Cornwallis surrenders at Yorktown October 19, 1781

Published October 19, 2026 | By campconstitution

On this day in 1781, British General Charles Cornwallis formally surrenders 8,000 British soldiers and seamen to a French and American force at Yorktown, Virginia, bringing the American Revolution to a close.

Previously, Cornwallis had driven General George Washington’s Patriot forces out of New Jersey in 1776, and led his Recoats in victory over General Horatio Gates and the Patriots at Camden, South Carolina, in 1780. His subsequent invasion of North Carolina was less successful, however, and in April 1781, he led his weary and battered troops toward the Virginia coast, where he could maintain seaborne lines of communication with the large British army of General Henry Clinton in New York City. After conducting a series of raids against towns and plantations in Virginia, Cornwallis settled in Yorktown in August. The British immediately began fortifying the town and the adjacent promontory of Gloucester Point across the York River 

Washington instructed the Marquis de Lafayette, who was in Virginia with an American army of around 5,000 men, to block Cornwallis’ escape from Yorktown by land. In the meantime, Washington’s 2,500 troops in New York were joined by a French army of 4,000 men under the Count de Rochambeau. Washington and Rochambeau made plans to attack Cornwallis with the assistance of a large French fleet under the Count de Grasse, and on August 21 they crossed the Hudson River to march south to Yorktown. Covering 200 miles in 15 days, the allied force reached the head of Chesapeake Bay in early September.

Meanwhile, a British fleet under Admiral Thomas Graves failed to break French naval superiority at the Battle of Virginia Capes on September 5, denying Cornwallis his expected reinforcements. Beginning September 14, de Grasse transported Washington and de Rochambeau’s men down the Chesapeake to Virginia, where they joined Lafayette and completed the encirclement of Yorktown on September 28. De Grasse landed another 3,000 French troops carried by his fleet. During the first two weeks of October, the 14,000 Franco-American troops gradually overcame the fortified British positions with the aid of de Grasse’s warships. A large British fleet carrying 7,000 men set out to rescue Cornwallis, but it was too late.

On October 19, General Cornwallis surrendered 7,087 officers and men, 900 seamen, 144 cannons, 15 galleys, a frigate and 30 transport ships. Pleading illness, he did not attend the surrender ceremony, but his second-in-command, General Charles O’Hara, carried Cornwallis’ sword to the American and French commanders. As the British and Hessian troops marched out to surrender, the British band played the song “The World Turned Upside Down.”

Although the war persisted on the high seas and in other theaters, the Patriot victory at Yorktown effectively ended fighting in the American colonies. Peace negotiations began in 1782, and on September 3, 1783, the Treaty of Paris was signed, formally recognizing the United States as a free and independent nation after eight years of war.

Happy Columbus Day: American Minute with Bill Federer Columbus thought Earth’s Circumference smaller: Miscalculation of Global Proportions

Published October 12, 2026 | By campconstitution

 
Read American Minute

A biography of Columbus was written by Washington Irving in 1828, titled A History of the Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus.

In it, Irving created an imaginative dialogue of Europeans arguing over whether the Earth was round or flat.

His book was so popular, that people actually thought such a debate took place when it had not … continue reading …

Washington Irving was known for mixing entertainment with history and legend.

He wrote Rip Van Winkle, The Legend of Sleepy Hallow, and Diedrich Knickerbocker’s A History of New-York from the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty, filled with tales of visits from St. Nick coining to New York City, which he nickname “Gotham.”

Europeans knew the Earth was round.

Pythagoras had speculated that the earth was a sphere in the 6th century BC, and Aristotle validated it in the 4th century BC.

In the 3rd century BC, Eratosthenes computed the circumference of the earth with amazing accuracy.

He had heard that at Aswan, Egypt, the sun cast no shadow down a well at noon on the summer solstice, June 21, yet at the exact same moment in Alexandria, Egypt, a column cast a shadow with a 7.2 degree angle.

7.2 degrees is 1/50th of a 360 degree circle.

It was known that the distance between Alexandria and Aswan was 5,000 stadia, approximately 500 miles, or 800 kilometers.

