was 81%—Eighty-one percent! And only ONE senator and only ONE house member achieved that score. Only ONE! The average constitutionalist score of all the Republican senate members was 39%. Thirty-nine percent! The average constitutionalist score of all the GOP house members was 36%. Thirty-six percent! The constitutionalist average for the combined house and senate Republican members was 37%. Thirty-seven percent! (By the way, the House Speaker earned a constitutionalist percentage of 56.) That means that Republicans in the 2023 Montana legislature voted AGAINST the Constitution 63% of the time.
In other words, the vast majority of Montana’s Republican legislators in 2023 were either constitutionally illiterate or despicable cowards and traitors to the Constitution. And, folks, I assure you that if you applied Roger’s constitutional tabulations to your GOP State representatives and senators, you would find almost identical scores.
THAT’S WHY ALMOST NOTHING CHANGES WHEN REPUBLICANS ARE ELECTED.
Years ago, I had lunch with a sitting Republican county commissioner here in Flathead County. During our conversation, I asked him this question, “When you took your oath of office, what did you swear to do?”
He gazed at me in silence for a long time and then said, “I honestly don’t remember.”
When I reminded him that he took an oath to honor and follow the Constitution, he said, “I guess I haven’t read much about that.” I give him credit for being candid in his answer.
Folks, I promise you Donald Trump is as ignorant about the Constitution as Joe Biden. The overwhelming majority of government officials at any level (city, county, State or federal) know jack squat about the Constitution. Even worse is, they KNOW they don’t know, and they don’t CARE that they don’t know. The only time either side tries to quote the Constitution is when they think it might help their position. If they know their position is counter to the Constitution, they simply ignore the Constitution and maintain support for their position.
In other words, on the whole, our congressmen and senators from both parties are cheap, crooked charlatans and con artists.
But as long as we have an electorate that is ignorant of and apathetic to our Constitution, we will continue to elect and re-elect the same constitutionally illiterate, self-serving con men to be our governmental representatives.
So, while pro-Trump and pro-Biden sycophants escalate their biased zealotry for these two constitutional ignoramuses, the gangsters on Capitol Hill (Republicans and Democrats) continue to send billions of tax dollars and millions of tons of bombs and missiles to the gangsters in the Likud government in Israel to continue their genocidal mass murder of innocent women and children in Gaza.
AND NOTHING CHANGES. AND NOW YOU KNOW WHY.
P.S. We have just released my latest Prophecy Message (Number 20) entitled The Seven Vials With The Seven Last Plagues: Armageddon, taken from Revelation 15 and 16.
All I’ll say is, almost everything you’ve read or heard about Armageddon is patently untrue. I hope you’ll watch and share this message.

COVID-Con California
Scott N. Bradley | 05 March 2024
The California Bravo Sierra response to the COVID-Con was implemented 01 October 2021. Two and a half years ago. While California is regarded by many as the quintessential exemplar of the COVID blitzkrieg run amuck, most other states were right on track and target with their flavor of the Bravo Sierra, and had already embraced (or shortly would) the same of similar idiocy. In all cases the response was completely based upon false pretenses at EVERY level. No science, logic, reason, or intelligence held sway. Just like EVERYTHING associated with the COVID-Con, NOTHING was sound. Logic, reason, intelligence, religious verities, constitutional rule of law, medical protocols, scientific processes, and all societal norms were wholeheartedly abandoned. The modus operandi was tyrannically based.
Newsom’s California response reflected the official national mentality that permeated and continues to saturate the governmental and institutional psyche. And MAYBE Newsom has his sights set upon expanding his muddle-minded Bravo Sierra onto the national stage in the relative near future. Oh, woe is me!!!
Regardless of the universally accepted practice, the six foot spacing is admittedly an arbitrary made up standard.
The masks are demonstrably and admittedly ineffective, and are simply “holier than thou” virtue signals promoted to demonstrate compliance by the masses. Yes, and chain link fences keep mosquitos out, if you follow the official dogma.
Permitted gatherings with a maximum of only three households??? Hmm . . . Four households is the high threat number (especially when there is no definition of how large or small a household is).
Parties limited to two hours??? Germs have apparently been proven to have a history of slow starts that prevent them from mounting an assault prior to that time (I guess they have to evaluate the circumstances and rally the troops, and organize a plan of attack, and then muster their resources—-a lot of logistics, you know)????
Extended lockdowns that would cause the virus to lose hope of infesting someone and permanently going away and be eradicated, never to raise its ugly head again?? Locking and barricading your door is surely an effective means by which microscopic organisms may be frustrated.
Airplane rides where air is recirculated in the contained metal tube you are riding in. And where you sit masked shoulder to shoulder and two feet in front or in back of your fellow inmates, waiting to take your mask off when you get to eat your peanuts. Those pesky germs are kept at bay by the universal talisman called peanuts???!!!
“Vaccines”(falsely called) were developed at “warp speed” using an unproven theory (actually previously PROVEN to be both UNSAFE AND INEFFECTIVE in past experiments)?? Long established protocols for development and safety of medicine were wholeheartedly abandoned without valid reason or justification. EXPERIMENTAL jabs were developed and foisted upon humanity that had not been tested beyond mere minutes for any dangerous side effects that time has proven include stroke, blood clots, heart damage, organ failure, auto-immune responses (many expected to be lifelong), infertility, turbo-cancers, etc., and death.
Marketing slogans universally trumpeted by “news” commentators, politicians, “trusted” elected office-holders, “educators,” so-called “public health” officials, religious “leaders,” highly-credentialed medical mavens, bought and paid for celebrity endorsers, etc. based solely upon the developer’s efforts to sell their faulty and dangerous product became the watchwords of the day. Blather, blather, blather. Fake news displaced truth and became the only dogma of the day. Government censors collaborated with media and big tech to destroy one of the great protectors of liberty and proper government—freedom of the press and speech. Propaganda ruled without fear of exposure of the universal falsehood being promoted by the organs of communication. Throughout history no war has been waged by a nation that had a more complex and complete overthrow of truth in favor of the lies that were officially promoted.
Economic damage was inflicted upon individuals, families, and nations that cannot even be calculated, and may never be recouped. Many HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars were pointlessly and unconstitutionally pillaged from a bankrupt nation that borrowed on the backs of unborn generations of Americans.
Government seized private resources and expanded its death-grip on the throats of citizens in the name of falsely assuring security and safety. These encroachments are still enthroned in the seats of government today. In fact, these usurpations, imposed in the falsely generated time of fear and panic are currently being built upon by policy wonks and legislators that will never let a real or imagined emergency go to waste as they weave their web of deceit upon their subjects and serfs.
Educational destruction that is unrecoverable (both from a lost opportunity perspective, and from the perspective that falsehood has become the basis of institutional educational standard that advocates error as truth, and the wokism mentality—-mush for brains) has eradicated American academic ascendency
Tyranny that set aside (destroyed) individual God-given rights, including religious liberty, and the right to worship and serve our God and fellow-man, freedom of speech and the press, the freedom to assemble and express that which will restore and preserve liberty and proper government., etc. became the standard that yoked society to the new chains of bondage.
Conditions that continue to facilitate and accelerate the destruction of national sovereignty and Constitutionally-established governments are flourishing as governments flounder through their machinations. Illegal, unconstitutional “mandates” continue to be held as viable as if they were properly framed laws created within authorized limits, and many of those false usurpations are being given color of law by legislators and executives bent on covering their former and future tyrannical usurpations.
Unmitigated tyranny that prevented the most basic and essential human interactions such as the ability and right to buy, sell, interact and exchange were the rule of the day during the height of the panic, which was unceasingly fed by the talking-head media pundits that shilled the panic-fear.
The vast majority of the population was herded into testing pens to participate in false and useless diagnostic tests that, more often than not, resulted in false positives that were constantly trumpeted as dire statements of doom to feed the frenzy of hopeless panic. The inventor of the test decried its use, and tried to divert its application due to the fact he knew it was being promoted and falsely applied, but his efforts were ignored and discarded by an establishment-driven script that demanded the frenzy become universal.
With a few courageous, shining exceptions, the vaunted medical profession was largely silent in examining and promoting viable solutions. Medical modalities that experience proved were literal death sentences were clung to and carried out with religious fervor, with deadly and destructive outcomes. With their vaunted educations, the bulk of physicians should have stood in the gap as guardians of truth in their profession, and protectors of the ignorant. It would seem that physicians should be among the most culpable in their silence due to their extensive educations, and what they SHOULD know and stand for. The aphorism: “First, do no harm” was abandoned en masse by a largely complicit and compliant profession that should have been willing to stand as the first line of defense against the juggernaut of marketing hype spewing forth from eager profiteers and tyrants.
Legalized, institutionally approved protocol-mandated murder is still murder. And if the medical professionals were worried about their status and standing, be it social, or economic, or their responsibility to provide for their families, or whatever, the deaths and suffering of those who had the ignominious protocols inflicted upon them must be considered. The afflicted ones had social and economic status also, and they also had responsibility to provide for their families. What of them? And just as the excuse that they “didn’t know,” or “were just following orders” during the post-World War II Nuremberg trials did not provide cover or exoneration to those that carried out the horrific activities against those who suffered under their hands, the medical professionals must realize that they bear a duty to hold a higher standard of performance. As Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the dedicated anti-Nazis theologian who died at the hands of the Nazis regime wrote:
“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.”
Under the iron-fisted draconian mandates and modalities that were enforced under the fear-driven philosophy that they were carried out for the “good of society,” countless individuals suffered and died alone due to practices and treatment that forbid even the most basic of human caring and interaction!!
These and many other deleterious and egregious burdens have been imposed upon mankind, and the shackles and chains that are still being forged by those that seek to overthrow our liberty and proper government, and are embolden by the spineless lack of resistance of the sheeple, and the complicit assistance of institutions, useful shills and idiots, and governments will be yet made manifest.
Regardless of the universally repeated mantra, the phrase that the jab is “safe and effective” is and was simply marketing drivel offered as a profit-driven slogan.
A “Godsend”?? Indeed!! Perhaps if your god is Lucifarian, satanic, and diabolical that may be accurately stated.
And NO ONE who foisted this upon mankind has offered even the slightest breath of an apology for the death, destruction, tyranny, and suffering they inflicted upon their fellowman.
Abominable!!
Buckle up!! We ain’t seen nothing yet!
Joe Biden Should Be Charged With Treason For Refusing To Secure America’s Borders
| Published: Thursday, February 29, 2024 |
Almost everyone—including Democrats—knows that Joe Biden and his family are guilty of several acts of criminality, any one of which are impeachable offenses. One thing you can know about criminals: They stick together.
Therefore, it is little wonder why America’s criminal-in-chief would have no problem using his immense authority as president to facilitate and even pay Jewish criminal cabals to directly escort illegal aliens—many of them hardened criminals themselves—into the United States.
America is already beginning to experience rampant violence and mayhem being perpetrated by these criminal illegal aliens—multiplied thousands of whom operate as organized gangs, drug cartels, human traffickers and weapons smugglers.
If you were hoping that the United States would become a lawless society, you have now gotten your wish. Some of the numbers that I am about to share with you are just mind blowing. For example, I had no idea that police in New York City were injured by criminals thousands of times last year. All over the nation, law enforcement is losing control and violent criminals are getting the upper hand. We have never seen anything quite like this before, and I am entirely convinced that this crime wave is only going to get worse as economic conditions deteriorate. Even in our capital city, crime is completely and utterly out of control. If you can believe it, the number of carjackings in Washington D.C. was up 97.9 percent last year…
Police data show carjackings in the nation’s capital spiked by 97.9% in 2023 with 958 reported carjackings last year compared to 484 in 2022, with motor vehicle theft up 82% from 3,756 in 2022 to 6,829 in 2023. Vehicle theft in the greater Washington-Maryland-Virginia area also rose by 68% last year, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau.
Vehicle theft is even worse in some areas along the west coast.
In Oakland, approximately one out of every 30 residents had a vehicle stolen from them in 2023…
Robberies grew 38% last year in Oakland, according to police data. Burglaries increased 23%. Motor vehicle theft jumped 44%. Roughly one of every 30 Oakland residents had a car stolen last year, according to a San Francisco Chronicle analysis.
Other west coast cities are also experiencing unprecedented crime waves.
In Seattle, one restaurant has actually been broken into five times in the last six months…
There is no way that I would open a small business in Seattle.
Or Portland.
Or Oakland.
Or San Francisco.
Or Los Angeles.
Of course I could say the exact same thing about many cities on the east coast as well.
In New York City, police officers “are getting beaten at a record-setting pace”…
City cops are getting beaten at a record-setting pace — a disturbing and dangerous trend fueled by radical protests, an influx of criminal migrants, bail reform, anti-cop rhetoric and soft-on-crime prosecutors, experts told The Post.
The number of cops hurt by suspects surged 20% in 2022, when 4,724 uniformed officers suffered injuries in attacks, compared to 3,933 in 2021.
But the law enforcement nightmare grew worse last year, when 4,077 cops were hurt by suspects in just the first nine months of 2023 — on pace for a record-breaking 5,436 injuries, the latest NYPD stats show.
Of course the Biden administration has made the national crime wave significantly worse by allowing millions upon millions of migrants to come pouring over the southern border.
In fact, we just learned that police in the Big Apple have arrested a “very, very violent” migrant that shot a tourist in the leg “after opening fire in Times Square”…
Needless to say, our wide open borders have also made it easy for cartels to transport drugs all over the country.
There is nowhere that you can go in the U.S. to completely escape all of this.
From coast to coast, our society is literally coming apart at the seams.
You might want to think about that, because we really are right on the brink of an extremely apocalyptic chapter in human history.
But most people don’t want to think about such things.
Most people just want to stick their heads in the sand and pretend that everything is okay.
Illegal alien gangs are terrorizing major cities in our country—starting with Democratic strongholds (you know, the very ones that helped Biden carry out his demented open borders, invite-the-criminals-in policy).
Criminals posing as asylum seekers are turning American cities into war zones.
The Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, feared for how it tortures its victims, is setting up business in New York City, police sources reveal.
Gang members recruit migrants from shelters and as they come off buses from Texas, putting them to work in retail theft rings or on mopeds, grabbing phones and handbags and roughing up pedestrians.
“This is organized crime. It’s just like the Mafia,” says Paul DiGiacomo, president of the NYC Detectives’ Endowment Association.
FBI FEARS VENEZUELA MIGRANT GANG MEMBERS COULD POTENTIALLY TEAM UP WITH MS-13 KILLERS
NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban warns of a “wave of migrant crime.”
Migrants in moped gangs and retail theft rings, some carrying guns, are terrorizing the Big Apple, Yonkers and New Jersey.
Two-man teams snatch pedestrians’ phones and deliver them to Tren de Aragua stash houses, where professional hackers make fraudulent banking transactions and drain cash from all accounts. Then the phones are wiped clean and shipped to South America for resale.
A 62-year-old woman was brutally dragged down a Brooklyn street by one of these moped thieves who made off with her purse. When you see mopeds, step back from the curb and hug the building – advice usually needed in a third-world city, not New York.
A shopper at JD Sports near Times Square was shot in the leg by baby-faced, 15-year-old migrant Jesus Alejandro Rivas-Figueroa when a security guard tried to stop him from robbing the store on Feb. 8. Figueroa whipped out a .45-caliber handgun and shot into the crowd.
Chicago is also being terrorized. There, professional criminals enlist migrants from the shelters to raid luxury stores at the suburban Oakbrook Center shopping mall, 20 miles west of downtown. These migrants wouldn’t have a clue where Oak Brook, an upscale suburb, is, or how to get there without the criminal masterminds.
South American gangs are turning suburban malls into danger zones, explains retired Riverside, Illinois, Police Chief Tom Weitzel. “You’re at one of the suburban malls… pushing your kids in a stroller” and you can get caught in the violence, he said in an interview with Fox News.
“A lot more crossing the border are criminals or have criminal intent than is being publicly said,” Weitzel added.
Paul Mauro, a retired inspector of the NYPD, agrees. The claim that Venezuela is emptying its prisons is accurate, he suggested in a separate interview with Fox News.
Blame President Biden’s open borders, but also the soft-on-crime Democrats in New York and Illinois, whose policies almost guarantee that migrant criminals can rob and assault without ever going to jail.
Right here in Montana, Mexican drug cartels have set up shop on several Indian reservations. And cartel violence is being felt outside the reservations.
Multiple Stabbings in Montana by Illegal Alien Suspects
At least three people have been seriously injured in separate incidents involving illegal alien suspects in Big Sky Country this month.
Illegal aliens have been arrested following multiple unrelated stabbing attacks in Montana in February, according to reports.
At least three people have been seriously injured in separate incidents involving illegal alien suspects in Big Sky Country this month.
On February 4, Flathead County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) deputies were called to the scene of a crime in Kila, approximately 10 miles from Kalispell in Northwest Montana.
They encountered “an undetermined number of people in need of medical care,” including at least one person suffering from stab wounds, the Daily Inter Lake reported earlier this month.
Two suspects fled the scene but were later apprehended by Kalispell Police.
Little information was released about the suspects, but Montana radio host Aaron Flint later confirmed they were both illegally present in the U.S.
“Flathead County’s Sheriff’s Office coordinated efforts with the US Border Patrol and Homeland Security for the deportation process of two individuals. Due to their violent behavior and immigration status, we worked with Federal officials on their removal,” FCSO explained in a statement to Flint.
Flint says a spokeswoman for Flathead County also told him, “yes, the two who were handed over to Homeland Security were illegally in Montana/the US.”
On February 10, two more bloody attacks involving illegal alien suspects unfolded in Bozeman, some 300 miles from Flathead County.
Andres Felipe Lara Gonzalez, 25, and Santiago Machado Echeverri, 21, were each charged with two counts of attempted deliberate homicide and two counts of tampering with evidence and each ordered held on $300,000 bail.
Open borders have consequences. Horrific ones.
Laken Riley is far from the first American murdered by illegal aliens. Many of these have been documented over the years. But her death is directly connected to Biden’s decision to maintain an open border and free the invaders coming across it.
While Biden and the Democrats harp on their “border deal”, the administration refused to stop releasing illegal alien invaders. Indeed the so-called deal added barely a week’s worth of detention capacity.
Instead, Biden insisted on releasing illegals into America. This is the result.
The illegal immigrant arrested for killing a Georgia nursing student crossed the border in Texas Sept. 8 last year and was sent to a processing facility there, but was quickly released before being put on a bus to New York City, where he was later busted and set free again, his wife told The Post.
Jose Antonio Ibarra and wife Layling Franco of Venezuela entered El Paso together with her 5-year-old son, she said.
The family was then sent to the Big Apple Sept. 15, where Ibarra posted smiling, carefree pictures of himself on social media in Times Square and Rockefeller Center.
The body of Laken Riley, an Augusta University student who once attended UGA, was found Thursday in a forested part of the UGA campus after she had gone for a run.
Ibarra was arrested and charged Friday with malice and felony murder, aggravated battery, kidnapping, concealing the death of another and other charges in the killing of in the death of [sic] the 22-year-old.
It’s a typical story and the end isn’t too atypical either. The Biden administration keeps escorting in and releasing illegal alien invaders. A mass invasion is being enabled. Horrifying things are happening as a result.
America, arm yourselves! Your country is being invaded by some of the most evil, violent, murderous vermin known to man. Even in small towns, children should never be unsupervised and unprotected, and women and young girls should not walk or run in remote or isolated places by themselves. Even in public places, everyone should be on high alert.
The America we once knew is GONE! Societal breakdown has already begun. The criminals in Washington, D.C., have destroyed the real America—especially the criminal-in-chief Joe Biden. He should be charged with treason for refusing to secure America’s borders, along with every other politician who encouraged and assisted his treachery.

