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.

Here’s Tucker Carlson:

“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.

Do You Really Want World War III—A Nuclear War At That? Some Idiots Do! – Chuck Baldwin

Published: Thursday, March 10, 2022

With the Covid fraud trying to make a fast escape in time for Democrats to try and salvage what looks to be a bloodbath of congressional elections for them in November, the drumbeats of war have arrived just in time to pick up the baton of government duplicity.

I remember back in the 90s when an evangelist friend of mine spoke to my congregation at the time and made this statement that has always stayed with me: “People love being lied to.” Boy, did he ever nail it with that one.

Can anyone remember when bumper stickers were ubiquitous that said, “I don’t believe the media”? Can you remember when someone would make the statement, “If a politician’s lips are moving, he is lying,” and everyone in the room would applaud?

What happened to those days? Have people lost their minds? I think a bunch of them have.

Virtually everyone in the MSM and government—from both parties—has become cheerleaders for war with Russia over Ukraine.

Do you really want World War III—a nuclear war at that? Some idiots do!

Let me ask you, what exactly has Ukraine done for you lately? What has Ukraine done for the United States? Tell me 3 things. Tell me 2 things. Tell me ONE thing Ukraine has done for the United States.

The Ukrainian government is a cesspool of corruption—most of it Western corruption, meaning American, British and Israeli. Corrupt government officials in the West are panicking because they have billions of dollars being laundered through the banks of Ukraine. The calls for war from these government officials have nothing to do with U.S. security and safety—or even freedom in Ukraine—and everything to do with a bunch of government gangsters trying to hold on to their stolen loot.

Patrick McShay has an excellent analysis on Ukraine:

These politicians and pundits saying that support for Ukraine is support for freedom and democracy are clueless or are benefiting in some way, it’s ludicrous! These are the same people that convinced over half of the American population to get an experimental and dangerous vaccine that we now know is DNA changing gene therapy, and put masks on their children in school. The truth is, if Ukraine is liberated from these criminals currently in charge, we might learn just how dirty some of these US politicians really are. [Emphasis added]

Victoria Nuland’s husband is Jewish Neo-Con Robert Kagan, who co-founded the “Project For A New American Century” and wrote the white paper titled, “A Clean Break” for Bibi Netanyahu in 1996. It called for Israeli full spectrum dominance of the Middle East and became a hallmark of George W. Bush’s foreign policy and a blueprint for his disastrous nation building in the region.

The so-called invasion of the Donbass region and Crimea as presented by the US media is another big lie. After the Maidan protests in Kiev, the Ukrainian Army began shelling the Russian speaking Donbass Region which has continued intermittently since, a violation of the Minsk agreement signed in 2015. That agreement should have ended the fighting in east Ukraine and given autonomy to the Russian speaking area of the Donbass region, but since the agreement was signed, the Ukrainian Government has refused to abide by the agreement.

In another agreement made in 1992, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the US gave Russia assurances that no NATO bases would be built on their borders. The last US Ambassador to the Soviet Union, Jack Matlock, who has repeatedly maintained, including in Congressional testimony on the subject, that Gorbachev had received assurances that if Germany was united and stayed in NATO, the borders of NATO would not move further east. That did not last long.

In 1990 George H. W. Bush’s Secretary of State James Baker promised Russian President Gorbachev that after the reunification of Germany that “NATO would not expand one inch eastward”, and German diplomat Jurgen Chrobog said at the same meeting that “NATO would not expand beyond the Elbe River and therefore not offer membership to Poland or others”.

In 2007, at the Munich Security Conference, Putin accused NATO of duplicity and threatening Russia, and said “NATO expansion represents a serious provocation and reduces the level of mutual trust.” Joe Biden and his puppet Zelensky have repeatedly violated the Minsk agreement resulting in 14,000 deaths and over 1.2 million refugees that have been forced to abandon their homes and flee to Russia. Where is the American media on this key issue of importance to this narrative?

In 2008, when George W. Bush announced that Ukraine and Georgia were eligible for NATO membership, former Congressman Ron Paul said he knew it was a “Terrible idea”, “providing US Military guarantees to Ukraine and Georgia can only further strain our military. This NATO expansion may well involve the US Military in conflicts unrelated to our national interests.” Dr. Paul was right as usual, the reason they would never allow him to be President.

According to Webb, Zelensky owns a $35 million mansion near Miami. Webb also says he has evidence that another Ukrainian Jewish billionaire, Victor Pinchuk has been depositing $12 million a month into Zelensky’s account that has over a billion dollars in it. In case you don’t remember, Kolomoyskyi is a major shareholder in Burisma Oil Company, owned by another shady character and another Jewish oligarch named Mykola Zlochevsky, the company that paid Hunter Biden, his business partner Devon Archer, and former CIA asset Cofer Black tens of thousands of dollars a month each to sit on the board of Burisma. Devon Archer was just sentenced to prison last week for defrauding the Oglala Sioux Indian tribe in another criminal scam.

Ukraine is a hub for criminal activity and many of our politicians including The Biden Crime Family are making a fortune in dirty money there. This war is costing these pirates billions. Webb has also reported that Kolomoyskyi operates 11 bio-labs in Ukraine and Kazakhstan funded by the US Pentagon.

For the lamebrains in the media that can’t understand why Putin and the Russians have made this move, imagine if Russia spent billions of dollars to destabilize Mexico, armed several dissident groups, planned a revolution, forced their president to flee in a bloody coup, installed a puppet president who won’t complain when they loot the treasury, and then start putting Russian military bases across the border from Texas and Arizona. That is what criminal US Politicians on both sides of the aisle have done in Ukraine thanks to Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Adam Schiff, John Kerry, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Richard Burr, Nancy Pelosi and many others.

Yet, the mendacious media in New York City and the government grafters in Washington, D.C., have whipped the American public into a war frenzy where people with death wishes on both sides of the political aisle are marching in the streets calling for World War III.

Make no mistake about it: War between East and West would involve nuclear weapons. That is an absolute certainty.

And as you might expect, evangelicals are among the most enthusiastic cheerleaders for war with Russia (with the justification for it all being LIES). That’s because 80% of evangelicals have been totally duped by Scofield Futurism and believe that Putin and Russia are the “Gog and Magog” of Ezekiel and Revelation. (They are not!) As such, they believe that if America goes to war with Russia, “the antichrist” will soon come along and lead a Russian attack against Israel (WWIII) that will bring Jesus back. Predictably, many of them are calling Putin “the antichrist.” (He is not!) Conveniently, they believe that they won’t have to endure the calamitous consequences of a nuclear war, because they will be “raptured” to Heaven first. (They will not!)

The creation of NATO and Zionist Israel has made practically every conflict in the world America’s business, when the fact is, the vast, vast majority of these foreign conflicts are NONE OF OUR BUSINESS. The only thing American involvement in any of these conflicts does is to make them WORSE.

In George Washington’s Farewell Address (America’s greatest presidential address), he warned of the dangers of foreign entanglements:

Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens,) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake; since history and experience prove, that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of Republican Government.

The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connexion [spelling in the original] as possible.

Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.

Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor, or caprice?

‘Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.

Would to God that America’s political leaders and people would have faithfully followed Washington’s counsel. Virtually every political, social, military and economic problem that America has faced and now faces is the result of ignoring Washington’s sagacious instructions.

We all need to pray that America’s stupid, sinister and self-righteous meddling in the Ukrainian conflict doesn’t bring nuclear warheads down on our heads.

P.S. We have just created a brand new unique DVD of my latest prophecy message entitled Antichrist, Antichrists, The Man Of Sin And The Falling Away.

The timing of this message could not have been better. I deal briefly with the Russia/Ukraine conflict in the message. And I deal at length with “the antichrist” issue. Who or what is he and who or what is he not?

Oh! How I wish every evangelical could hear and heed the truths of this message. If evangelicals really understood the truths of this message, the drumbeats of war and international meddling—at least from evangelicals—would stop overnight.

The Birth Of Christ And The Birth Of America Are Linked – Chuck Baldwin

Published: Thursday, December 23, 2021

This Saturday is the day in which we commemorate the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. As such, I am reminded of a quote by John Quincy Adams. On July 4, 1837, he spoke these words:

Why is it that, next to the birth day of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day? . . . Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer’s mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity, and gave to the world the first irrevocable pledge of the fulfillment of the prophecies announced directly from Heaven at the birth of the Savior and predicted by the greatest of the Hebrew prophets six hundred years before?

Adams was exactly right. The United States of America is the only nation in human history established by mostly Christian people, founded upon 2,000 years of Christian thought, Reformation preaching and Biblical Natural Law principles—and dedicated to the purpose of religious and personal liberty and equal justice under the law. This truth is easily observed within America’s earliest history.

America’s forebears established a written covenant with God as early as November 11, 1620, when they penned The Mayflower Compact. It states in part:

In the name of God, Amen. . . . Having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith and honour of our king and country, a voyage to plant the first colonie in the Northern parts of Virginia, do by these presents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God, and one of another, covenant, and combine our selves together into a civil body politick; for our better ordering, and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame such just and equal laws, ordinances, Acts, constitutions and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the colonie: unto which we promise all due submission and obedience.

From the beginning, the sentiments and statements of America’s founders make it clear that this country has enjoyed a love and appreciation for the rights and freedoms recognized in Natural Law that is unique in the annals of human history. No other nation has such a heritage.