All Eratosthenes had to do was multiply 500 miles times 50, which equals 25,000 miles, just 99 miles off from the Earth’s actual circumference of 24,901 miles (or 800 km x 50 to equal 40,000 kilometers, just 75 kilometers less than the actual 40,075 km circumference).

Eratosthenes also calculated distance to the sun and moon, the tilt of the earth, and created the first world map with parallel latitude and meridian longitude lines.

In the 1st century BC, Posidonius used stellar observations at Alexandria and Rhodes to confirm Eratosthenese’s measurements.

In the 2nd century AD, astronomer Ptolemy had written a Guide to Geography, in which he described a spherical earth with one ocean connecting Europe and Asia.

St. Isidore of Seville, Spain, wrote in the 7th century that the earth was round.

Around the year 723 AD, Saint Bede the Venerable wrote in his work Reckoning of Time that the Earth was spherical.

The Book of Isaiah 40:22 states:

“It is He that sitteth upon the globe of the earth.” (Douay-Rheims Bible)

Columbus sought a SEA route to India and China because nearly 39 years earlier Muslim Turks cut off the LAND routes when then conquered Constantinople in 1453.

He knew the Earth was round, but the question was, how far around.

The confusion was over the length of a mile.

What Every American Needs to Know About the Qur’an-A History of Islam & the United States

Columbus read Cardinal Pierre d’Ailly’s “Imago Mundi,” which gave Alfraganus’ estimate that a degree of latitude (at the equator) was around 56.7 miles.

What Columbus did not realize was that this was expressed in longer Arabic miles rather than in shorter Roman miles.

Therefore Columbus incorrectly estimated the Earth to be smaller in circumference, about 19,000 miles, rather than the actual nearly 24,901 miles.

Columbus knew there was land to the west, as he may have read Ptolemy’s account, written in 150 AD, of the Greek sailor named Alexander, who visited the Far East port city of Kattigara, beyond the Malay Peninsula (Golden Chersonese).

He could have heard of the Roman traveler, during the reign of Roman Emperors Antoninus Pius or Marcus Aurelius, who made his way to the court of the Chinese Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Indeed, Roman glassware and medallions dating from this period were found at Guangzhou along the South China Sea, and at Óc Eo in Vietnam, near the Chinese province of Jiaozhi.

Great amounts of Roman coins were found in India, indicating there was Roman sea trade.

Columbus most likely heard the story of Irish monk St. Brendan, who sailed west in 530 AD to “The Land of the Promised Saints which God will give us on the last day.”

Columbus would have known of the Christian Viking Leif Erickson’s voyage in the year 1000 to Vinland (Newfoundland), called Markland in the Nordic Grœnlendinga Saga.

A Dominican friar in Milan, Italy, named Galvaneus Flamma, wrote an essay titled Cronica universalis, c.1345, in which he referred to the Icelandic description of a wooded land far to the west called Marckalada.

Columbus owned a copy of Marco Polo’s travels to China and India in 1271.

He studied Pliny’s “Natural History,” Sir John Mandeville, and Pope Pius II’s “Historia Rerum Ubique Gestarum.”

There were accounts that after the Crusades had ended, some Swedes in 1362 sailed to Greenland, and possibly beyond to North America, being the alleged background for the Kensington Runestone.

Columbus may have possibly seen maps, rumored to have been in Portugal’s royal archives, from China’s treasure fleets which were sent out in 1421 by Ming Emperor Zhu Di, led by Admiral Zheng He.

Columbus corresponded with Florentine physician Paolo dal Pozzo Toscanelli, who suggested China was just 5,000 miles west of Portugal.

Based on this, Columbus estimated that Japan, or as Marco Polo called it “Cipangu,” was only 3,000 Roman miles west of the Canary Islands, rather than the actual 12,200 miles.

Since no ship at that time could carry enough food and water for such a long voyage, Columbus would have never set sail if he had known the actual distance.

As a young man, Columbus began sailing on a trip to a Genoese colony in the Aegean Sea named Chios.

In 1476, he sailed on an armed convoy from Genoa to northern Europe, docking in Bristol, England, and Galway, Ireland, and even possibly Iceland in 1477.

When Muslim Turks conquered Constantinople in 1453 and hindered land trade routes from Europe to India and China, Portugal, which had been freed from Islamic occupation for two centuries, began to search for alternative sea routes.

