By Any “Rival Power” Means Necessary?
September 22, 2025 Leave a comment
The supercharged words “by any means necessary” entered popular culture during the civil rights movement with a 1964 Malcolm X speech.
“We declare our right on this earth to be a man, to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary.”
What does the phrase infer? Per Wikipedia:
The phrase is generally considered to mean to leave open the option of all available tactics, strategies or methods for attaining or achieving desired ends, including any form or degree of violence as well as other methods typically considered unethical or immoral. It is part of a broader political idea that radical social change or liberation cannot be obtained by limiting one’s means to that which are considered “acceptable . . . “
Fast forward to an April 17, 2025 opinion column openly and explicitly calling for a mass uprising that appeared to call for a “by any means necessary” Communist revolution. Self-described Christian and NYT’s columnist David Brooks wrote
It’s time for a comprehensive national civic uprising. It’s time for Americans in universities, law, business, nonprofits and the scientific community, and civil servants and beyond to form one coordinated mass movement. Trump is about power. The only way he’s going to be stopped is if he’s confronted by some movement that possess rival power.
The title of Brooks’ reckless manifesto: What’s Happening Is Not Normal. America Needs an Uprising That Is Not Normal.
The title should have been My Ends Justify the Means, as “rival power” could be interpreted by readers in our activist culture as all methods or actions, no matter how extreme or unconventional, should be considered acceptable in order to achieve the goal or objective of stopping Trump.
Should “civil servants”, i.e., the administrative state, overthrow democracy to “save democracy”?
Should radical revolutionary sentiments drive conniving Bolsheviks to overthrow our democratic republic for their definition of normal?
Brooks’ call for revolution ends with a phrase originating from The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels: “We have nothing to lose but our chains.” How puerile.
See What You See:
Our democracy, our republic and our freedoms were being put in chains during the Obama and Biden regimes. Obama weaponized the government against its citizens. Did Never Trumper David Brooks vote for more of the same with the Harris/Waltz ticket? Does he along with the repugnant Bill Kristol prefer the deep state over Trump? Yes.
The insurrectionist revolution Brooks’ manifesto called for is for a return to deep state “normal” where elites via the administrative state, not we the people, control every aspect of our lives – money, health, associations, thought. One of the reasons I read Russian literature is to understand tyranny. I read Brooks as advocating the use of subversive forces to bring about a return of deep state tyranny – his “normal.”
Intimidation was a key tactic Lenin used during the Red Terror, a campaign aimed at consolidating Bolshevik power through extreme violence against perceived enemies of the state. Intimidation was also used to enforce acceptance of lies.
Remember the lies and enforcement – the intimidation – surrounding COVID? Tyranny was exposed for all who have eyes to see.
We have been told to believe the lies about a “secure” 2020 election, Hunter’s laptop, and Russia Collusion, the latter meant to stop Trump by any lie necessary. Read Mollie Hemingway’s article:
The Significance of the Recently Released Russia Hoax Documents
Read my July 26, 2025 post: The Treachery Comes Out | Kingdom Venturers
The left has monopolized righteous superiority by painting their opposition as extreme, morally reprehensible, and narrow-minded. Among the most effective tactics of their movement has been storytelling. By controlling the framing of narratives, the left guaranteed that people and groups they scorned were appropriately reviled. – Leslie Corbly, America’s Turning Point
Remember this nightly news misdirection psyop from “on high” meant to distract the public from the lies used to subvert democracy, lies such as the Russia Collusion Hoax?
It should not be lost on anyone that the media, professors, and bi-coastal elites such as Brooks dispense discord and division from ‘on high’ to achieve political goals, radical social change, and power “by any means necessary.” Their framing of narratives is replicated in social media and further replicated into violence.
It should not be lost on anyone that the above never suffer the consequences of what they espouse.
Looking back at the days before the 2024 election, there was a group of Never Trumper Christians who worried out loud through various platforms that Trump, MAGA, and Christian nationalism would destroy democracy. This group included the effete NYT’s columnists David Brooks and David French, the editor-in chief of Christianity Today Russel Moore, and others of their ilk.
