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.

CDC Admits To Remarkably Low Coronavirus Death Rate And The Beirut Explosion Exposed

By Chuck Baldwin
August 13, 2020

The ever-fearmongering CDC has been forced to admit that the true figures regarding deaths from coronavirus are extremely LOW. Of course, the mainstream media and most politicians (from both parties) will ignore this reality, but that doesn’t change the truth of it one iota.

Most people are more likely to wind up six feet under because of almost anything else under the sun other than COVID-19.

The CDC just came out with a report that should be earth-shattering to the narrative of the political class, yet it will go into the thick pile of vital data and information about the virus that is not getting out to the public. For the first time, the CDC has attempted to offer a real estimate of the overall death rate for COVID-19, and under its most likely scenario, the number is 0.26%. Officials estimate a 0.4% fatality rate among those who are symptomatic and project a 35% rate of asymptomatic cases among those infected, which drops the overall infection fatality rate (IFR) to just 0.26% — almost exactly where Stanford researchers pegged it a month ago.

Until now, we have been ridiculed for thinking the death rate was that low, as opposed to the 3.4% estimate of the World Health Organization, which helped drive the panic and the lockdowns. Now the CDC is agreeing to the lower rate in plain ink.

Plus, ultimately we might find out that the IFR is even lower because numerous studies and hard counts of confined populations have shown a much higher percentage of asymptomatic cases. Simply adjusting for a 50% asymptomatic rate would drop their fatality rate to 0.2% – exactly the rate of fatality Dr. John Ionnidis of Stanford University projected.

More importantly, as I mentioned before, the overall death rate is meaningless because the numbers are so lopsided. Given that at least half of the deaths were in nursing homes, a back-of-the-envelope estimate would show that the infection fatality rate for non-nursing home residents would only be 0.1% or 1 in 1,000. And that includes people of all ages and all health statuses outside of nursing homes. Since nearly all of the deaths are those with comorbidities.

The CDC estimates the death rate from COVID-19 for those under 50 is 1 in 5,000 for those with symptoms, which would be 1 in 6,725 overall, but again, almost all those who die have specific comorbidities or underlying conditions. Those without them are more likely to die in a car accident. And schoolchildren, whose lives, mental health, and education we are destroying, are more likely to get struck by lightning.

And slowly but surely, medical professionals are beginning to awaken to the gross hyperbole (and even deception) of the mainstream narrative regarding corona. At this point, I would suggest that any medical professional who isn’t willing to acknowledge the hyperbolic nature of the corona narrative is doing so out of the blatant fear and intimidation that is being waged against them by the medical establishment—a medical establishment that is being bribed with millions and even billions of dollars from the federal government to go along with this charade.

A 30-year registered nurse I know, whose credentials include an RN, BSN and ACN, said this:

I have been a registered nurse for 30 years, the majority of which has been spent in the community health setting. All of my jobs during that time involved infection control, whether that was part of orientation and general practice or more often a vital part of my responsibilities as a manager. Quite frequently, I had the responsibilities of writing policies and procedures regarding infection control and also was responsible for training and oversight of infection control. I also have continuing education for my RN licenses and many of that also involve infection control.

None of what is currently occurring today (particularly relating to the wearing of masks) in any way squares with either my training, education or practice, and I have worked in a wide variety of settings from labor and delivery to home health to corrections and everywhere in between.

For my entire career, the wearing of masks was clearly understood to be to stop the possibility of gross contamination of a sterile field and to prevent the splashing of patient bodily fluids on the face of the medical personnel. When I was fitted (fitted – as in specifically conformed to my face) with an N95 mask, it was again clearly understood that this was to help prevent the gross contamination of tuberculosis, which is not caused by a virus. If our faces or the mask itself were altered in any way (loss/gain of weight, mask crushed, etc.), we understood we would have to be RE-fitted in order for the mask to work properly.