The livestream will begin this Sunday at approximately 2:30pm Mountain time. Watch the livestream here.

Scott Bradley Speaks Against the Constitution Conventional at the Boise, Idaho State Capitol
VIVA, Tucker!
Published: Thursday, February 15, 2024
By sitting down and having a prolonged, meaningful, televised, face-to-face discussion with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, Tucker Carlson likely delayed global nuclear war.
Of course, the War Party in Washington, D.C., and its lackeys in the mainstream media are crucifying Tucker to no end. You see, Tucker Carlson did the unthinkable (and unpardonable): He conducted a televised interview with the second most powerful leader in the world without the controls and restraints of the Deep State. He went off the reservation. He allowed Mr. Putin to talk freely and directly to the American people. And the War Party guardians of discourse were helpless to stop it.
It has been decades since a majority of the American people have been able to hear or see unfettered, unrestrained, uncontrolled, unscripted, truthful news reporting. Decades! Tucker Carlson tore down the media’s Iron Curtain.
VIVA, Tucker!
There has been much written and said about Tucker Carlson’s interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week. As of this writing the video on Twitter alone has been viewed nearly 200 million times, making it likely the most-viewed news event in history.
Many millions of viewers who may not have had access to the other side of the story were informed that the Russia/Ukraine military conflict did not begin in 2022, as the mainstream media continuously reports, but in fact began eight years earlier with a US-backed coup in Ukraine. The US media does not report this because they don’t want Americans to begin questioning our interventionist foreign policy. They don’t want Americans to see that our government meddling in the affairs of other countries – whether by “color revolution,” sanctions, or bombs – has real and deadly consequences to those on the receiving end of our foreign policy.
To me, however, perhaps the most interesting aspect of the Tucker Carlson interview with Putin was the US mainstream media reaction. As Putin himself said during the interview, “in the world of propaganda, it’s very difficult to defeat the United States.” Even a casual look at the US mainstream media’s reporting before and after the interview would show how correct he is about that. In the days and weeks before the interview, the US media was filled with stories about how horrible it was that Tucker Carlson was interviewing the Russian president. There was the danger, they all said, that Putin might spread “disinformation.”
That Putin might say something to put his country in a better light was, they were saying, reason enough to not interview him. With that logic, why have journalism at all? Everyone interviewed by journalists – certainly every world leader – will attempt to paint a rosy picture. The job of a journalist in a free society should be to do the reporting and let the people decide. But somehow that has been lost. These days the mainstream media tells you what to think and you better not dispute it or you will be cancelled!
What the US mainstream media was really worried about was that the “other side of the story” might start to ring true with the public. So they attacked the messenger.
The CNN reporting on Tucker’s interview pretty much sums up the reaction across the board of the US mainstream media. Their headline read, “Tucker Carlson is in Russia to interview Putin. He’s already doing the bidding of the Kremlin.”
By merely doing what used to be called “journalism” – interviewing and reporting on people and events, whether good or bad – one is “doing the bidding” of the subject of the interview or report?
No wonder fellow journalist Julian Assange has been locked away in a gulag for so many years. He dared to assume that in a free society, being a journalist means reporting the good, the bad, and the ugly even if it puts those in power in a bad light.
In the end, the massive success of the Tucker Carlson interview with Vladimir Putin demonstrates once and for all that the American people are sick to death of their mainstream media propagandists and liars. They are looking not for government narratives, but for truth. That’s the really good news about this interview.
VIVA, Tucker!
This week, the biggest news story in the entire world is Tucker Carlson’s interview with Vladimir Putin. Honestly, it was kind of a bizarre interview, and you can watch it for yourself below. But I give Tucker Carlson a ton of credit for going to Russia and sitting down with Putin. I think that the real reason he did this is because he wanted to see for himself if there is any hope of avoiding a cataclysmic conflict between our two nations. Every day we get even closer to the unthinkable, and so it would make sense for both sides to pursue a peaceful way out of this mess. But at this point the western elite are not interested in peace, and they don’t want any talk of peace in the media. So they are going to great lengths to discredit Tucker Carlson’s interview with Putin, because they don’t want their carefully crafted narratives to be disrupted.
Michael is right: “The western elite are not interested in peace, and they don’t want any talk of peace in the media.” That’s why I said at the beginning of this column:
By sitting down and having a prolonged, meaningful, televised, face-to-face discussion with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, Tucker Carlson likely delayed global nuclear war.
VIVA, Tucker!
Carlson, himself, gave a brief follow-up review of his interview with Putin to RT.com. Here are a few of Carlson’s takeaways:
Putin the diplomat
Carlson did say that Putin seemed willing to negotiate with the West about both the end of the Ukraine conflict and a new balance of power in the world. Diplomacy is the art of compromise, and almost everyone “other than maybe the United States during the unipolar period” understands this, Carlson said. But while Putin wants the conflict to end, his position will only harden the longer it goes on, he added.
NATO and Russia
Since the entire point of NATO was to keep the Soviet Union out of Western Europe, Carlson said in Dubai, “if the Russians ask to join the alliance, that would suggest you have solved the problem and you can move on to do something constructive with your life. But we refused.”
“Go sit in the sauna for an hour and think about what that means,” he added.
The problem with Western politicians
Politicians in the West aren’t setting themselves “achievable” goals, Carlson has argued.
“I have heard personally US government officials say well we just have to return Crimea to Ukraine,” he said. “That’s not going to happen, short of a nuclear war. That’s insane, actually.”
Even bringing up this kind of idea “shows you are a child, you don’t understand the area at all, and you have no real sense of what’s possible,” the journalist concluded.
It’s always Munich 1938
According to Carlson, one of the biggest issues in the US and the West in general is the tendency to reduce everything to the 1938 Munich conference, at which Britain and France sought to “appease” Nazi Germany by giving it a portion of Czechoslovakia.
“The American policymaker historical template is tiny – in fact there’s only one – and it’s a 2-year period in the late 1930s, and everything is based on that understanding of history and human nature. That’s insane,” Carlson said.
How Moscow ‘radicalized’ him
Carlson pointed out that he’s 54 and grew up in an America that had nice, safe and beautiful cities, “and we no longer have them.”
It was “radicalizing” to see Moscow “cleaner, safer and prettier” than American cities, he said, or be reminded of that in Dubai and Abu Dhabi – while in the US, one can’t ride the subway in New York City because it’s dirty and unsafe.
Reacting to the backlash
Asked why he hadn’t raised certain topics with Putin, Carlson said he wanted to do the interview because he was interested in how the Russian leader saw the world – and not to inject himself into the discussion.
Most journalists who interview leaders the US dislikes tend to make it about themselves, Carlson added, and since he only cared about the approval of his wife and their children, he didn’t need to virtue-signal.
Asked to comment on former US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton calling him a “useful idiot” for Russia, Carlson laughed it off.
“She’s a child, I don’t listen to her,” he said. “How’s Libya doing?”
VIVA, Tucker!
Perhaps the biggest takeaway from the interview for me personally was something that was so blatantly obvious—and something of which I have heard no one else discuss: Vladimir Putin has more brain power than Joe Biden (DUH!), Donald Trump and the entire U.S. Congress combined.
Because of America’s controlled media, most of us Americans have never once had an opportunity to watch and listen to Mr. Putin in any sort of unrestricted and elongated discussion. It was obvious from the opening five minutes of the interview that Putin is SMART—DANG SMART!
I think Putin caught Tucker a little off guard at the beginning of the interview, and for an obvious reason: Tucker is accustomed to interviewing America’s shallow, shortsighted, self-absorbed STUPID politicians. When you sit down with a real scholar, you’re in another universe.
This reminded me that there are some really smart people on the other side of the world, people that our inept American politicians and news media don’t want to talk to—at least not publicly. Now, it’s easy to see why they don’t want to engage in any kind of lengthy public discussion with these folks. They will make our pathetic politicians and journalists look like the imbeciles they really are.
They also might cause the American people to ask, “Tell us again why we have to fight so many of these stupid, unnecessary wars?”
Like Putin or not, agree with anything Putin said or not, Tucker Carlson had the guts to defy the entire Deep State elite and do what America’s journalists are supposed to do: sit down with world leaders—even those on the other side—and have sincere, meaningful, public discussions. As most intelligent people know, sincere, meaningful, public discussions between nations are a necessary component of peace.
I think Michael at Citizen Watch Report might have said it best:
The western elite are not interested in peace, and they don’t want any talk of peace in the media. So they are going to great lengths to discredit Tucker Carlson’s interview with Putin, because they don’t want their carefully crafted narratives to be disrupted.
Truth!
Since G. W. Bush and Benjamin Netanyahu’s “war on terror” doctrine was implemented at the turn of this century, the American government has been nothing more than an international “war state.” The victims of our unconstitutional, illegal, immoral and unjust “war on terror” would probably call Washington, D.C., a “terror state.”
I’ll say it one more time:
By sitting down and having a prolonged, meaningful, televised, face-to-face discussion with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, Tucker Carlson likely delayed global nuclear war.
VIVA, Tucker!

