One of these days, These Boots . . .

Unless you’re a Swiftie for Kamala or an Evangelical for Harris or another kind of Never Trump groupie, someone with a head on their shoulders (and not where the light of reality can’t poke through) can imagine the future under Harris-Walz. O’Brien, the grand inquisitor of the totalitarian regime in Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, provides the image:

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – for ever.”

You squeal “totalitarian regime!” “That’s why we are not voting for Trump. He will destroy democracy! Christian nationalists will make America about God again! Harris-Walz will save Democracy and keep those pesky Christians out of politics!”

(Maybe you’ve just come from Two Minutes Hate on MSNBC where they loudly voice their hatred for their enemy and their love for super-state candidates. (And yes, another reference to Nineteen Eighty-Four, since wisdom and reason don’t connect at all with the aforementioned. The frenzy of spewing existential anguish and personal hatred does.))

The Boot of Mind Control on Your Face

You squeal “totalitarian regime” and “Trump’s Hitler” because the media’s lies and “threat to democracy” psyop programming have become embedded jackboots stamping down on your subconscious so no objections could be raised. As such, you don’t see that the jackboot is on the other foot. And, you don’t see that the totalitarian regime backing Harris-Walz is pacing in the wings ready to place its boot on your face “for ever!”

The Boot of Suppression on Your Face

Vice President Kamala Harris is threatening to weaponize the Department of Justice (DOJ) against social media platforms failing to censor supposed “hate” and “misinformation” to her liking.

Censorship will be imposed Under Harris-Walz.

You see, your voice and your opinion are detestable to the authoritarian elites. They love to lecture, pontificate, and blather on in the media, in books and articles, in podcasts, and in church-sponsored events. They love the sound of their own voice. They don’t want to hear from you unless you are a journalist asking the “right” questions (and not the right questions.)

(There are those who lecture. And there are those of us tired of being lectured to and being censored.)

The “Save Democracy” party acted to silence Joe and Jill Biden when they replaced Joe with a DEI token. Joe is speaking out now and Dems are not happy, as he messes with their Disney production.

They have tried, by any means necessary, to suppress the voice of Donald Trump who represents the voice of those the elites detest and Democrats take for granted. They will do so again. When he wins the election, they will claim that he’s an “insurrectionist” to keep him out of the White House.

Some Democrats won’t commit to certifying a Trump victory (axios.com)

The 10+ million illegal immigrants who invaded our country under Biden-Harris will supress the voice of the American citizen in the voting booth – by design.

(Dems don’t need Zuckerbucks to swing this election. FEMA under Mayorkas is giving away tax-payer money to illegals – for votes!)

The Boot of Safetyism on Your Face

They want to silence you. They say that when you question and propose a different view that you spread misinformation with the potential to cause dramatic real-world consequences. In other words, prioritizing feelings of safety is reason to censor you. You see, you are unsafe when you say things not in line with the narrative come down from on high. The censors are not unsafe because they have “specialized” insider knowledge. The authoritarian elite want the population to be quiet, afraid, constantly worrying about what is next, and looking to them for answers.

The Boot of Choice Architecture on Your Face

The jackboots of social media and search engine Google have censored/stamped/manipulated out your voice and the truth during COVID and elections.

Mark Zuckerberg, in his letter to Congressman Jim Jordan, wrote about government interference in the free exchange of information:

In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree.

Election example:

Google Manipulates Search for Hillary Crimes (youtube.com)

It’s no wonder that Democrats hate that Musk’s X is giving people the freedom to speak.

The Boot of Misinformation on Your Face

Half-truths, lying, and creating a pretense of reality are forms of censorship that are blatantly dangerous to our Democracy.

The government – federal, state and local – will mis-inform. To wit: What the New Jobs Report Really Says (youtube.com) The Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Commerce Department, has been the economy’s false witness for years. Does anyone think there has been a real economic recovery since the lockdowns?

During the Trump-Harris “debate” a moderator fact-checked Trump’s claim that crime is up. David Muir cited FBI reports that crime is down. Everyone knows this isn’t true. It is well-known that FBI crime reports are skewed because big cities run by Democrats do not report crime statistics to the FBI.

10-16-2024 FBI update: 80,000 violent crimes not originally counted.

They say that inflation has come down to 2.4% Yet prices have not come down, have they? I knew that the last Fed cut (50 bp) would happen before the election so as to boost the markets and make the economy and current government look good.

The “Save Democracy” party media (NYT, WaPo, The Atlantic, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, and their ilk), in service of state power and the “ruling class”, provides only the state-approved narrative (See mind-control video above).” This Boot of their Misinformation is extremely dangerous to our Democracy.

The Boot of Central Planning on Your Face

A full arsenal of censoring (and compelled speech) boots – DEI, ESG, CRT, LGBTQ, licensing, and more -have been deployed by institutions and the state for purposes of culture planning.

Any of the following should be terrifying, unless, of course, you are saying what Big Brother types want you to say. (They love cultural Christians, the ones who talk about love and Jesus and who parrot their narratives!)

State information control/censorship under Harris-Walz:

Three powerful Dems sound major alarm bells over Comrade Kamala’s plans to BUTCHER social media… – Revolver News

Tyler Durden: “We’ll translate “govern” for readers as it essentially means narration control (or official government-approved propaganda)—that is, through the censorship blob at federal government agencies in Washington, DC, the intel community, Silicon Valley’s big tech, fact-checkers, think tanks and “legacy corporate media. 