Each of them accepted and propagated the lie about democracy being threatened. They went out of their way to scare voters, intimidating them with propaganda posing as superior Christian insight and morality.
Condemning Context:
Consider that Brooks’ April 17th, 2025 column was written a few months after two attempts on Trump’s life during his 2024 presidential campaign (July 13, and September 15, 2024) and three months after Trump’s inauguration (Jan. 20th, 2025). Brooks seems desperate to do away with Trump and the democracy that put him in the White House.
Should his words be considered the words of an insurrectionist as they are an appeal for a group of people to take action against a sitting president and are certainly more provocative than any claim against a J6 defendant?
“by any means necessary” Manifested Motives:
The demonic chain of custody that maintains “by any means necessary” violence goes back to the day when Cain killed his brother Abel.Cain must have thought that’s the only way Abel is going to be stopped from being a living reminder of not getting the approval he thought he should have. Cain would later go off and start his own city outside the garden of Eden to live as he pleased.
Continuing the demonic chain of custody, Luigi Mangione is accused of assassinating Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, on December 4, 2024, in New York City. Mangione was furious at the health care industry so he continued the demonic chain of custody of another before him.
Mangione had an apparent fixation with the “Unabomber,” Ted Kaczynski. Investigators found an online review of his book by Mangione that they say sets out “in his view, violence can be justified to right social wrongs. Kaczynski wrote an anti-technology manifesto titled “Industrial Society and Its Future,” arguing that his violent actions (a bombing campaign) were necessary to draw attention to these issues.
David Brooks also wrote a manifesto, his encouraging an uprising to stop Trump.
Continuing the demonic chain of custody, Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old man, has been charged with the murder/assassination of Charlie Kirk. Charlie was shot while speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025
Among the details in a 10-page criminal charging document released by Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray, the charges include the allegation that Robinson targeted Kirk because of “Robinson’s belief or perception regarding Charlie Kirk’s political expression.” (His motivation sounds like Brooks’ “The only way he’s going to be stopped.”)
According to the documents Robinson’s mother stated that her son had become more political and had “started to lean more to the left – becoming more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented.” About Charlie the man and the message, Tyler Robinson thought that The only way he’s going to be stopped is if he’s confronted by some movement that possesses rival power.

“Rival power” Mercenaries?
“Rival power,” David? Do you mean an army of administrative deep state insurrectionaries who will fight against and undermine the administration of the democratically elected president? You mean a legion of federal district court judges that hinder and obstruct the EOs of an elected president? You mean the growing Marxist terrorist network in America who want to carry out a Marxist revolution on American soil?
David, do you mean Armed Queers of Salt Lake City run by Ermiya Fanaeian, the child of Iranian immigrants, whose Instagram account calls for “Revolution + Trans liberation in our lifetime!”? Ermiya openly supports the use of violence to achieve the aims of LGBTQ groups.
Per retired CIA Operations Officer Sam Faddis
Fanaeian also helped launch a student study group for the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), with a curriculum that includes names like Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin. That study group also introduced students to Marxist revolutionaries like Fidel Castro, Angela Davis, and the Black Panthers.
Did you know that
Before the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, Marxist-aligned groups operating across America to subvert the nation and collapse capitalism were already on our radar.
Honestly, for anyone paying attention, the writing was very much on the wall as the Democratic Party normalized assassination culture within part of its unhinged base by labeling political opponents “Fascists” and “Nazis” for a decade. And it wasn’t just leftist politicians; leftist corporate media outlets amplified the dangerous rhetoric, while dark-money billionaire-funded NGOs operated misinformation and disinformation propaganda campaigns in an all-out informational war to label MAGA supporters (more than half the country) as “literal Nazis.”

Apparently, using the “by any means necessary” thinking of David Brooks and Luigi Mangione and Ermiya Fanaeian and Ted Kaczynski and Malcolm X and Black Panthers and Thomas Matthew Crooks and Ryan Wesley Routh, the Socialist Rifle Association, Cain, and a host of others, we can justify anything as long as it serves our ends.

