Christian Complacency Caused the Current Crisis

One of the clearest signs that liberals have lost their minds is their propaganda talking point that “Christian nationalists” and “theocratic fascists” are preparing to take over America. While it’s true that a rather benign version of Christian nationalism is gaining steam in some parts of the country – which I applaud and think isn’t going far enough or fast enough – the fearmongering is nevertheless delusional and void of hard evidence. The real truth is what Tim Pool recently said when addressing this very allegation. He correctly observed:

“I’m sorry, conservatives, Christians, y’all are pushovers. That’s just the reality . . . Christians are so tolerant, they let evil people into their institutions. Oh, I’m so afraid. Now, we’re desperately trying to push the evil out. And, I got to tell you, it’s only after . . . the far left goes insane that moderate left-leaning individuals joining the ranks of the right resulted in some active pushback. Oh, by all means, you had some Christian conservatives pushing back, being angry about it, but not being particularly effective. And now that post-liberals – people who . . . used to be in these protests – are joining the right because the left is nuts, now the right is gaining ground. What I mean to say is, Christians are too good of people. I mean it. I mean it. The Christian sees the wayward soul who says, ‘Please, please, I just need help,’ and what does the Christian do? They promote this lie that Christians are angry and bigoted and mean. No! The Christians opened up their doors to these people, tolerated them, they say, ‘Let’s be nice to them. Yes, please, we don’t want to fight. We want to be good neighbors.’ And they allowed degeneracy into their ranks, infecting their institutions. And this country that was once predominately Christian is now, Christianity is on the decline. In some ways it is coming back, don’t get me wrong. My point is these are not wartime Christians. They are peace-loving, good-neighbor Christians who try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. And look what this has resulted in. With all of that being said, the far left is acting like these Christians who are trying to be good neighbors much to their detriment are the fascists. Now, I know, many Christians may take offense to this, but guys, I’m sorry, it’s true! Christians saw these bad people move in and thought, ‘We’ll just be nice, and maybe we can save them. I will knock on their door and ask them if they understand.’ And what do you get? Jack Posobiec goes out, Antifa gets in his face and screams at him. He’s not even saying anything to anybody. He goes to D.C. and the far left is tearing down statues and firebombing things. And the Christians for too long tolerated this. Now they’re starting to realize what’s going on.”

Pool is right. Christian complacency caused the current crisis. We have been so “tolerant” that we have allowed evil to overrun our country. We were silent for so long that we became complicit in the wickedness. We stared into the abyss for so many years that the abyss finally stared into us, and too many of us have joined with it.

Undeniably, America was founded as a Christian nation. Our colonial laws were based openly and heavily upon the Bible and God’s law. The Mayflower Compact’s statement of faith and John Winthrop’s “city on a hill” speech set the tone for colonial life. The First Great Awakening nurtured the men who later led the American Revolution. Pastors and clergymen were the biggest voices for revolt, such as Rev. Jonas Clark at Lexington, justifying armed rebellion by appealing to God’s law and Protestant tradition such as the doctrine of lesser magistrates. Throughout the Revolution, our leaders called for days of fasting and prayer and petitioned God for assistance. One famous flag even bore the motto, “An Appeal to Heaven.”

Furthermore, formal U.S. law acknowledges God. The Declaration of Independence a references God four times, declaring that our rights come from Him, and appealing to Him for divine support. The so-called “secular” Constitution refers to the “year of our Lord” and precluded the transaction of business on Sunday, the Christian Sabbath. State constitutions – the Constitution of Massachusetts being perhaps the most poignant example – and subsequent laws for generations continued to reference the Bible and divine law. Blasphemy was tried by the Supreme Court. Homosexuality was punishable by everything from castration, to asset forfeiture, to even death in four states. Every public event invoked God. President George Washington routinely spoke of religion and morality, stating in his Farewell Address:

“Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”

The evidence for the Christian foundation of America, U.S. law, and our cultural long-established cultural institutions goes on and on and on.

For anyone denying the distinct Christian nature of America’s founding and history, please acquaint yourself with the facts. You don’t have to like the reality, but you must acknowledge it if you are honest. You can begin acquainting yourself with true American history by reading William Federer’s books The Ten Commandments & their Influence on American Law and The Original 13, David Barton’s Original Intent, Thomas Kidd’s God of Liberty, Mark David Hall’s Did America Have a Christian Founding?, Rod Gragg’s By the Hand of Providence, Timothy Ballard’s American Covenant, W. Cleon Skousen The Majesty of God’s Law, and Daniel Stackhouse, Jr.’s Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God: The Role of Christianity in the American Revolution. If additional texts are desired, please write to me.

All of this history which should be a source of pride is a source of condemnation to the present and past generations of American Christians. From our noble and blessed beginnings, we have sunk into the morass of immorality, tolerated the institutionalization of perversion, presided over the degradation of our youth through the broken public school system, accepted unconstitutional and oppressive laws which violate our rights, sanctioned the destruction of the Republic with our misguided and cowardly votes, and winked at tyranny.