Kerry’s choice of words and tone shows that far-left radicals in the Obama-Biden-Harris team are frightened that their own misinformation and disinformation propaganda jammed through far-left corporate media outlets is no longer sticking as the citizens gravitate to the ‘free speech’ X platform run by Elon Musk for their news in the pursuit of truth after being lied to for decades by their corrupt government and corporate overlords.”

Matt Taibbi writes:

WE IGNORE LAWS. It’s what America does. With this in mind, our government has moved past censorship to the larger project of changing the American personality. They want a more obedient, timorous, fearful citizen. Their tool is the Internet, a vast machine for doling out reward and punishment through likes and views, shaming or deamplification. The mechanics are complicated but the core concept is simple: you’re upranked for accepting authority, downranked for questioning it, with questions of any kind increasingly viewed as a form of disinformation.

What alarms me is the resort to censorship, media control, and weaponization of the federal agencies. When a U.S. president colludes with, or outright coerces, media companies to censor political speech, it’s an attack on our most sacred right of free expression. And that’s the very right upon which all of our other constitutional rights rest.” RFK

The Mindset of the Big Brother-stamping-boot Types

You are to be completely dependent on them and their “expertise.” They are growing the welfare state, accelerated now with 10+ million illegals, to support your dependency. Government-involved healthcare is another dependency maker. Kamala Harris fully embraces government-run, single-payer healthcare.

As with government backing of student loans creating rising college and university tuitions and more student debt, there is a downside to government involved healthcare:

Former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act (ACA) sought to make health insurance more accessible, all while reducing premiums and the government’s budget shortfall, and allowing Americans to keep their preferred medical providers. However, individual market premiums surged, hundreds of billions of dollars were added to cumulative U.S. deficits and seven million consumers had their plans canceled following the ACA’s passage, the Committee to Unleash Prosperity study found.

Right now, we have a ruling elite government that thinks it owns you. It owns your rights. It owns your property. It owns your patents. It owns your body and health. It owns your thoughts and words and beliefs. Put another way, it sees you as a vassal, a serf. As such, you were meant to be stamped on. Under big government-as-lord-and master Harris-Walz, thought will become stamping action.

One of these days, their jackboots are gonna walk all over you.

The Self-censored

How can this be? Have religious people been taught not to deal with reality? Are they just passing through, like the chorus says? Are they so heavenly minded they are no earthly good? Are they so passive and feminized that they can’t take a stand.

The Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University has found that millions of religious people, most of whom are Christian, report that they will not vote in November’s election.

The study relates that only 51% of “people of faith,” including Christians, Muslims, Jews, Mormons, and other religious groups, plan on voting. This means that approximately 104 million religious people will not vote.

“The 32 million Christians who regularly attend church services but are not likely to vote,” he said, “represent a far larger margin than the combined number of votes that decided the 2020 election in key battleground states.”

[The study’s lead researcher, Dr. George] Barna added, “If church leaders, family members, and close friends will use their influence to get reticent voters from their churches to cast a ballot on November 5, the election outcome will be meaningfully affected.”

Millions of Christians, religious people say they are not voting in November – CatholicVote org

When Christians were asked to explain their complacency, 68% replied that they aren’t interested in politics, followed by 57% who dislike both presidential candidates, and another 52% who believe their vote won’t make a difference. In a sad sign of where we are as a country, 48% also worry that the election results will be manipulated.

When Christians Don’t Vote, ‘We Open The Door For Every Evil Ideology To Fill The Vacuum’ – Harbinger’s Daily (harbingersdaily.com)

I voted last week. I am a Christian. I voted for Trump/Vance because I want the Biden-Harris-Obama nightmare to end, I want the wicked duo of Harris-Walz kept out of the White House, and the administrative state dismantled.

Beware of the Werewolves in Sheeps’ Clothing:  Evangelicals for Harris. They look benign and come across as pure as the driven snow to gain your trust. But these werewolves are out to kill at least one vote for Trump each night. You know them by their howling lies:

“Harris “aligns with our biblical values of loving our neighbors as ourselves and protecting the most vulnerable as we are called to do by Jesus,” while Trump “uses fear and hate to divide and conquer,” Ball said.

“The bottom line: Character still counts. Harris will do what’s best for the country even if it costs her, whereas Mr. Trump will always do what’s best for him, even if it hurts the country.”

The above quote from the Rev. Jim Ball, chair of Evangelicals for Harris, is not just galling it is wildly untrue.

Is this what the Rev. Ball means by Harris “protecting the most vulnerable”?

EXCLUSIVE: Biden-Harris Admin Paves Way For Bureaucrats To Take Gender-Confused Kids From ‘Non-Affirming’ Parents | (dailycallernewsfoundation.org)

Does the Rev. Ball mean how the Border Czar is “protecting the most vulnerable” Americans?

Laken Riley was a 22-year-old nursing student at Augusta University was murdered in February 2024 while jogging on the University of Georgia campus. José Antonio Ibarra, a Venezuelan national who had entered the U.S. illegally, was charged with her murder. The case has led to proposed legislation, known as the “Laken Riley Act,” which imposes stricter immigration laws regarding migrant detention.

Does the Rev. Ball mean this?

Yeah, Kamala is a real peach!

Filmmaker Joel Gilbert speaks up about how Kamala targeted Black communities in CA and sent a mother to jail for taking care of her sick child. “Complete lack of empathy!”