A very sad day. My sole companion for the last seventeen years died.
Last Saturday, Sept. 20th, 2025, my parrotlet Henry passed.
I brough Henry home on Oct. 11th, 2008, seven weeks after he was hatched.
He was with me for 16 years 11 months and 9 days – a normal span of life.
We had many interesting “conversations.” I mourn the loss of my little friend. God rest his soul.

The Inside Out Story
January 26, 2026 Leave a comment
“Evil intentions come from inside, out of people’s hearts.”-Jesus
In the world you will have . . . the content of their character, coming out as . . .
Cruel, intolerant, intimidating, subversive, disruptive, antagonistic, rude, lazy, overindulged, abusive, deceitful, corrupt, amoral, unlawful, power hungry, confederate, self-deceiving, addled, mentally and emotionally stunted, neurotic, narcissistic, manipulative, antisocial, psychotic, borderline psychotic, unruly, destructive, evasive, duplicitous . . . as persecution.
These traits aptly describe what comes out of the Lord-of-the-Flies Left in all of its manifestations – Democrats, Progressives, Democratic Socialists of America, ANTIF, BLM, NGOs, NGO paid protestors, MSM, and Globalists. These characteristics also describe a good many Islamists. The most recent examples of what comes out of the Left has been exhibited by Democratic governance in Minnesota, by ICE protestors, and by Somalis.
What Comes Out of Them is Deliberate Deception:
Don’t buy what comes out of the MSM (CNN, MSNOW, NYT, WaPo, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc.) about the ICE protestors and the Somali fraudsters. The so-called journalists on these ‘news’ sites are wanna-be script writers who push the content of their character onto everyone with their narrative. And like street gang members, they have a no-snitch code for their comrades in arms who go about breaking the law at every turn. It seems that the MSM’s purpose these days is to make the world bleed so it can lead with the story.
The media will deceive by framing both the law and the good guys as bad. Instead of taking in what comes out of MSM, see what you see.
And, don’t go by what comes out of the mouth of Democratic pols (Waltz, Frey, Ellison). With the aid of mother media, they cover their asses just like anyone under investigation on the real-life crime shows.
To wit: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, on ABC’s “This Week” characterized the violent confrontations – the riots, assaults, and lawlessness – targeting federal immigration agents in his city as an expression of “love.”
Minneapolis. January 7. Renee Nicole Good, as an expression of “love” and encouraged by what came out of the mouth of her lesbian lover, directed her vehicle into an ICE agent. She was shot as the agent defended himself against being crushed. (MADD would certainly agree that a vehicle is a deadly weapon.) Sponsored activist mob mayhem followed as an expression of “love.”
Minneapolis. Sunday, January 18th. More organized mayhem. A mob, led by Black Lives Matter organizers and encouraged by a video posted on social media, stormed into an area church during a service. Inside the sanctuary of Cities Church, agitators loudly chanted “Justice for Renee Good.”
See what you see when Don Lemon and ‘Sanctuary City’ Radicals Invade Minneapolis Church.
On Sunday, Don Lemon and a group of radical, anti-ICE left-wing extremists stormed a Minneapolis church. They barreled into a house of worship while families with young children were praying and proceeded to harass and intimidate congregants based on supposed “intel” that someone connected to the church had ties to ICE.
WHOOPS: Don Lemon’s live stream is a goldmine of evidence against him… – Revolver News
With displays of ersatz moral sanctimony, the Machine politics of Left destroys people and their place in the world and their past and their sacred space, their house of prayer. What comes out of the Left is not “love”. What comes out of the wild boar Left is grunting, posturing, and bristling followed by picking fights to see who is the stronger.
What Comes Out of Them is Stupid
When the Pharisees confronted Jesus about his disciples eating with unwashed hands, he responded to their desire to harass him and his disciples about the performative ritual purity they were so concerned with. He got under their skin when he said . . .