Again, I say, that Tim Pool is correct that Christian complacency caused the current crisis. It is not a badge of honor to be so “peace-loving” that you tolerate evil and the destruction of your Faith, Family, and Freedom. That is cowardice and wicked. God hates tyranny, evil, and spews out of His mouth those too timid to fight for what’s right.

Among those who “shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone” are “the fearful”; that is to say, the cowards (Revelation 21:8). We must take a stand either for good or evil; neutrality is sinful. “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth” (Revelation 3:15-16). It is simply unChristian to sit on the sidelines, to permit evil, to tolerate wickedness, to refuse to fight for the right, or to remain silent in the face of Satanic oppression.

Christians, sadly, are the biggest reason why America is failing. They may think that the perverse and deluded are the ones who are destroying America, and they are correct. But who is more perverse and deluded than the Christian majority which denies their own faith and our country’s Chrisitan founding, accepts immorality, declines to Lord’s will for them to come out of Babylon, proclaims “peace” when the war has already begun, and refuses to right for their rights when war to the death is already being waged against them and their families?

I respect sincere liberals who, as deluded as they are and as dangerous as their philosophy is, believe they are doing what’s right and are living according to their beliefs more than I respect my fellow Christians who compromise their high standards, tolerate corruption, and don’t follow their religion. Christians who actually use their religion to justify attacks on our nation, our national morality, and our inspired Constitution, are the biggest traitors of them all. The simple truth is that tyranny would be impossible in America if the Christian majority did not sanction it with their compliance and soul-destroying submission.

The outspoken anti-communist and Christian leader Ezra Taft Benson once lamented Christian complacency and the erosion of morality in his devotional talk to Christians aptly titled “Americans are Destroying America.” Listen to his words; take them to heart. He proclaimed:

“If American freedom is lost, if America is destroyed, if our blood-bought freedom is surrendered, it will be because of Americans. What’s more, it will probably not be only the work of subversive and criminal Americans. The Benedict Arnolds will not be the only ones to forfeit our freedom. . . .

“If America is destroyed, it may be by Americans who salute the flag, sing the national anthem, march in patriotic parades, cheer Fourth of July speakers–normally good Americans, but Americans who fail to comprehend what is required to keep our country strong and free – Americans who have been lulled away into a false security.

“Great nations are never conquered from outside unless they are rotten inside. Our greatest national problem today is erosion, not the erosion of the soil, but erosion of the national morality – erosion of traditional enforcement of law and order.

“Theodore Roosevelt said:

““The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, and love of soft living and the get-rich-quick theory of life.” (Quoted in The Red Carpet, [by Benson] p. 315.)

“In this blessed land we have exalted security, comfort, and ease above freedom. If we dwelled at length on the many things that are disturbing in the life of America today, we might well become discouraged. I mention only a few of the reported startling evidences of our national illness, our moral erosion.

“There is a decline of U.S. morals and moral fiber, a turning to pleasure and away from hard work and high standards of the past. . . .

“Those of us conscious of the seriousness of the situation must act, and act now. It has been said that it takes something spectacular to get folks excited, like a burning house. Nobody notices one that is simply decaying. But in America today we not only have decaying but burning before our very eyes. . . .

“Our priceless heritage is threatened today as never before in our lifetime: from without by the forces of Godless Communism, and at home by our complacency and by the insidious forces of the Socialist-Communist conspiracy, with the help of those who would abandon the ancient landmarks set by our fathers and take us down the road to destruction. . . .

“As American citizens who love freedom, we must return to a respect for national morality – respect for law and order. There is no other way of safety for us and our posterity. The hour is late; the time is short. We must begin now, in earnest, and invite God’s blessings on our efforts.

“The United States should be a bastion of real freedom. We should not support the world’s greatest evil, the Godless, Socialist-Communist conspiracy that seeks to destroy all we hold dear as a great Christian nation and to promote insidiously the breakdown of law and order and the erosion of our morality.

“With God’s help we must return to those basic concepts, those eternal verities, the rule of law and order upon which this nation was established. With an aroused citizenry and the help of Almighty God it can be accomplished. God grant it may be so, I humbly pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.”

Again, I say, that our complacency has been our downfall. Our declining morals have brought about the evils that best us today. Our tacit support of communism and other despotic dogmas has allowed the fox into the henhouse. Our sincere repentance and fervent effort to eradicate evil from our midst, with God’s help, can bring us the victory. However, I believe the hour is so late, and we have permitted out chains to grow so heavy, that we will not extricate ourselves – even with God’s help – from our bondage without bloodshed.

This is the point that Tim Pool, Alex Jones, Glenn Beck, and most other conservative commentators fail to understand. They cry “peace!” when in fact the war has already begun. They urge restraint and calm while the water pours into our rapidly sinking ship. Yes, they encourage action and vitality, but they promote half-measures that won’t free us. In the runup to the American Revolution, the more radical – and, as history would prove, correct – faction of American patriots pushed Independence, which would have guaranteed war. Among these who pushed for Independence and armed resistance were Samuel Adams, James Otis, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, the Sons of Liberty, and a host of pastors and local leaders whose names most Americans would not recognize. The faction crying “peace!” prevailed, however, and one petition after another after another was sent to Parliament for a redress of grievances, only to be ignored or rejected each time.