Harris talks about herself using ideological slogans, cackling and flirtation. Trump talks about himself in reference to American citizens and what matters to them. Trump has a human reference point. Harris is an empty pantsuit that is referenced to whatever. There’s no there there.

The Rev. Ball used footage of Billy Graham as a cloak of moral superiority.

Beware of those cloaked in moral superiority!

And there’s this, UGH!:

Character that matters to Americans:

American Citizenship and Its Decline: The Disappearing Middle Class

On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the shifting economic roots of the decline of citizenship before introducing Victor Davis Hanson.

Citizenship is rare in human history but essential to free government. Today, the constitutional rule of citizens in America is threatened by a new form of government, unaccountable to the people, in which power is held by a ruling class that seeks to transform our society. In this eight-lecture course, students will examine the origins and history of citizenship in the West and the grave challenges American citizenship faces today.

A large and self-sufficient middle class is essential to citizenship, as it prevents an unstable, binary society of rich and poor. The once thriving American middle class is now vanishing due to high debts, low wages, and government policies that trap citizens in a prolonged adolescence.

Solzhenitsyn wrote with “lucid understanding,” and with no small dose of scorn, about the “Progressive Doctrine,” the inhuman ideology that justified terror and tyranny as no regime or ideological movement had ever justified the killing and repression of real or imagined “enemies of the People.” He showed that the heart of Bolshevism lay in a monstrous coming together of violence and lies that gave rise not to mere dictatorship but to a totalitarianism that transformed betrayal and lying into “forms of existence.”  This totalitarianism demanded fierce resistance, both for the sake of liberty and for the right of the human soul to breathe freely, with the dignity afforded it by God.

Former President Barack Obama is urging black men to support Kamala Harris, suggesting that our allegiance should be based on the color of her skin and the chance to “make history.” But I have a simple response to that: my ancestors fought too hard for my right to vote for me to be reduced to a racial checkbox in a political game. I won’t support someone just because they look remotely like me—especially when that person has shown no regard for the real issues facing black communities.

No Debate About It

Everyone knows where the very public and transparent Trump stands on issues. Democrats know and are doing everything they can to keep Trump out of the White House. And it is not because of his personality or his past immoral peccadillos, or because he poses a “threat to Democracy!” No.

Donald J Trump is a threat to the status quo of the Blob – a clandestine network of members of the federal government, working in conjunction with financial, industrial, media, and social media entities and leaders, to exercise power alongside with and apart from the elected United States government.

(That is the “Russia Russia Russia!” (and many others) deception-generating Blob, that I am referring to, that is focused on taking out Trump and retaining Blob power.

More than 700 deep state security and military officials have officially endorsed Kamala Harris for president, claiming that former President Donald J. Trump “endangers” democratic ideals, ironically as Harris was never democratically nominated by her party. (Emphasis mine.)

The Entire Deep State Just Endorsed Kamala. (thenationalpulse.com))

Trump has openly talked about bursting that foul blister to save the country, its citizens, the Constitution, the Supreme Court, and Democracy! And that’s why Blob parasites continue, even after a second attempt on his life, to call Trump a “threat to Democracy.” They hope that someone listening to Blob media and deep-state prepped will take him out by any means necessary. They want to continue feeding on America.

Did the Harris/Biden DOJ just make their last-ditch move to ensure Trump’s assassinated before election day? – Revolver News

In a shocking and dangerously irresponsible move, the Harris/Biden DOJ put out a letter showing there’s a $150k active bounty on President Trump’s head. Why would they release something like this right after yet another assassination attempt? Most would say it’s because they’re absolutely desperate to take him out before Election Day

That is the “Russia Russia Russia!” (and many others) deception-generating Blob, that I am referring to, all meant to smear Trump and retain Blob power.

So far, Trump has dodged bullets and Kamala has dodged interviews.

Where does the blob/Democratic party’s second basement candidate stand on the issues?

What did we learn about the Blob’s amorphous candidate during the Tuesday, Sept. 10 ABC presidential three-against-one debate?

Kamala said things that were not true and wasn’t fact-checked. Trump, on the other hand was interrupted over and over and “fact-checked” – not with facts but with the Blob media’s skewed talking points. That’s how the totally biased and condescending ABC moderators rolled. The purulent matter of the Blob media seeped out. The biggest loser in Tuesday night’s presidential debate was ABC News. No Debate About It.

The public is exhausted after a decade of chronic untruth from the left wing and its media.

Harris-Trump presidential debate transcript – ABC7 Los Angeles

There was no newfound knowledge about the Blob’s hand puppet. There was a lot of coached mannerisms that reminded me of the Blob’s snarky media hosts.

If you switched off the sound for the ABC debate Tuesday night and just watched the images, you would come away feeling deep distaste for the haughty flibbertigibbet who kept making faces while Trump was speaking. 

The many, nasty faces of Kamala Harris: VP only reinforced the fatal inauthenticity of her debate performance (nypost.com)

American writer, social critic, public speaker, and blogger James Howard Kunstler, in his brief Substack post What You Don’t Know Might Surprise You, writes about Hollywood influence shoring up Kamala and comments on the debate: “everything she said was disingenuous or an outright lie.”

And then he flags the debate “whopper”: an admission by Kamala Harris regarding her whereabouts on J6 when a “joint session of Congress was about to certify her as the first female veep in US history.”

“. . .at 11:15a.m. on 1/6/21 — hours before protesters breached the Capitol — Kamala Harris was spirited away a few blocks to 430 South Capitol Street, the headquarters building of the Democratic National Committee, where a pipe bomb (or facsimile of one) had been planted hours before by some DC law enforcement person.”