W.L. Grant, Professor of Colonial History, Queens University, Kingston, Ontario, wrote in the introduction of The Voyages and Explorations of Samuel de Champlain (published 1911, The Courier Press, A.S. Barnes Company):

“The history of Western Civilization begins in a conflict with the Orient, a conflict of which it maybe the end is not yet.

But the routes between East and West have been trodden by the caravans of trade more often even than by the feet of armies.

The treasures of the East were long brought overland to Alexandria, or Constantinople, or the cities of the Levant, and thence distributed to Europe by the galleys of Genoa or of Venice.

But when the Turk placed himself astride the Bosporus, and made Egypt his feudatory, new routes had to be found.”

Socialist historian Howard Zinn admitted in A People’s History of the United States (1980):

“Now that the Turks had conquered Constantinople and the eastern Mediterranean, and controlled the land routes to Asia, a sea route was needed.

Portuguese sailors were working their way around the southern tip of Africa.

Spain decided to gamble on a long sail across an unknown ocean.”

Portugal, under Prince Henry the Navigator, led the world in the science of navigation and cartography (map-making), and developed a light ship that could travel fast and far, the “caravel.”

During Portugal’s Golden Age of Discovery under King John II, Columbus sailed along the west coast of Africa between 1482-1485, reaching the Portuguese trading port of Elmina on the coast of Guinea.

In 1498, Portuguese sailor Vasco de Gama did make it around South Africa to India.

But six years before that, in 1492, the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella defeated Muhammad XII of Granada and drove the last of the Islamic Nasrid Dynasty out of Spain.

The Spanish Monarchs then joined the quest for a sea trade route to the India and China.

They backed Columbus’ plan.

Though Columbus was wrong about the miles and degrees of longitude, he did understand trade winds across the Atlantic.

On August 3, 1492, Columbus set sail on the longest voyage to that date out of the sight of land.

Trade winds called “easterlies” pushed Columbus’ ships for five weeks to the Bahamas.

On OCTOBER 12, 1492, Columbus sighted what he thought was India.

He imagined Haiti was Japan and Cuba was the tip of China.

He called the first island he saw “San Salvador” for the Holy Savior.

W.L. Grant continued in the introduction of The Voyages

and Explorations of Samuel de Champlain (1911, The Courier Press, A.S. Barnes Co.):

“In the search for these were made the three greatest voyages in history, those of Columbus, of Vasco da Gama, and greatest of all of Magellan.

In his search for the riches of Cipangu (Japan), Columbus stumbled upon America.

The great Genoese lived and died under the illusion that he had reached the outmost verge of Asia; and though even in his lifetime men realized that what he had found was no less than a new world.”

In his journal, Columbus referred to the native inhabitants as “indians” as he was convinced he had successfully arrived in India:

“So that they might be well-disposed towards us, for I knew that they were a people to be … converted to our Holy Faith rather by love than by force, I gave to some red caps and to others glass beads …

They became so entirely our friends that … I believe that they would easily be made Christians.”

Pastor Fired From Library Due To “Inclusivity Policy”

Published October 6, 2026 | By campconstitution

The following is a news release from our friends at Liberty Counsel:

BATON ROUGE, LA – Liberty Counsel filed a response brief in federal court on behalf of bi-vocational Pastor Luke Ash opposing a motion from the City of Baton Rouge to dismiss his religious discrimination case. Ash was unlawfully fired from the East Baton Rouge Parish Library in July 2025 for refusing to lie and use false male pronouns to refer to a female coworker. Pastor Ash contends that the library’s “Inclusivity Policy” requiring such usage violated his First Amendment religious rights and that the library failed to engage in the Title VII religious accommodation process before firing him.

The lawsuit states this is viewpoint discrimination for “disqualifying” a person’s religious beliefs from protection and employment. Ash is asking the court to deny the dismissal motion so his case can move forward to the discovery phase and trial.

Ash is also seeking a permanent injunction that declares the library’s “Inclusivity Policy” as unconstitutional for violating his rights of free speech, religious exercise, equal protection, the Louisiana Preservation of Religious Freedom Act, as well as his religious protections under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The lawsuit also requests that the court order the library to reinstate Pastor Ash to his prior position, restore his benefits, and award backpay, damages, and attorney’s fees and costs.