It was as if when Little Red Riding Hood climbed into bed with the wolf knowing full well it wasn’t her grandmother that she later complained about being eaten! It was as if the ancient story of the scorpion and the frog wasn’t known! Likewise, today, it is as if Donald Trump has not been reading “The Snake” to audiences for years and years. If you have not yet heard it, listen to him read it here. The final line, when the woman is bitten by the snake, contains the moral: “You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.”

A lesson from our history should be burned into our brains; namely, that olive branch petitions don’t work. Pleading with tyrants – men so evil they will trample our God-given rights – is futile. Yes, we should continue to vote and engage in activism; but what good is a vote, ultimately, when elections are stolen, vote tallies are manipulated, and corrupt courts refuse to look at the mountain of evidence proving fraud? Something more is needed.

We all know what that “something more is,” but few have the integrity to proclaim it. That “something more” is revolution. What does “revolution” mean? It does not mean rushing into the streets and gunning people down. It does not mean grabbing your buddies and shooting it out with local police. It does not mean, at this stage, carrying out guerrilla warfare. However, history is again illustrative.

When threatened with tyranny by their government, the Founding Fathers met together, started Committees of Correspondence, developed a network to communicate and relay messages, held meetings and rallies, formed and trained with local militias, called the Continental Congress, sent petitions, chose leaders, created a de facto government, formed and fielded the Continental Army, and, finally, long after the fighting started, declared Independence.

This must happen now. We need our own national Committees of Correspondence. We need to call a new Continental Congress. We need to form militias and train them. We need to appoint leaders and generals. We need our own Continental Army structure. And we need a formal declaration or series of educational written documents to galvanize the public. All of this sounds extreme to people, but if we don’t do it now, it won’t happen later. Among preparedness enthusiasts, there is a saying that preparing ten years too early is better than one day too late. That is because after a crisis it won’t be possible to prepare and organize properly.

When the next American civil war or revolution begins – and it will happen as surely as the sun will rise tomorrow – it will be too chaotic to start finding the best and brightest, to begin deliberating, to begin devising strategies for restoring the Republic, to be able to present a stable alternative to the People (i.e. the U.S. Constitution in its pure and original form), to field an acceptable military with a working structure, and to present a unified front and standard to which Americans can rally. That must happen now, today, immediately. It is vain to think we can fight back with arms, when the time comes, which it will, if we have not properly and thoroughly formed our resistance movement like our Founding Fathers did in the two years leading to Independence.

Lexington and Concord 2.0 may occur at any time, but how will patriots respond? Do we have a unified structure? Do we have leaders who will galvanize anger and outrage and point it in the right direction? The closest thing we have on a national scale is Donald Trump and the treasonous Republican Party. And Trump is on the verge of potentially spending a year in an orange jumpsuit. We need a legitimate structure, not a cult of personality. We need a network, not a private political party. We need our own Continental Congress, call it whatever we will. We need our own Committees of Correspondence with full-time patriots manning their posts.

Lexington and Concord would not have happened in 1775 had it not been for the network of spies and correspondents who gathered intel on the British soldiers and rode through the night to inform our patriot leaders of the advancing enemy, and had it not been for Rev. Jonas Clark and Captain Parker of Lexington who called out their militia as they had drilled to do previously. The preparations for the Shot Heard ‘Round the World were made in advance. It would have been laughably too late to begin preparing on the eve of April 19, 1775. Where are our preparations today? We are fools to think we don’t need them.

Christians and conservatives are generally reticent to make the necessary “extreme” preparations because they don’t believe it can happen here. They don’t want to think that we are so far enslaved or that America is on the verge of collapse. They believe in the ballot box. They think Donald Trump will save them. He won’t. No election can save us. The sham conviction of Donald Trump should convince every patriot that our system is rigged, that justice is sporadic at best, that the courts and the government and our intelligence agencies can’t be trusted, and that our government today is the same enemy – only far worse and more dangerous – that our forefathers fought in 1776.

In March of 1775, however, most Americans were also complacent and did not want to believe their government was evil. They did not want to take up arms or gather together for their own protection. They did far more than we are doing to redress their grievances and unite as communities, yet the prominent voices, like today, called for “peace” and wanted to trust the political process despite how ineffective and, yes, rigged it was. When Patrick Henry rose in Virginia on March 23, 1775 and demanded Liberty or death, many thought he was insane, a radical, a volatile extremist who should shut up with his violent rhetoric. Yet, history proved him correct. Here is the conclusion of his momentous address, with the substitution of the name New York for Boston, and the words “federal agent” for “British guard.” Apply his words to our present situation:

“In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free– if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending–if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained–we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!

“They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a [federal agent] shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of [New York]! The war is inevitable–and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.