Kunstler explains why:

“The plan, you see, was to disrupt the election certification process underway at mid-day in the House chamber by creating a furor over the discovery of the pipe bomb planted to assassinate veep-elect Kamala Harris — a joint blob / Democratic Party operation.”

To further the J6 and “threat to Democracy” ruse by the Blob, a recent August 2, 2024 article was posted:

Vice President Kamala Harris came within 20 feet of a pipe bomb at the Democratic National Committee headquarters on Jan. 6, 2021.

Kamala Harris came within 20 feet of pipe bomb on Jan. 6, report finds – Washington Examiner

Kunstler goes on to say that the pipe bomb hoax wasn’t needed. Deep state actors – FBI instigators – stoked the J6 crowd into disrupting the procedure. (Unarmed Ashli Babbitt was murdered that day by capital police officer Michael Byrd.)

You won’t hear about any of this from the MSM or in your “higher education” bubble where discernment and wisdom are denied admission. Darren Beattie at Revolver has done extensive investigative research on the pipe bomb hoax: You searched for pipe bomb – Revolver News

The debate between President Trump and Kamala Harris was a complete nothingburger for her. She didn’t go in and wow anyone or change any hearts and minds. All she really proved is that she’s running on “vibes.” Kamala is banking on feelings and emotions because she’s got nothing when it comes to actual policies. And what little she has to show is a track record of failure and hopelessness.

The Coming Civil War and Financial Crisis

What isn’t a nothing burger: Democrats, the “Save Democracy” party, is setting us up for another stolen election with reports that election results will take time to count, and, of course, with the influx of illegal immigrants being set up to vote as if they were U.S. citizens and had skin in the game.

But when Trump wins reelection, Democrats will provoke civil war.

If there is a Democrat majority in the house this next election, Trump’s reelection will not be certified on January 6th 2025. Democrats will claim (falsely) that he is an insurrectionist. A conspiracy theory? No. The “Save Democracy” Party is very open about this.

[Jamie] Raskin then suggested that there would be “civil war conditions” and that Congress would “need bodyguards for everybody.” The Democrat lawmaker claimed that civil war conditions and bodyguards would be necessary because the Supreme Court justices “simply do not want to do their job and interpret what the great Fourteenth Amendment means.”

Democrat Rep calls for ‘civil war conditions,’ to disqualify Trump (americanmilitarynews.com)

“…so it’s going to be up to us on January 6, 2025, to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he’s disqualified.”

How Democrats Could Disqualify Trump If the Supreme Court Doesn’t – The Atlantic

I have no doubt that Trump will win reelection and I have no doubt that the Democrats will not certify his reelection. Never Trumpers and Evangelicals for Harris, who cast their vote for Kamala, will have to lie to themselves again to be OK with the loss of Democracy and the takeover of the country.

When the takeover happens, we will not have a legitimate government. No debate about it.

As a result, there will massive civil unrest. The dollars in your pocket, your bank account and retirement accounts will lose most of their value. The fiat U.S. dollar is backed, not by gold, but by the full faith and trust in the government that issued it. Faith and trust will be blown away by the illegitimate government. No other country will want to deal with the dollar.

Right now, BRIC nations, “a Russia- and China-led consortium has apparently settled on using gold as the basis of a planned new international currency system separate from the US dollar and euro.”

Forbes: The BRICs Go For Gold

The stock market will likely crash 50% (hurting retirement accounts) and Marshall law will then be imposed by the “Save Democracy” party. Everyone needs to prepare for what is coming. Right now, make sure that America First republicans are elected to the house so that there is majority to protect against the “fundamental transformation” plans of Democrats.

More on this in a future post.

There. Now, pour yourself a tall cool glass of Simply Lemonade. Cut yourself a piece of apple pie. Kick back and enjoy some Americana. Reanimate your imagination.

You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. – Mark Twain

Samuel Clemens, using the pen name Mark Twain, gave America two major classics of American literature: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

The lives and values of people living in the American South during the middle of the nineteenth century are conveyed through Twain’s choice of imagery, vernacular, relaxed diction and characters. Twain’s small-town realism: what is seen through the eyes and imaginations of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn.

A Stamp printed in USA shows the painting “Tom Sawyer”, by Norman Rockwell (1894-1978), American Folklore Issue, circa 1972

If you were ever a kid, and I suspect that most of you have been so inclined, you will connect with the antics of Tom Sawyer. You’ll relate to Tom’s larger-than-life imaginings and his dashed realizations. Like Tom, you may have acquired experienced-based knowledge and also consequences with each twist and turn of an adventure.

You’ll remember being bored during summer vacation and being both bored and lonely during a bout of the measles. And you’ll recollect more, as you listen to and read . . .

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain, Chapter 22

TOM joined the new order of Cadets of Temperance, being attracted by the showy character of their “regalia.” He promised to abstain from smoking, chewing, and profanity as long as he remained a member. Now he found out a new thing—namely, that to promise not to do a thing is the surest way in the world to make a body want to go and do that very thing. Tom soon found himself tormented with a desire to drink and swear; the desire grew to be so intense that nothing but the hope of a chance to display himself in his red sash kept him from withdrawing from the order. Fourth of July was coming; but he soon gave that up —gave it up before he had worn his shackles over forty–eight hours—and fixed his hopes upon old Judge Frazer, justice of the peace, who was apparently on his deathbed and would have a big public funeral, since he was so high an official. During three days Tom was deeply concerned about the Judge’s condition and hungry for news of it. Sometimes his hopes ran high—so high that he would venture to get out his regalia and practise before the looking–glass. But the Judge had a most discouraging way of fluctuating. At last he was pronounced upon the mend—and then convalescent. Tom was disgusted; and felt a sense of injury, too. He handed in his resignation at once—and that night the Judge suffered a relapse and died. Tom resolved that he would never trust a man like that again.