Besides the fact that the COVID-19 testing is completely flawed, the case and death rates grossly distorted, it is clear that if the fear-mongering that is being propagandized everywhere a person turns were actually correct, we never would have survived as a species. Even a scintilla of critical thinking easily shows how ridiculous current “recommendations” and practice truly are.

Never before in history have healthy people been so demonized and campaigned against. It is unprecedented and for good reason, because it is completely erroneous.

Regarding the massive explosion in Beirut, Lebanon, once again, things are not as they appear.

Israel has officially denied any involvement in the Beirut port blast. The Israelis also deny their frequent bombing attacks in Syria and any connection to the sabotage explosions and fires in Iran since the beginning of the year.

But a retaliation from Iran is just what Israel and the US Deep State have been waiting for so they can finally justify a war against Iran and impose a regime change like in Iraq. It appears that the Israel reign of terror and sabotage is now aimed at overthrowing the Hezbollah-controlled government of Lebanon.

The Israeli government is ruthless. Not only does it kill enemy leaders in Lebanon, but threatens to destroy Lebanese civilian infrastructure if Hezbollah dares to retaliate—just as they did in years past. How does destroying power plants, water supplies, roads and bridges help bring peace? It doesn’t, and it is strictly meant to antagonize the Lebanese public and turn them against Hezbollah.

As for the establishment “terror” label being attached to Hezbollah, it is true that Hezbollah is responsible for terrorist attacks in the past, but in the most recent decade the roles have reversed. The US Deep State and Israel have been creating and supplying terrorists to invade Syria and Iran, putting Iran and Lebanon in the forefront fighting Deep State backed terror in the Middle East.

The fires and small white flashes of either munitions or fireworks going off couldn’t have caused the ammonium nitrate to explode at all, let alone cause a nuclear-like blast wave. Scientific American explains what it takes to make an explosive bomb out of ammonium nitrate:

Ammonium nitrate does not burn on its own. Instead, it acts as a source of oxygen that can accelerate the combustion (burning) of other materials.

It’s relatively difficult for a fire to trigger an ammonium nitrate explosion. The fire would need to be sustained and confined within the same area as the ammonium nitrate prills.

Also, the prills themselves are not fuel for the fire, so they would need to be contaminated with, or packaged in, some other combustible material.

This is the second time this exact same weapon has been used, and the first was an attack on Syria in January of this year by Israel.

The only kind of warhead that is small enough to fit on a tactical missile to create this kind of shock wave is a small tactical nuke —which only the US and Israel have in the West.

I think this was a low yield tactical nuke with reduced radiation. I’m surprised no one reliable is taking radiation readings in Beirut. Apparently, everyone believes the propaganda about the nitrate explosion.

Since this has the same explosive pattern as the Israel attack on Syria 7 months earlier, I’m convinced that Israel and the Deep State are behind this—trying to destabilize the Lebanese government.

I think Israel not only knew about the fertilizer being there, their saboteurs must have started the fire before the strike to give a semi plausible reason for the huge explosion.

I think we are seeing a new kind of mini nuclear weapon here.

These educated but rigid thinking professors are basing everything on large nukes, the only ones we have pictures of. I think this could be a new kind of tactical nuke which has been under development and deployed secretly during the last few years. Well, they’ve seen one now [a nuclear bomb], even if they are in denial about what they are seeing.

I urge readers to watch my message from last Sunday in which I expose both the corona and Beirut explosion deceptions.

Plus, here is one of my interviews on Beirut television.

The architects of tyranny are working overtime right now. And they are smart, subtle, sinister and deadly serious. Great discernment and courage are required of us if we are going to overcome their evil machinations. Seeing through the corona façade and Israel deception will go a long way in helping us.

P.S. For the very first time, I am able to announce that we have reprinted the classic treatise of one of America’s most important (and least remembered) Founding Fathers, James Otis. The book is entitled The Rights Of The British Colonies Asserted And Proved.