The Declaration of Independence states, “[Men] are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” It also states that these rights are “self-evident” and that they were formed by the “Laws of Nature.

These principles are taken directly from the Scriptures—and from Natural Law philosophers such as Hugo Grotius, John Locke, Samuel Von Pufendorf, Emer de Vattel and Charles Montesquieu. Furthermore, one cannot read what these men wrote without quickly observing that they formed their writings largely on the Scriptures.

The signers of our Declaration of Independence could have never imagined that churches in America would cheerfully submit to white-coated tyrants and lock their doors and cancel their services, thereby participating in the oppressive act of denying men the fundamental right of the freedom of worship granted to us by our Creator.

They could never have imagined that individual states would deny their citizens the right to bear arms. They could have never dreamed that the American people would be denied the right to be free from warrantless searches—a criminal act which takes place every day throughout this country.

I am also confident that America’s founders would be completely repulsed by the way the United States has plunged headlong into welfarism, corporatism and Zionism. At the national level, Democrats and Republicans alike have created a central government so monstrous that it would be unrecognizable to any founding father—even Alexander Hamilton.

Big Business is merely an economic partner of Big Government; the major media has become little more than a propaganda ministry of Big Government; corporate 501c3 churches view Big Government as a god to be worshiped; and evangelical Christians seem to be drunk on the perpetual wars and entangling alliances of Big Government’s neocon Warfare State.

Surely, our Founding Fathers must be turning over in their graves.

Therefore, it behooves us to recommit ourselves to our nation’s founding principles.

Furthermore, let us renew with vigor the fight for freedom before our liberties and heritage disappear altogether.

John Quincy Adams was right. The birth of Christ and the birth of America are indissolubly linked.

From my family to yours: Merry Christmas!

P.S. I again urge readers to get my newest sermon DVD entitled Christian Zionism Has Taken Bethlehem Back To The Days Of Herod.

This might be the most in-depth and personal homily of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict I’ve ever delivered. I’ve received many letters and emails from people living in Jerusalem and Palestine telling me how much they enjoyed the message and how accurately I depicted the truth of what’s really happening there.

Trump’s Abominable, Reprehensible And Downright Tyrannical Executive Order

Published: Thursday, December 19, 2019

I’ll make this column short and to the point.

Trump’s executive order—deceptively called “An Executive Order on Combating Anti-Semitism”—issued this past week, will empower the federal Department of Education to withhold funding to college campuses that do not squash anti-Israel rhetoric. In other words, it is now official government policy to deny college students and faculty members their Natural and constitutional right to criticize—especially and primarily if they criticize any and all things Israel. This will also doubtless include speech that supports Palestinian rights.

Trump also declared that the religion of Judaism is a nationality or ethnicity and is beyond criticism. Can you imagine the outcry if he had declared Christianity to be a nationality?

Plus, by issuing this Executive Order, Donald Trump has made every Christian and non-Jew in the United States a second-class citizen. But don’t expect Robert Jeffress and his gaggle of Christian Zionists to figure that out.

I have said repeatedly that Donald Trump is America’s first Zionist president. And Trump’s actions continue to prove that statement true.

Trump’s latest attack against the Constitution—specifically the First Amendment—is just his latest sellout to Israel. I’ll say it straight out: Donald Trump is not trying to make America great; he is trying to make Israel great.

By the way, I’m glad to see that rabid Jewish Zionist, Mark Levin, agrees with me. At the signing ceremony of this draconian executive order, Levin called Trump “the first Jewish President of the United States.”

Even casual research will easily discover that Trump’s family is dominated by Jewish Zionists, as is his circle of friends and business associates. What a coincidence.

Trump says his executive order (EO) is protecting free speech on college campuses. That’s a lie. His EO is squashing free speech—specifically speech that criticizes Israel or Zionism.

Think about this: Under Trump’s EO, colleges will be punished if they allow the reading of the New Testament on campus, as the New Testament is replete with criticisms of Israel and the Jews.

Donald Trump is a pathetic puppet of the likes of ultra-Zionist billionaire Sheldon Adelson. Even worse is the fact that the Christian Zionist preachers and churches in this country are as much Adelson’s puppets as is Trump, which is why they love Trump so much.

And all of this hypnotic support for faux Israel can be traced directly to the false teachings of John Darby and C. I. Scofield and the thousands of Christian Zionist churches and scores of Christian Zionist colleges that those two men created.

It would not be hyperbolic to say that Donald Trump is the quintessential creation of Darby and Scofield. And it is no coincidence that Trump is also the Blasphemer-in-Chief, because everything associated with Zionism is blasphemy.

Now the Zionist Donald Trump is trying to prohibit colleges from criticizing Zionism. If you are looking for an impeachable offense, this blatant abridgment of the First Amendment by the President of the United States is it.

But don’t expect Democrats in Congress to challenge Trump’s unconscionable EO that officially elevates Jewishness to royalty status, because the same Israeli lobby that controls the Republicans in Washington, D.C., also controls the Democrats.

Trump’s EO will deny funding for colleges and universities unless they prohibit the right of faculty and students to exercise their First Amendment freedom of speech to criticize Israel.

How long will it be before Trump decides to criminalize anyone who criticizes Israel?

Donald Trump and America’s Christian Zionist preachers are foolishly trying to undo what God did when He prophesied through His prophets—including John the Baptist at the birth of Christ and later Jesus Himself—the destruction of Jerusalem, along with the Jewish temple and the devilish Pharisee cult (of which the modern Zionist cult is a direct spiritual descendent) and when He then fulfilled those prophecies in 70 AD.

I urge readers to watch the very powerful message DVD entitled The Destruction Of Jerusalem.

Donald Trump is not only a Zionist hack; he is a wanna-be tyrant. And this executive order proves it. This executive order is abominable, reprehensible and downright tyrannical.

Here is my 5-minute video rebuttal of Trump’s tyrannical executive order.

The false doctrines of Christian Zionism have all but destroyed the Church in America and are in the process of bringing America itself to the precipice of destruction. If real Christians do not have a spiritual awakening to and an honest repentance of the wicked designs and doctrines of Zionism (both Christian and Jewish)—and I mean SOON—this great nation that was built on the eternal principles of Christ’s New Covenant and God’s Natural Law will cease to exist as a free republic.

Thankfully, we are beginning to see a spiritual enlightenment take place across the country in which people are coming to recognize the wickedness of Zionism (both Christian and Jewish) and are repudiating those vile doctrines—which is doubtless one reason why Trump felt constrained to issue his blatantly unconstitutional executive order. That’s what tyrants and despots do. When they begin losing the battle of intellectual debate and public opinion, they start using brute force.

And I am further pleased (and humbled) to see that my message DVD The Destruction Of Jerusalem is being used of God to help awaken hundreds—if not thousands—of people to the Biblical truth of Israel.

In is no hyperbole to say that without an understanding of the component of Jerusalem’s foretold—and ultimate—destruction, one cannot fully understand the complete fulfillment of the birth of Jesus Christ—something God intended to be apodictic.

Yes, millions of Christians in America are celebrating the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ with no real understanding of the true significance of Christ’s birth. Zionism has blinded them even to the point that they are unable to see Christ’s birth clearly.

As you celebrate the virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ this season, please understand that one of the major components of Christ’s birth was the destruction of the tyranny of Pharisaical Judaism—known today as Talmudic Zionism—which was accomplished when the Roman army destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD.

Paradoxically, the only impetus for the 20th and now 21st century resurgence of Talmudic Zionism is from the monstrous misinterpretation and misapplication of Scripture by professed believers in Christ who swallowed and followed the deceptive doctrines of Darby and Scofield.

To help your friends and loved ones understand the true Biblical teaching on Israel, I urge you to take advantage of this half-price special on this one-of-a-kind message, The Destruction Of Jerusalem. You’ve probably never heard and never will hear another message like it.

And, once again, here is my 5-minute video rebuttal of Trump’s tyrannical executive order. Please feel free to share it.

Chuck Baldwin: The War Party Is At It Again

Published: Thursday, June 20, 2019

Trade a Democrat for a Republican; trade a liberal for a conservative: It doesn’t matter. The War Party remains in charge either way. The people who thought they were voting for Donald Trump because he would extricate America from these endless foreign wars should realize by now that he is just another wuss for the War Party.

Donald Trump has expanded America’s bombing wars against Somalia and Syria. He has expanded America’s drone attacks against Pakistan and Yemen. He has expanded America’s ground war in Afghanistan. U.S. wars in Iraq and Libya have never stopped. U.S. wars have killed over 500,000 people (mostly innocent civilians) in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan alone.

Now Trump is sending 1,000 troops to Russia’s border in Poland. He is sending an additional 1,000 troops (the real number could be 5 or 10 times that) to the Middle East. What most of us are not hearing reported is that Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan (CFR) told top national security aides that the Pentagon has plans to send 120,000 U.S. troops to the Middle East. Coincidentally, this is the exact same number of U.S. forces that were used in the invasion of Iraq.

Trump has already sent nuclear-capable B-52 bombers to the Middle East. He has sent the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group to the Middle East. He is sending U.S. warships to the tip of China’s territorial waters. He is sending U.S. military jets and bombers to the tip of Russia’s airspace. He is threatening overt war with Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba and Iran. At least 5,000 U.S. troops have been rushed to Venezuela’s border-neighbor, Colombia.