The Greatest Purveyor of Violence In The World
By Sheriff Richard Mack
The ‘I Have A Dream’ speech by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King will live on for many years in the public consciousness, and for good reason: This speech – delivered on August 28, 1963 – creates a powerful vision of a world where all people are treated as equals, and has been an inspiration to millions. However, it was not just this speech but his huge body of work that made him a significant figure in American history. And as he lived for nearly five years after proclaiming ‘I Have A Dream,’ this alone was likely not the thing that got him killed. There was another speech – given almost four years later on April 4, 1967, at the Riverside Church in New York City and exactly one year to the day before his assassination – that may hold that distinctive honor. His closest friends and staff called this his finest and most powerful speech, but it was also his most controversial. It’s known today as the ‘Beyond Vietnam’ speech.
It was 15 years after his assassination in 1983 that President Ronald Reagan signed legislation proclaiming Martin Luther King Day a Federal holiday, and another 17 years until it was recognized by all 50 states. Schools, banks and all government offices close the third Monday of each January as we honor the memory and message of Dr. King. This holiday is unique for several reasons. For one, it was the first Federal holiday named after a specific person (although some states refer to it as ‘Civil Rights Day’, Wyoming calls it ‘Wyoming Equality Day’ and Alabama and Mississippi – in an act of pure passive-aggressive defiance – have combined it with their celebration of the famed Confederate Civil War general Robert E. Lee. Secondly, the legislation for MLK day designates it as “a day on, not a day off.” It is intended to be a day of remembrance and activism, and Americans are encouraged to find common causes and methods of improving their communities.
Will anyone play the historic ‘Beyond Vietnam’ speech as they celebrate MLK day this year? Not likely. Dr. King struggled with this speech immensely as he wrote it the days preceding his appearance. I invite you to read transcripts and commentaries available from many sources online, but here are some excerpts from this amazing dissertation, given to a standing-room-only crowd made up mostly of white people:
“I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today: my own government… If America’s soul becomes totally poisoned, part of the autopsy must read, ‘Vietnam’.”
Perhaps not too surprisingly, the morning after his speech Dr. King was blasted by the national media and many politicians calling him a traitor and a liar. FBI director J. Edgar Hoover used this speech to justify illegal monitoring, wiretapping, and surveillance of this American Baptist Preacher (even though this had been going on for years before what they labeled as his anti-government rant.)
President Lyndon B. Johnson was enraged by Dr. King’s accusations, and for good reason. JFK tried to prevent the Vietnam War, but as soon as Johnson took over the Presidency pursuant to Kennedy’s assassination, he did just the opposite. As reported in The Pentagon Papers, through lies and misinformation, Johnson dedicated his presidency to sending hundreds of thousands of U S troops into Asia to fight in a politically fabricated war where – among many other atrocities and waste of human life – black soldiers were ‘given the honor to serve’ and used as shields and pawns. This was one of the reasons Muhamed Ali refused to answer his federal draft notice. Ali was charged criminally for failing to go to Vietnam but was exonerated by the United States Supreme Court.
Prior to the speech King and Johnson were friends, but afterward, LBJ publicly criticized King’s Riverside Church speech. Even some people within the Civil Rights movement spoke out against Dr. King’s speech. The hate and attacks against Dr. King were so egregious and ubiquitous that Dr. King could not deal with it all. Sources close to him later reported he felt lonely and depressed. His doctor suggested that he seek psychiatric counseling, but his staff warned him not to do so because they feared his arch enemy, the FBI, would discover it and paint a picture to the world of him as being unstable and crazy. Needless to say, Dr. King refused the counseling.
The $34 trillion question (that’s the amount of our current national debt, thanks to corrupt politicians spending money we do not have) is simply this: Has corruption within the Federal Government and FBI decreased since the 1960’s? Lamentably, no. Things have gotten even worse. America is run by the bullying and cruelty of bureaucrats who seek to control our lives with excessive regulations and policies. Justice is often non-existent and corrupt politics rule the courts and legislatures. Our borders are controlled by cartel gangs, and international terrorists have infiltrated our country by the tens of thousands. And all this to make certain that 40 million illegal aliens can be added to the voter rolls nationwide. (And by the way, for those of you who still think there was no election fraud, all this counts as election fraud!)
I believe Dr. King’s statement about the soul of America being poisoned has proven to be prophetic. The increase in crime, drugs, human trafficking, murders, sexual exploitation of children, the lack of national security and fabricated false-flag wars are but collateral damage to those who have orchestrated this chaos with their primary goal as the ultimate destruction of our own country.
Dr. Martin Luther King told the truth in 1967 and one year later died from an assassin’s bullet. James Earl Ray was accused of King’s murder; he even initially confessed to it. However, just days later he recanted his confession, proclaimed his innocence and demanded a trial. But the government refused to give him one! No doubt, they feared such a trial might expose too much. MLK’s son Dexter King met with James Earl Ray in prison. Dexter asked Ray directly if he had killed his father, and Ray said he did not. Dexter King then said, “I believe you and my family believes you.” The King family testified in a court of law, asking and pleading for their own government to allow James Earl Ray to have a trial, but the request was denied. Why would the government refuse a trial that had the complete support of the widow and fatherless children of Dr King? Why? Well, take a big guess who the King family thought had a hand in the assassination of their father and husband. That’s right! The greatest purveyor of violence in the world.

What Really Happened On October 7? Is Mike Johnson A True Pro-Liberty Speaker?
| Published: Thursday, November 2, 2023 |
Let me remind readers that whenever the entirety of the mainstream media, politicians from both parties and religious leaders from both the right and the left start talking from the same script, start singing the same song and start chanting the same litany over and over and over and over again, YOU ARE BEING BRAINWASHED WITH LIES.
Examples of the above:
9/11
Covid
The Ukraine war
And now the Israeli war against the Palestinians
Almost NOTHING that we are being told is true. The “prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2) is marshaling his demonic forces together to deceive the world (Revelation 12:9). As with the 9/11 narrative, Covid narrative and the Ukraine war narrative, so, too, the narrative regarding the events of October 7 in Israel is pure deceit.
Writing for TheCradle.co, Robert Inlakesh and Sharmine Narwani report:
Two weeks after the Hamas breakout assault on Israel on 7 October, a clearer picture of what happened – who died, and who killed – is now beginning to emerge.
Instead of the wholescale massacre of civilians claimed by Israel, incomplete figures published by the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz show that almost half the Israelis killed that day were in fact combatants – soldiers or police.
In the interim, two weeks of blanket western media reporting that Hamas allegedly killed around 1,400 Israeli civilians during its 7 October military attack has served to inflame emotions and create the climate for Israel’s unconstrained destruction of the Gaza Strip and its civilian population.
Accounts of the Israeli death toll have been filtered and shaped to suggest that a wholesale civilian massacre occurred that day, with babies, children, and women the main targets of a terror attack.
Now, detailed statistics on the casualties released by the Israeli daily Haaretz paint a starkly different picture. As of 23 October, the news outlet has released information on 683 Israelis killed during the Hamas-led offensive, including their names and locations of their deaths on 7 October.
Of these, 331 casualties – or 48.4 percent – have been confirmed to be soldiers and police officers, many of them female. Another 13 are described as rescue service members, and the remaining 339 are ostensibly considered to be civilians.
While this list is not comprehensive and only accounts for roughly half of Israel’s stated death toll, almost half of those killed in the melee are clearly identified as Israeli combatants.
There are also so far no recorded deaths of children under the age of three, which throws into question the Israeli narrative that babies were targeted by Palestinian resistance fighters. Of the 683 total casualties reported thus far, seven were between the ages of 4 and 7, and nine between the ages of 10 and 17. The remaining 667 casualties appear to be adults.
The numbers and proportion of Palestinian civilians and children among those killed by Israeli bombardment over the past two weeks – over 5,791 killed, including 2,360 children and 1,292 women, and more than 18,000 injured – are far higher than any of these Israeli figures from the events of 7 October.
Aviva Klompas, a former speechwriter for the Israeli mission to the UN, was the first Israeli of note to spread the claim that there were reports of “Israeli girls being raped and their bodies dragged through the street.”
She posted this on X at 9:18 PM (Palestine time), on 7 October, although an op-ed Klompa published with Newsweek at 12:28 AM (Palestine time), on 8 October, made no mention of any sexual violence.
Klompas is also the co-founder of Boundless Israel, a “think-action tank” that works “to revitalize Israel education and take bold collective action to combat Jew-hatred.” An “unapologetically Zionist” charitable group that works to promote Israeli narratives on social media.
The Hamas plan
There is little to no credible evidence that Palestinian fighters had a plan to – or deliberately sought to – kill or harm unarmed Israeli civilians on 7 October. From the available footage, we witness them engaging primarily with armed Israeli forces, accounting for the deaths of hundreds of occupation soldiers.
More questions than answers
It is essential to recognize that in many reports by western journalists on the ground, the majority of information regarding the actions of Hamas fighters comes from the Israeli army – an active participant in the conflict.
Emerging evidence now indicates that there is a high probability, especially due to the scale of the infrastructural damage, that Israeli military forces could have deliberately killed captives, fired on incorrect targets, or mistaken Israelis for Palestinians in their firefights. If the only source of information for a serious claim made is the Israeli army, then it has to be taken into account that they have reason to conceal cases of friendly fire.
Israeli friendly fire was rampant, even in the days that followed, from an army with very little actual combat experience. In the city of Ashkelon (Askalan) on 8 October, Israeli soldiers shot dead and shouted insults at the body of a man they believed to have been a Hamas fighter, yet later realized they had executed a fellow Israeli. This is just one of three such examples of friendly fire in one day, resulting in the killing of Israelis by their own troops.
In the meantime, Palestinian civilians in Gaza endure ongoing, indiscriminate attacks with the most sophisticated heavy weapons in existence, living under the persistent threat of forced and potentially irreversible displacement. This Israeli air blitz was made possible only by the flood of unsubstantiated ‘Hamas atrocities’ stories that media began to circulate on and after 7 October.
I encourage you to read the entire report.
Of course, the propaganda of Hamas trying to “wipe out” Israel—along with the Israeli-contrived stories of Hamas atrocity—instantly made the entire news media, political establishment and evangelical churchdom jump into the same bed: all of them making love with the darling of deception, darkness and destruction: Zionist Israel.
Evangelical preachers quickly dusted off their notes from Darby, Scofield, Larkin and LaHaye and began saturating the airways with the “signs” of Jesus’ return and how everyone must come to the aid of Netanyahu’s apartheid state.
One would think that people would catch on to this charade at some point. These phony prophecy preachers use the same Bible verses to make the same worn-out predictions about Israel and the Second Coming year in and year out, decade in and decade out.
Furthermore, one would think that someone would ask the question: Wait a minute! According to Scofield Futurism, before Jesus can return, the “antichrist” is going to appear on the global stage and make a peace treaty with Israel, which he will break. Upon which, he will begin a wholesale slaughter of the Israeli people (Darbyites call them “Jews”). Only then, at the last minute, like the 7th Cavalry coming to rescue the doomed settlers from the savage Indians, Jesus comes.
So, the question is: If this is the way all of this must happen (because that’s what the Book of Revelation teaches), then why all the fuss and bother by evangelicals to come to Israel’s assistance? Are they not impotently interfering with God’s plan?
Oh! That’s right! They aren’t going to be here for all of that, because they will be “raptured” to Heaven beforehand.
Still, evangelicals have made Israel an idol. Their very faith system depends on Israel. Take away Israel, and most evangelicals no longer have a faith system. Yet, the evangelical belief system regarding Israel demands that the “antichrist” rise up and slaughter it before Christ returns.
So, the thinking goes something like this: We can’t let Hamas or Hezbollah or Syria or Iran destroy Israel; we must make sure that only the “antichrist” does it. “So, why can’t Hamas be the ‘antichrist’?” you ask. Because the evangelicals haven’t been “raptured” yet, Silly.
Folks, don’t try to make sense out of Scofield Futurism; it is a nonsensical fairytale.
The point is: Here we go again with the mainstream media, political parties on both sides of the aisle and evangelicals everywhere all uniting together in Covid/Ukraine lockstep for the Israel war narrative.
Even the new “conservative” Speaker of the House, Michael Johnson, is singing from the same sheet of music.
Louisiana Republican Mike Johnson has been chosen as the new Speaker of the House of Representatives, ending the three-week drama. Representative Johnson has a reputation as a fiscal and social conservative. He has at times opposed funding the Ukraine war, suggesting he may be open to non-interventionist arguments or at least unwilling to give the military-industrial complex a blank check. However, he also supports giving Israel “whatever it needs” to defeat Hamas. [Meaning Johnson is another Zionist-bought U.S. politician.]
Speaker Johnson has suggested that another short-term continuing resolution to avoid a government shutdown may be necessary to ensure the House is not pressured into passing an omnibus spending bill at the end of the year. He has said he wants to pass individual spending bills through the House. This could help restrain spending.
However, Speaker Johnson should not trade away the leverage a potential shutdown gives fiscal conservatives. A Speaker who is truly committed to individual liberty and who understands the urgent need to cut government spending would be willing to shut down the government if that is what it takes to get Congress to make real spending cuts. This hypothetical pro-liberty Speaker would refuse to bring any bill increasing any spending in any area to the House floor unless it offsets the spending increases with equal or greater spending cuts.
A pro-liberty Speaker would work to repeal unconstitutional federal programs, agencies, and departments. Instead of replacing Obamacare with Obamacare Light, a pro-liberty Speaker would work to repeal all federal intervention in healthcare and restore patient control via tax credits and expanded Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). Instead of No Child Left Behind 2.0, a pro-liberty Speaker would work to shut down the unconstitutional Department of Education.
A pro-liberty Speaker would form coalitions with antiwar progressives to defund all unconstitutional military operations, bring the troops home, dramatically cut spending on militarism, and forbid funding for wars not declared by Congress [AMEN!]. There could also be a left-right populist coalition formed to end corporate welfare and all other federal regulatory and spending legislation that benefits large financial institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and other big businesses [AMEN!]. The savings from those cuts could be used to support those dependent on government programs while Congress phases out the welfare state. Also, young people should be allowed to opt out of Social Security and Medicare in exchange for a payroll tax exemption.
A pro-liberty Speaker would only bring legislation to the floor of the House that protects liberty and is constitutional. A pro-liberty Speaker would work to protect the entire Bill of Rights. That means no more PATRIOT Acts, drug wars, civil asset forfeiture, airport harassment, or government-sponsored online censorship [AMEN!]. Instead of responding to mass shootings with thoughts, prayers, and authoritarianism, a pro-liberty Speaker would work to repeal unconstitutional gun control laws that leave innocent Americans defenseless [AMEN!].
Last, but certainly not least, a pro-liberty Speaker would seek to audit and end the Federal Reserve. He should also seek to protect the people’s right to use alternative currencies such as precious metals and cryptocurrency.
The election of a pro-liberty Speaker of the House will not happen until the liberty movement is able to gain more influence in the political climate. This is why all of us who know the truth must continue to spread the ideas of liberty.
Dr. Paul is right: Mike Johnson is not that true pro-liberty Speaker of the House. He begins his tenure as House Speaker proving that he is owned by the same Israeli lobby as the vast majority of congressmen and senators—from both the Republican and Democrat parties.
What was that Yogi Berra said? “It’s deja vu all over again.”
P.S. I encourage readers to watch the two messages I delivered pertaining to the Israeli/Palestinian war.
The first message is entitled Is The Hamas/Israeli War Fulfilling Bible Prophecy?
The second message is entitled The Wars Of The Jews.

More People Speaking Out Against The Covid Fraud; Kennedy Running As An Independent
Published: Thursday, October 5, 2023
For the past three years—especially the first eighteen months of those three years—anyone who dared to speak out against the Covid fraud was forced to endure a painful price. Physicians were threatened with the loss of licensure, dismissal from their positions, they were blackballed, subjected to media crucifixion, etc.; airline pilots were fired or forced into retirement; soldiers were threatened with dishonorable discharge, demoted in rank, repositioned away from elite units, made to live in filthy quarters, subjected to harassment, etc.; those few pastors who resisted the Covid narrative were vilified in the media, excoriated by fellow clergymen, and attacked by liberal hate groups and local medical boards, etc.
In short, anyone who dared to question or criticize the accepted Covid narrative was forced to endure severe retaliation and persecution. As I said in one of my messages on the subject, How Are Forced Covid Vaccinations Different From The Mark Of The Beast? They Aren’t!
Things are quite different today. Granted, there are still pockets of attempted Covid tyranny in operation; and you know that Gates, Schwab, Biden, Newsom, et. al would love the opportunity to roll out the Covid totalitarian system universally again, but most people—at least in the United States—are NOT going to go down that prison-yellow brick road again.
Climate change, electric cars and the “woke” agenda are the new tyrannies that Schwab and Company (this link is a hilarious video caricature of Schwab—MUST WATCH) are counting on to ride them into their dream of global authoritarianism—over which they are the masters.
I urge you to watch this brief video of what a German Member of the European Parliament said recently. Here is the Twitter post:
The so-called “pandemic” was a beta test—conducted by unelected globalists—to see how easy it would be to seize totalitarian control, under the pretext of a global “emergency”.
“The goal, ultimately, is to transform our free and democratic societies into totalitarian societies. Their goal is to strip each and every one of us of our fundamental rights, of freedom, democracy, the rule of law. They want to get rid of all of this.”
“In the entire history of mankind, there has never been a political elite concerned about the well being of regular people, and it isn’t any different now…For god’s sake stop complying. Start rebelling. They are out to get you if you do not resist.”
Watch the video of what she said here.
Again, this statement was made by a German Member of the European Parliament.
The lady was right! America and its globalist allies in the European Union are led by a bunch of psychopaths! It’s time that people came to grips with that fact.
These people are not just misguided; they are evil! Their goal is to enslave us or kill us if we do not submit. They are hard-hearted, stone-cold killers without a smidgen of conscience. And as a student of the Scriptures, I am convinced that many of them are demon-possessed.
But all most Americans seem to want to do is play games—or watch other people play games. They want to be entertained, or they want to be the entertainment. It’s all about having fun. It’s all about self-pleasure. It’s no different than the “bread and circuses” of the old Roman Empire.
The Millennials and Generation Z have a rude awakening coming when they discover that their soft, easily offended, overly sensitive, government-dependent, “woke” lifestyle was nothing but a giant trap set by a malicious, malevolent ruling class to turn them into a compliant servant class.
Gates and Fauci were able to take the Covid “beta test” further than they could have imagined. But believe me: They took notes. They learned lessons. Next time (and yes, there WILL be a next time), they will be better prepared.
But like I’ve said so often: The real solution, the real resistance must come from the Church. However, the vast majority of evangelical pastors and the sleepy sheep that follow them seem to be oblivious to what is happening around them. They are living in a fantasy world. They are so heavenly minded they are no earthly good.
Boy! Are they going to be surprised when it finally dawns on them that there is no Rapture coming to save them and all those decades of living in selfish, pleasure-obsessed denial was nothing but a precursor of their own enslavement.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is running for president as an Independent.
US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has reportedly made plans to run as a third-party candidate, potentially shaking up the 2024 race for the White House by sapping Democrat votes away from President Joe Biden and boosting the odds of a Republican victory.
Kennedy, who is currently polling as the top challenger to Biden for the Democratic Party’s nomination, plans to announce his candidacy as an independent during an October 9 campaign event in Pennsylvania, Mediaite reported on Friday. Kennedy’s campaign will run commercials attacking the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to “pave the way” for the announcement, the media outlet said.
Kennedy has railed against the DNC for refusing to give him a fair opportunity to win the party’s nomination, and has criticized Biden for declining to approve US Secret Service protection for him during the campaign, despite numerous death threats. He is the son of 1968 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy Jr., both of whom were assassinated.
This is more bad news for Joe Biden. His is already the most unpopular White House in U.S. history; the man is suffering from burgeoning dementia; his vice president is a moron that no one—not even Democrats—can stand; and now Biden’s strongest Democrat opponent will run as an Independent.
Well, at least they booted Kevin McCarthy from his House Speaker chair (the first time this has happened in our country’s history). He’s another faux-conservative globalist appeaser. But will the man who replaces him be any better?
Washington is rotten from top to bottom!
But at least more people are finally speaking out against the Covid fraud. What took them so long?
If only our pastors would speak out!