The funeral was a fine thing. The Cadets paraded in a style calculated to kill the late member with envy. Tom was a free boy again, however —there was something in that. He could drink and swear, now—but found to his surprise that he did not want to. The simple fact that he could, took the desire away, and the charm of it.

Tom presently wondered to find that his coveted vacation was beginning to hang a little heavily on his hands.

He attempted a diary—but nothing happened during three days, and so he abandoned it.

The first of all the negro minstrel shows came to town, and made a sensation. Tom and Joe Harper got up a band of performers and were happy for two days.

Even the Glorious Fourth was in some sense a failure, for it rained hard, there was no procession in consequence, and the greatest man in the world (as Tom supposed), Mr. Benton, an actual United States Senator, proved an overwhelming disappointment—for he was not twenty–five feet high, nor even anywhere in the neighborhood of it.

A circus came. The boys played circus for three days afterward in tents made of rag carpeting—admission, three pins for boys, two for girls—and then circusing was abandoned.

A phrenologist and a mesmerizer came—and went again and left the village duller and drearier than ever.

There were some boys–and–girls’ parties, but they were so few and so delightful that they only made the aching voids between ache the harder.

Becky Thatcher was gone to her Constantinople home to stay with her parents during vacation—so there was no bright side to life anywhere.

The dreadful secret of the murder was a chronic misery. It was a very cancer for permanency and pain.

Then came the measles.

During two long weeks Tom lay a prisoner, dead to the world and its happenings. He was very ill, he was interested in nothing. When he got upon his feet at last and moved feebly down–town, a melancholy change had come over everything and every creature. There had been a “revival,” and everybody had “got religion,” not only the adults, but even the boys and girls. Tom went about, hoping against hope for the sight of one blessed sinful face, but disappointment crossed him everywhere. He found Joe Harper studying a Testament, and turned sadly away from the depressing spectacle. He sought Ben Rogers, and found him visiting the poor with a basket of tracts. He hunted up Jim Hollis, who called his attention to the precious blessing of his late measles as a warning. Every boy he encountered added another ton to his depression; and when, in desperation, he flew for refuge at last to the bosom of Huckleberry Finn and was received with a Scriptural quotation, his heart broke and he crept home and to bed realizing that he alone of all the town was lost, forever and forever.

And that night there came on a terrific storm, with driving rain, awful claps of thunder and blinding sheets of lightning. He covered his head with the bedclothes and waited in a horror of suspense for his doom; for he had not the shadow of a doubt that all this hubbub was about him. He believed he had taxed the forbearance of the powers above to the extremity of endurance and that this was the result. It might have seemed to him a waste of pomp and ammunition to kill a bug with a battery of artillery, but there seemed nothing incongruous about the getting up such an expensive thunderstorm as this to knock the turf from under an insect like himself.

By and by the tempest spent itself and died without accomplishing its object. The boy’s first impulse was to be grateful, and reform. His second was to wait—for there might not be any more storms.

The next day the doctors were back; Tom had relapsed. The three weeks he spent on his back this time seemed an entire age. When he got abroad at last he was hardly grateful that he had been spared, remembering how lonely was his estate, how companionless and forlorn he was. He drifted listlessly down the street and found Jim Hollis acting as judge in a juvenile court that was trying a cat for murder, in the presence of her victim, a bird. He found Joe Harper and Huck Finn up an alley eating a stolen melon. Poor lads! they—like Tom—had suffered a relapse.

America has been undergoing a hostile takeover by the Wicked WOKE. Since the ‘60s this red army has infiltrated our education systems. From elementary through graduate school, it has promoted an infighting America. Using Marxism’s class warfare, identity politics and now Critical Race Theory, one is taught to hate America, hate Capitalism and even your own white skin color. What is the Wicked Woke’s motivation?

 . . . if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. Mk. 3:25

The military is being subjected to Marxism and CRT. To get first-hand insight, read Lt. Colonel Matthew Lohmeier’s book Irresistible Revolution; Marxism’s goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military. Lt. Colonel Lohmeier was sacked from his command following this book. This man has courage that many in leadership lack!

Businesses are now submitting to cultural Marxism. The over a century old engineering company I work for is now celebrating the division of the company into identity groups via the tokenism of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives (DEI). Apparently, the adult owners and managers are being led by the nose by the new recruits once matriculated in indoctrination classes.

American history is tortured into saying America is a racist country (vide anti-American Communist sympathizer Hannah Jones’ 1619 Project).

People are waterboarded by the media into feelings of panic and terror with a constant deluge of “pandemic” counts, deaths and variants, mask wearing mandates, lockdown mandates, vaccination as salvation, a Jan. 6th narrative, racism behind every bush, and an impending climate change apocalypse.

Just the other day the Biden regime’s Energy Sect. Jennifer Granholm was on CNN. When asked a leading question, Granholm suggested that the building in Florida may have collapsed because of climate change. Why instill fear in people? Why provoke anyone to think that their building may collapse at any moment due to climate change? Why? Fear is used for political ends.