Pastor Luke Ash

In July 2025, a coworker asked Pastor Ash whether he would use male pronouns for a biological female trainee. As a Christian minister, Pastor Ash holds religious beliefs that biological sex is immutable and that being complicit in a known lie would compromise those convictions, and so he told the coworker that he could not do so. Shortly thereafter, his supervisors reiterated that the “Inclusivity Policy” states “all employees have the right to be addressed by their chosen name and pronouns.” When questioned, Pastor Ash told his supervisors that he was not going to lie and needed an accommodation.

Later that month, his supervisors informed him that he was being terminated because his religious beliefs were incompatible with employment at the library.

In addition to the city and the East Baton Rouge Parish Library, the lawsuit also names the Metropolitan Council and the Library Board of Control for the City of East Baton Rouge.

Now, the defendants argue Ash has sued too many parties that do not need to be in the lawsuit. The motion seeks to remove East Baton Rouge Mayor-President Sid Edwards, Library Director Katrine Stokes, the Metropolitan Council and its Mayor-Pro Tempore Brandon Noel, and the Library Board of Control and its President Candace Temple. The defendants seek to narrow the case’s defendants to the City of Baton Rouge and Parish of East Baton Rouge arguing it is redundant to name individual officials in their official capacities since they are already legally encompassed within the city government and a lawsuit against them is effectively the same as a lawsuit against the city itself. The defendants also dispute whether they can be sued since they are not independent entities.

However, Liberty Counsel argues in its response that redundancy is not a valid basis for dismissal at the pleading stage and that all named defendants may be necessary to provide Ash’s requested relief. Ash states that the “Inclusivity Policy” was the moving force behind the violations of his constitutional rights and that each individual defendant in their official capacity played a policymaking or enforcement role related to that policy.

Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “The City of East Baton Rouge Parish Library and all officials involved in the enforcement of the “Inclusivity Policy’ violated the U.S. Constitution and Louisiana law for requiring Pastor Ash to refer to a female employee by masculine pronouns and then firing him for upholding his religious beliefs. The library also violated Title VII for not even considering a religious accommodation for Pastor Ash. There is no compelling interest in requiring Pastor Ash to lie or affirm false sex-based pronouns. Employers cannot force people to choose between their faith and their livelihood.”

Should Christians Support Education Without God? by Samuel L. Blumenfeld (The Weekly Sam)

Published October 3, 2026 | By campconstitution

Back in 1849, when the organized Protestants of Massachusetts
debated whether or not to support the public school movement, which was
then being heavily promoted by the Unitarians, they decided in favor of
support, but with well-expressed conditions. They wrote:

“The benefits of this system, in offering instruction to all, are so many and so great
that its religious deficiencies,–especially since they can be otherwise supplied, do not
seem to be a sufficient reason for abandoning it, and adopting in place of it, a system
of denominational parochial schools ….
It is however a great evil to withdraw from the established system of common
schools, the interest and influence of the religious part of the community. On the
whole, it seems to be the wisest course, at least for the present, to do all in our power
to perfect as far as it can be done, not only its intellectual, but also its moral and
religious character.
If after a full and faithful experiment, it should at last be seen that fidelity to the
religious interests of our children forbids a further patronage of the system, we can
unite with the Evangelical Christians in the establishment of private schools, in which
more full doctrinal religious instruction may be possible.

But, until we are forced to this result, it seems to us desirable that the religious
community do all in their power to give an opportunity for a full and fair experiment of
the existing system, including not only the common schools, but also the Normal
Schools and the Board of Education.”

I don’t believe that any Christian can doubt that there has been a “full
and fair experiment” of public education for the last 150 years and that its
fidelity to the religious interests of Christian children has been proven to be
decidedly negative. In fact, thousands of Christian parents, without
knowledge of what was written in 1849, have already taken their children
out of the public schools and either decided to homeschool them or place
them in Christian schools. Their responsibilities as Christian parents have
led them to make the necessary decision for the sake of their children’s
spiritual wellbeing.

But what is disturbing is that most Christians still patronize a system
that is undermining the religious beliefs of their children. One wonders what
must happen before these parents realize the harm they are doing to their
children by keeping them in the public schools.