CANCEL CULTURE: GOVERNOR USING STEALTH TO TRY TO PUT THROUGH RED FLAG GUN CONFISCATION
My dear friend, Lucinda Sheth, who is politically active, but not a radical in any sense, has addressed the recent Tennessee issue of a “Special Session to push for an Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO)”, better known as Red Flag Law. 1, 2 This session was called by Governor Lee because his ERPO was shot down during the normal Legislature session. This is another sneaky way our governments (local, state, and federal) are making laws without going through the proper channels. Ms. Sheth is right on for calling him out.
If you don’t realize this is a set-up, “Tennessee’s Democrat elected officials will embark upon a statewide bus tour to discuss gun violence, which will end at the state capitol on the first day of the August special session on gun control.” 3
As Karen Bracken, a great Tennessee patriot, put it, they are “… Using the excuse that children being killed by guns in TN is a crisis. Which if you look at the DATA is a complete lie. Perhaps they should look at the cities in which there is strict gun control like Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore. Gun violence is a crisis in these cities because only the law-abiding citizens obey the law. Criminals do not and when they know people are defenseless, they get emboldened.”
Sheth’s letter on behalf of the Roane County Republican Women:
“August 11, 2023
Dear Governor Lee:
You took a solemn oath to uphold our Tennessee State Constitution and our US Constitution. The oath you took means that your Special Session to push for ERPO (Extreme Risk Protection Order) legislation will be an Unconstitutional exercise.
State Legislatures have no constitutional authority to enact into Law whatever a loud, boisterous, organized lobby may happen to believe is a good idea. State Legislatures are created and exist BY the State Constitution – and THAT Document, together with various provisions of the US Constitution have only LIMITED CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY to make laws restricting arms.
When a person makes a threat about killing people, the ONLY constitutionally acceptable course of action is to treat THAT PARTICULAR PERSON in accordance with the existing criminal laws of the State. Mental Health Systems already have a 72-hour hold process to deal with people who are a danger to themselves and/or others.
There have already been several documented abuses of ERPOs in Florida, Colorado, Virginia, and among several VA Systems. Your ERPO has the potential for mass deprivation of GOD-GIVEN unalienable rights and civil liberties, and that simply cannot be understated in America’s woke psychosis. Those who stray from the politically correct position on masks, vaccines, ”transgender” rights, Drag Queens in libraries and schools, election fraud, inappropriate pornographic LGBT books in schools, BLM, Antifa, or abortion are already placed on the list of domestic extremists/ terrorists at the DHS website. There is the “E” in your ERPO.
It seems that the inmates are running the asylum – and some “conservative” Republicans are willing to hand over the keys to the doors. Do not sacrifice individual liberty for a supposed collective good which is a characteristic of a Soviet-style system.
Call off this Special Session and revisit the solemn oath of office you took. Your ERPO will violate that oath.”
Feeling that she had more to say to the governor, she wrote another letter that adds a few more both pertinent, and elucidating points:
August 10, 2023
Dear Governor Lee:
The loud, hysterical cries that are demanding that the Tennessee government “do something” about “gun violence” are ramping up in the progressive realms of Tennessee, especially Nashville. You, Governor Lee, have heeded their call and have called for a Special Session to implement your ERPO (Extreme Risk Protection Order)…ahem, don’t call it a Red-Flag law even though the end product is identical.
You must understand that there are dangers in “doing something” when rushing to implement major infringements of our 2nd amendment GOD-GIVEN rights. Your ERPO infringement could NOT get passed when the Legislature was IN session, so you have called a special session to get it done. Your ERPO will also have the effect of negating the following GOD-GIVEN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS (of those accused under Red Flag charges) :
The right to face your accuser. The right to due process.
The right of protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.
The right to be secure in your person, papers, and things.Remember when the government was tasked to “do something” after the surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor? The government “did something” by rounding up Americans of Japanese descent, confiscating all their possessions and putting them in camps! That, too, was a rush to “do something” which is parallel to what you want to do about “gun violence”. Pretty shameful isn’t it!
Your ERPO allows judges to issue an order of confiscation “ex parte” (without you being present) and because it is a civil process you will find yourself without a public defender or any opportunity to defend yourself. Pretty shameful isn’t it!
All of these measures in your ERPO fly in the face of our Federal Constitution that you SOLEMNLY swore an oath to uphold, with your right hand raised and your left hand on the Word of our Holy God. Your ERPO also gravely violates our Tennessee State Constitution that you SOLEMNLY swore to uphold via the same manner! Pretty shameful isn’t it!
The core problem is SIN, which is a moral problem. People who have murder in their hearts and want to kill will use any tool to do it. Laws against murder already exist, but murder still happens…because of SIN, a moral problem.
We implore you to call off the Special Session and stop listening to the siren song of tyranny.
Yes, ERPOs have been enacted in other states, but it should be stopped now. ERPOs are just another way the Cancel Culture crew of communist Marxist, one-world order global elite are taking away our property and rights.
Without the right to property, we are slaves. But that is the point of ERPOs, Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), Public/Private Partnerships (PPP), and a slew of rules, law, and executive orders levied on an unsuspecting populace.
Let’s stop this one now. Let the lion roar.

Who Is Vivek Ramaswamy?
Published: Thursday, August 24, 2023
Before this guy entered the Republican presidential contest, I had never heard of him. So, I had some quick catching up to do.
My research uncovered one element of his candidacy that is incredibly spectacular—almost unheard of—for any presidential contender, regardless of political party. I’ll explain as I go along.
Vivek Ramaswamy is a 38-year-old descendent of immigrant Hindu Indian parents and—unlike Donald Trump—is a true self-made billionaire. A graduate of Harvard and Yale and a biologist, Ramaswamy made his fortune as a biotech investor and head of a drug-development company.
From his website and under the title Truth, he lists:
- God is real.
- There are two genders.
- Human flourishing requires fossil fuels.
- Reverse racism is racism.
- An open border is no border.
- Parents determine the education of their children.
- The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind.
- Capitalism lifts people up from poverty.
- There are three branches of the U.S. government, not four.
- The U.S. constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history.
There are seven essential categories from which I judge any political candidate:
- The life issue (abortion)
- The Second Amendment (gun control)
- Vaccine mandates
- The Warfare State: the war in Ukraine in particular
- The “Woke” agenda
- Energy: the “green” and “global warming” agendas in particular
- Israel: support for Zionist wars, ethnic cleansing, etc.
The Life Issue
“I think abortion is murder,” he said. “Murder is regulated at the state level. I think we’ve got to keep it there.”
Ramaswamy describes himself as a strict constitutionalist and, therefore, believes that abortion is not a federal issue but a State issue, because, as he said, abortion is murder, and murder is a State issue. He also said he agreed with the overturn of Roe v Wade by the Supreme Court.
He said he supports a State’s six-week abortion ban, but said he also supports exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. This statement puts him at odds with himself. If abortion is murder, then abortion is still murder regardless of how insemination occurred. And the life of the mother argument has long been shown to be nothing but a red herring.
But he’s the only presidential contender that you’ll hear say, “Abortion is murder.” That’s a major positive. But the rest of his stance on abortion is not very different from most Republicans—albeit Ramaswamy does seem to have a better grasp of the Constitution than any I’ve heard since Ron Paul, who is in a league of his own as a congressman known nationwide as a constitutional scholar.
The Second Amendment
Ramaswamy calls for the abolishment of the ATF.
“The ATF is an agency beyond repair. I have already pledged to shut down the FBI and to rebuild a new federal law enforcement apparatus from scratch. This new apparatus can perform the function of background checks without creating a gun registry or shadow database – and I will shut down the ATF whose culture has become so toxic that it cannot merely be ‘reformed,'” Ramaswamy will say, according to a preview of the speech obtained by Fox News Digital.
Ramaswamy will also call for expanded Second Amendment rights for Americans, including making constitutional carry the “law of the land.”
“I will support a national constitutional carry law that allows Americans to carry their firearms on their person, no matter what state you live in,” he will tell the crowd.
“In America, the armed citizenry balances out the government and its military: it’s the last bastion that deters the government from unconstitutional overreach.” (Source)
“I’m an unapologetic supporter of the Second Amendment and an unapologetic supporter of the Constitution. The First Amendment is the most important. But the Second Amendment was second for another reason; it was the second most important. Because if you go to any other country in the world, from China to Iran, they promise you all the same rights, or many of the same rights that the US does, but you don’t get them. You want to know why? The thing they’re missing is the Second Amendment. Our Founding Fathers and our Founders understood that deeply.” (Source)
Every Republican claims to be pro-Second Amendment, even if they are not—like Donald Trump. On this issue, Ramaswamy’s position sounds very similar to that of Ron DeSantis. These two gentlemen are doubtless the strongest advocates of the Second Amendment in the entire GOP presidential field—albeit, since becoming governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis has done NOTHING to overturn his State’s Red Flag gun confiscation law.
Vaccine Mandates
The corrupt FDA says you don’t have the right to even *try* medicines that haven’t been through 10+ years of testing, yet the government *mandated* Covid vaccines that sailed through FDA approval in less than 1 year. You can’t believe both things at once. Countless FDA regulations and actions are hypocritical, harmful & unconstitutional. I [Ramaswamy] will rescind them accordingly, using the Supreme Court’s holding in West Virginia vs. EPA as my legal basis for doing so. For years I was coached by industry veterans not to speak out against FDA. It’s well known that if you anger FDA, they will punish you by blackballing review of your drug review applications. “FDA never forgets” is a quietly-whispered, well-known pharma industry adage. Well, they could only shut me up for so long. Now I speak freely as a citizen. (Source)
I was dead set against the Covid vaccine mandates. I still am. (Source)
Due to the stand that Democrat Robert Kennedy, Jr. takes against mandated vaccinations, Ramaswamy said he will choose Mr. Kennedy as his running mate if he is nominated. (I believe that would be a big mistake.)
Again, only Ron DeSantis is as strongly anti-vaccine mandates as Ramaswamy. And both of these gentlemen are head and shoulders above Donald Trump, who is solely responsible for the Covid vaccine mandates that plagued the world and killed millions of people during the past three years.
The Ukraine War
According to the New York Times:
He [Ramaswamy] would not spend another dollar on aid to Ukraine but would use military force to “annihilate” Mexican drug cartels.
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy slammed Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Saturday for pushing for Ukraine’s admission into NATO, accusing the Republican lawmaker of “marching us to the brink of nuclear war.”
“@JoeBiden needs to man up to his bully-friend Zelensky & clearly state that we are dead-set opposed to Ukrainian admission to NATO,” Ramaswamy tweeted, ahead of next week’s NATO summit in Lithuania. “This should be a hard red line.”
“It’s shameful that even Republicans like @LindseyGrahamSC are now pushing for it,” he added. “Stop marching us to the brink of nuclear war.”
Ramaswamy called NATO’s further expansion “sheer lunacy” and vowed not to be “bullied” by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky if elected.
“As President I’ll refuse to be bullied by an anti-democratic comedian-turned-leader & it’s truly mystifying to me that the rest of the West is eating out of this Pied Piper’s hand every day,” he added.
Ramaswamy is doubtless at the top of the ladder in his convictions to free America from its stupid proxy war in Ukraine. Trump and DeSantis are fighting for second. Everyone else in the field is as bloodthirsty for war as Joe Biden.
The “Woke” Agenda
“Woke Inc.” was Ramaswamy’s 2021 breakout moment, filled with pithy lines about wokeness, which the entrepreneur said “means obsessing about race, gender, and sexual orientation. Maybe climate change too.”
Fast Company magazine said the book offered an insider’s perspective in explaining “why corporations that pick up social justice causes like TikTok dances are not merely tacky, but actively harmful for society.” (Source)
For Ramaswamy, being “anti-woke” is central to his political brand. Leaving his biotech company following pressures for him to “make a statement in favor of the Black Lives Matter movement,” Ramaswamy called at CPAC for “an opportunity for the conservative movement to rise to the occasion and fill that void with a vision of American national identity that runs so deep that it dilutes this woke poison to irrelevance.” He later launched his own firm intended to pressure companies to quit ESG initiatives.
On Saturday, Ramaswamy called “woke” a “cultural cancer” in America, saying that, as president, he would advocate for starting over with agencies that “have become a cancerous rot.” (Source)
Again, it is Ramaswamy and DeSantis at the head of the pack on this issue. All of the others are non-existent on the subject.
Energy
Mr. Ramaswamy accepts the established science that the burning of fossil fuels is warming the planet, but his answer is to “drill, frack, burn coal” and use more fossil fuels. That will supposedly unleash economic growth that will pay for mitigation efforts to shield everyone from climate change. (Source)
In interviews and on the stump, he’s said he would end affirmative action, which he calls a “cancer” on American life. He would close down the Education Department, limit the power of the Federal Reserve, send U.S. armed forces to the Mexican border and stop big “woke” corporations from using environmental, social and governance, or ESG considerations to measure their performance.
In an interview, Ramaswamy said he’s “not a climate denier,” but sees the world’s warming as “not entirely bad.” He says the goal of limiting carbon emissions is “flawed” and that “people should be proud to live a high-carbon lifestyle.” He said “we have a far better chance” of growing out of the problem “than trying to engineer the climate itself.”
He also sees climate activism as one of three “secular religions” that “has America in a chokehold.” He said “the climate religion has about as much to do with the climate as the Spanish Inquisition had to do with Christ, which is to say nothing at all. It is about power, dominion, control, punishment.”
More than other GOP presidential contenders, Ramaswamy targets his criticism on Wall Street sustainability policies. He’s written letters to corporations such as Chevron, criticizing the company’s support for a carbon tax and its calculation of “Scope 3” emissions — those generated when consumers use a product, such as buying gasoline to drive a car.