In addition, Trump has issued economic sanctions against India, Mexico, Turkey, the European Union (with 28 member states) and, of course, China, Russia, Venezuela and Iran. For anyone who understands the way sanctions work, each of these sanctions, by themselves, could rightly be considered as an act of war. Hundreds of thousands (maybe millions) of little children, elderly people, the sick and infirmed, etc., are right now starving to death all over the world as a direct result of Trump’s economic sanctions against their countries. Mr. Trump, have you ever seen a child starve to death?

And, of course, Trump is bypassing Congress to send billions of dollars of sophisticated arms and munitions to the Sunni/Wahhabi terrorist state of Saudi Arabia. Trump is bypassing Congress again to execute wars against Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba and Iran.

It is no hyperbole to say that Donald Trump sees himself as an emperor, not a president. And Trump is not shy about admitting it. In his recent ABC interview with George Stephanopoulos, Trump bellowed, “I run the country.”

It seems that America’s founders went to a lot of trouble for nothing to create a constitutional republic, because, with the help of evangelical Christians and conservative Republicans, Donald Trump is rapidly—and I do mean rapidly—turning America into a monarchy. But in reality, Trump is more of a mafia don than a monarch. And why not? Trump spent his entire business career learning how to skirt the law, truth, decency, honesty and all things upright from the best cons, killers and thugs in the business: Zionist mafia bosses. And Trump is now their star pupil.

I’m really tired of hearing my Christian conservative friends say that Donald Trump means well, but he just listens to bad advice. Humbug! That miserable attempt at apologizing for Trump is really getting old. Donald Trump knows exactly what he is doing. He is doing what he fully intended to do from day one. He is doing what he was trained all of his life to do.

Donald Trump is the consummate Zionist stooge. He has bewitched Christians and conservatives with his phony religious rhetoric and overt pandering to Israel. Of course, Christians were already poised and ready for a deceiver like Trump to come along. Ever since the end of World War II, America’s evangelical churches have dispensed the devilish and diabolical doctrines of dispensational futurism, which turned them into willing vassals of all things Israel.

Trump’s most influential and trusted staff members have all been Zionist warmongers. I’m talking about Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, National Security Advisor John Bolton (CFR), former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan (CFR), Special Envoy (translate: war planner) to Venezuela Elliott Abrams (CFR), former Deputy National Security Advisor K.T. McFarland (CFR), Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin (CFR), Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross (Bilderberg), CIA Director Gina Haspel, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, Senior Advisor to the President Jared Kushner (Bilderberg), Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, et al.

As an aside, Shanahan caught everyone off guard when he announced last Tuesday that he was leaving the Pentagon. The timing of his departure is most curious. Why would a defense secretary leave his post just as Donald Trump is on the verge of launching at least two wars? There is something significant behind this move. But don’t worry, folks, Trump is replacing Shanahan with another CFR Zionist warmonger, now former secretary of the Army, Mark Esper. But I digress.

Jon Basil Utley writes:

America’s penchant for starting wars [is] very often based upon lies or false premises. False flag operations mean having an attack blamed upon another nation which actually was not the culprit. Syria’s questionable fault for gassing of innocent civilians was used by Washington to bomb its Air Force. Now Secretary of State Pompeo has set us up by publicly stating that any attack on any American soldier in Iraq or Syria would cause America to attack Iran. He’s put every soldier at risk of death by some Israeli or Saudi fanatic.

Both Secretary of State Pompeo and Vice President Pence are profound end times Evangelicals [translate: Israel-based dispensational futurists]. In 2017 I wrote, Iraq, Syria, Iran…Are We To Destroy Iran Next? about the original neo-conservative program to re-mold the Middle East. A main new concern is Trump’s Secretary of State’s strong evangelical beliefs in the end times. The NY Times describes his beliefs [in] The Rapture and the Real World: Pompeo Blends Belief and Policy. The belief is that a stronger and greater Israel will bring about Armageddon sooner and their rapture straight to heaven.

Destroying Iran’s being a threat to Israel is thus seen as helping God’s intentions.

The FT also links to a Guardian article quoting Pompeo, “Pompeo told a church congregation in Wichita three years ago. “It is a never-ending struggle?.?.?.?until the rapture. Be a part of it. Be in the fight.” Pompeo’s actions as a “Christian Zionist” are described in a New Republic article The Christianization of US Foreign Policy.

I know what they were trying to say, but the New Republic article titled The Christianization of US Foreign Policy is badly misnamed. What it should be called is The Judaization of US Foreign Policy, because, for the most part, evangelical Christianity in the U.S. has been completely co-opted by Zionist-Judaism (which is not Judaism at all, but a political/racial supremacist ideology that uses war to force its will upon any country that opposes it).

Philip Giraldi sums up the war doctrine of Mike Pence’s Christian Zionism perfectly:

On May 25th Vice President Mike Pence was the featured speaker at the United States Military Academy commencement. His speech was predictably an encomium celebrating both the diversity and the success of the newly commissioned officers as well as of the system at West Point that had produced them, but it also included interesting insights into how he and the other non-veterans who dominate the policy making in the White House see the military.

Most media commentary on the speech was either shocked or pleasantly surprised by Pence’s prediction that the graduating officers would soon be at war. He said, “It is a virtual certainty that you will fight on a battlefield for America at some point in your life. You will lead soldiers in combat. It will happen. Some of you will join the fight against radical Islamic terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq. Some of you will join the fight on the Korean Peninsula and in the Indo-Pacific, where North Korea continues to threaten the peace, and an increasingly militarized China challenges our presence in the region. Some of you will join the fight in Europe, where an aggressive Russia seeks to redraw international boundaries by force. And some of you may even be called upon to serve in this hemisphere.”

Pence’s choice of words is revealing. There is a “virtual certainty” of “fight[ing] on a battlefield for America” and that battlefield is global, including both transnational Islamic terrorism and the western hemisphere. The language implies that American security requires “full spectrum dominance” everywhere. It encompasses traditional national enemies, with a Pyongyang that “threatens peace,” a China that is “militarized,” and a Russia that is both “aggressive” and expansionistic. The soldiers must be prepared to fight “when not if that day comes.”

First of all, it is discouraging to note that Pence believes that a war or wars must take place, and further, one must have to wonder exactly what scenarios are envisioned by Pence, and also presumably by his boss and colleagues, regarding precisely how war against other nuclear powers will play out. Nor does he entertain what would happen when the rest of the world begins to perceive the United States as its enemy due to its willingness to interfere in everyone’s politics. And the American soldiers would die not knowing what they were fighting for, since they would understand from the onset that it had nothing to do with the defense of the United States.

The speech is, in short, a recognition that the Trump Administration sees perpetual war on the horizon, a viewpoint that is particularly alarming as one can quite easily make the case that the United States is not seriously threatened at all by anyone on Pence’s enemies list and is therefore the aggressor. China is a regional power, Russia does not have the resources or will to reestablish the Soviet Union, and North Korea has only limited capability to attack anyone, even if it should choose to do so. Islamic terrorism is largely a creation of the United States in the first place and maintains its potency by the adverse impact of the continued US presence in Muslim lands. And the suggestion that Venezuela and/or Cuba might be a threat to America is, quite frankly, laughable.

If Mike Pence is seriously interested in looking around to see who has been most interested in starting new wars, he should look to gentlemen named Bush and Obama, not to mention his own colleagues John Bolton and Mike Pompeo. And then there are Washington’s feckless allies Israel and Saudi Arabia, who are keen to advance their own interests by means of piles of dead American soldiers.

As I said, trade a Democrat for a Republican; trade a liberal for a conservative: It doesn’t matter. The War Party remains in charge either way.

Here’s one more example: The only current presidential candidate of either party that is truly anti-war is Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. Tulsi is a four-term congresswoman and a combat veteran of the Iraq War. Again, Philip Giraldi has the story:

In a recent interview with Fox News’s Tucker Carlson, Gabbard doubled down on her anti-war credentials, telling the host that war with Iran would be “devastating,” adding that “I know where this path leads us and I’m concerned because the American people don’t seem to be prepared for how devastating and costly such a war would be… So, what we are facing is, essentially, a war that has no frontlines, total chaos, engulfs the whole region, is not contained within Iran or Iraq but would extend to Syria and Lebanon and Israel across the region, setting us up in a situation where, in Iraq, we lost over 4,000 of my brothers and sisters in uniform. A war with Iran would take far more American lives, it would cost more civilian lives across the region… Not to speak of the fact that this would cost trillions of taxpayer dollars coming out of our pockets to go and pay for this endless war that begs the question as a soldier, what are we fighting for? What does victory look like? What is the mission?”

Due to her strong anti-war convictions, Gabbard is being savagely attacked by her own Democrat Party and is being all but totally censored by the mainstream media.

As I have said over and over: There is only one party in Washington, D.C., and it’s the War Party. And they are at it again.

False Flags, Wars And Butchered Babies: A Neocon Paradise

by Chuck Baldwin
Published: Thursday, April 25, 2019

That Donald Trump’s administration is dominated and controlled by neocons is an absolute fact. CFR globalists, warmongering Zionists and neocon fossils from the G.W. Bush administrations litter Trump’s government. As for Trump, he is the guy assigned the job of pulling the wool over the eyes of gullible Christians and conservatives with a continuous barrage of insincere, duplicitous conservative rhetoric, while the real work of carrying out the nefarious, nasty agenda of establishment elites continues unabated.