Through relabeling and redefinition of terms, the NSA and FBI pronounce white Americans who love their country “White supremacists”. This now ‘allows’ them to spy on American citizens with impunity.

We will soon be made to lease our homes. The global elites (Warren Buffett’s Berkshire-Hathaway Real Estate included?) are buying up housing and real estate. You will be forced to rent and accept their lease terms, including their progressive Marxist agenda. Private property will be taken away.

The Biden regime and Democrats in Congress aim to spend enormous amounts of taxpayer money. In doing so, our country will be headed for financial ruin – hyperinflation, market collapse and the dollar will lose its standing as the global reserve currency. Our children, grandchildren and their children will suffer great hardship because of their out-of-control spending.

Our constitutional republic is being destroyed by those who cry “Our Democracy is under attack!” while increasing their censorship of what Americans can and cannot say.

When the Biden regime took over the White House in Jan. of 2021, our constitutional republic was subjected to malicious attacks. One of the puppet dictator’s first acts was to abolish what he called the ‘offensive’ 1776 Commission. He also restarted the racial sensitivity reprogramming of American citizens.

Below is a copy of what the Biden regime abolished and what militant ideologues continue to pillory as being “lies” and “propaganda”.

Turn off the media cauldron. Download and read the 1776 Report to your family.

From the 1776 Report Conclusion:

Identity politics is fundamentally incompatible with the principle of equality enshrined in the Declaration of Independence.

Of note, Dr. Carol M. Swain was the Vice chair of the President’s 1776 Commission. You will want to go to her website to watch the video From GED to PH.D: the Carol Swain Story. (I doubt that she is “black enough” per the racist standard set by Joe Biden and the rest of the race hustlers.)

Unlike President Wilson (see “The Meaning of Liberty”) who progressively sought to bring the Declaration up to date, President Coolidge affirms the enduring veracity of human equality, inalienable rights, and the consent of the governed—“those old theories and principles which time and the unerring logic of events have demonstrated to be sound.”

The Ruling Class Cannibals want to determine who lives and who gets eaten alive, whose convictions are deemed worthy and given the “dignity” thumbs up and whose convictions are deemed too morally restrictive and impertinent to an overreaching court and thus requiring a thumb down.  Progress and not permanence is of the essence to these fast foodies.

The Ruling Class Cannibals seek to replace the U.S. Constitution and the laws derived from tried and true classical Judeo/Christian/Greco/Roman thought for the International House of Pancakes law.  Such an overturning of our legal foundation would allow these flesh-eaters to season the pot by appropriating the multicultural concepts of relativism, nihilism, animism and kulakcannibalism that the rest of the blood and flesh world bring to the table. To wit, Andrew C. McCarthy’s The globalist legal agenda

[U.S. Supreme court Justice Stephen Breyer’s latest book] The Court and the World is similarly a call for judicial supremacy, this time under the guise of international “interdependence.” The courts are once again pitched as an enabling agent of democratic choice, but on a supra-national scale.

The world, though, is a very undemocratic place—though perhaps no more undemocratic than Supreme Court diktats that remove controversies like abortion and “same-sex marriage” from democratic resolution.

How to explain the difference between progressive pretensions to “activate” liberty—i.e., to vouchsafe “the right of all persons to enjoy liberty as we learn its meaning,” as Justice Anthony Kennedy vaporously put it in imposing same-sex marriage on the nation—and progressive judging’s actual affect of curtailing our freedom to live as we choose? This inversion of democracy, it turns out, flows naturally from Breyer’s inversion of the judicial role—a philosophy of judging shared by a working majority of his Court, the bloc of five unelected jurists whose edicts control ever more of what was once democratic space.

“[O]ur American judicial system,” he contends, should “see itself as one part of a transnational or multinational judicial enterprise.” Inconveniently (but, alas, not insuperably), the only “judicial enterprise” licensed by the Constitution, from which federal judges derive their authority, is the protection of Americans from overreach by our government and the remediation of other harms inflicted by third parties in violation of laws enacted by our elected representatives.

Interpreting the law as written—an intellectual challenge that is vital to the rule of law even if not sufficiently stimulating for many a robed social engineer—is not so much an enterprise as a discipline. In our system, it is supposed to be the politically accountable branches that get to do the enterprising. Nor does the discipline of judging take on a “transnational or multinational” character merely because some small percentage of the parties implicated in legal disputes is of foreign extraction—even if, as Breyer rightly observes, modern technology has made the percentage larger by making the world smaller.

What does Breyer see as the objective of this global judicial enterprise? The advancement of “acceptance of the rule of law itself.” This “rule of law,” you’ll no doubt be shocked to learn, bears an astonishing resemblance to the rule of lawyers—in particular, the judges along with the army of equally unelected transnational progressive lawyers who urge them on.

International law is especially fertile soil for growing this empire.

Of course the courts are vital, but in their place. That is not the place envisioned by Justice Breyer: global maestro. American courts, however, are a core component of our government and thus the servant, not the master, of our people. They ensure our rule of law. Thus fortified, it is the United States, not a congeries of jurists and international law professors, that remains the indispensable force for good in a troubled and dangerous world.” (emphasis added)

Holster That Finger Obama  Obama finger gun5

The recent messaging out of the White House is that “gun violence” was behind the massacre in San Bernardino, Ca. This verbal smokescreen is notable in its attempt to obscure the truth. What should have been said by the White House: “This Bloodshed was caused by Islamists acting out Quran 8:12”.