Again, it’s Ramaswamy and DeSantis at the head of the pack.
Israel
Everything was rolling along according to accepted GOP parameters, with Ramaswamy either tied with DeSantis or in some cases out front of DeSantis for the honor of carrying the conservative torch into the nomination race—until this issue!
Everyone who faithfully reads this column knows that when it comes to Israel, EVERY national politician (with very few exceptions), especially EVERY presidential contender, must bow the knee to Tel Aviv. Republican or Democrat, it doesn’t matter: They are all toadies for Zionist Israel, including DeSantis, Trump, Haley, Pence, Christie, et al.
In my lifetime, the only major party presidential candidate that wasn’t owned by Israel was Dr. Ron Paul. From Jimmy Carter to Ronald Reagan, from George H.W. Bush to Bill Clinton, from G.W. Bush to Barack Obama, from Donald Trump to Joe Biden: All of them are bought and paid for by Israel.
And EVERY presidential contender—Democrat or Republican—in the 2024 election race is bought and paid for by Israel. That is, EVERY presidential contender except Vivek Ramaswamy, it appears.
Ramaswamy said in an interview with British actor and activist Russell Brand this month that his commitment would be to US interests only.
“There’s no North Star commitment to any one country other than the United States of America,” he said when asked about aid to Israel.
Ramaswamy’s proposal to scale back aid for Israel comes as the candidate rises in the polls, making him a greater target for his Republican rivals. (Source)
Rising GOP Presidential Candidate Calls to End U.S. Military Aid to Israel as Part of Mideast Normalization
Vivek Ramaswamy says that an Abraham Accords 2.0 with the likes of Saudi Arabia, Oman and Qatar could help wean Israel off U.S. military aid by 2028, and ‘get it on its own two feet.’ (Source)
Whoa! Vivek Ramaswamy is actually saying he will end foreign aid to Israel? Yes, he apparently is.
Ramaswamy’s constitutional position on ending foreign aid to Israel puts him in rarified air. It also makes him the biggest target on planet earth, especially if he starts pulling away from the GOP pack and begins overtaking Trump as the Republican front-runner.
The Western Deep State is run by Zionists from top to bottom. I hope Vivek truly understands the danger he is in by daring to touch politics’ “third rail.”
Obviously, it is still very early, and we have much yet to learn. But at this juncture, and by my seven measuring sticks, Ramaswamy scores pretty high. Vivek’s position against sending aid to Zionist Israel is one of the most encouraging things I’ve seen in a national politician since Ron Paul sat in Congress—and it sets him apart from, well, everybody.
I sure miss Dr. Paul. Happy 88th Birthday, Ron!

Trump’s Indictments: A Bunch of Ham Sandwiches!
The joke has become a sad cliche in the USA “justice” system. We are not even sure where it originated.
Some say it was from a New York judge, Sol Wachtler, who was appalled at the grand jury process being
so one-sided and unfair. Wachtler was the Chief Judge of the New York Court of Appeals 1985 – 1992. He was
absolutely correct then and it is truer today. Grand juries are a joke, they are “ham sandwiches” and this
is due to the unfair and one-sided domination by District Attorneys, County Attorneys, and any other
prosecutor nationwide.
The entire world has just witnessed a huge example of this “legal” joke with former President Donald
Trump’s more than 100 indictments from grand juries in four different jurisdictions demonstrates, that were obtained
from grand juries consisting of citizens looking at “all” the evidence to determine if enough evidence
existed to have the former president arrested. Except there is one gargantuan problem here; these grand
juries were NOT allowed to see ANY evidence from the accused. And this is not unique to President Trump.
It happens to all Americans throughout nation! Prosecutors do not allow grand juries anywhere to see
or hear anything from the accused. Grand juries are supposed to be independent, examining accusations
made against people to see if they should stand trial. Who would not be indicted if one’s enemies were
the only citizens to serve on the grand jury? That also happened to Trump during the January 6th hearings.
Only Trump enemies were allowed to run the hearing. And today, every accused American whose case
goes before a grand jury, gets the same thing, a “ham sandwich” joke that is devoid of any due process or
fairness.
So, what do we do? Well, this gives Donald Trump and his team a chance to save us all from this abuse and
corruption. President Trump should challenge the findings of each grand jury on a solid constitutional basis.
He and thousands just like him, have been railroaded through by prosecutors who are 99% assured of an
indictment. It’s a done deal before the first juror is even chosen. The juries hear nothing from the accused. Is this
the American way? Is it in accordance with the assumption of innocence that the accused is guaranteed
in our system of justice?
The Fifth and Sixth Amendments to our United States Constitution guarantee our rights to due process. There
is no exception for prosecutors or grand juries. President Trump, please challenge the “ham sandwich” indictments
you received, if not for you, then for the thousands of Americans who this happens to every year.

Weaponization of Politics, an American Tradition
From The Desk of Ron Paul
In these difficult times, when serious people look with shock and awe at what today’s government is capable of getting away with – from unconstitutional mass surveillance of American citizens to downright Deep State meddling in national political affairs – it’s easy to think we’ve turned some new, dark corner in our national history.
But as I explain in my latest column, which you can read below, what we’re witnessing isn’t actually new at all.
The weaponization of politics is an American tradition.
That might seem demoralizing, but in truth, the fact our country has endured the episodes I describe in my column proves the strength of our constitutional system.
In times like these, we should not despair, but remember that those who came before us faced even greater challenges.
We must stand strong, regardless of political affiliation, and even in the face of intimidation, in support of impartial administration of justice.
Read my column below, and if you agree, please support Campaign for Liberty’s efforts to restore the Rule of Law in America.
For Liberty,
Ron Paul
Chairman, Campaign for Liberty
Weaponization of Politics, an American Tradition
President Donald Trump is hardly the first political figure who has had the legal and policy processes weaponized against him. In fact, there is a long and shameful history of U.S. politicians and bureaucrats weaponizing governmental powers against their political opponents.
The First Amendment was not even a decade old when fear of influence on America by French agents was used to support the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts. This outlawed “false, scandalous, and malicious writing” against the U.S. government, Congress, or the president and made it illegal to conspire “to oppose any measure or measures of the government of the United States.”
The weaponization of politics is another example of how hysteria over alleged foreign threats leads to less liberty. The claim that opponents of U.S. government policy were serving interests of France is an early example. Sadly, critics of U.S. government policy have been smeared for spreading disinformation to benefit hostile foreign powers many times since.
During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln oversaw the shutting down of newspapers and even the arresting of state legislators. After the U.S. became involved in World War I, Congress passed a new Sedition Act banning “disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language” toward the military or U.S. government. This act was used to imprison Eugene Debs, who then ran for president as the Socialist Party nominee while in prison.
Opponents of U.S. involvement in World War II were accused by supporters of U.S. military intervention of being a “fifth column” for Germany’s government. Later, opponents of wars in Vietnam, Iraq, and other countries where the U.S. intervened were subjected to government surveillance and harassment.
Critics of U.S. foreign policy may be the first critics of the U.S. government targeted for opposing government policies, but they are not the last. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover targeted the civil rights movement and wiretapped and harassed Martin Luther King Jr. Hoover also kept files on those he deemed subversives, including even the pop music group The Monkees.
Presidents of both parties have used the IRS against their political enemies. As an IRS agent told the head of a conservative organization who was being audited after calling for the impeachment of then-President Clinton, “What do you expect when you target the president?”
The drafters of the Constitution knew those with power would always be tempted to use the power against their opponents. Hence, they created a limited government where power was diffused and checked. Unfortunately, American politicians gave in to the temptation to weaponize the law against their opponents in the early days of the Republic.
Since then, the growth of government has led to the growth of an unelected and unaccountable bureaucracy that plays an important role for the deep state. The deep state pursues its own agenda regardless of the wishes of the people. The deep state works to subvert those who oppose its agenda, using tactics up to and including assassination in the case of President Kennedy.
A lesson of this history is that people who desire liberty should not trust the U.S. government to advance liberty. Instead, they need to be vigilant in ensuring the government acts within the limits stated in the Constitution. Making sure the government is pursuing a policy of peace and free trade abroad is also essential to promoting liberty at home.
Joe Biden Must Hate Blacks | Chuck Baldwin
| Published: Thursday, May 18, 2023 |
Joe Biden let the cat out of the bag: He must have a latent hatred for the black race. His own speech betrays his evil soul. As Jesus said, “For of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.” (Luke 6:45)
In a speech to black college graduates on Saturday, US President Joe Biden labeled ‘white supremacy’ the most dangerous terrorist threat to the US. The statement – which is contradicted by crime statistics – was condemned by conservative pundits.
“White supremacy… is the single most dangerous terrorist threat in our homeland,” Biden told graduates from Howard University, a historically black university (HBCU) in Washington DC.
“I’m not just saying this because I’m at a black HBCU. I say this wherever I go,” Biden continued. “Fearless progress toward justice often means ferocious pushback from the oldest and most sinister of forces. That’s because hate never goes away… it only hides under the rocks.”
So, according to Biden, not China, not Russia, not North Korea, not Iran, not millions of invading illegal aliens (many of whom are hardened criminals) that are pouring across our southern border, but “white supremacy” within America is “the single most dangerous terrorist threat in our homeland.”
During that same speech at Howard University, Biden went on to again demand that all semi-automatic rifles (he calls them “assault weapons,” which they aren’t) need to be banned immediately.
As I said, Joe Biden must hate blacks.
Think about it: Biden is telling a college graduating class (the vast majority of whom are black) that the biggest terror threat to their lives is white supremacists. In essence, Biden is telling those college graduates that their white neighbors, white co-workers, white church attenders, white teammates and white friends are potentially the greatest terror threat that those young black people will face. After all, how do they know which of their white friends and associates might be white “supremacists”? As Biden said, they “[hide] under the rocks.”
Then, almost in the same breath, Biden tells these young black college graduates that he wants to strip them of their right to defend themselves by banning the most effective means of self-defense available to the American citizenry—including the black American citizenry—the semi-automatic rifle.
Think this through: Biden tells those young people how much danger the white man poses to the black man and then tells the black man that he’s just going to have to take his chances, because Biden is going to strip the black man of his ability to defend himself against the evil white man.
As I said, Biden must really hate the black race.
If Biden truly believed his inane rambling that American “white supremacy” is the black man’s greatest threat, he would be doing everything he could as president to make it as easy as possible for the black man to be able to legally defend himself.
But, no! He tells the young black graduates (paraphrased): “The white man is the biggest threat to your life, but as your president, I’m going to make it as hard as I can for you to be able to defend yourself against this imminent white threat.”
Journalist Julie Kelly called Biden a “pathological liar,” and indeed he is, because:
According to FBI crime statistics, the average Howard University graduate is 11 times more likely to be murdered by a member of their own race than a white perpetrator. While African-Americans commit the majority of all violent crime in the US, most crime – whether committed by white or black Americans – is intraracial.
Since those black Howard University graduates are 11 times more likely to be murdered by a fellow black man, any weapons ban would only serve to further endanger black people disproportionately compared to other races.
Again, Joe Biden must really hate black folks.
And Biden must also hate people from races all over the world.
The administration of US President Joe Biden sold weapons to at least 57% of the world’s authoritarian regimes in 2022, according to analysis published on Thursday by The Intercept.
In a lengthy review of US arms-dealing practices and recently released government data, the American publication noted that Washington has accounted for around 40% of global arms sales each year since the end of the Cold War.
It added that, according to a classification system devised at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, the United States distributed weapons in 2022 to at least 48 of 84 (57%) countries described by the ‘Varieties of Democracy’ project as being under autocratic or authoritarian rule.
The findings of the analysis stand in contrast to Biden’s often-repeated stance of opposition to authoritarian governments. In a speech in Warsaw last year, the US president described conflict between democracy and autocracy as a battle “between liberty and repression” and “between a rules-based international order and one governed by brute force.”
Joe Biden must be possessed with the spirit of murder and death. Not only is he one of the world’s foremost promoters of the killing of unborn babies, he has used the office of President of the United States to sell Weapons of Mass Destruction to at least 57% of the world’s dictatorships.
As Biden himself said, totalitarian governments only know one way to rule: by “brute force.” Tyrannical governments obtain power by brute force and maintain power by brute force.
First, they strip their citizens of their access to firearms (as Biden is attempting to do to the American people right now), and then totalitarians use the most powerful weapons in the world to slaughter the disarmed citizens who do not enthusiastically comply with the tyrant’s demands.
And many of those Weapons of Mass destruction being used by totalitarian regimes all over the world are supplied by Joe Biden and the U.S. government.
Again, think it through: Joe Biden is fanatical in his ambitions to strip the American people of their right to keep and bear arms while at the same time providing the most powerful weapons known to man to authoritarian mass murderers all over the planet.
Joe Biden must hate innocent people of all races—whether they are innocent unborn babies, innocent law-abiding American citizens or innocent disarmed people suffering under the iron fist of tyranny anywhere in the world.
And he must love tyrants, dictators and government thugs to be providing them with so much armament. Of course, the reason he loves government thugs is because Joe Biden himself is a government thug—which explains his love for the Ukrainian thug Volodymyr Zelensky.
Surely, many of the graduates at Howard University were able to see through Joe Biden’s phony pandering façade and see the evil soul of this man—a soul that is filled with hate for people of all races that refuse to live under the would-be yoke of Biden’s tyrannical heart.