From my Introduction to the book:

James Otis (1725 – 1783) is regarded as one of the most brilliant of America’s Founding Fathers. Considered the top jurist in Boston (and the role model for John Adams), Otis is probably more responsible for the sacred American doctrines enshrined in the Fourth Amendment of our Bill of Rights than any other single founder.

When Otis petitioned the court in 1761 in protest of Britain’s issuance of general warrants and writs of assistance, John Adams, who was present in the courtroom when Otis spoke, said this was “the spark in which originated the American Revolution.”

James Otis is also widely regarded as one of America’s two “firebrands” of the revolution, the other being Samuel Adams.

Otis’ writings and “pamphlets” were as instrumental to the cause of American independence as those of his friend, Thomas Paine.

This treatise comes from the mind of a scholar and the heart of a patriot. His explanation of the necessity of Natural Law to the cause of Liberty and Good Government is unequaled among Colonial writers.

In particular, this treatise was an impassioned appeal against taxation without representation.

This is one of Otis’ finest works. Read this work, and step into the mind of a genius—and one of America’s most important (and least remembered) Founding Fathers.

John Adams said this about James Otis: “I have been young and now I am old, and I solemnly say I have never known a man whose love of country was more ardent or sincere, never one who suffered so much, never one whose service for any 10 years of his life were so important and essential to the cause of his country as those of Mr. Otis from 1760 to 1770.”

Independence Now And Independence Forever

By Chuck Baldwin
July 2, 2020

This Saturday, July 4, America celebrates the 244th anniversary of the adoption of our Declaration of Independence.

On July 4, 1837, John Quincy Adams said these words about Independence Day:

Why is it that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day [Independence 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?

Notice that Adams said that our Declaration of Independence exhibits four major accomplishments:

1. It formed a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation.

2. It first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer’s mission upon earth.

3. It laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity.

4. It was the first irrevocable pledge of the fulfillment of the prophecies announced directly from Heaven at the birth of the Savior.

Adams was exactly right. The United States of America is the only nation in human history established by (mostly) Christian people upon 2,000 years of Christian thought—including being formed as a direct result of the Protestant Reformation—and God’s Natural Law principles and dedicated to the purpose of religious and personal liberty and equal justice under the law.

Not long ago, I was interviewed for another documentary movie (I’m featured in 14 full-length documentary films). The producer asked me to iterate the basic principles upon which America was founded. Based on my study of the Declaration, Constitution, Bill of Rights and the copious supplemental writings of the Founding Fathers, here, I believe, are the principles upon which America was founded:

1. That man is created equal under God, and as such, human life is a sacred gift of God.

2. That the Natural rights of the individual are inalienable and superior to the will of the state.

3. That government exists to protect the Natural rights and liberties of man, not to provide man with public benefits and favors.

4. That a man is innocent until proven guilty, that he has the Natural right to a trial by jury and the right to a defense attorney.

5. That people have a Natural right to choose their own form of government.

6. That individuals have a Natural right and duty to bear arms for their own protection.

7. That the power and reach of the central government needs to be limited, being held in check by independent sovereign states and a well regulated and fully equipped militia.

8. That religious liberty is the core of America’s freedoms.

9. That the people have a Natural right and duty to alter or abolish any government that has become tyrannical.

10. That America would always be a constitutional republic.

11. That only sound money would be used as legal tender so as to keep the federal government from amassing excessive debt.

12. That America would always promote and protect a free market economy with limited governmental interference.

13. That a man’s home is his castle and his personal property can never be seized except by arduous due process.

(I’m in the process of reproducing the work of one of America’s most important—and least remembered—Founding Fathers: James Otis. This new book will also include a brief biography of this great man. Perhaps more than any other founder, James Otis was responsible for America’s respect for the sacred principles enshrined in our Fourth Amendment. Watch for this new book here.)

14. That a free society depends upon the acceptance and application of God’s Natural Laws relating to the pursuit of happiness and peace, upon governmental adherence to the Law of Nations and upon upholding our Creator’s foundational moral code relating to human behavior.