“It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace– but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

Can you feel the power and truth of his words? They resonate in my soul. In my heart, I know that it is vain to indulge the delusional hope of peace. Our chains are already forged! The tyrants are beating their war drums. They are assaulting us on all fronts, shutting off the economy, stripping us of natural resources, murdering millions with poisoned vaccine bio-weapons, rigging elections, jailing opposition leaders for their thoughts and dissent, criminalizing free speech as “hate speech,” classifying patriots as “domestic terrorists,” corrupting our children in government schools, opening the border to millions of illegal invaders, confiscating property, bleeding us dry through taxes, debt, and inflation, and threatening to pack the Supreme Court, do away with the Electoral College, and eventually overthrow the entire Constitution. If we fail to fight now when the tyranny is so blatant and the stakes are so high – or if we fail to at least organize and prepare with haste for the fight – our fate will be submission and slavery.

There is no alternative; our option is victory or death. President Calvin Coolidge put it this way:

“The issues of the world must be met and met squarely. The forces of evil do not disdain preparation, they are always prepared and always preparing . . . The welfare of America, the cause of civilization will forever require the contribution of some part of the life of all our citizens to the natural, the necessary, and the inevitable demand for the defense of the right and the truth. There is no substitute for a militant freedom. The only alternative is submission and slavery” (Calvin Coolidge, The Price of Freedom: Speeches and Addresses, 159).

We are fools to not prepare to fight. We will damn ourselves both temporally and spiritually if we are found to be cowards who won’t lift a finger to stop the bleeding. We must fight! It’s time to fight for our Faith, Families, and Freedom! Only a militant Freedom can conquer a militant tyranny. Yes, this path will require blood, for the tree of Liberty always requires the blood of patriots and tyrants, but the alternative is the most bitter slavery and the loss of not only our beloved nation, but our honor.

I implore you, fellow citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to rise and become engaged. Read the Constitution. Educate yourself on the principles of sound government and of Liberty. Read American history – true history. Get close to God and trust Him, knowing that He only helps those who bless themselves and that He loves sincere effort and despise lukewarm complacency. Reject complacency and apathy. Reject Babylon. Reject tyranny. Be the true Americans I know you can be – Americans who are bold, fearless, upright, fierce in defense of natural rights, and subservient to no one but Almighty God.

Bastardization of Justice

“Anyone who defends this verdict is a danger to you and your family.” – Tucker Carlson

Yesterday, America witnessed what is perhaps the most egregious bastardization of “justice” in our nation’s history. Love Donald Trump or hate him, if you are an honest individual, you must admit that his “hush money” court case and the insane verdict was a total sham and a disgrace. It was a show trial worthy of the Soviet Union. It was nothing but vicious political persecution against the most popular man in America – a man who is the rightful President of the United States but who does not hold the office because of blatant fraud that every decent person admits was perpetrated upon our nation to steal their voice and install an inept and compromised puppet to lord over us and advance the destruction of this beautiful Republic.

For those who have not done their duty to pay attention to what is happening, Donald Trump was found “guilty” yesterday on 34 bogus counts by a biased New York jury of registered Democrats following authoritarian orders to find him guilty by a partisan judge of the blackest corruption. The fact is that the prosecution could not identify which law President Trump supposedly violated. In the state, there is a two-year statute of limitations on the crime they claim he committed, and which they say he committed seven years ago.

If Trump did in fact commit the crime they claim, he is nevertheless unable to be prosecuted for it because it is so far past the statute of limitations. Ergo, where was the crime? How was this case legitimately brought to trial? Answer: It wasn’t legitimately brought to trial; it was illicitly, illegally, and illegitimately brought to trial by a black Democrat district attorney – Alvin Bragg – who is on record gnashing his teeth about wanting Trump gone from politics. It was political persecution at its worst.

This horrendous “case” was then tried by a radically partisan judge whose behavior is neurotic, tyrannical, and constitutes judicial malpractice. His family receives money from Trump’s political enemies and he has operated like a despot during the case, flying off the handle any time Trump’s team did anything he didn’t like, denying witnesses the opportunity to give testimony in Trump’s defense, and commanding the braindead and partisan New York jury to find Trump guilty, thus destroying the sacred right of jury trial and committing judicial malpractice.

The number of things wrong with this case is extraordinary and nigh unprecedented. Besides the fact that the statute of limitations had expired and there was therefore no legal justification to bring this case to trial, the 34 counts themselves are propaganda and lies. The “crime” is singular, yet they listed it as 34 counts for shock value. Supposedly, Trump paid $130,000 to a porn star to keep her quiet about an affair (despite that fact that Trump openly wrote about having affairs in the past). However, the $130,000 was split into 11 payments. That is where 11 of the 34 counts came from. Then, Michael Cohen, who said he paid the money, filed 11 invoices – adding 11 more “counts” to the charges, bringing the number to 22. 12 entries were then made in a financial ledger regarding these payments, bringing the number of bogus counts up from 22 to 34. Is anyone stupid enough to fall for this sleight of hand? If so, please deport yourself immediately and rid our nation of your malign presence.