Why Seek Ye The Living Among The Dead?
| Published: Thursday, April 6, 2023 |
The title of this column is an excerpt from Luke’s Gospel, chapter 24, verses 1 – 6:
Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen. (KJV)
The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is not only the cornerstone of Christianity; it is the cornerstone of Western Civilization—and the United States in particular. There is absolutely no denying that the people who initially brought Western Civilization to the North American continent were almost exclusively strong adherents of Christian societies who were motivated by the love of God and the desire for religious liberty.
Thankfully, none of the Pilgrims, Puritans and Patriots of early America had ever heard of C. I. Scofield and his “Christian Zionism” heresy. If early Americans had been brainwashed by Scofield, as 80% of evangelical Christians are today, the United States would have never come into existence.
America’s Christian founders such as Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, James Madison, Benjamin Rush, Daniel Webster, Noah Webster, et al. had not been duped by Israel-based, Old Covenant-based, death-based Dispensational Futurism. They didn’t come to this new land seeking to find “the living among the dead.”
After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Samuel Adams declared:
We have this day restored the Sovereign to Whom all men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let His kingdom come.
That is not a political statement; that is a New Covenant theological statement.
In his will, Adams wrote:
Principally, and first of all, I resign my soul to the Almighty Being who gave it, and my body I commit to the dust, relying on the merits of Jesus Christ for the pardon of my sins.
Patrick Henry proclaimed:
It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.
James Madison, America’s 4th president and the architect of our U.S. Constitution, said:
Cursed be all that learning that is contrary to the cross of Christ.
Benjamin Rush (signer of the Declaration of Independence and Surgeon General of the Continental Army) said:
I have alternately been called an Aristocrat and a Democrat. I am neither. I am a Christocrat.
Daniel Webster said:
If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instruction and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.
Noah Webster, the father of American education, said:
Education is useless without the Bible.
The Bible was America’s basic text book in all fields.
God’s Word, contained in the Bible, has furnished all necessary rules to direct our conduct.
In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed….No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people.
The religion which has introduced civil liberty is the religion of Christ and His apostles, which enjoins humility, piety, and benevolence; which acknowledges in every person a brother, or a sister, and a citizen with equal rights. This is genuine Christianity, and to this we owe our free Constitutions of Government.
I could go on and on.
The men and women of America’s founding generations built a new country on Christ’s New Covenant.
Tragically, the unadulterated New Covenant Gospel has not been popularly taught in the United States since before the early twentieth century when Scofield’s Reference Bible immersed America’s churches and Christian schools in atheistic, occultish Zionism. For over 100 years, evangelicals have been taught a convoluted mixture of Old Covenant legalism, Israel-based futurism and works-based salvation to the point that the vast majority of today’s churches do not even resemble—either in faith or practice—historic Christianity.
The faith of most churches more resembles mysticism—and pastors more resemble mystics.
Hear Noah Webster again:
No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people.
The true Christian faith is centered in Christ’s New Covenant. It was the preaching and teaching of the New Covenant that spawned the greatest political experiment in government-protected Liberty ever attempted on earth. And the basic reason that the government no longer sees itself as the guardian of Liberty is due to the fact that America’s pulpits no longer see themselves as guardians of the New Covenant. The further the pulpit removes from preaching the New Covenant, the further the government removes from protecting Liberty.
Listen to the Apostle Paul:
Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament [covenant]; not of the letter [old covenant], but of the spirit [new covenant]: for the letter [old covenant] killeth, but the spirit [new covenant] giveth life. But if the ministration of death [emphasis added], written and engraven in stones [old covenant], was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away [old covenant—emphasis added]: How shall not the ministration of the spirit [new covenant] be rather glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation [old covenant—emphasis added] be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness [new covenant] exceed in glory. (II Corinthians 3:6 – 9 KJV)
The rejection of liberty-giving, life-giving New Covenant teaching and the acceptance of the ministration of death and condemnation of Old Covenant teaching (popularized by C. I. Scofield) by America’s pastors and churches has shackled and enslaved the governing institutions of our country and, hence, the public lives of our people.
Accordingly, THIS SUNDAY, April 9, on Resurrection Sunday, I will deliver Prophecy Message Number 15 entitled The Seventh Trumpet: The Fall Of Jerusalem And Rise Of The New Covenant Kingdom.
This message is taken from Revelation Chapter 11, which is the most important chapter in the entire Book of Revelation.
As I have said before, the Book of Revelation is not as much a book about prophecy as it is a final exclamation point to the majesty and glory of the New Covenant contrasted with the death and destruction of the Old Covenant.
I invite readers to tune in this Sunday, April 9, at approximately 2:30pm Mountain Time to watch this message: The Seventh Trumpet: The Fall Of Jerusalem And Rise Of The New Covenant Kingdom.
Last Sunday, I told the true story of how a satanic attack took me to within minutes of death. The message title is Satan’s Attack Against These New Covenant Prophecy Messages.
I urge readers to watch this message before watching the message this Sunday.
The forces of evil hate the New Covenant Gospel message more than anything in this world, and they will stop at nothing to try and stamp it out. And, sadly, they have largely succeeded in removing true New Covenant teaching from a majority of today’s evangelical churches.
People who are going to these Old Covenant “churches” are like the disciples who were looking for Jesus in a graveyard: They are seeking life among the dead.

America, Arm Your Schools NOW!
Published: Thursday, March 30, 2023
Tragically, it has happened again. A mentally deranged woman (who called herself a man) walked into a private Christian church-school and killed three nine-year-old children (one of whom was the church pastor’s daughter) and three adult school employees. And once again, the shootings took place in a gun-free zone.
The attack ended when two police officers arrived and immediately rushed to the sound of the gunfire and killed the murderer. (I wonder if the police department in Uvalde, Texas, was taking notes.)
The authorities in Nashville, Tennessee have identified the person who killed three students and three teachers at the Covenant School on Monday morning as Audrey Hale. The 28-year-old was said to have been a former student at the Christian elementary school, and identified as a transgender man.
Initial reports spoke of a “teenage woman” as the attacker, who was fatally shot by the responding officers. Police Chief John Drake told reporters that Hale was armed with two rifles and a handgun, and opened fire after using a side entrance.
During a search of Hale’s home, police discovered a plan of attack on the school. Another location, which police did not identify, was also considered as a potential target, until Hale decided the security presence was too strong.
The school is run by the Covenant Presbyterian Church, and serves children ages 6-12. It has more than 200 students and 40 staff.
The report above from an overseas media outlet is one of the only early reports on the shooting that accurately identified the shooter as a “transgender man.” Every early U.S. news report that I read about the tragedy conveniently left out the fact that the shooter was a transgender.
The audacious deception and blatant left-wing bias of the U.S. news media is so ubiquitous that any rational, sane person can see that the media is nothing more than a ministry of propaganda for all things “woke” and Big Government.
When are State lawmakers around the country going to end their complicity with school violence and remove State laws that prohibit school personnel from being armed?
Did you notice this section of the news report above:
Another location, which police did not identify, was also considered as a potential target, until Hale decided the security presence was too strong. [Emphasis added]
So, the people in the other location were spared, because it contained a strong “security presence,” which no doubt included armed personnel.
This is not difficult.
Each of these mass shooters chooses the location of their murderous mischief in a deliberate, calculating manner, making sure that the targeted venue is gun-free. Duh!
Interestingly enough, I discussed this very subject in my column last week. In that column, I quoted Thomas Jefferson, which, with the tragic event in Nashville this week, is fitting that I quote him again:
The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes…. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.
There is another glaring element to the Nashville shooting: Why is no one calling this a “hate” crime?
Turn the event around. Imagine the shooter was a member of a Protestant Christian church or school and the victims were all transgender. Every media outlet in the country would be calling the shooting a “hate” crime. You and I both know it!
But since the murderer was a transgender man and the victims were all part of a Protestant Christian church-school, there is not a peep—not a peep from anyone—about this being a “hate” crime.
Once again, the hypocrisy, duplicity and bias of the mainstream media are on full display for all to see.
It is time for the American people to demand that their State lawmakers remove the prohibitions against school personnel being armed. Gun-free zones—especially schools—are killing fields for any crazy criminal with a gun—and criminals will always be armed. Criminals don’t care about laws and don’t obey laws. Duh!
As Jefferson said, “The laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.”
Parents of school children—no matter what kind of school it is—need to demand en masse that the school have armed personnel in every classroom or remove their children from the school.
And I mean post-haste!
How can parents continue to casually send their precious little children to these defenseless killing fields called schools?
America, arm your schools NOW!
P.S. I want to take the liberty of urging my readers to watch my message this Sunday at Liberty Fellowship. The message is entitled Satan’s Attack Against These New Covenant Prophecy Messages.
Satan and his minions hate Christ’s New Covenant, and I am a personal witness to this fact. The message this Sunday is my personal story. In fact, it is only by God’s hand of protection upon my life that I am even here to tell the story.
The livestream will begin at approximately 2:30pm THIS SUNDAY, April 2.
Again, the title of the message is Satan’s Attack Against These New Covenant Messages.
The title of this message, coupled with the name of the church-school attacked in Nashville this week, Covenant Presbyterian Church, sends chills up my spine.

The U.S. Congress Gave Standing Ovations To A Nazi Thug | Chuck Baldwin
| Published: Thursday, December 29, 2022 |
The corrupt, genocidal Nazi leader of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, was recently given several standing ovations by members of Congress at the U.S. Capitol. House leaders even set aside the rules requiring appropriate attire for admittance to “The People’s House” and let the little tyrant wear his Naziesque combat fatigues when addressing our representatives.
Of course, Zelensky was in town demanding that the U.S. provide billions more dollars for his stupid—and hopeless—war with Russia. This was a war that Zelensky could have easily avoided but instead deliberately chose to incite.
A few days after his embarrassing visit to the U.S. House of Representatives, Congress obliged the little dictator with 45 billion additional taxpayer dollars for Ukraine, which brings the ongoing total to $100 billion that U.S. taxpayers have donated to the world’s most corrupt government.
Jacob Hornberger has a terrific analysis of Zelensky’s appearance before Congress:
Yesterday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appeared before a joint session of Congress to plead for more billions of dollars of U.S. taxpayer money to help Ukraine in its war with Russia.
One particular sentence in Zelensky’s address caught my attention: “We Ukrainians will also go through our war of independence and freedom with dignity and success.” The sentence prompted an enormous applause from the members of Congress.
There is one big problem with Zelensky’s statement, however. The war between Ukraine and Russia has nothing to do with freedom. Instead, it has everything to do with NATO, the old Cold War dinosaur that ginned up the crisis that led to this highly deadly and destructive war.
Operating through NATO, the Pentagon was insistent on incorporating Ukraine into NATO. Zelensky too wanted Ukraine to join NATO. For at least the last 25 years, Russia has made it clear that Ukraine’s joining NATO was a “red line” for Russia. The last thing Russia wanted was Pentagon bases and nuclear missiles installed on Russia’s border, just as the last thing that the Pentagon would want is Russian bases and nuclear missiles stationed in Cuba. Russia consistently made it clear that if Ukraine crossed that “red line,” Russia would invade Ukraine to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO.
Thus, everyone knew what the stakes were if the Pentagon, NATO, and Ukraine persisted in making Ukraine a member of NATO. They knew that if they persisted, Russia would end up invading Ukraine.
Knowingly, deliberately, and intentionally ignoring and disregarding Russia’s “red line,” the Pentagon, NATO, and Ukraine continued down the road toward making Ukraine a member of NATO, knowing full-well that that would result in a Russian invasion of Ukraine to prevent that from happening.
Thus, prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Zelensky was faced with a fateful choice. If he decided that Ukraine would not join NATO, there would be no Russian invasion of Ukraine. If he decided that Ukraine would join NATO, there would be a Russian invasion of Ukraine, one that was certain to result in massive death and destruction on both sides.
Zelensky chose the second option. In making that choice, he was saying that the deaths and suffering of tens of thousands of his citizens and the destruction of his country were worth Ukraine’s joining NATO. That’s quite a choice. Another president might have decided the massive death and destruction that would be unleashed in such a war would not be worth joining NATO.
In any event, the war between Russia and Ukraine is not about freedom, as Zelensky said to Congress. It’s about Zelensky’s wish to have Ukraine join NATO.
And let’s keep in mind that NATO was part of the old Cold War racket that was used to justify the conversion of the U.S. government from a limited-government republic to a national-security state, which is a type of governmental structure that wields totalitarian-like powers. When the Cold War racket suddenly came to an end, the old Cold War dinosaur NATO should have gone out of existence, just as the Warsaw Pact did.
[But] the Pentagon and its “defense” contractors were clearly not ready to let go of their Cold War cash cow.
That’s what NATO’s absorption of former members of the Warsaw Pact was all about. By installing U.S. military forces and missiles ever closer to Russia’s border, the Pentagon’s aim was to incite a Russian reaction, which would then bring back the lucrative Cold War racket. Thus, the Pentagon knew exactly what it was doing when it persisted in absorbing Ukraine into NATO. And it clearly got what it was aiming for — a renewal of its Cold War racket and ever-increasing taxpayer-funded largess.
One of the unanswered questions is how much of the $100 billion in U.S. taxpayer money that U.S. officials have given to the Ukrainian government has been used to line the pockets of Ukrainian officials. After all, Ukraine is one of the most corrupt regimes in the world. There is no reason to believe that the Ukraine-Russia war has suddenly converted Ukrainian officials into honest and honorable government officials.
Finally, there is something else to consider that is of critical importance. The federal government’s debt now exceeds $31 trillion. U.S. officials, led by President Biden, continue spending money like there was no tomorrow. That includes almost a trillion dollars being given to the Pentagon to keep us “safe” from the threats that it itself induces. Ever-increasing federal spending, debt, taxation, and monetary destruction constitutes a grave threat to the freedom and well-being of the American people. In pleading with Congress to give the Ukrainian government even more billions of dollars of U.S. taxpayer money, it’s too bad that President Zelensky gives short shrift to the continued destruction of our own freedom and well-being here at home.
“So the leader of a foreign government, dressed in a sweatshirt, waltzes into the United States Congress and starts demanding money, and then has the gall to tell the people sitting there who are giving him tens of billions of dollars more of your money that it’s not charity, it’s an investment,” Carlson told his prime time audience that night.
“Where do you get off talking to us like that?” Carlson continued. “Do we hate ourselves so much? Do we have so little respect for the US that we put up with that, applaud it?”
And you really need to read this excellent exposé by Kurt Nimmo of Senator Lindsey Graham and his fellow warmongers within the U.S. government.
But make no mistake about it: Zelensky is a Zionist Nazi—and those terms are not contradictory.
Mark Weber and a handful of other courageous truth-telling historians have documented how Zionist leaders in Europe worked hand in hand with Adolph Hitler’s Nazis in promoting the Zionist agenda.
On this basis of their similar ideologies about ethnicity and nationhood, National Socialists and Zionists worked together for what each group believed was in its own national interest. As a result, the Hitler government vigorously supported Zionism and Jewish emigration to Palestine from 1933 until 1940-1941, when the Second World War prevented extensive collaboration.
Until late 1938, the Zionist movement flourished in Germany under Hitler. The circulation of the Zionist Federation’s bi-weekly Jüdische Rundschau grew enormously. Numerous Zionist books were published. “Zionist work was in full swing” in Germany during those years, the Encyclopaedia Judaica notes. A Zionist convention held in Berlin in 1936 reflected “in its composition the vigorous party life of German Zionists.”
The SS was particularly enthusiastic in its support for Zionism. An internal June 1934 SS position paper urged active and wide-ranging support for Zionism by the government and the Party as the best way to encourage emigration of Germany’s Jews to Palestine. This would require increased Jewish self-awareness. Jewish schools, Jewish sports leagues, Jewish cultural organizations — in short, everything that would encourage this new consciousness and self-awareness – should be promoted, the paper recommended.
Himmler’s security service cooperated with the Haganah, the Zionist underground military organization in Palestine. The Haganah was kept well informed about German plans by a spy it managed to plant in the Berlin headquarters of the SS. Haganah-SS collaboration even included secret deliveries of German weapons to Jewish settlers for use in clashes with Palestinian Arabs.
In early January 1941 a small but important Zionist organization submitted a formal proposal to German diplomats in Beirut for a military-political alliance with wartime Germany. The offer was made by the radical underground “Fighters for the Freedom of Israel,” better known as the Lehi or Stern Gang. Its leader, Avraham Stern, had recently broken with the radical nationalist “National Military Organization” (Irgun Zvai Leumi) over the group’s attitude toward Britain, which had effectively banned further Jewish settlement of Palestine. Stern regarded Britain as the main enemy of Zionism.
An important Lehi member at the time the group made this offer was Yitzhak Shamir, who later served as Israel’s Foreign Minister and then, during much of the 1980s and until June 1992, as Prime Minister. As Lehi operations chief following Stern’s death in 1942, Shamir organized numerous acts of terror, including the November 1944 assassination of British Middle East Minister Lord Moyne and the September 1948 slaying of Swedish United Nations mediator Count Bernadotte. Years later, when Shamir was asked about the 1941 offer, he confirmed that he was aware of his organization’s proposed alliance with wartime Germany.
That Zelensky, a Zionist Jew, would identify with Nazism and Fascism is not paradoxical at all. At its center, Zionism embodies the dictatorial ideals of both Communism and Fascism. Never forget that the Bolsheviks were mostly Zionist Jews—and that includes both Marx and Lenin.
Remember, too, that Benjamin Netanyahu is himself a fascist.
Marwan Bishara recently wrote an explanation of this reality in an article entitled Netanyahu, the godfather of modern Israeli fascism.
Fascism has been on the minds of Israel’s friends and foes alike since “the Jewish State” held its latest elections and its former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began negotiations to form a new coalition. Warnings about Israel “heading toward a fascist theocracy” or “sleep walking into Jewish fascism” have multiplied.
Washington has thus far remained largely silent even as several prominent American Jews spoke against the fascist menace that emerged from the Israeli ballot box. Rather than addressing concerns directly, the Biden administration spinelessly suggested that it would judge Netanyahu’s next government “based on its policies, not personalities”.
If Trump was, well, reckless, Biden is an accomplice.
But make no mistake, the problem of fascism in Israel lies less with the extremist parties that will be part of the next government and more with their enablers – Netanyahu and his chauvinistic Likud party which long strove for a Jewish state dominating both sides of the Jordan River.
In his autobiographical monstrosity, Bibi, My Story, which is part self-aggrandisement, part propaganda and part fascist manifesto, Netanyahu dedicates a chapter to his late father, Benzion. He boasts of his record as editor of a publication aptly named Hayarden (The Jordan), and as a leading voice in the militant revisionist movement which insisted upon the Jewish right to sovereignty over the whole of historic Palestine. Revisionist fighters, who eventually founded Likud’s predecessor Herut, were infamous for their terrorist operations before and during the 1948 war of independence.
That year, a number of leading Jewish voices, including Albert Einstein, Hannah Arendt and others, described the Herut Party in a public statement published in the New York Times newspaper as a “political party closely akin in its organisation, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to Nazi and Fascist parties”.
In short, those who continue to doubt that fascism is an impending danger for Israel, are not paying attention.
Every U.S. congressman who gave the Nazi leader from Ukraine a standing ovation owes Germany’s Nazi leader an apology.