First, there can be no doubt that the alleged sabotage attacks on four oil cargo vessels anchored near the port of Fujairah was a false flag to blame Iran and justify Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to attack Iran. Both of these Zionists (along with Bolton, Pompeo, Pence, Graham, Shanahan, et al.) are salivating over war with Iran. And if this faux attack doesn’t do the trick, watch for an even bigger one to follow.

Joel Skousen accurately summarized this false flag event:

Two of the tankers were from Saudi Arabia and were listed as loading oil destined for America to make sure the US could link the attack to “US interests.” The trouble is, reports of the attacks lacked any photographic evidence of the damage or the type of explosives used in the sabotage that could be independently verified, nor was there any evidence linking the alleged attack to Iran other than vague US and Saudi Arabia reports fingering Iran, the long-term enemy of the US Deep State in the Persian Gulf. Next came an alleged drone attack by Yemen against a Saudi Oil pipeline pumping station, which was also blamed on Iran, being the main supplier of military arms to Yemen. But it is the Saudis that are the aggressors in Yemen. They began attacking Yemen after Yemenese rebels overthrew the former US-backed regime that was aiding US-Saudi backed terrorism in Syria. One would expect Yemen to justifiably strike back at Saudi Arabia for its constant attacks for the past two years, so why blame Iran instead of Yemen itself? –To justify this war with Iran.

The Saudis are now claiming that mines were placed on the ship’s hulls below the water line. In a claimed “credible military assessment” the Saudis have concluded that Iran attached explosives to the outsides of 4 oil tankers and blew holes in the hulls. But, strangely, the ships did not explode, did not catch fire, did not sink, and did not lean over. And, even more suspicious, there are no pictures of the damage.

Media reports were all over the map claiming all kinds of fires and damage to ships, but the Fujairah Port administration finally had to deny them.

The neocon/Zionist agenda of more wars for Israel (and the oil companies) is on the way, folks. Not to mention that Trump is attempting to follow G.W. Bush’s example on how to win re-election—BY GOING TO WAR. Make no mistake about it; Donald Trump’s administration is a carbon copy of G.W. Bush’s presidency—except Trump’s White House is a Bush White House ON STEROIDS.

Second, President Trump has finally sounded off on something specific regarding America’s abortion laws, and guess what? He sided with pro-abortionists by OPPOSING the recent Alabama pro-life law that outlaws virtually all abortions (with the sole exception of the life of the mother—which really isn’t an exception, because saving the life of a mother by removing an ectopic pregnancy has never been considered abortion, including prior to the Roe v Wade and Doe v Bolton Supreme Court decisions) and assigns prison terms of up to 99 years for abortion “doctors.”

As with the rest of Trump’s “conservative” rhetoric, his “pro-life” rhetoric is just that: rhetoric. When the rubber meets the road, Trump is ALL TALK. Oh, he cut $50 million from Planned Parenthood (PP). Big deal! That’s only 10% of the federal budget for America’s largest abortion provider. Under Trump, PP is still receiving $450 million of annual taxpayer funding. Trump and the GOP controlled Washington, D.C., for 2 whole years and did absolutely NOTHING to end legal abortions in this country. Coincidentally, G.W. Bush and the GOP completely controlled D.C. for 4.6 years, and they did absolutely NOTHING to end legal abortion, either. My, what a coincidence!

But the State of Alabama passing pro-life legislation that criminalizes abortions in that State (including aborting babies conceived via rape and incest) is a direct challenge to the ignoble Roe v Wade decision legalizing abortion-on-demand and handed this “pro-life” President a golden opportunity to actually do something besides TALK. Now this “pro-life” President had an opportunity to truly support a law that directly challenges Roe—the murderous law Trump has repeatedly said he wants to overturn. So, Trump came out strongly in support of the Alabama law, right? WRONG! As noted, this “strongly pro-life” (Trump’s words) President came out in OPPOSITION to Alabama’s pro-life law, saying it went “too far.” Trump wants to continue butchering babies.

Rebecca Kiessling, a wonderful lady who was conceived in rape, said in response to Trump’s despicable attack on the Alabama pro-life law:

“I did not deserve the death penalty for the crime of my biological father. Ask Rick Perry about his conversation with me and how my story pierced his heart he said and that he could not look me in the eyes and justify the rape exception any longer. I’m sure if you met any one of the 800 of us from Save The 1, you would also have a hard time looking us in the eyes and then telling us that we did not deserve equal protection.”

Julio Severo went on to say,

“Strongly pro-life? Mr. President, if you can kill an innocent baby who has no guilt for being conceived in rape and incest, why not kill all the others for other stupid reasons? God calls you to save victims of oppression, and such babies are such victims!”

Health risk and abortion for babies conceived in rape and incest are the classical pretexts used by the left to legalize abortion for all babies.

Pregnancy of rape or health risks were the main strategies to legalize abortion in the United States, and the result was, according [to] Facts of Life: From 1980 to 2005, there was an annual median number of 1,455,281 abortions. Mother’s life or health cases were just 0.36%. For rape and incest, just 0.09%.

The way I see it: You have no guilt if someone abandons a baby [on] your doorstep. But what are you going to do? Just leave the child at the doorstep? No, you are going to take any necessary measure to secure the well-being of the baby.

A woman raped and impregnated has no guilt, and she is as [much of a] victim and [as] innocent as her baby is. What to do? [T]ake any necessary measure to secure the well-being of the baby and later adopt him or her or make him or her available for adoption. There are thousands of couples who would love to adopt a baby.

As far as abortion is concerned, only rapists deserve capital punishment, not innocent babies.

Well said, Rebecca and Julio.

After being challenged on my Facebook page by a professing Christian, who attempted to justify murdering unborn babies conceived via rape or incest, I wrote:

Please tell Rebecca Kiessling to her face that she should have been murdered. Tell me, did your mother teach you that two wrongs don’t make a right, like my mom taught me? Do you believe that? I guess not, because that is exactly what you are advocating. How is it right to kill the innocent child because of her father’s crime? If a small child’s father commits a heinous crime, do we kill the man’s child? Why would it be wrong to kill an already born child for the crimes of his or her father but right to kill a preborn child for the crimes of his or her father? And if you claim to be a Christian, how can you defend the killing of ANY innocent human being?

Of course, Donald Trump is a Zionist and, as such, is sympathetic to Zionist son-in-law Jared Kushner’s Kabbalist Talmudic belief that an unborn baby is not a human being and, therefore, may be freely disposed of. Over 80% of American Jews are pro-abortion, and, in truth, Jewish Zionists in this country (in and out of Congress) are the ones who are the most aggressive in making sure abortion is legal. And, as I’m sure most of my readers know, Tel Aviv, Israel, is the abortion (and homosexual) capital of the world. Therefore, Trump’s opposition to Alabama’s genuine pro-life law didn’t surprise me one bit.

Now, what I’m really dying to see is how Trump’s pathetic patsy preachers Robert Jeffress and Jerry Falwell Jr. are going to justify Trump on this one. But, I’m sure that these self-serving toadies will find a way to cover for Trump’s wickedness, just as they’ve been doing for over two years now. After all, their fellow Christian Zionist and Trump lackey Pat Robertson already called the Alabama pro-life law “extreme” and said it went “too far.”

These are your great “pro-life” “Christian” leaders, folks. BARF AND DOUBLE BARF!!

Third, my enthusiastic applause is extended to Michigan Republican Congressman Justin Amash. I’ve always liked and respected Justin, but I now admire the heck out of him. He had the guts to actually read the Mueller report and further had the guts to rightly state that Donald Trump committed impeachable offenses.

As you can imagine, the Republican establishment is livid with Amash. GOP insiders have already found someone to challenge Amash in the primary elections next year. And he is being ostracized by the entire Republican Party in D.C. Even the House Liberty Caucus, which was founded by Amash and is chaired by Amash, has turned against him—as has Senator Rand Paul. And in the typical gangster fashion of mafia miscreant Donald Trump, the President said Amash “has been a loser for a long time.” Consider the source and take it as a compliment, Justin.

Of course, Amash is a five-term Michigan congressman who is backed by former 12-term constitutionalist congressman and presidential candidate, Ron Paul. Ron’s brother, David, was an assistant pastor of a Lutheran church in Amash’s district and introduced Justin and Ron. Justin is a second-generation Palestinian Christian. He graduated valedictorian from a private Christian school. He graduated from the University of Michigan magna cum laude with a B.A. in economics and earned his J.D. at the University of Michigan Law School in 2005. Yet, the best accolade that can be given to Amash is to laud his stellar voting record. Amash has a lifetime cumulative score of 94%, according to the most accurate report card of constitutional votes in Congress, The Freedom Index.

This is an aside, but I’ll say it straight out: I believe Donald Trump is God’s curse on America’s Christians for rejecting the candidacy of a true Christian constitutionalist, Ron Paul. Just as God gave Old Testament Israel a corrupt king—King Saul—for that nation’s open rejection of the Prophet Samuel, so, too, God has given America a corrupt President—Donald Trump—for the American Christians’ open rejection of the one man who, more than any other, carried the banner of God’s Natural Law, constitutionalism, liberty and Christian values for the American people: Congressman Ron Paul. Donald Trump is NOT Israel’s King Cyrus; he is America’s King Saul.

False flags precipitating more wars for Israel in the Middle East, continued baby butchering for the financial profits of the abortion industry (not to mention for the illegal youth-enhancing medical treatments using aborted baby parts for the super rich) and the denunciation and attempted political destruction of anyone who dares to challenge the corrupt Zionist Warfare State, which Donald Trump personifies: Yes, the Trump presidency is a neocon paradise.