“What makes someone unclean,” Jesus went on, “is what comes out. Evil intentions come from inside, out of people’s hearts – sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, treachery, debauchery, envy, slander, pride, stupidity. These evil things all come from inside. They are what make someone unclean.” Mark 7:20-23
Note that stupidity is on the list of evil intentions. The stupid act without sense. In the matter at hand, the stupid ramp up their violence-instigating rhetoric because they simply are not able to discuss or persuade – they lack sense. Force is all they have left, and they will use it. And so it is that the NGO paid army of activists, agitators and provocateurs – useful idiots all – descend into savagery that a mayor describes as acts of brotherly “love.”
Rory Miller, “a corrections officer and sergeant working booking, maximum security, and mental health units” and “trained corrections and enforcement officers, primarily in force-related skills… and force policy” wrote in his book Force Decisions: A Citizen’s Guide that . . .
“If you have to be defiant, don’t be stupid about it. Argue, if you absolutely have to, but show the officer your hands. If the officer says, “Show me your hands!” and you say, “No,” you have given the officer no choice but to assume that you have a weapon ready to deploy. This is so stupid—right up there with checking for gas leaks with matches—it shouldn’t even need to be said, but it happens. Being defiant about something stupid can escalate a verbal situation to deadly force for childish, immature ego.”
“If the officer ever uses the magic phrase, ‘For your safety and mine, I need you to…’ do it. That is a solid signal that the officer perceives this as an issue of safety, and the officer will absolutely use force if you do not comply.” (Emphasis mine.)
A Citizen’s Guide to Violence in Minneapolis › American Greatness
What Comes Out of Them is Lawlessness
Richard Lawson at The Free Press writes Sanctuary Cities are Built on Shaky Law:
Federal law makes it a crime to “encourage” illegal immigration, which is exactly what Tim Walz and Jacob Frey are doing.
The Supreme Court recently clarified that federal law is violated when a person provides “assistance to a wrongdoer with the intent to further an offense’s commission.” It is also unlawful to knowingly act in support of illegal aliens residing in the U.S., or even to conspire to help them remain here.
(Emphasis mine.)
Democratic governors and mayors in Minnesota, Oregon and Illinois have gone so far as to actively enable the chaos by withdrawing police protection. And, Dem Leaders Move to Block Funding for ICE, DHS.
Fools escalate violent rhetoric:
Dem AG Suggests People Can Shoot Masked ICE Agents Under Stand-Your-Ground Laws.
April 17, 2025, Columnist David Brooks of the NYT wrote an opinion column openly and explicitly called for a mass uprising alluding to a Communist revolution.
Headline USA writes:
“Agitators aren’t just targeting our officers. Now they’re targeting churches, too,” the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency stated. “They’re going from hotel to hotel, church to church, hunting for federal law enforcement who are risking their lives to protect Americans. (Emphasis mine.)
The ordained reverend “Nekima Levy Armstrong, who participated in the protest and leads the local grassroots civil rights organization Racial Justice Network, dismissed the potential DOJ investigation as a sham.
“When you think about the federal government unleashing barbaric ICE agents upon our community and all the harm that they have caused, to have someone serving as a pastor who oversees these ICE agents, is almost unfathomable to me,” said Armstrong.
ICE should not back down one iota no matter the threats or moral posturing against them. All illegal invaders must go home. President Trump will be justified to invoke the Insurrection Act.
The Trump administration is working to clean up the horrible mess the four years of the illegitimate Biden regime created. That mess includes the 20-30 million illegal invaders that are taking jobs and taxpayer money and bringing in the content of their character.
Understand, the invasion was done on purpose to destroy the U.S. There is much more going on here than meets the fixated eye. You won’t get this understanding from the talking heads of MSM. They are in on it. The immigrants were sent here to destroy the U.S.
Read the newly published The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon by Peter Schweizer.
No Christian should be swayed by MSM or by Progressive Christianity’s “Welcome the stranger” social justice tactics. No Christian should be muddled in their thinking about legal mass deportations.

In the world you will have . . . the content of their character – fraudulent Islamists enabled by Democrats.
The amount of fraudulent billing in Minnesota’s Medicaid programs could be as high as $9 billion, Assistant United States Attorney Joe Thompson said Dec. 18.