Don’t Let Any Man Take Away Your Hope | Chuck Baldwin
Published: Thursday, November 24, 2022
In my Thanksgiving Sunday message last Lord’s Day, I brought a message entitled Thank You, Lord, For Showing Me Truth.
The points of that message are:
1. Thank you, Lord, for showing me the truth about Salvation.
2. Thank you, Lord, for showing me the truth about the New Covenant.
3. Thank you, Lord, for showing me the truth about the Sovereignty of God.
I opened point number three by quoting Benjamin Franklin during the Constitutional Convention, when the delegates were at a total impasse to adopt a constitution. At that moment, it looked like the victory of our War of Independence that had come at such great cost would all be for naught. The divisions among the thirteen colonies seemed insurmountable.
It was then that Benjamin Franklin stood and said these words:
I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth—that God Governs in the affairs of men. [Emphasis added] And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?
We have been assured, Sir, in the Sacred Writings, that “except the Lord build the House, they labor in vain that build it.” I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the Builders of Babel.
I therefore beg leave to move—that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessing on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the clergy of this City be requested to officiate in that service.
And that’s exactly what was done; and the result was our Constitution and Bill of Rights—and the birth of the American republic.
America today is at a seemingly insurmountable impasse. We are a house divided.
Furthermore, everywhere I turn, I hear conservatives talking about stolen elections and acting as if this is all happening outside the sovereignty and omniscience of our Great God.
To be sure, it is the job of the citizenry of each county and State to do everything they can to ensure that our elections are honest. To this end, maintaining paper ballots is a necessity.
But the fact is, examples of election fraud have been with us almost forever. If you doubt that, you haven’t lived in Chicago or Boston.
I remember my good friend Howard Phillips telling me in a private conversation about the ubiquitous voter fraud he saw by BOTH parties that took place in Boston back in the 1970s. And the dead have been voting in Chicago almost forever.
Of course, corrupt people in BOTH parties will attempt to corrupt the election process if they are able. There is absolutely nothing new about that.
But ever since Donald Trump lost in 2020, conservatives everywhere are screaming “stolen elections!” And more than that, some of them are even saying that we can never have honest elections again. All is lost! Conservatives can’t win, because the Deep State has rigged—and will continue to rig—the elections.
(By the way, we just elected a bunch of dependable conservative constitutionalists to public office here in Montana—and, no, I’m not including Ryan Zinke. And Florida didn’t do too badly either.)
The truth is, these so-called conservative experts have no idea as to how much or how little election fraud has actually taken place. It’s all conjecture and speculation. They do NOT know. Suspicion does not make fact.
But what these conservatives are doing is planting the seeds of hopelessness and despair in the hearts of the very people we need to help win this fight. By doing so, they become self-fulfilling prophecies.
What good is it to vote if you truly believe the elections are all fixed? What good is it to “get involved” to help restore Liberty and Freedom in our nation if the elections are all fixed?
If you truly believe the election box is totally fixed, you only have one box left: the cartridge box. So, why aren’t these prophets of doom reaching for that box? There can be only two reasons: 1) They really don’t believe elections are a totally lost cause themselves, which makes them hypocrites for saying they are, or 2) They do believe what they are saying, but they are too cowardly to do anything about it.
In reality, these conservative pundits are doing what the Deep State only wishes it could do: They are demoralizing and defeating Christians and conservatives all over America with their fatalism.
They owe America a sincere, heartfelt apology!
It was not hopelessness and despair that put those Patriots on Lexington Green; it was not hopelessness and despair that put those Patriots on Concord Bridge. It was not hopelessness and despair that put those Patriots on Bunker Hill. It was not hopelessness and despair that put those Patriots at Valley Forge.
It was courage, conviction, faith and HOPE.
Away with fatalism! There is a God in Heaven that “governs in the affairs of men.”
“Don’t Let Any Man Take Away Your Hope”—a video of less than two minutes.
Men today who are promoting all of this fatalistic doom and gloom are either void of Christian faith or they are Christians who are still hanging on to parts and pieces of the rotting corpse of the Old Covenant, men who have been duped by Scofield Futurism’s fatalistic theology of an imminent “antichrist tribulation.”
As New Testament Christians, we are instructed to watch for the appearance of Christ, NOT antichrist. We are to anticipate entrance into New Jerusalem, NOT “great tribulation.”
(I have an entire message on the errant teaching of Scofield Futurists regarding “the antichrist.” Find it here.)
Do these conservative prognosticators of doom fancy themselves prophets? Have they received divine revelation that they can say what the Sovereign God will do or not do tomorrow?
Such arrogance!
If our Founding Fathers believed the nonsensical Old Covenant doctrines of Scofield Futurism, they would have said what we are hearing today. The Colonial Committees of Correspondence and writings of James Otis and Thomas Paine would have been filled with defeatism, fatalism and woe—and America would not exist.
But our founders had not been propagandized with Scofieldism, because it wasn’t even invented yet. They believed the Word of God and God’s Natural Law. They were filled with faith, hope and love—which gave them COURAGE.
Listen to Samuel Adams:
The rights of the colonists as Christians . . . may be best understood by reading and carefully studying the institution of The Great Law Giver and Head of the Christian Church, which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament.
The word “Testament” is a synonym for “Covenant.” Adams was fully acquainted with the New Covenant. Notice that Adams asserts that our Natural rights and liberties are predicated upon the New Covenant. And indeed they are.
After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Samuel Adams declared:
We have this day restored the Sovereign to Whom all men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let His kingdom come.
That is not a political statement; that is a theological statement.
Instead of destroying the faith and spirit of our people, conservative Christian leaders should be reminding them to put their faith, NOT in political parties, but in the Lord God of Heaven and to fight the battles we face with HOPE, as the Word of God instructs us.
Our problem is not corrupt politicians, for they are but a reflection of the corruption in our own hearts. Our problem is we have forgotten the sage counsel of our founders and the divine instructions of God’s Holy Word.
If some of our elections are stolen, they are stolen with the notice and permissive will of Almighty God. And if so, this is a sign of God’s judgment on the CHURCH. God’s judgment on evil, unredeemed men is future; God’s judgment on the Church is now.
Instead of blaming the Deep State, we need to be putting the blame where it really belongs: on the doorstep of the Church and at the foot of the Pulpit.
Plus, conservatives just can’t seem to get it through their thick skulls that Donald Trump is a curse, not a blessing. Everything he touches turns to dung. He bankrupted his business SEVEN times. If the Zionist bankers didn’t own him and weren’t there to bail him out every time he failed—and failed, and failed, and failed, and failed, and failed and failed again—no one would even know his name. Successful businessman? Are you kidding?
The only reason Trump won in 2016—and I’ve said this repeatedly—is because he was running against the most hated politician in America at the time: Hillary Clinton. Had Bozo the Clown been the Republican nominee in 2016, HE would have won.
And conservatives can get mad at what I’m saying all they want to; it doesn’t change the truth of what I’m saying: Today, Trump is the most hated politician in America. Get outside the Trump fan base among conservatives and evangelicals, and Trump is despised. Every time he opens his mouth, more people hate him.
As long as Donald Trump is perceived as being the de facto (or literal) head of the Republican Party, they will continue to lose. They can blame stolen elections until the cows come home, but Trump is their albatross.
Stewart Rhodes and his companions would not be facing serious jail time today had Trump not led them to believe that he was something he’s not. Trump is good at that.
In this column during November of last year, I wrote:
I see only one way for the GOP to lose the White House in 2024: If they nominate Donald Trump. So, if you Republicans have a death wish, go ahead and nominate this con man. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.
With Trump at the helm, the GOP blew a golden opportunity to take both chambers of Congress, and barely eked out a win in the House. If they nominate Trump for president in 2024, it will be more of the same.
Don’t yell at me; save your curses for Trump.
The only light that is going to lead our nation out of this darkness is the light of the glorious New Covenant Gospel and the divine Liberty principles, which are the fruit of that great Root.
As did our Founding Fathers, in order to restore Liberty, we must “restore the Sovereign.”
And in that pursuit, don’t let any man take away your hope!
Have a Happy and Hopeful Thanksgiving!

ERIC – THE EPICENTER OF VOTER FRAUD
IT’S BEEN PROVEN AGAIN AND AGAIN
The American Policy Center has been kicking over rocks in the election fraud jungle for the better part of the last year. ERIC, the Electronic Registration Information Center is under every one, buried in the slime of intransigence, ignorance, and plausible deniability.
Most state officials choose to defend or ignore it. Even some supposed “conservatives” want to wash over the truth. This MUST stop. America MUST recognize ERIC for what it is – the epicenter of the voter fraud in the nation today.
Since early February, 2022, we at the APC have been reporting on ERIC. I personally have written six articles on election integrity, showing what ERIC is and what it does, as well as what we can do about it. I have learned a tremendous amount from experts along the way. My writings are listed at the end of this article.
From the very first, I tagged ERIC as a backbone of the Steal.
Everything that I researched about voter fraud and its sources leads to ERIC. Every rock overturned has ERIC beneath it.
ERIC is a membership organization ostensibly created for voter roll maintenance. In reality, it is a massive data-gathering operation which adds bogus “voters” to the system of every member state. Millions of inactive, ineligible and “phantom” voters with undeliverable addresses appear on member states’ voter rolls. These names are used for mail-in ballot fraud, ballot box stuffing and machine adjustments in real time.
ERIC was started in 2012 using Soros funds donated through the Pew Charitable Trust. It was conceived and organized by a highly unethical leftist named David Becker, who has spent a lifetime trying to defeat the conservative agenda in America.
Becker also played a role in the Wisconsin fraud of 2020, and has been openly named for more unethical and illegal activities, by Michael Gableman, former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice, author of the Wisconsin Election Review. Here is the link to Gabelman’s report.
Others have termed Becker a “partisan progressive”. I don’t have the patience for fancy names. I invite you to learn more from the Hon. Michael Gabelman and from the site below. Then, decide for yourself what YOU would like to call David Becker.
As you may or may not know, states are required by law to maintain their voter rolls. Becker played off of this. He beguiled state election officials, using language of plausible deniability, to provide an easy and relatively cheap system for doing this.
Becker counted on the fact that busy officials would bite on something that they thought would make their lives easier. He was correct. Seven states joined the first year.
Another interstate voter roll maintenance system was in place and being used quite successfully by 40 states, at ERIC’s inception. “Kansas Crosscheck” was free to its members. So, using a Soros-funded, Obama-appointed judge to hear a trumped-up case about imaginary “voter suppression” brought by the ACLU, one of the usual pay-per-whine plaintiffs, Crosscheck was shut down, and new members came pouring in to ERIC. It grew quickly, from 7 – 31 member states. After all, those busy state election officials needed a quick fix, and ERIC was in position to “help”.
Today 33 states and the District of Columbia are ERIC members:
Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, *, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
*Louisiana resigned as of July 15, 2022, thanks to the actions of citizen activists.
* * *
To understand the damage ERIC does, you must know that the very construct of ERIC is designed for fraud and data- gathering, not roll maintenance. Member states must turn in ALL data from their voter rolls, both old and new, as well as all records from motor vehicle divisions and every public service agency in the state.
ERIC takes all of these lists, and adds the USPS data and Social Security records from the state. All of this information on every person living in each state is stored in ERIC’s massive artificial intelligence system. Whether you are a voter or not, whether you are a CITIZEN or not, your name and personal information are stored with ERIC.
In return for giving over the private records of millions of its residents, ERIC members receive four lists: who moved; who died; who was adjudicated ineligible from felony conviction or mental incompetence; and who is eligible but unregistered to vote (EBU). States must solicit at least 90% of these EBU’s at least every 60 days providing them with voter registration information.
ERIC’s rules also disallow any name being marked as to citizenship. Florida has, in fact, removed the checkbox for citizenship from its drivers’ license app. Other states may have followed suit.
The law requires that this sensitive data be kept private, but records show that ERIC shares with at least Zuckerberg ‘s group, the “Center for Election Integrity”, and, surely anywhere else it can be used for fraud.
ERIC’s own website brags about how many new “voters” they have added nationwide. Nowhere can you find a word about how many ineligible voters have been cleaned from the rolls. Wasn’t this latter the purpose for ERIC? Yeah, not so much.
I will say it again. The design and operation of the ERIC system is for bloating, not cleaning voter rolls. As a matter of real fact, ERIC’s mandates include only a conditional requirement for list maintenance.
Recently, I have noticed that the ERIC bylaws no longer appear on their website.
Millions of names who may never vote end up on the rolls.
They are people who have moved from the state, choose not to vote, or have died. The “who moved and who died” are the richest lists for fake ballot submission. These phantom names show up on requests for mail-in ballots, mailing lists from state election officials, and even in the CVR’s (counted vote records) after en election. Many of these quite probably were the stuff put into drop boxes by the “Mules”on the midnight to 3 a.m. shift.
These bloated voter rolls are quite obvioius in the records of each state from the 2020 election. According to the report issued by the US Election Assistance Commission, itself a liberal group, the 2020 numbers are as follows.
Over 50% of ERIC members have voter rolls that contain more names than their entire voting age population. To whit:
*AK: 121.7%
*IL: 108.2
*MI: 108.1
*ME: 106.9
*KY: 106.5
*DE: 104.1
*GA: 103.6
*RI: 102.0
*SC: 101.8
*FL: 101.6
*NV: 101.0
*AL: 100.9
*MD: 100.4
*WA: 100.0
*Figures not available for new members, NJ and MA.
My recent article on “Settling the Confusion about ERIC”, gives more numbers for other states. The link to it is at the end of this article.
Of course, there will always be inaccuracies in voter lists. None will ever be perfect. People do move around, and die, become incapacitated or commit a crime. Some just don’t care about voting. That is their right, sadly. But the massive numbers of ineligible voters appearing on so many states’ rolls is no coincidence. It is contrived.
Face it. David Becker did not develop ERIC to create honest and up-to-date voter rolls. That is crystal clear from who he is, as well as from the design of his system. He is proud of his reputation as a far-left member of the Swamp. Being politically neutral is not in his nature. Just as he worked to help the City of Boston discriminate against conservative voters – behind the back of his own employer the DOJ – so too, did he design a massive get-out-the vote scheme to defraud Americans. Becker pretends that he is no longer involved in the management of ERIC, but is documented to be an active part, to this day. Please do read about him at Influence Watch, above. You’ll never doubt his motive or design.
* * *
In the recent weekend symposium, A Moment of Truth, activists from 48 of the 50 states reported on their states’ major problems with election integrity. EVERY ERIC member reported problems with hugely bloated voter rolls. Many reported that state officials were unwilling to discuss the issues, or are even openly hostile on the subject of clean elections. Activists told stories about being stone-walled by legislators, deprived of information that is legally theirs, even jailings and fatal accidents. The dark passion for fraud runs deep.
The entire broadcast of “A Moment for Truth” should be available at Rumble. If it is not, well, you know what may have happened. So goes much that is truth today.
ERIC was called out by name many times over the two days of the broadcast. The Hon. Michael Gabelman, former Supreme Court Justice of Wisconsin, went into the role of ERIC in some detail. Here is a summary of his findings.
Despite the obvious connection of the ERIC system to voter fraud, its leading role was somehow side-lined, ignored. For many months, late in 2021 and the first half of 2022, nobody wanted to talk about it. Folks who had written against it in 2016 and 2017, suddenly supported it. Others tried to hush discussion and debate on the subject. It seemed to many, including me, that “the word” had gone around. ERIC was off limits. This only made me more certain than ever that ERIC was where we should be looking, even above machines, ballot harvesters or mules.
However, a number of recent articles on election fraud have now been published by The Federalist, The New American, UncoverDC, Revolver News and The Epoch Times. All discuss ERIC by name, and advocate states getting out asap.
One very in-depth report by Verity Vote did a particularly good job in breaking through the smoke and mirrors. It’s title, “Threats to Election Integrity” ERIC-CEIR-REVERE. Although I printed it out, I cannot find the link. Again, not unusual if something is too full of truth.
Another online article went missing, only 12 hours after it was published.
On August 23, an article by Patricia Tolson appeared in the Epoch Times. It dealt at some length with problems in Florida. Ms. Tolson covered a report released by a group of citizen activists in Florida. It found real problems, not only with uncooperative election officials, inconsistent roll management, but also “problems with ERIC”. Tolson also revealed that Florida allows third-party registration of voters. Gosh and golly, how could THAT possibly pollute the voter rolls? I’ve got no link to give you because there isn’t one.
Other Florida activists have done amazing work as well.
Florida4America and The People’s Audit have proven thousands of undeliverable addresses on the rolls of their counties, to which addresses ballots were mailed, and from which they were returned, VOTED. They can show fake street names being added to the rolls, then removed after ballots were voted from those addresses.
These ordinary citizens gave up jobs, dipped deeply into personal savings, walked miles to canvass, spent long hours over spread sheets. The fruit of their labors was presented to the statehouse in Tallahassee in the form of charts, graphs and stacks of affidavits from voters. Crickets.
They bought a page in a local paper, to display the facts they have found, to call attention to the plight of Florida voters. That paper refused to print it because the editor said they “didn’t have the facts”!
When they presented the proof to their county officials, they were called liars – with the evidence of boxes FULL of yellow returned-mail labels (where ballots had been sent) in plain sight. A press conference was called specially to accuse them (of presenting the truth?) That particular Supervisor of Election even went so far as to submit their names to DeSantis’s new Election Crimes Division as having dealt in “disinformation.”
This is utterly chilling. Even in a supposed “good red state”, its citizens who care are being denounced and targeted. The way these good people have been treated in their own state is stunning.
To many, it is hard to fathom this kind of thing coming from the state governed by such a popular Republican Governor. It is entirely possible that Gov. DeSantis is being blocked from the citizens’ information by backroom players, as was President Trump during his White House stay. We can only hope that the powers that be in Florida take note and take action, asap.
Recently, I interviewed one of their leaders, Kris Jurski, of The People’s Audit, twice on Catching Fire News, an online video news outlet. Listen to him explain their efforts.
What they have accomplished, what they have been able to prove working together with citizens from around the state is truly amazing. Their work is both an inspiration and a model for others who want to understand how they may help. Why are they and their information being attacked?
For every effort to explain and expose the truth about ERIC, there has been blow back. It was expected from the Blue states of course. What was unanticipated – although maybe that was just naivete on my part – was the attack on good activists with reams of proof, by Red state officials and even a few “Conservative” groups. It’s a part of the story that needs to be told.
The people must be heard. Our country belongs to us.
It’s time to reclaim it.
Let’s just say, it’s been a long row to hoe, turning up and exposing what we have about ERIC. Until now.
We at American Policy Center are delighted and gratified to learn of so many that are now calling the ERIC system out for exactly what it is, and for exposing the guts of the ugly fraud beast. We hope that this will help all groups in every state to gain traction pulling together for our freedom.
* * *
No one needs to be reminded that it is our God-given right to vote, to select those who will represent us in governance. This is what has made America the bright star of freedom for the world.
There is today, however, a well-defined and -funded entity who would bring down our Republic and everything about our lives that we hold dear. To do so, they are coming after our ballots, and have crafted a weapon known as ERIC to help conquer us.
Do NOT let it happen! We have but one more election to be free. If we allow this kind of frontal assault on liberty to happen again, we will go the way of Venezuela, and lose our freedom forever.
Join hands in your own community. Go to public meetings, stand on the courthouse steps. Make your voices heard. Come to https://www.americanpolicy.org for what to do and how. It is not too late.
Get off the couch and out the door. We have a country to save!