America’s Wars Are Way Up; Church Attendance Is Way Down

by Chuck Baldwin
Published: Thursday, April 25, 2019

I realize that the vast majority of Christian conservatives will choose to totally ignore this column (just as they do most of my columns), but the stark reality is that under so-called Christian conservative presidents G.W. Bush and Donald J. Trump, America’s wars are way up, while church attendance is way down. And, yes, I absolutely believe there is a direct link between these two trends.

That wars increased exponentially under Bush is not debatable. The ramifications of Bush’s illegal and immoral military invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan are still strongly reverberating around the world to this very day. Much of the ongoing “war on terror” in the Middle East is a direct result of the Bush/Cheney military adventurism (putting it mildly) almost two decades ago. And Trump has escalated America’s missile wars to unprecedented levels.

As I have noted several times in this column:

Trump has dropped more bombs and missiles on Middle Eastern countries in a comparable period of time than any modern U.S. President. Presidents Bush, Obama and now [2017] Trump have dropped nearly 200,000 bombs and missiles on Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. Trump’s rate of bombing eclipses both Bush and Obama; and Trump is on a pace to drop over 100,000 [180,000 to be precise] bombs and missiles on Middle Eastern countries during his first term of office—which would equal the number of bombs and missiles dropped by Obama during his entire eight-year presidency.

Here’s more perspective:

The United States Government, under the Trump administration, reportedly drops a bomb every 12 minutes, which means that 121 bombs are dropped in a day, and 44,096 bombs per year. The Pentagon’s data show that during George W. Bush’s eight years he averaged 24 bombs dropped per day, that is, 8,750 per year. Over the course of Obama’s time in office, his military dropped 34 bombs per day, 12,500 per year. This shows that even though American presidents are all war criminals, Trump is the most vicious of them all.

Yes, Trump is dropping almost FOUR TIMES MORE BOMBS than Barack Obama and over FIVE TIMES MORE BOMBS than G.W. Bush—which included military invasions of two countries.

We also know that Trump expanded America’s wars in Afghanistan and Syria (and, no, he is NOT bringing U.S. troops home from Syria) and is ramping up America’s war machine against Venezuela, Iran, China and Russia. And this does not even take into account the way Trump has given Benjamin Netanyahu’s raunchy racist regime the green light to expand its wars against the Palestinians, Lebanon, Syria and Iran or the U.S./Israeli proxy war (with Saudi Arabia taking the lead) in Yemen.

Then there is Somalia:

In the age of Donald Trump, wasn’t that [the Battle of Mogadishu—Black Hawk Down] a million presidencies ago? Honestly, can you even tell me anymore what in the world it was all about? I couldn’t have, not without looking it up again. A warlord, starvation, U.S. intervention, 18 dead American soldiers (and hundreds of dead Somalis, but that hardly mattered) in a country that was shattering. President Clinton did, however, pull out those troops and end the disastrous mission — and that was that, right? I mean, lessons learned. Somalia? Africa? What in the world did it all have to do with us? So Washington washed its hands of the whole thing.

And now, on a planet of outrageous tweets and murderously angry white men, you probably didn’t even notice, but more than two years into the era of Donald Trump, a quarter-century after that incident, American airstrikes in… yep, Somalia, are precipitously on the rise.

Last year’s 47 strikes, aimed at the leaders and fighters of al-Shabaab, an Islamist terror outfit, more than tripled the ones carried out by the Obama administration in 2016 (themselves a modest increase from previous years). And in 2019, they’re already on pace to double again, while Somali civilians — not that anyone (other than Somali civilians) notices or cares — are dying in significant and rising numbers.

And with 500 troops back on the ground there and Pentagon estimates that they will remain for at least another seven years, the U.S. military is increasingly Somalia-bound, Congress hasn’t uttered a peep on the subject, and few in this country are paying the slightest attention.

So consider this a simple fact of the never-ending Global War on Terror (as it was once called): the U.S. military just can’t get enough of Somalia. And if that isn’t off the charts, what is? Maybe it’s even worth a future book (with a very small print run) called not Black Hawk Down II but U.S. Down Forever and a Day.

And now that I’ve started on the subject (if you still happen to be reading), when it comes to the U.S. military, it’s not faintly just Somalia. It’s all of Africa.

After all, this country’s military uniquely has a continent-wide Africa Command (aka AFRICOM), founded in 2007. As Nick Turse has often written for TomDispatch, that command now has its troops, thousands of them, its planes, and other equipment spread across the continent, north to south, east to west — air bases, drone bases, garrisons, outposts, staging areas, you name it. Meanwhile, AFRICOM’s outgoing commanding general, Thomas Waldhauser, only recently toldCongress why it’s bound to be a forever outfit — because, shades of the Cold War, the Ruskies are coming! (“Russia is also a growing challenge and has taken a more militaristic approach in Africa.”)

And honestly, 600-odd words in, this wasn’t meant to be a piece about either Somalia or Africa. It was meant to be about those U.S. wars being off the charts, about how the Pentagon now feeds eternally at the terror trough, al-Shabaab being only a tiny part of the slop it regularly digests.

And, while America’s wars are way up, according to Gallup, church attendance in America is way down:

As Christian and Jewish Americans prepare to celebrate Easter and Passover, respectively, Gallup finds the percentage of Americans who report belonging to a church, synagogue or mosque at an all-time low, averaging 50% in 2018.

U.S. church membership was 70% or higher from 1937 through 1976, falling modestly to an average of 68% in the 1970s through the 1990s. The past 20 years have seen an acceleration in the drop-off, with a 20-percentage-point decline since 1999 and more than half of that change occurring since the start of the current decade.

Most interesting is this Gallup observation:

Although the United States is one of the more religious countries, particularly among Western nations, it is far less religious than it used to be. Barely three-quarters of Americans now identify with a religion and only about half claim membership in a church, synagogue or mosque.

The rate of U.S. church membership has declined sharply in the past two decades after being relatively stable in the six decades before that. A sharp increase in the proportion of the population with no religious affiliation, a decline in church membership among those who do have a religious preference, and low levels of church membership among millennials are all contributing to the accelerating trend.

Obviously, America’s Jewish and Muslim populations pale compared to its Christian population. The vast decline of attendance to religious services, therefore, primarily means church attendance. Notice, also, that this steep decline commenced at the beginning of this century (2000)—when G.W. Bush became President of the United States.

I tried to warn readers—and listeners to my nationwide radio talk show—that due to his insatiable war fever, G.W. Bush was going to forever warp the perception in people’s minds of Christianity. And, sadly, I was absolutely right. After eight years of the warmongering G.W. Bush in the White House, millions of Americans came to associate Christianity with wars of aggression. As a result, the exodus out of America’s churches began in earnest.

Enter Donald Trump.

As noted above, Trump has expanded Bush’s war fever exponentially. But Trump has done more than that: He has aggressively put the United States smack dab in the middle of Israel’s wars. It could even be argued that Donald Trump has turned the U.S. military into a proxy army for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

Don’t get me wrong: I am very cognizant of the fact that G.W. Bush’s “war on terror” was nothing more than a proxy war for Israel. But the Israeli connection was covert and completely covered up. Not anymore. Donald Trump is unabashedly and explicitly partnering the mission of the U.S. military with that of the IDF. No wonder Benjamin Netanyahu promises to name a community in the Israel-seized, Israel-occupied Golan Heights after Donald Trump. (Trumplinka would fit Netanyahu’s concentration-style occupation nicely.)

So, not only are millions of Americans now associating Christianity with G.W. Bush’s wars of aggression, they are associating Christianity with Donald Trump’s wars of aggression for the racist apartheid State of Israel. The result: the steepest decline in church attendance and church affiliation in U.S. history.

The longer evangelical Christians continue to support Donald Trump’s radical pro-Israel, pro-war agenda, the deeper America will plunge into an anti-Christian country.

The good news is that all over America, people are waking up to the Israel deception. Support for the erroneous doctrine of dispensational eschatology is in a giant free fall; the myth of Zionist Israel being a resurrected Old Testament Israel is being repeatedly exposed; the attempts by Israel’s toadies to characterize people whose eyes are open to the truth of Zionism as being “anti-Semitic” is losing more and more credibility by the day; and more and more people are becoming aware of the utter wickedness of the Zionist government in Israel. Plus, more and more people are beginning to understand the plight of the persecuted people (including Christian people) in the Israeli-occupied territories of Palestine.

Ron, maybe your shipmates on the USS LIBERTY didn’t die in vain after all.

From an historical perspective, overextended wars are the downfall of any empire; from a financial perspective, warfarism is the precursor to an economically depressed middle class; and from a Scriptural/spiritual perspective, God cannot and will not bless a warmongering nation.

Let’s be clear: God is not building a “Greater Israel.” God is not building a third Jewish temple. God is not speaking through phony prophets who are attributing some sort of divine calling to Trump’s pro-Israel warmongering. God is not blessing America because we are blessing Zionist Israel. Just the opposite: The more America aligns itself with Israel’s belligerence, bullying and bombing of innocent people, the more God will deliver us over to becoming an antichrist country. After all, one cannot idolize and partner with antichrists without becoming one himself.

After Trump finishes this term in office, two-thirds of this young century will have seen a “Christian” warmonger in the White House. It is no coincidence that during this same period of time, wars are way up and church attendance is way down.