Quran 8:12“I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”

As you can read, these words are not spiritual “rah-rahs” to foster a closer relationship with Allah (unless Allah is demanding your sacrificial death in the process!). No, these words were written to inflame hearts to do battle against infidels in a certain battle.

Enter Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, two modern day warriors of Islam. Farook and Malik took these inflammatory words out of context, loaded them with vengeance and directed them against soft target gun-free ‘infidels’ gathered for a party in California. A cache of guns, ammunition, pipe bombs and Qurans would be their means to carry out the call to violence stated in Quran 8:12. It was this ‘scripture’ that had been loaded into the psyches of Farook and Malik. It was this ‘scripture’ and a personal commitment to Jihad that destroyed truth and love before any trigger was pulled.

The recent messaging out of the White House is that “gun violence” was behind the massacre in San Bernardino, Ca. Obama, using his personal commitment to “radical transformation”, took his words out of the San Bernardino massacre context, loaded them with guile and then finger-pointed not at the intents and motives of fanatical mass murdering Islamists.  Rather, Obama finger-pointed at his projected political enemies – the ‘infidel’ citizens of the Second Amendment endowed and the “bitter clingers”… the soft targets not willing to be sitting ducks.  Obama finger gun4

“Evil Free Zones”

As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart. Proverbs 27:19

~~~

Why would a Kingdom of God centered blog write about gun control? For the reason that the Spirit of Lawlessness pulls the trigger of a gun and also pulls on multiple political triggers in a Democracy.

For the reason that the Spirit of Lawlessness involves malignant narcissism which can be characterized by an unsubmitted will, the essence of lawlessness and the earmark of evil.

~~~

Within hours after the shooting in Roseburg Oregon at Umpqua Community College President Obama went to his shooting range (the bully pulpit) and began posting targets of the 2nd Amendment.

The president projected that we as a nation are making a political decision to support gun violence: “This is a political choice that we make to allow this to happen every few months in America.” He went on to say, again projecting, that we a nation have become “numbed” by these events, that “Somehow this has become routine”. And, what caught my attention even more so during his remarks, “We collectively are answerable to those families who lose their loved ones because of our inaction.” (I will not show any video of Obama. He is not worthy your time.)

No, President Obama, we are not collectively responsible for what happens. I am NOT responsible for the Fast and Furious “event” murder of a border patrol agent during your administration’s gun-running operation under DOJ Eric Holder (a program initially created to generate 2nd Amendment opposition in its wake). And, I am NOT responsible for the murder of American Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans by your State Department’s dereliction of duty.

An individual, whether it be Chris Mercer-Harper or Eric Holder or Hillary Clinton, is responsible for his own behavior and not the American people as regarded with your projected ennui. And, it is apparent that some of the electorate and some your administration (Lois Lerner, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, to name just a few) may be just as lawless as you are Mr. President with your disregard for immigration laws.

Trigger warning: Obama’s crass politicizing and professorial shaming of the nation from the bully pulpit is the “routine” that we have become accustomed to. He’s pulling on the emotional triggers of many.

Obama’s invocation of the use of a political process – our unwieldy Democracy – to create a pretense of public safety was decidedly meant to corral in-the-moment public concern, anger and even a rush-to-judgment conviction. And, as Obama stated, he “will politicize” this sad and heartfelt event and, therefore, seek to turn the emotional reactions into a bold-faced law. Yet, even a passionate pseudo-democratic plea for authorization to amend law and make us feel good in the moment can never effect moral change and remove the lawlessness in the hearts of men or from our society.

Obama’s rhetoric in much of his speeches uses a well-known Collective device called the Goldstein Effect” so as to align our focus with his. It’s a given: Obama and Schumer Democrats will project an incident of one evil gun user onto all gun owners. The  anti-gun mouth runners will provide the “Two Minutes Hate” directed at the object of their loathing-the person with a gun.

Whether its guns, money, land or your business, the Collective very much seeks to take away your private property. Your right to be a gun owner and your right to protect yourself is of no value to them. So, they entomb you and your children in a “Gun Free Zone” (and thereby making you totally dependent on LEOs that this administration will not defend).

And, what law/s would stop a Chris Mercer-Harper or an Eric Holder or a Hillary Clinton from doing what they want to do anyway? Lawlessness prevails in the hearts of some men, whether on the street or in the White House.

Instead of carte blanche additions of more useless gun laws and the correlated loss of freedom there should be a serious debate and reflection about underlying causes of gun violence. Sadly, the social media format is “routinely” hype, hyperbole and ad hominem and not a debate forum. And, Obama is social media all the time.

Something to think about from Matthew’s Gospel Chapter 26, vs. 50-52: In the garden of Gethsemane, when soldiers approached to take Jesus into custody and to the High Priest Caiaphas, a disciple pulled out his sword and cut off the ear of the high priest’s servant. Jesus said, “Put your sword back in its place.”

Jesus, at this point in time, knew that his “hour” had come and that he had to proceed without resisting. Prior to that time Jesus must have also known that Peter was carrying a sword in his belt. Jesus did not tell him to take off the sword and get rid of it. He knew the sword was in “its place.”

“Put your sword back to where it belongs!” Jesus said to the disciple, “People who use the sword die by the sword!”

With a group of possibly twelve centurions standing nearby waiting to arrest Jesus I would have no doubt that the soldiers, fully armored and carrying swords, knew exactly what Jesus meant. And what Jesus said may have been a common saying among the soldiers of that time.