Trump’s charges were initially misdemeanors before the politically-charged prosecutors/persecutors decided to raise them to felony status. Coincidentally, I’m sure, the Secret Service protocols were upgraded to state that the organization could not provide protection to felons. If sentenced to prison, Trump will face going to prison without Secret Service protection. What rational person wouldn’t find this suspicious?

Let’s talk briefly about Michael Cohen, the central man in this drama. Cohen admitted that he stole money from the Trump camp. He admitted he made the payments of his own volition without instructions to do so. He lied under oath and in the public eye. This is the star witness for the prosecution? Cohen should be the one going to jail for theft and perjury.

Ladies and gentlemen, this entire case was a massive sham. I was critical of Trump for submitting himself to such extralegal madness. It was a huge mistake. He should have refused to attend or take any part in this illegal debacle. Did he think he would get a fair trail in New York? No, he didn’t; yet he still submitted himself to the Inquisition, perhaps believing that the absurdity of the case was so enormous that even 12 indoctrinated New Yorkers would acquit him. He was wrong, and now he potentially faces prison.

The big question now is what Trump’s sentence will be. Will he be given a slap on the wrist, probation, or prison time? No doubt the Luciferian political Establishment wants Trump to go away permanently. If they attempt to imprison him, Trump should refuse and stay as far away from New York as possible. No one is required to submit to injustice and tyranny. The real kicker is that, at present, the date set for his sentencing is four days ahead of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee this July. Could the Republicans, who also hate Trump, decide to remove him from their ticket at the last moment – after all, he’s a convicted “felon”?

Regardless of what happens with the sentencing, I don’t believe this is the last dirty trick the Satanic cabal that rules us will pull. I have been expounding for four years my theory that the 2024 election will be suspended as a result of a real or false-flag attack that will likely remove the mumbling, bumbling, braindead puppet Biden from office and usher in a continuity of government scheme. Perhaps the old “Council of Governors” program approved under Bonesman George W. Bush will be invoked, which suspends Congress for one year and allows the president to rule as a dictator along with his “Council of Governors,” or, in other words, one governor from each of the ten FEMA regions.

Whatever path they take, the demonic Establishment won’t allow Trump to become president again. I believe a contrived crisis is the likely outcome – especially if Donald Trump does not go to prison or if the Supreme Court intervenes and overturns yesterday’s bogus verdict. If, however, Trump goes to jail, the Elite might forestall such a dramatic solution, believing that they have finally conquered their opponent. In either case, prepare for chaos.

Dear reader, I believe the time for sitting on our hands is past. There are those, like Alex Jones, who immediately came out after the verdict to say that violence is not the solution. He is correct that individual and random acts of violence won’t help; but collective action is required – revolution is required. Jones was asked on his show what our Founding Fathers would do in this moment and he openly said he didn’t know. I will tell you what our Founding Fathers would do – they would have rebelled against the tyrannical regime and its crushing despotism many decades ago!

Alex Jones reminds me of John Dickinson, the most prominent of the Founding Fathers who opposed Independence and who wanted to continuously give olive branches to the Crown and Parliament in spite of their continued oppression. Yes, Dickinson decried the evil and the tyranny, but he continued to oppose “violence” and revolution. He was on the wrong side of history. Men like Samuel Adams, James Otis, Patrick Henry, and Thomas Jefferson were right in advocating rebellion and armed resistance years before the Battle of Lexington and Concord when the first revolutionary shots were fired. Even after the first shots were fired, men like Dickinson still advocated “peace.” But as Patrick Henry declared to the pacifists and undecided of his generation, and which he might with equal justification say to us today:

“In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free– if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending–if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained–we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!

“They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a [federal] guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of [New York]! The war is inevitable–and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.

“It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace– but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” (Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775)

History will record that the men who at this late stage of depravity and despotism cried “peace!” and urged us not to exercise our God-given right to rebel against tyranny and fight for our Freedom were on the wrong side and hampered efforts to revive our Republic. To such people, I say, damn your memory, and may the country not show the same cowardice you exemplify! In saying this, I am not saying anything new. Samuel Adams, the man called the “Father of the Revolution,” and the first man in America to clearly and forcefully advocate Independence and rebellion to the government, proclaimed the same sentiments on August 1, 1776:

“Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say ‘what should be the reward of such sacrifices?’ Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, supplicate the friendship and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom – go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!”

This, right now, the present moment, is the animating context of Freedom! Now is the time for us to rise against the corrupt and despotic criminal clique that has usurped the government, seized control of the judiciary, runs Congress, dominates the media, holds an iron grip on the economy, and treats everyday patriotic Americans as terrorists. If we begin preparing too late, we will fail when the moment arrives for physical action; that is to say, if we don’t start now, it will be too late for us to organize and coordinate later.