P.S. I urge readers to watch this short eight-minute video clip of my Palm Sunday message. In this clip, I illustrate the blasphemy of Jewish Zionists by playing a video clip from an interview with conservative darling Ben Shapiro. I also make the observation that the foundation of the faith and fellowship of Christian Zionists is NOT Jesus Christ, but Israel. Please watch this brief video and share it with your friends.

Chuck Baldwin: How To Identify The People Who Truly Do NOT Get It

Published: Thursday, October 25, 2018

After many, many years in the “patriot” movement, it is y studied opinion that most of the so-called patriots who claim to “get it” really don’t. Ditto for most of the “patriot” radio talk show hosts, columnists and Internet bloggers. The reality is that there are very few people who seem to truly understand the big picture and who possess the sagacity to discern the real war that is raging around us—which helps to explain, of course, why nothing much ever changes.

What follows are three of the tell-tale signs that people truly do NOT get it.

1. They believe that the Deep State is mostly confined to the Democrat Party and people such as George Soros.

In essence, these folks are totally immersed in the Republican-Democrat, left-right, conservative-liberal false paradigm. Soros has helped finance both Democrats and Republicans (including Donald Trump). And while so-called conservative Republicans use George Soros as a poster child of the enemy, they RUN to Las Vegas to meet with Sheldon Adelson in hopes of procuring his financial and political blessings. And, frankly, between the two, Adelson is a hundred times more dangerous to our liberties than Soros. Yet, “conservatives” love Adelson and despise Soros.

These people truly do NOT get it.

By definition, the Deep State is not conspicuous. It is hidden deeply out of sight where it can work unobserved and unfettered. Furthermore, the Deep State moves comfortably and seamlessly among both the Democrat and Republican parties. The Deep State will use conservatives as effectively as liberals and vice versa. It uses Democrats to attack our 2nd Amendment liberties and Republicans to attack our 4th Amendment liberties. No matter which party is in control of the Congress or the White House, the Deep State agenda presses on almost unimpeded—and, yes, that includes having Donald Trump in the White House.

People such as George Soros are merely headliners to give “patriots” a visible target to shoot at, while the real power brokers infiltrate many of the very organizations that are openly opposing people such as Soros.

Understand this: All of the bitterness and political hate speech going on between liberals and conservatives, between Democrats and Republicans, is nothing but public theater. Some of the rancor and bitterness is indeed genuine, of course, while some of it is as phony as a three dollar bill. But ALL of it only serves to provide cover for the real power brokers who are manipulating the left and the right for their own purposes.

Deep State moguls couldn’t care less about all of the arguing and bickering going on between the two parties, except as it provides them with an effective distraction from the things they really care about, knowing that at the end of the day, both parties will continue to further their agenda.

People who are caught up in the phony left-right paradigm truly do NOT get it.

2. They believe that Islamists are our enemies and Zionists are our friends.

On this subject, the vast majority of evangelical Christians are proving themselves to be absolute dupes. Think this through:

On the one hand, “Christians” and “conservatives” spend countless hours, expend limitless energy and spend millions of dollars demonizing Muslims. The threat of Muslims justifies the “War on Terror.” The threat of Muslims justifies a burgeoning Police State. The threat of Muslims is promoted in fundraising letters, periodicals, books, radio broadcasts, TV shows, etc., by practically every “conservative” political and religious organization in the country.

Part of Donald Trump’s popularity among “conservatives” and “Christians” is the manner in which he invokes fear of and hatred toward Muslims. Ditto for the vast majority of Christian pastors and television evangelists. They all promote the mass killing of Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Lebanon, Somalia, Pakistan, etc.

But on the other hand, they all happily endorse sending billions of dollars in arms and munitions to the Muslims in Saudi Arabia. Muslims in Iran are said to be our enemies, but Muslims in Saudi Arabia are our “allies.” REALLY? What kind of hallucinogenic are they ingesting?

The truth is, the most violent, bloodthirsty people in the Muslim world today are the Wahhabi Muslims in Saudi Arabia. Wahhabis are the ones who were used to form terror groups such as ISIS, al-Nusra, etc. Wahhabis are the ones who are murdering thousands of innocent men, women and children in Yemen and throughout the Middle East and Northern Africa. Wahhabis are the ones who round up and torture, maim, dismember, imprison and murder Christians, Jews AND non-Wahhabi Muslims within Saudi Arabia. If you believe the official story of 9/11, it was Wahhabi Muslims from Saudi Arabia that flew those jets into the Twin Towers.

Yet, America sends billions of dollars in weapons to the Wahhabi Muslims in Saudi Arabia—and “conservatives” and “Christians” are all for it. A few days ago, TV evangelist Pat Robertson used his vast Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) to defend America’s friendship and partnership with the Wahhabi Muslims in Saudi Arabia.

Why must Americans hate and bomb and kill Shia Muslims in Iran and Syria, while at the same time, we must befriend, partner with, and finance Wahhabi Muslims in Saudi Arabia—and even look the other way as they inflict the cruelest and most evil acts of barbarity and bloodshed?

In typical bloodthirsty fashion, Wahhabi Muslims murdered a permanent U.S. resident, Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi (who was openly critical of the Saudi regime), and what did President Trump do? He boldly proclaimed Wahhabi Muslim Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s denial of any culpability in Khashoggi’s murder to be “credible.” Trump further said he has no plans to interfere with the $110 billion arms deal with Salman.

It is a total coincidence, of course, that at the very moment Trump was providing cover for the Wahhabi government of Saudi Arabia, Prince Salman was transferring over $100 million to Trump’s government in the United States. I’m sure it is also a coincidence that Donald Trump owes his financial survival to the Wahhabi Muslims in Saudi Arabia who bailed Trump out of at least two financial bankruptcies—as did the Zionists in Israel.

As an aside, Donald Trump seems to have a penchant to cover up or even defend violence. During a recent Montana rally, Trump praised Republican Congressman Greg Gianforte, saying “he’s my guy.”

What made Gianforte Trump’s guy? He physically attacked London Guardian newspaper reporter Ben Jacobs and body-slammed him to the floor in a violent, unprovoked attack. So much for Trump and Gianforte’s devotion to the First Amendment and the unalienable right to life. Gianforte is a large man who could have very easily broken the reporter’s back or neck in the unprovoked attack—an attack that he initially denied until it was discovered that the whole thing was captured on audio.(Listen to the audio and hear how the reporter was calmly asking Gianforte a question and how Gianforte exploded into a rage and body slammed the reporter without warning.) Fortunately, the reporter’s injuries were not severe. The congressman then pleaded guilty to the assault and was given a slap on the wrist.

I submit that what Saudi Prince Salman did to U.S. resident journalist Khashoggi (attack and kill him) and what Congressman Greg Gianforte did to London Guardian newspaper reporter Ben Jacobs (attack and body slam him) was only a difference of degree. Both journalists were attacked (because a member of the power elite didn’t like what they were reporting): One was injured; the other was killed. But it was the same evil, hate-filled heart that committed both crimes. And Donald Trump fully supports both of these vicious attackers. (Oh! Did I mention that Gianforte is very rich? He is.) But I digress.

Where is the fear mongering and hate mongering toward the Wahhabi Muslims of Saudi Arabia from America’s “conservatives” and “Christians?”

Not only do “conservatives” and “Christians” make (non-Wahhabi) Muslims their perpetual scapegoats; they totally and thoroughly embrace Jewish Zionists as their best friends. Never mind that Zionists have done more to destroy America’s historic Christian culture than any group of people on the planet; never mind that Zionists have taken control of the mainstream media (that “conservatives” and “Christians” love to hate); never mind that Zionist money and influence have polluted America’s entertainment industries and political institutions; never mind that the Zionist State of Israel is a bloodthirsty apartheid state; never mind that Zionist Israel is (along with Wahhabi Muslim Saudi Arabia) the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the Middle East. Never mind that Christians have been duped and deceived by C.I. Scofield’s Israel-based prophecy propaganda; never mind that under Christ’s New Covenant, the Zionists of Israel are no more “God’s chosen people” than the Wahhabis of Saudi Arabia. Never mind any of that. To “conservatives” and “Christians” everywhere, Israel is our “friend.”

I’m telling you: People who want to demonize the Muslim states (except Saudi Arabia, of course) and idolize the State of Israel do NOT get it—not in any form or fashion.

I strongly encourage readers to get my 15-message, 7-DVD series The Israel Package. For many years I, too, was caught up in the Israel deception—until I began to honestly and objectively study the issue for myself. These 15 messages contain the truth about the State of Israel. If God could open my eyes to the truth about Israel, He can open the eyes of others—IF they have a truly objective, honest heart and mind, of course. This package of 15 messages and 7 DVDs is discounted significantly in order to help people purchase it. I hope you will order The Israel Package.

3. They believe that Donald Trump is a superhero who is fighting the Deep State.

These people truly do NOT get it.

Again, the Deep State is apolitical. Left and right, conservative and liberal mean nothing to the Deep State. Until the American people wake up to that fact—and wake up to the fact that the primary focus and agenda of the Deep State is PERPETUAL WAR—they will always be in the dark about the Deep State.

For the Deep State, the name of the game is WAR. War advances the goals and enriches the pockets of Deep State moguls more than anything else in the world. “Nation-building,” “regime-change,” “fighting terror,” “exporting democracy,” etc., are the rubrics under which the Deep State wages its perpetual never-ending wars. This is what the Deep State is all about.