The understanding I get from this passage is that if you live “by the sword”-with the understanding that conflicts, whether internal or external, are only resolved by violent means to an end-then those who do so will meet a violent end.

God’s Kingdom purposes are not accomplished through violence or the preceding unsubmitted will of those that created the conflict in the first place.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for theirs is the Kingdom of God.”

At some point Chris Harper-Mercer turned away from looking into spiritual truth and disengaged from it and reality, perhaps by spending extended amounts of time alone in a darkened room on 4chan or on some just as enthralling and dehumanizing internet site.

Harper-Mercer’s deed appears to be a reflection of his time spent alone and online and a growing sense of powerlessness that he was “encouraged’ online to reverse with force.

A quotation from his Facebook account simply read: “When all the pleasures of the world have diluted, the only thing left that is pure is power.”

Dr. M. Scott Peck author of People of the Lie: the Hope for Healing Human Evil wrote, “… the only power that Satan has is through human belief in its lies.” Therein advances the evil that we must confront and be free of.

SCOTUS’ Judicial Reviews-A Wax Museum

Abraham Lincoln’s first inaugural address, speaking here about SCOTUS:

“And while it is obviously possible that such decision may be erroneous in any given case, still the evil effect following it, being limited to that particular case, with the chance that it may be overruled and never become a precedent for other cases, can better be borne than could the evils of a different practice. At the same time, the candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the Government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made in ordinary litigation between parties in personal actions the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their Government into the hands of that eminent tribunal.” (emphasis added)

The time has come to pass a Natural Marriage Amendment to the Constitution so as to define “Marriage” as between one man and one woman and nullifying unnatural and specious rights.

How do we get laws rectified these days? Certainly, immoral and unjust laws are being enacted and reinforced through Congress and the Judicial and Executive branch.

Do we continue to support abortion because government says it must take money out of your personal taxed income to support Planned Parenthood?  At what point do the good people get fed up and rebel against this government? After a trillion aborted babies? After a nation’s moral culture is destroyed by the moral lawlessness of homosexuality? What does it take for good people to act?

“A decline in courage may be the most striking feature which an outside observer notices in the West in our days.

Such a decline in courage is particularly noticeable among the ruling groups and the intellectual elite, causing an impression of loss of courage by the entire society.

“The constitution, on this hypothesis [the court seeking public approbation], is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist, and shape into any form they please. It should be remembered, as an axiom of eternal truth in politics, that whatever power in any government is independent, is absolute also; in theory only, at first, while the spirit of the people is up, but in practice, as fast as that relaxes. Independence can be trusted nowhere but with the people in mass. They are inherently independent of all but moral law.” Thomas Jefferson (emphasis added)

SCOTUS & SSM: The Fix Is In

~~~

There is a dividing line. There is a heaven and earth difference between man’s image imprinted on man’s laws (and coinage) and God’s image imprinted on man himself. The practice of homosexuality crosses the line. Homosexuality is a sin that defiles the unique imprint of the image of God on you as a person. Homosexuality is a superscription of σάρξ -sárks, properly, flesh (“carnal”), merely of human origin or empowerment.

Man was created with the superscription of God. From the Gospel according to eyewitness Mark, Chapter 12, vs.14-17:

“Teacher,” they said, “we know you are a man of integrity; you don’t regard anybody as special. You don’t bother about the outward show people put up; you teach God’s way truly.

“Well then: is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? Should we pay it [taxes], or shouldn’t we?”

He [Jesus] knew the game they were playing. “Why are you trying to trap me? He said. “Bring me a tribute-coin; let me look at it.”

They brought one to him.

“This image, “he asked, “whose is it? And whose is this superscription?”

“Caesar’s, they replied.

“Well then, “said Jesus, give Caesar back what belongs to Caesar-and give God back what belongs to God!”

 

What do you give back to God? Yourself. You give back to God your obedience to abstain from sexual immorality (and its promotion) in any form.

Your created image is inscribed with a God-bound conscience and not with Caesar’s image. Your created image is meant to be a temple of the Holy Spirit and not a temple for Eros and Himeros. Your created image is meant to be a tribute back to God.

Bow to Illiberal Kowtow?

On June 1, 2014 I posted Label Me In Christ.

 In that post I talked about how conversations are quickly shut down with name calling and labeling.  The Left ~ Progressives, Democrats, et al will use what ever means necessary to shut down any conversation that veers near the truth, reality or simple common sense. Below is what others are saying about the Left’s desired Utopian Caliphate ~ a place where their Sharia Law of Intolerance exists.

 

From Benjamin Weingarten’s post at The Blaze, April 14, 2014:

America’s Submission to Islam and the Censorship of the Left

  

For a free society to endure requires open and honest debate on ideas. The progressive Left claims it supports freedom of speech, but ask yourself on the following issues, are we free to talk or does the Left stifle debate:

The more areas of speech we circumscribe, the less freedom remains.

It would seem to me that what we have today, as opposed to the pluralistic and dynamic society that the American experiment requires, is totalitarianism masquerading under the banner of tolerance.

What we have today…is totalitarianism masquerading under the banner of tolerance.

What the Left’s intolerance reflects is that despite its moral relativism — a world without objective truths in which there is no such thing as good and evil — the Left believes there are judgments to be made, that certain values and ideas are superior: its own.

What separates the devils from the angels is simply whether or not you agree with them….

Yet despite the Left’s adherence to secular humanism, it finds common cause with Islamic supremacists.