How much more motivation do American men need to fire them up? Think of the treachery that abounds. How many political prisoners are being held in the D.C. GULAG from the January 6 fake “insurrection”? How many elections have been stolen? How many innocent Americans have been made homeless, lost their jobs, suffered injuries, or died from the Coronahoax psyop and the poisoned vaccine that was foisted upon us as a result? What will it take before we wake up and realize that we are being oppressed, that our nation is being destroyed, and that the people who lord over us are illegitimate traitors who deserve a traitor’s fate? When will we act? When will the men of this nation be men and follow in the footsteps of their noble forefathers? To think we will win this nation at the ballot box or through purely political means is delusional.

Thomas Jefferson told us the truth when he said:

“What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure” (Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, November 13, 1787).

Were Patrick Henry, Samuel Adams, and Thomas Jefferson correct, or are those who today preach submission, inaction, or half-measures correct? Decide for yourself. My conscience, however, forbids me from telling Americans to sit and wait for a political solution which will never come. The tree of Liberty is parched and must be refreshed. Will we refresh it or will we let it wither and die completely? Would our forefathers be proud of us right now or would they shake their heads in disgust as we allow the greatest nation in history that they built with their blood, sweat, and tears to slip away into the hands of tyrants?

We should not start running into the streets shooting; we’re not organized and prepared for physical fighting. Our lack of organization is our undoing. Our Founding Fathers were highly organized, were used to community action, had their own extralegal leaders and legislative bodies, maintained armed militias, and enjoyed a united cause. All of that organizing happened before the Revolution, and it must happen before our revolution can truly begin.

I repeat and emphasize that now is not the time to start sniping people, but it is time to take our arms, train, and prepare for battle. We must organize a resistance force just as our forefathers organized the Continental Army. We must create Committees of Correspondence and a Continental Congress which can operate as the de facto government and lead a resistance movement until the traitors can be detected and rooted out and the proper constitutional government restored.

This is not a coup; a coup has already taken place by our enemies! It is a revolution to restore our Republic and Constitution, just as our forefathers fought to restore their rights and the ancient Anglo-Saxon institutions. All of that is being erased by a concerted group of traitors and their sycophants. Their illicit regime oppresses us and violates our rights; who can deny it? We have every moral, ethical, constitutional, legal, and natural right to rebel against our oppressors and to restore natural law. We don’t need a new constitution, we have one – the best in the world. What we need are new public servants to properly administer and obey that sacred document, thereby protecting our rights.

The argument is not whether a new revolution is necessary, but when it should happen and by what means. I propose that plans be immediately put into action, and a new constitutional government formed, to bring the restoration of the Republic about in the quickest manner possible. New Committees of Correspondence should be activated. A slate of wise leaders who understand rule or law and constitutionalism should be selected. If we are not the majority, so be it; our Founding Fathers were not the majority either. Yet, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, and other prominent and inspired men gathered – risking their lives – to form a new government and army to fight for their God-given rights. To them, Freedom was more important than political correctness or “peace.” It is more important to me, too.

Lest anyone think anything I am proposing is too extreme, please reread the Declaration of Independence. In it, you will see that it is our national doctrine that God has endowed us with unalienable rights and that governments are created for the sole purpose of protecting those rights. You will also find this bold rationale used by our ancestors to achieve Independence and which may be used today with equal justification:

“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.”

Whoever denies the right of rebellion against tyrants is no true American and shares nothing in common with our national heritage of freemen fighting for Freedom. Our progenitors knew God existed, that He gave them rights and Liberty, and that they had a sacred right to defend that Liberty at all costs and by any means necessary. Do we believe it today? If we don’t, we share no ideological kinship with the Founding Fathers and the Sons of Liberty. As for me, I side with them and with the American spirit.

One final quotation, this time from John Adams, is in order. Adams bluntly stated: “The right of a nation to kill a tyrant, in cases of necessity, can no more be doubted, than that to hang a robber, or kill a flea” (John Adams, Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States, 1787). The infernal infestation is rampant and it’s our duty to eliminate it for the sake of saving what’s left of our Republic, and in the name of doing what is right under God.

This is war, ladies and gentlemen. This isn’t a game. This isn’t a once-in-four-year voting event. This is real. Only the spirit of militant Freedom can preserve us. This conflict is the animating contest of Freedom! If you shrink now, you have no claim on the love of your countrymen or the honor of posterity. However, if you step forward now and do your part to fight tyranny and restore the Republic to its constitutional and moral foundation, you will have eternal praise and honor. More importantly, you will have done the right thing. Now and always take to heart the words of a hymn:

Do what is right; let the consequence follow.
Battle for freedom in spirit and might;
And with stout hearts look ye forth till tomorrow.
God will protect you; Then do what is right!

Independence Day Reflections

As July Fourth fades into July fifth, and the rockets’ red glare ceases to illuminate the night sky, I sit on my bed pondering about this great land of America and the challenges we face. My heart is somber. I feel like I want a cosmic megaphone so I can shout to the whole world and warn them of the fate they are rushing towards – to alert them to the trap that has been laid for them by humanity’s enemies. As we wave our flags, sing patriotic songs, and boast of our Freedom, I fear that we lose sight of the seriousness of our present situation.