15. That liberty depends upon the unfettered exercise of the Christian religion, including strong, uninhibited preaching from America’s pulpits.

The Declaration begins:

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

The Declaration ends:

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Here are a few statements from America’s founders after the Declaration was approved by Congress:

John Hancock said, “There! His Majesty can now read my name without spectacles. And he can double the reward on my head.” (The Crown had put a reward of 500 pounds sterling on Hancock’s head. That amounts to over $100,000 in today’s money.)

George Washington said, “The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the republican model of Government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.”

Thomas Paine said, “Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.”

Stephen Hopkins, a signer of the Declaration from Rhode Island, said as he signed the document, “My hand trembles, but my heart does not.”

Indeed, Hopkins (and the rest of the signers) had reason to tremble. Of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence, nine died of wounds or hardships during the war. Five were captured, imprisoned and tortured. Several lost wives, children or entire families. Two wives were brutalized and tortured. All were, at one time or another, the victims of manhunts and driven from their homes by British soldiers. Twelve signers had their homes completely burned. Seventeen lost everything they owned.

Carter Braxton, a wealthy planter and merchant, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts and died in rags.

Thomas McKean was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family constantly. He served in Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were seized by the British, and he died in poverty.

At the Battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr. noted that British General Cornwallis was using his home for his headquarters. Out of respect to Nelson, General Washington refused to fire on the dwelling. Nelson privately urged Washington to open fire on his home, saying it was no longer his home but was now the headquarters of the enemy. The home was subsequently destroyed. Nelson died bankrupt.

Frances Lewis had his home and properties destroyed by the British. They jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.

John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year, he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and all of his 13 children vanished. He never saw them again.

The two patriots most responsible for the Declaration of Independence, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, both died on the same day: July 4, 1826—the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration. Daniel Webster gave the eulogy for both men on August 2 of that year. He concluded his remarks with these words:

“It [the Declaration of Independence] is my living sentiment, and by the blessing of God, it shall be my dying sentiment. Independence now and independence forever.”

Amen! This should be the living and dying sentiment of every American:

Independence now and independence forever.

P.S. This is the FINAL NOTICE that we are currently distributing the most important liberty documents in U.S. history. This giant volume is called THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS.

Want to honor Independence Day? Buy your family and friends a copy of THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS. Help teach them what Independence Day is truly all about—from the words of the men and women who were there. It is no hyperbole to say that without a familiarity with these great documents of American liberty and independence, one cannot truly understand and appreciate what Independence Day really means to us Americans.

This giant book is an excellent resource for high school and college students—as well as homeschoolers. Teachers, professors, physicians, engineers, business owners, attorneys, judges and pastors have purchased THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS with extreme satisfaction.

The Tennessee State Supreme Court ordered several copies of THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS not long ago. Plus, a county sheriff in Montana recently ordered copies for each of his deputies. I believe you will be just as pleased as they are with this wonderful compilation of American documents.

You can have these great documents at your fingertips in one beautifully bound, easy-to-read format. These are the documents that gave birth to the greatest free nation on earth. To teach your children and grandchildren the truth about Independence Day, give them a copy of THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS.

Again, nowhere else can you find these documents complete in one volume under one title. And this is the FINAL NOTICE for this printing. Our supply will be gone in a few days.

Order THE FREEDOM DOCUMENTS now.

Plus, we have been informed by the publisher that so many people have responded to our offer of the Matthew Henry Study Bible that we have exhausted the available stock.

Therefore, this notice is to inform readers that we now have fewer than 100 copies of the Matthew Henry Study Bible left, and when these are gone, there will be no more available until a new batch can be printed—probably around November.

I’m offering this study Bible, because it is the one comprehensive study Bible that does not promote Christian Zionism. Beyond that, the Matthew Henry commentaries on the Bible (written from 1708 – 1710) are yet today the gold standard of Bible commentaries.

If you want a copy of this magnificent study Bible, order NOW, as these remaining copies will not last long.