To know whether a politician—especially a President—is in the pocket of the Deep State, look no further than the way he or she wages war. And anyone who is even halfway objective and awake can see that Donald Trump has become one of the Deep State’s most effective servants.

I’ll say it straight out: The Deep State doesn’t hate or fear Donald Trump; it loves Donald Trump, because Donald Trump is the warmonger’s warmonger.

Donald Trump is on a pace to drop more bombs and kill more innocent people during his first four years in office than Barack Obama did during eight years in office. In fact, Trump is dropping a bomb somewhere in the world every 12 minutes. This report notes:

We now know that Donald Trump’s administration puts all previous presidents to shame. The Pentagon’s numbers show that during George W. Bush’s eight years he averaged 24 bombs dropped per day, which is 8,750 per year. Over the course of Obama’s time in office, his military dropped 34 bombs per day, 12,500 per year. And in Trump’s first year in office, he averaged 121 bombs dropped per day, for an annual total of 44,096.

If the Deep State loved Obama, it absolutely adores Trump, because Donald Trump is escalating the Warfare State “to infinity and beyond.” Last Tuesday, Vice President Mike Pence even suggested that the Trump administration is considering deploying nuclear weapons into outer space.

This report is spot-on:

The United States’ economy is a military-industrial complex. Therefore any multilateral arms control treaty that limits weapons and war tensions is by definition incompatible with the functioning of American-style capitalism.

President Donald Trump’s announced intention of withdrawing the US from the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty is but the latest move by Washington in undoing decades of hard-won arms controls agreements.

The US unilaterally scrapped the Anti-Ballistic Missiles (ABM) Treaty back in 2002 under then-President GW Bush. That breach of a decades-old treaty has led to the installation of American missile systems in Europe ever-closer to Russian territory, as the US-led NATO military alliance relentlessly expanded eastwards.

By abandoning the INF, the US will have license to expand missile forces towards Russian and Chinese territory. Such an aggressive move could not be done openly for political reasons. Therefore, Washington is finding a pretext for its own violations by accusing Moscow of breaching the INF. Russia has repeatedly rejected US claims that it has violated the treaty, pointing out that the American side has never presented evidence to back up its claims.

The bigger picture [is] the US economy as a war-driven system. With an annual spend of over $700 billion on military – about half the total discretionary US budget and multiples more than any other foreign nation – the American economy is dependent on its military-industrial complex. That monstrous deformation of American capitalism, first warned by President Eisenhower in 1961, can only exist in the realm of relentless weapons production. That, in turn, relies on the US constantly creating global tensions and uncertainty, even to the point of inciting war.

Senator Rand Paul said:

This is why John Bolton shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near US foreign policy. This [pulling out of the INF treaty] would undo decades of bipartisan arms control dating from Reagan. We shouldn’t do it.

Here are Dr. Ron Paul’s sagacious remarks contained in an interview with RT.com:

The US is saturated with weapons and doesn’t need a new nuclear build-up, former congressman Ron Paul has told RT, commenting on President Donald Trump’s threat to quit the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces in Europe (INF) treaty.

The former Republican congressman and head of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity told RT that he doesn’t believe a potential US withdrawal from the 1987 treaty would do anything to enhance US security.

Trump, if he follows through with his threat and tears down the landmark treaty, signed between US President Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, “won’t do us any good,” Paul said.

The US military industrial complex will try to justify the nuclear build-up by pointing to China’s militarization, a growing source of concern for the military establishment.

“It means that the American government, the military industrial complex wants to make a lot more weapons, because it is the Chinese: ‘The Chinese are making all those weapons, why can’t’ we?'”

Paul doesn’t believe that the supposed Chinese menace is a legitimate reason to keep churning out more weapons.

“We have enough weapons, not only to self-destruct but to destroy the world 10 times over and we don’t need to worry about not having enough weapons around.”

If the US pulls out of the treaty, it’s not because there is any need for more weaponry.

“I don’t think that’s a real argument,” Paul said.

Former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury under President Ronald Reagan, Paul Craig Roberts, writes this about Trump’s decision to withdraw from the INF treaty:

It has taken the US military/security complex 31 years to get rid of President Reagan’s last nuclear disarmament achievement—the INF Treaty that President Reagan and Soviet President Gorbachev achieved in 1987.

The Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty was ratified by the US Senate on May 27, 1988 and became effective a few days later on June 1. Behind the scenes, I had some role in this, and as I remember what the treaty achieved was to make Europe safe from nuclear attack by Soviet short and intermediate range missiles, and to make the Soviet Union safe from US attack from short and intermediate range US nuclear missiles in Europe. By restricting nuclear weapons to ICBMs, which allowed some warning time, thus guaranteeing retaliation and non-use of nuclear weapons, the INF Treaty was regarded as reducing the risk of an American first-strike on Russia and a Russian first-strike on Europe, strikes that could be delivered by low-flying cruise missiles with next to zero warning time.

When President Reagan appointed me to a secret Presidential committee with subpoena power over the CIA, he told the members of the secret committee that his aim was to bring the Cold War to an end, with the result that, in his words, “those God-awful nuclear weapons would be dismantled.” President Reagan, unlike the crazed neoconservatives, who he fired and prosecuted, saw no point in nuclear war that would destroy all life on earth. The INF Treaty was the beginning, in Reagan’s mind, of the elimination of nuclear weapons from military arsenals. The INF Treaty was chosen as the first start because it did not substantially threaten the budget of the US military/security complex, and actually increased the security of the Soviet military. In other words, it was something that Reagan and Gorbachev could get past their own military establishments. Reagan hoped that as trust built, more nuclear disarmament would proceed.

Now that President Reagan’s remaining achievement has been destroyed, what are the consequences of the Trump administration’s concession to the profits of the US military/security complex?

There are many, none good.

The massive US military/security complex profits will increase as more increasingly scarce American resources flow into the production of intermediate range missiles in order to counter “the Russian threat.” The Republicans will want to pay for this by cutting Social Security and Medicare.

The Zionist neoconservatives now have their hope rekindled of re-establishing American and Israeli hegemony with an undetected first strike nuclear cruise missile attack on Russia.

The vast majority of the peoples in the world have no idea what is happening. They are trying to find or to keep jobs, to provide housing and food, to find the money for a mortgage or car or credit card payment in the US, and in much of the world water to drink and a bit of food to eat. They are stressed out. They have no energy to confront bad news or to figure out what is happening.

Donald Trump’s war fever is dangerously high. No wonder quintessential war hawk Senator Lindsey Graham suddenly loves Donald Trump. Trump is pushing the war envelope to every part of the globe. Iran, Syria, Pakistan, India, Russia, China and Venezuela are all under threat of imminent military—or even nuclear—attack by Donald Trump. Is Trump a madman, or is he merely the Deep State’s most loyal subject? It really won’t matter when the mushroom clouds start going up.

Anyone who believes that Donald Trump is fighting the Deep State truly does NOT get it.

There are many more tell-tale signs of how to identify people who do NOT get it, of course. But none are more glaring than the three listed in this column. Remember these signs as you listen to your “patriot” friends and our politicians talk, and they will never be able to buffalo you again.

Chuck Baldwin: The Illusions Of Hope

Patrick Henry may have said it best:

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

Henry’s observations of the nature of human nature are as true today as they were on March 23, 1775, when Henry spoke them. It is indeed “natural to indulge in the illusions of hope.” It is equally natural for men to “shut [their] eyes against a painful truth.” And Patrick Henry was not the only one to understand this human frailty—so do con men, charlatans, crooks and conspirators.

Dishonest, deceptive, duplicitous scoundrels know that most people are trusting by nature. They know that most people prefer comfort and are not quick to forsake it. Scoundrels know that people need hope, and the scoundrels are all too eager to give them hope—or at least the illusions of it. They also know that people such as Patrick Henry are an aberration of humanity: most are NOT willing “to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.” They know that most people “shut [their] eyes against a painful truth,” that “having eyes, [they] see not, and, having ears, [they] hear not.”

Pernicious predatory politicians constantly prey on this natural weakness of man. They tell people what they want to hear; they play to their wants and fears; and they cast themselves as the hero for which people yearn. And even though secularists seem to have no comprehension of it, many of these pretenders are assisted by a supernatural ability to bewitch (Galatians 3:1) trusting and unsuspecting souls. It is my studied opinion that Donald Trump is such a man.

Trump has given hope to those who were drowning in hopelessness. He has convinced them that he is their political savior. He plays to their wants and fears. He tells them what they want to hear. And he does it so masterfully, so perfectly, that he has brought millions of people (including Christians) under his spell.

Before being elected, Trump said, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters.” And he wasn’t making that up. He knew he had mesmerized them.

For two years now, it hasn’t mattered to a tinker’s dam what Trump does or doesn’t do. He has given people the “illusions of hope,” and they dare not let go. Their hope is in Trump. This is more than support or appreciation—or even love; this is worship. The “always Trump” crowd literally worships Donald Trump. From a spiritual perspective, they have been bewitched. They are hypnotized. They are in a trance. And they dare not allow themselves to be awakened, for if they were, they would have “to know the worst, and to provide for it.” This they are not willing to do.