The ADL’d – the Machine combine of America and Democracy Last – don’t seem to care that the Minnesota Somali fraudsters stole billions of taxpayer dollars to spend on themselves and to send to Somalia. The Somalis were enabled by Democratic governance with its (purposeful?) lack of oversight in Minnesota and other Blues states.
What struck me most about the Minnesota case was not only the scale of the theft but the silence surrounding it. The fraud appears to have operated in plain sight within tightly knit circles, yet few people spoke out. . .
According to federal indictments, the stolen money flowed through networks bound by kinship and loyalty. The theft was large, coordinated, and sustained. What stood out was not only who took the money, but who stayed silent. In societies with strong civic norms, whistleblowing is often praised, or at least protected. In tightly bound clan systems, speaking out can mean punishment.
High-trust societies solve this dilemma by extending cooperation beyond family and tribe. Laws, institutions, and norms reinforce the idea that cheating ultimately harms everyone, including oneself. Low-trust societies work differently. Trust is reserved for kin. Outsiders are assumed to cheat. In that environment, cheating is not necessarily immoral. It is often rational, expected, and even applauded.

Concerned about the content of his older brother’s character, Russian playwright, short-story writer, and doctor Anton Chekhov (26), wrote a letter of advice to Nikolai (28), a talented painter, writer, and alcoholic. In 1886, Chekhov writes:
“To my mind, civilized people ought to satisfy the following conditions:
1. They respect the individual and are therefore always indulgent, gentle, polite and compliant. They do not throw a tantrum over a hammer or a lost eraser. When they move in with somebody, they do not act as if they were doing him a favor, and when they move out, they do not say, “How can anyone live with you!” …
2. Their compassion extends beyond beggars and cats. They are hurt even by things the naked eye can’t see. If for instance, Pyotr knows that his father and mother are turning gray and losing sleep over seeing their Pyotr so rarely (and seeing him drunk when he does turn up), then he rushes home to them and sends his vodka to the devil….
3. They respect the property of others and therefore pay their debts.
4. They are candid and fear lies like the plague. They do not lie even about the most trivial matters. A lie insults the listener and debases him in the liar’s eyes. They don’t put on airs, they behave in the street as they do at home, and they do not try to dazzle their inferiors. They know how to keep their mouths shut and they do not force uninvited confidences on people. Out of respect for the ears of others they are more often silent than not.
5. They do not belittle themselves merely to arouse sympathy. They do not play on people’s heartstrings to get them to sigh and fuss over them. They do not say, “No one understands me!” or “I’ve squandered my talent on trifles!” because this smacks of a cheap effect and is vulgar, false and out-of-date.
6. They are not preoccupied with vain things. They are not taken in by such false jewels as friendships with celebrities, handshakes with drunken Plevako, ecstasy over the first person they happen to meet at the Salon de Varietes, popularity among the tavern crowd….
7. If they have talent, they respect it. They sacrifice comfort, women, wine and vanity to it….
8. They cultivate their aesthetic sensibilities. They cannot stand to fall asleep fully dressed, see a slit in the wall teeming with bedbugs, breathe rotten air, walk on a spittle-laden floor or eat off a kerosene stove. They try their best to tame and ennoble their sexual instinct…
And so on. That’s how civilized people act. If you want to be civilized and not fall below the level of the milieu you belong to, it is not enough to read The Pickwick Papers and memorize a soliloquy from Faust. It is not enough to hail a cab and drive off to Yakimanka Street if all you’re going to do is bolt out again a week later.
You must work at it constantly, day and night. You must never stop reading, studying in depth, exercising your will. Every hour is precious.”

In past articles I have tried to plead with conservatives to recognize that these activists are NOT sincere fellow citizens engaging in legitimate protest. They are a mercenary army paid to go to war. I’ll say it once again: WE ARE AT WAR. We need to start acting like it.
When there are no consequences for bad behavior, bad behavior will escalate into violence and chaos. It’s important to understand that the political left is made up largely of people who are emotionally stunted. They are toddlers trapped in adult bodies.