Biden’s Student Debt Forgiveness Scheme is Unforgivable
From The Desk Of Ron Paul
President Biden announced last week, he would be “forgiving” student loan debt, something that he does not have the constitutional authority to do.
And as I explain in my latest column, what Biden is really trying to do is transfer the debt of higher-income Americans onto the backs of lower-income Americans.
Not only that, but if allowed by the courts, the 300 to 500 billion dollar (or more!) price tag is going to exacerbate the economic crisis that is already unraveling.
This “forgiveness” is no act of nobility; it’s a travesty, and people need to understand its true nature.
Please read my latest column below, and if you’re moved to do so, please pass it along to other patriots you know.
—Ron Paul
Biden’s Student Debt Forgiveness Scheme is Unforgivable
Last week, President Biden announced he is creating a new program forgiving 10,000 dollars of student loan debt for those with income under 125,000 dollars a year. The amount rises to 20,000 dollars for borrowers who are Pell Grant recipients. Biden flip-flopped on the issue as he previously denied that the president has the authority to create a new student loan debt forgiveness program. He now claims a 2003 law allowing the Education Department to waive or modify provisions of federal student financial assistance programs to help students affected by war, other military operations, or a national emergency gives him the authority. Biden says debt forgiveness is necessary because of a continuing covid national emergency.
It seems odd that Biden would claim covid is a national emergency when even the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has stopped recommending lockdowns, masks, and “social distancing.” A broad student loan forgiveness program also does not seem to fit the purpose of this statute, which was to provide student loan forgiveness for military personal, first responders, and others engaged in fighting the “war on terror.” Another basis offered for the president having the power to cancel the loans is a provision in the 1965 Higher Education Act that gives the Education Department limited authority to modify or forgive student loan debt. Given the Supreme Court’s recent decision narrowing the scope of a federal agency’s ability to unilaterally enact major new policies based on limited grants of authority, it is a definite possibility that the courts will overturn the student loan forgiveness program.
If the courts uphold the president’s action, then as many of 43 million Americans could have significant amounts, or even all, of their student debt forgiven. Of course, the debt does not go away; instead, the “forgiven” debt will simply be added to the national debt to be paid by the taxpayers either in the form of direct taxes or the hidden inflation tax. Thus, these loans will be paid off in part by taxpayers who did not go to college, paid their own way through school, or have already paid off their student loans. Since those with college degrees tend to earn more over time than those without them, this program redistributes wealth from lower to higher income Americans.
The student loan forgiveness will add between 300 and 500 billion dollars to the national debt. This is a greater increase in debt than the supposed “deficit reduction,” which consists of tax increase and expanding the IRS, contained in the phony Inflation Reduction Act.
President Biden also announced he is extending the student loans payment moratorium through the end of the year. “Temporary” federal benefits are rarely, if ever, truly temporary. When the time comes for the moratorium to expire, Congress will almost certainly extend it in response to pressure from constituents who benefit from the program, which includes colleges and universities in Congress members’ states and districts. The expectation that more student loan debt will be forgiven will also encourage more students to take out loans and will give colleges a new incentive to raise their tuition. This will raise the cost of the student loan and loan forgiveness programs.
Increasing debt caused by expanding student loans and loan forgiveness will increase pressure on the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates low, leading to continued price inflation and an eventual major economic crisis. A step in avoiding this and reversing course is convincing a critical mass of people to understand that the welfare-warfare state and the fiat money system that underlies it are impractical and immoral.
BLUE OVALS AND INFRASTRUCTURE BOONDOGGLES ARE TARGETING TENNESSEE
Tennessee is being overwhelmed by global public/private partnerships that are pretending to be green while, in truth, they are damaging to the environment and their real purpose is to redistribute middle class wealth.
Earlier this year, local activists in Tennessee, along with Mississippi and Arkansas, fought off the GlobalPublic/Private Partnership (GPPP) of “RegionSmart Development District that would cast a net of control over portions of all three states. Now we are looking at another big GPPP incursion into the Volunteer state. Ford announced that it is building 3,600-acre ‘campuses’ called cities that will be “the home of 6,000 new jobs, and will be total carbon neutral by the start of production.”
Blue Oval City
“The first of the investments is a new $5.6 billion “mega campus” in Stanton, Tenn. It’s going to be formally named “Blue Oval City,” because it’s literally going to be as big as a city. The complex will comprise 3,600 acres — almost 6 square miles. Ford plans on using it for vehicle assembly, battery production and a supplier park. It will be the home of approximately 6,000 new jobs and will serve as “a hive of technical innovation” to build next-gen electric F-Series trucks. Ford says it will be a vertically integrated system and feature numerous sustainability solutions and use renewable resources. The goal of the plant will be total carbon neutrality by the projected start of production in 2025.”
It’s going to be interesting. Let’s start with the total carbon neutrality. So, all the harmful effects from Electric Vehicle (EV) production occurs before the materials enter Blue Oval City. Yes, let’s let other countries deal with the carbon issue – and the issue of human rights abuses and environmental degradation associated with the mining of the minerals and other materials necessary for EV batteries?
Now, let’s look closer to home. 3,600 acres. I am guessing that those acres are not in brownfields. Nope, according to Delta Farm Press, the Ford plant will occupy “a large footprint in the heart of Tennessee’s row crop production area. Haywood County produces more cotton than any other county in the state and is near the top of the list for soybeans and corn.” Forgive me for being so petty, but right now – with the decimation of farm and ranch lands, with the food production plants being burned to the ground across America – I think we Tennesseans will have a hard enough time purchasing food, and I for one, cannot afford (even if I wanted) to purchase an Electric Vehicle.
The Delta Farm Press article also made another good point, “Will Ford’s claims that the new plant will be carbon neutral, powered by local renewable energy, mean more cropland converted to solar farms?” Just asking.
The Carbon Capture Pipelines in the five Midwest states are going to be stealing a lot more land and the Global Public/Private Partnerships behind this project are hoping that the farmer-owners of the land will willing cede their land for a few tokens – or the land will be “taken” from them by eminent domain. Will that be the case in Tennessee, too, if the landowners are not willing to sell? Just asking.
Obviously, that early tool of asymmetrical warfare the global elite used to great effect – environmental destruction – no longer matters. According to them, we were supposed to be “saving” the rural and suburban areas of the country to protect the environment and its non-human occupants. Blue Oval cities and the Carbon Capture Pipeline do the opposite – they destroy perfectly good arable land.
Maurice Strong, forerunner of George Soros, as the grand poobah of environmentalism and the new world order said, “Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class…involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts of frozen and convenience foods, ownership of motor vehicles, golf courses, small electric appliances, home and work place air-conditioning, and suburban housing are not sustainable…” Note: the elite who control and spend far more than all the middle and lower classes combined are not the problem here. In fact, they are the solution, because soon they will rid the world of the other classes. So, what are we to believe – that we need to protect as much land as possible from human use or should we emulate the elite and tear up the earth for our pet projects – four-wheeling, rodeos, and stockcar racing – because we know that CO2 is not the problem, so we will work to make more of it? Moving on.
Infrastructure Disingenuity
U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg announced an award of $64 million for three Tennessee infrastructure projects from the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program. In my humble opinion, I think it should be the Raze program as it is helping the Global Elite and the New World Order destroy America.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, the RAISE program was made “to help urban and rural communities move forward on projects that modernize roads, bridges, transit, rail, ports, and intermodal transportation and make our transportation systems safer, more accessible, more affordable, and more sustainable.”
First, look at the “Complete Streets and International Traffic Signal (ITS) Traffic Signal Coordination Project” that has invading nearly community in the nation.
What are “Complete Streets” projects? Let me quote from the American Policy Center’s Activist Handbook, p.84.
“Heartland 2050 includes the program called the ‘Complete Street’. That is an edict that cars must share the road with bicycles, It calls for ‘Traffic Calming’, which means large speed bumps placed in the center of residential streets that make driving a very unpleasant experience. (planned) In addition there are traffic circles that are menaces to emergency equipment as well as the normal driver. Across the nation, through smart growth plans, communities are now building residential apartment buildings without parking. It’s all designed to discourage interest in driving so that residents use bikes for short trips or public transportation, including light rail trains.”
“One of the leaders of this project said, ‘What we are trying to do is see equity of public space. When you build your streets for cars you’re actually building in the expectation that people are going to have cars.’ So if you stop having streets, obviously people will stop wanting cars.’” It goes on, but you should ‘get’ the picture by now.
The global elite want us to stop building streets; actually they want us to quit driving cars. EVs are just the next – incremental — step in that direction. Look at California this summer – officials telling people not to plug in their EVs to recharge them because of the power shortages. Do you want to buy into that? Just saying.
The other two projects are 1, to replace a bridge in Chattanooga so a 12.5-foot wide multi-use (bike and walking) path can be added to the edge, and 2, re-engineering the intersection of U.S. Highway 127, redesign right-of-way to include bicycle lanes and ADA-compliant pathways as well as vehicle lanes, stormwater runoff management, new curb and curb cuts, a new network of pedestrian walks, crossing points, pedestrian bridges and amenities, ITS infrastructure, and wireless broadband throughout the corridor. As we are inundated with news stories about “the coming food catastrophe” and “a global food crisis”, our tax dollars are being spent on bike paths, ‘pedestrian bridges and amenities”. Did someone forget to tell our ‘esteemed leaders’?
Why the “attack” on Tennessee? Yes, I see this as an attack – to redistribute wealth, to destroy farmland, to tear up streets, to get us out the suburbs – to have more control on us. Well, as a Tennessean, I think we are smarter than those pushing Smart Cities, Smart Cars, Smart Growth, Smart meters, and on and on. But we are not alone, every state is being attacked, even red states.
It is time to say no to the Newspeak version of Smart. It’s really stupid to destroy what the Industrial Revolution built. It is destroying our civilization and eliminating the moral compass.
It is taking us back to savages – what else would you call those in Antifa and Black Lives Matter? Those who would control the world by eliminating 90% of us. Those who believe the Rule of Law means “he who holds power at the moment makes the law.”
Let’s not go there.
Let’s, instead, take back our counties and begin to rebuild with moral humans in mind.