For this reason they allow themselves to believe the pathetic propaganda of QAnon; they mindlessly believe the outlandish lie that there are 55,000 sealed indictments against members of the Deep State (and to these people, the definition of Deep State is anyone who does not agree with Donald Trump). I have even heard them speak in rapturous euphoria about Trump secretly colluding with military personnel to implement martial law, rounding up all of the bad guys (again, the people who oppose Trump) and taking them at gunpoint before military tribunals. (Can you imagine what these same people would have said had Obama’s supporters said this?) In fact, many of these Trump toadies have written me to say that when this Trump/military coup begins, I am on the list to be taken away. I am telling you, folks, all of this is VERY REAL to these people. Again, these people are bewitched; they are victims of seducing spirits (I Timothy 4:1) that are empowering Donald Trump. And, as Patrick Henry said, many are being transformed into “beasts.” Cheering for the rise of an American version of Germany’s Brown Shirts or GESTAPO and the positive anticipation of a nation under martial law are truly BEASTLY concepts that come from BEASTLY hearts.

But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption. (II Peter 2:12)

Nevertheless man being in honour [having wealth and power] abideth not: he is like the beasts [in murderous brutality] that perish. (Psalms 49:12)

Not to mention that any kind of martial law, complete with roundups and military tribunals, totally destroys the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights and fractures the very foundation of a free American republic.

But it is pointless to discuss the Constitution with these people. It is pointless to discuss the way Trump has filled his administration with neocons, CFR and Bilderberg globalists or the way he panders to Zionist Israel or his lack of any action against abortion and even taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood or the way he increases deficit spending comparable to that of any Democrat or the way he continues to escalate the phony “War on Terror.” These people are absolutely deaf to these things. They are deaf to truth, deaf to constitutional government, and they are blind to the evidence that stares them in the face every day.

I’m telling you, Donald Trump is not the enemy of the Deep State; he is a servant of the Deep State. The same elitists that controlled Trump’s predecessors control Trump. For those who have the courage to watch, here is a sample of what I’m talking about. Watch this video, and you will see Trump reading from the same script (almost word for word) that Barack Obama read from when he announced his missile attacks against Syria. Watch it, and then tell me how Donald Trump is not controlled by the same neocon warmongers that have been taking this country to unjust foreign wars ever since the presidency of G.W. Bush.

Trump’s maniacal sanctions against Iran are an incitement to war and are dooming the American economy to suffer the pangs of severe inflation. Experts are already predicting $100 per barrel oil prices. And when oil prices inflate, ALL prices inflate. Plus, Trump’s Deep State operatives are destabilizing Venezuela, and Trump is threatening to send the U.S. military into that oil-rich country. Venezuela is one of the world’s largest oil producers and has the world’s second largest natural gas reserves. What a coincidence that most of the nations that neocons target in their perpetual war schemes are rich in oil. And tell me again what threat Venezuela poses to the United States.

Then we hear Trump’s toady Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke put forth the threat that America could and might put a naval blockade around Russia in order to curtail its exports. Can you imagine?

My friends, it will be an absolute miracle if America is not in a global war, complete with crippling inflation and a collapsed economy, before the end of Trump’s term in office. And if it doesn’t happen, it won’t be because Trump didn’t do his best to make it happen.

Plus, everyone is praising Trump for fixing the economy, but top economists are warning that what we are seeing is merely another bubble, and when it bursts it will make the recession in 2008 and 2009 look mild by comparison.

And as I pointed out in this column last week, President Trump and the Republicans in Congress just passed a massive $854 billion spending bill that continues to fund virtually all of the left’s radical social agendas, including fully funding Planned Parenthood and fetal tissue research.

And as the federal government just concluded its 2018 fiscal year, we read this report:

The federal debt increased by $1,271,158,167,126.72 in fiscal 2018, according to data released today by the Treasury.

The total federal debt started the fiscal year at $20,244,900,016,053.51 according to the Treasury, and finished the fiscal year at $21,516,058,183,180.23.

The federal fiscal year runs from October 1 through September 30.

So, the GOP controls both houses of Congress and the White House (with Donald Trump as President), and not only can they NOT defund Planned Parenthood and fetal tissue research, they cannot defund the left’s radical social agendas or keep from increasing the federal deficit by over ONE TRILLION DOLLARS.

In addition, Donald Trump and the GOP leadership are up to their eyeballs in facilitating the neocon/globalist/Zionist perpetual war agenda even to the point of protecting U.S. “allies” who are engaged in the most despicable forms of child sex slavery in the process. Here is the report:

“Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) last week tried to block billions in U.S. taxpayer funds from going to the Afghan military and police forces unless its units stopped sexually abusing young boys, but he was opposed by Senate Foreign Relations Committee leaders.

During a committee business meeting last Wednesday considering the reauthorization of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000, Paul proposed an amendment to withhold all U.S. funding for all Afghan security forces unless the U.S. government’s watchdog in Afghanistan could verify those forces were not using children as child soldiers or sex slaves.

The U.S. is slated to provide Afghan security forces — military and police — with $4.92 billion in 2019 for equipment, training, supplies, services, infrastructure repair and other funding.

Paul told other members, according to a transcript of the business meeting first obtained by Breitbart News: “I think that the committee is right to be gravely concerned with sexual trafficking and abuse of young people around the world in a variety of countries. I think we shouldn’t turn a blind eye towards when our allies are responsible for this, as well.”

Specifically, Paul referred to the common Afghan practice of “bacha bazi” — or using boys as young as 10 years old for sex. Some U.S. troops who have deployed to Afghanistan have tried to stop instances of sexual abuse when they have come across it, but have been punished for doing so, according to reports.

However, Chairman Bob Corker (R-TN) and Ranking Member Bob Menendez (D-NJ) backed a counter-amendment to require the Departments of Defense and State to report on implementation of recommendations made by SIGAR on ending the practice [which means nothing will be done and the practice will continue].

Paul’s amendment failed, while Corker’s passed.

Tell me again how Donald Trump and the Republican Party are so “conservative.”

Let me put this in perspective for you: Republicans have held the House of Representatives (that means the federal purse strings) for 20 of the last 24 years. The GOP has controlled the Senate for 11 of the last 19 congresses. In addition, the GOP has controlled the Supreme Court since before 1973 when Roe v Wade was decided. And going back to the election of 1968, Republicans have held 8 of 13 presidential administrations. But they need ONE MORE ELECTION to get something done. BALDERDASH! Donald Trump and the GOP are playing Christians and conservatives like a fiddle.

Before the American people can begin the process of restoring their constitutional republic, they MUST be willing to stop indulging in the illusions of hope and stop shutting their eyes to painful truth. And, like Patrick Henry, they must be willing to know the whole truth, to know the worst, and to provide for it.

Christians and conservatives think that all they have to do is vote for a Republican president and then spend the next four years blindly supporting him—no matter how unconstitutional, immoral or wrong he is—and all will be well with America. Oh! And, of course, they must get out and work like crazy for Republicans in the midterms, because, after all, as Trump said, “When you vote for Republicans in November, you are voting for ME.”

But we Americans are supposed to be voting for the Constitution when we vote. This is not about liberals or conservatives, Democrats or Republicans or left vs. right. And it is certainly not about building a government around one man: Donald Trump. This is supposed to be about electing men and women regardless of race, religion or party affiliation who will “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of The United States.”

Donald Trump has turned not only the entire country but the entire world into a “you are either with ME or against ME” equation. And too many conservatives and Christians are absolutely blinded and bewitched by this man.

The tendency to “indulge in the illusions of hope” and to “shut [one’s] eyes against a painful truth” may indeed be natural. But, ladies and gentlemen, blind bewitching worship of a political leader is not only the result of supernatural seducing spirits, it is downright dangerous to any nation’s future.

We witnessed shades of this blind robotic fawning over a President during the administrations of Ronald Reagan and G.W. Bush (and the left fawned over Obama just as blindly), but nothing to this degree. This is surreal. And it seems to get worse by the hour.

I am thankful for the few times that Donald Trump has demonstrated fidelity to the Constitution. And I am not criticizing anyone who voted for Donald Trump over his opponent in 2016. But what I am trying to warn against is the way conservatives—and especially evangelical Christians—have practically turned Trump into an idol and are ascribing all kinds of praises and platitudes to him that are so out of proportion to the truth that it convinces me that these folks have given heed to seducing spirits and have set themselves up for a bigger fall than they could possibly imagine.

P.S. Not long ago, I brought a message on the subject of hope. Tragically, many Christians SAY they are trusting God, but in reality they have placed their hope and trust in politicians (especially Donald Trump) and political parties (especially the Republican Party). This is a recipe for disaster.

My message is entitled Looking For Hope In All The Wrong Places. I wish somehow that America’s Christians and pastors could come to grips with the truths of this message.

I fear that when America’s evangelicals wake up to the reality that Donald Trump has deceived them, their disappointment will be so great, the damage could be fatal to our country. Oh! If only Christians could awaken from the trance they are in and clearly see the hope that is found in the principles and truths of God’s Natural and Revealed laws, it could doubtless restore a Biblical perspective of our proper duties and responsibilities—and maybe revive constitutional liberties in the process.

I urge readers to get this message DVD: Looking For Hope In All The Wrong Places.

Plus, during the month of October, when you order Looking For Hope In All The Wrong Places, I will also send you my DVD message entitled My Election Counsel. In this message, I review the six Biblical requirements for civil magistrates and the ONE American requirement for civil magistrates. If voters—especially Christian voters—would take heed to these seven requirements and would vote accordingly, our freedoms and liberties would never be at risk and hardly ever would we be at war.

Again, I am sending you both messages:

*Looking For Hope In All The Wrong Places

*My Election Counsel

Order here (and maybe order one for a friend before they go vote on November 6):