America61

It appears that we are fulfilling in every particular the old scriptural warnings against complacency, naïveté, and ignorance. In one place we are told: “Woe to them that are at ease in Zion” (Amos 6:1). And in another ancient holy book, we are similarly warned:

“And others will [Satan] pacify, and lull them away into carnal security, that they will say: All is well in Zion; yea, Zion prospereth, all is well—and thus the devil cheateth their souls, and leadeth them away carefully down to hell.

“And behold, others he flattereth away, and telleth them there is no hell; and he saith unto them: I am no devil, for there is none—and thus he whispereth in their ears, until he grasps them with his awful chains, from whence there is no deliverance” (2 Nephi 28:21).

I see so many conservatives applauding what they think are improving conditions under President Trump. The economy appears to be a booming. Unemployment numbers seem to be dropping. Some taxes have been cut. President Trump has slashed some of the myriad of bureaucratic regulations that entangle us. We are pumping and exporting more oil than ever before. We are extending the hand of diplomacy and friendship to belligerent nations like North Korea. We are making “deals” with everyone. And so forth. In all these things, conservatives believe they see the winds of change – a revolution in favor of sound government, national stability, and personal Freedom.

Yet, I must question whether any of these are indicators of true change and betterment. We have been so indoctrinated with Marxism that we see everything in terms of economics and materialism. If the economy appears stable, we think things are peachy. If unemployment drops, we think the government is doing wonderful. If a small tax cut puts a few extra dollars in our bank accounts, we assume everything is on track.

America60

But what of our spiritual health and cultural well-being? Is church attendance on the rise? Is faith in Jesus Christ increasing? Are we following the Ten Commandments as a People? Are our families stronger? Are more marriages weathering the storms of life and resisting the Siren song of easy and “no-fault” divorce? Have we done away with the barbaric practice of slaughtering our newborns? Are we having large families again like our forefathers? Are we less sex-obsessed than before? Are people obeying the Lord’s law of chastity and abstaining from sex before marriage and remaining faithful in marriage? Is entertainment abandoning the trend of throwing profanity and lewdness into everything?

And how are our social relations? Are we less divided than before? Do we agree and unite on more issues than before? Do we ignore superficial issues like race and gender, or are we obsessed with them? Do we heed the ludicrous demands of political correctness or ignore them? Do we go along with Marxist hate speech legislation or cherish free speech and expression? Are our public demonstrations peaceful or more violent and heated? Are mobs and mob mentality increasing or decreasing? Is our social media interaction friendlier than it was in the past or worse?

And legally speaking, are things on the upswing? Is the Constitution followed more often now or less? Is the First Amendment under attack or defended? Is the Second Amendment under assault or held inviolate? How are privacy rights doing – or is there such thing as privacy these days? Do we have more or fewer police swarming our streets? Are we emptying or filling our prisons?

communism221

Folks, I could keep asking leading questions all day, but let me get to my point. Although the economy, on the surface, appears to be in a moment of upsurge (our $22 Trillion in debt, the existence of the parasitical Federal Reserve, and numerous other factors belie the claim of a booming economy), other indicators are blaring a “RED ALERT!” warning signal. The three great standards and institutions of any nation – Faith, Families, and Freedom – are all suffering massively. In fact, each is imploding before our eyes.

What good is a so-called “booming” economy when our Faith in the Savior gives way to pagan beliefs and reprobate behavior? How does a small tax cut assist us when our Families are decreasing in size, decreasing in effectiveness, and disintegrating altogether? What good is it to be a net exporter of oil when our Freedom is consumed by collectivist attitudes, Marxist-style Social Justice laws, and open calls for socialism by presidential candidates and the crowds who back them?

America is more divided than ever before. And the segment of the population who wants to drive the wedge even further and break us apart as a nation is succeeding largely because those of us who truly care and who ought to know better are ignoring the real problems. The honorable Ezra Taft Benson warned:

“If American freedom is lost, if America is destroyed, if our blood-bought freedom is surrendered, it will be because of Americans. What’s more, it will probably not be only the work of subversive and criminal Americans. The Benedict Arnolds will not be the only ones to forfeit our freedom. . . .

“If America is destroyed, it may be by Americans who salute the flag, sing the national anthem, march in patriotic parades, cheer Fourth of July speakers—normally good Americans, but Americans who fail to comprehend what is required to keep our country strong and free—Americans who have been lulled away into a false security” (President Ezra Taft Benson, “Americans Are Destroying America,” Conference Report, April, 1968).

Is this what is happening? Are good, seemingly patriotic Americans responsible for the cultural destruction we see around us because they have been apathetic, naïve, and ignorant? I submit that this is precisely the case. There will always be subversives who want to overthrow the established government and set up a self-serving system with themselves in charge. However, this criminal element can only succeed when the population as a whole turns a blind eye and allows them to. We have for generations been so obsessed with bread and circuses that we allowed the communist cancer to spread to every community in the Union. We’ve slept while Rome burned. We’ve sold our Liberty for a mess of pottage!

jmObamaWithViolin 001

Ezra Taft Benson delivered another powerful warning that should’ve been heeded decades ago:

“For a quarter of a century I have seen, at close range, the insidious forward march of creeping socialism and its ruthless companion godless communism. It is a shocking record of bluff, bluster, deception, intrigue, bondage, and mass murder. Never in recorded history has any movement spread itself so far and so fast as has socialistic-communism in the past few years. The facts are not pleasant to review. Communist leaders are jubilant with their success. They are driving freedom back on almost every front. . . .

“I say to you with all the fervor of my soul: We are sowing the seeds of our own destruction in America and much of the free world today. It is my sober warning to you today that if the trends of the past thirty years – and especially the past three years – continue, we will lose that which is as priceless as life itself – our freedom – our liberty – our right to act as free men. It can happen here. It is happening here.

“Our greatest need in America today is to be alerted and informed” (Ezra Taft Benson, “We Must Become Alerted and Informed,” speech, December 13, 1963).

The seeds of destruction that were sewn decades ago are being harvested now before our eyes. Our enemies are “jubilant with their success.” Our level of healthy religion and morality – the pillars of free society – is declining. Our families are falling apart. Freedom is being pushed back “on almost every front.” And what do we do in the face of this awful situation? We cheer and celebrate, wave our flags and shoot off our fireworks, and believe that President Trump will save us!

media11

Instead, we need to become “alerted and informed.” We need to comprehend that there exists an international Satanic cabal which seek to obliterate our Liberty and consolidate the United States into a Marxist world order. We need to understand that communism never died, the USSR faked its “collapse,” and the West lost the Cold War. We need to admit that we have not done enough for to save our Republic – that it is our fault for allowing this clique of gangsters to abuse us for all these many years. We need to wake up and heed the warnings of men who have been awake all this time and who have screamed themselves hoarse trying to alert and save their country.

After this Independence Day, will anything change? Are our hearts stirring with emotion for our lost Liberty? Are we pricked with the terrible realization that all is not well in Zion? Will we push forward with more vigor for the restoration of our land to its godly roots? Will we work harder to preserve and replenish our Faith, Families, and Freedom? Will anything change at all? Or is July Fourth it just another day? Was it just another holiday – an excuse to BBQ, take the day off, and blow off some fireworks? Only you can decide what this day meant for you and what you will do from here on out.

From where I sit, it is not “morning in America.” But there should be mourning in America. The blast of the fireworks last night should have reverberated in our souls. We should feel the urgency which our situation presents. We should feel stirred to action in defense of our smoldering homeland. We should feel a greater determination to push back the communists who have gained so much ground that they are openly parading with hammer and sickle flags, burning Old Glory in D.C., beating people to within an inch of their lives in violent public demonstration while the police do nothing, and relishing the notion that one of their chosen candidates will likely be the Democratic Party nominee for president in 2020.

communism228

My fellow Americans, we are losing this war. We are losing. Donald Trump is president, yet we are losing. So-called conservatives have a majority on the Supreme Court, yet we are losing. Republicans control the Senate, yet we are losing. Our culture is sinking under the weight of hedonism and selfishness. Public schools are little more than communist indoctrination centers. Even public libraries, those places that gave me so many hours of joy as a child, are scenes of debauchery and indoctrination. Yes, Christian constitutionalists are being pushed back on almost every front.

If I sound overly pessimistic, it is because I am. We are losing the war and the casualties are mounting. I know we will win the war in the end, but at what cost? How much will we lose along the way? How many of our friends and family members will fall in this struggle? How many more good people will have their lives, careers, and reputations destroyed because of the cowardice of their neighbors to defend their rights against oppression? How many more children will be stolen from good homes because of the political or religious views of their parents? How much more lewdness and depravity must we be forced to witness? How much more suffering must we endure before we wake up and thrash the enemy who feeds off of our pain like the American Indian god Okee?

As wonderful and fun as it is to watch fireworks, have BBQs, wear patriotic apparel, and read The Declaration of Independence with my family, I can’t help but mourn for my country. America is on fire. And if my home is burning, will I remain silent? If my family is in danger, will I remain inactive? If I’m on the verge of losing everything I love, will I shout, “USA! USA! USA!” or say “All is well”? No! And if you are a patriot, you must not fall into this fatal trap of complacency and inattention!

Now is the time to wake up. Now is the time to become informed. Now is the time to study the Constitution as well as the tactics of the communist enemy. Now is the time to educate your family and neighbors. Now is the time to act in behalf of your country. Now is the time!

America39

I love America! America is the greatest nation on earth! We are the most blessed People in history. This is a special land – a Promised Land. It is a land reserved by God for humble, righteous People. It is the Lord’s base of operations in these last days. America must be defended!

I pledge my life to the restoration of the Republic, the defense of our God-inspired Constitution, and to the maintenance of the principles of Liberty and rule of law. I pledge myself to the defense of Faith, Family, and Freedom. Whatever little I have to offer, I offer to my nation, to my People, and to my God. God help America!