The simple fact is that the present government education system has
as its foundation an anti-Christian philosophy known as secular humanism.
All one has to do is read the Humanist Manifestos I and II to confi rm the
truth of this assertion. Humanist Manifesto I was written in 1933 by young
Unitarian ministers who believed that the spiritual power of orthodox
religion was in decline and should be replaced by a rational, man-centered,
nontheistic religion. They wrote:

“Humanism asserts that the nature of the universe depicted by modern science
makes unacceptable any supernatural or cosmic guarantees of human values ….
Religious humanism considers the complete realization of human personality to be the
end of man’s life and seeks its development and fulfillment in the here and now. .. .
Religious humanism maintains that all associations and institutions exist for the
fulfillment of human life. The intelligent evaluation, transformation, control, and
direction of such associations and institutions with a view to the enhancement of
human life is the purpose and program of humanism. Certainly religious institutions,
their ritualistic forms, ecclesiastical methods, and communal activities must be
reconstituted as rapidly as experience allows, in order to function effectively in the
modern world.”

Humanism is the only religion in America that has as its purpose and
program the reconstitution of the institutions, rituals, and ecclesiastical
methods of other religions. This is an overt declaration of war against
Biblical religion. Forty years later, Humanist Manifesto II states:

“As non-theists, we begin with humans not God, nature not deity. [W]e can
discover no divine purpose or providence for the human species …. No deity will save
us; we must save ourselves.”

In the January/February 1983 issue of The Humanist magazine, a
young scholar by the name of John J. Dunphy expressed exactly what the
aim of humanists is in education:

“I am convinced that the battle for humankind’s future must be waged and won in
the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the
proselytizers of a new faith: a religion of humanity that recognizes and respects the
spark of what theologians call divinity in every human being. These teachers must
embody the same selfless dedication as the most rabid fundamentalist preachers, for
they will be ministers of another sort, utilizing a classroom instead of a pulpit to convey

humanist values in whatever subject they teach, regardless of educational level-
preschool day care or large state university. The classroom must and will become an
arena of conflict between the old and the new–the rotting corpse of Christianity,
together with its adjacent evils and misery, and the new faith of humanism, resplendent
in its promise of a world in which the never-realized Christian ideal of ‘love thy
neighbor’ will finally be achieved.

The humanist war against Christianity is going on everyday in the
classrooms of America. But the real battle is being fought in the courtrooms
of the nation. In March 1987, U.S. District Judge W. Brevard Hand ruled in
Smith v. Board of School Commissioners of Mobile County. Alabama that
the public school curriculum was based on the tenets of secular humanism,
and he thereby ordered that humanist textbooks to be removed from the
schools. Five months later this ruling was overturned by the Eleventh
Circuit Court which stated that “none of these books convey a message of
government approval of secular humanism.”

In other words, humanists are free to teach their dogma in the public
schools as long as the government does not convey a message of
approval. But that is the argument used to keep Christianity out. It is said
that the mere inclusion of anything Christian in a public school curriculum
automatically implies government approval.

The notion that public schools are neu!tral when it comes to religion is
belied by the strong prejudice against Christianity as openly expressed by
such humanists as John Dunphy. What we have is not neutrality but
warfare. Until Christians recognize that the government schools are
establishments of religion, and that education is fundamentally a religious
activity, we shall not be able to deal realistically with our educational crisis.

The message for Christian parents must be loud and clear: putting a
child in a public school violates God’s commandment as given in
Deuteronomy 6 to educate a child in the love and admonition of the Lord.
There is no substitute for a godly education. In place of God, the public
schools offer evolution, sex education, death education, multiculturalism,
transcendental meditation, situational ethics, drug education, and other
forms of humanist teachings. These are the programs that are creating the
new nihilist, amoral barbarians that are devastating the lives of thousands
of parents.

There is hardly a Christian family that has not lost a child to the
satanic culture that grows in the public school environment.
If Christians wish to restore America as a nation under God, they shall
have to educate their children in schools that revere Him .•

The Weekly Sam: Public Schools Are a Form of Socialism-

Published September 23, 2026 | By campconstitution

This is a short video clip of Sam Blumenfeld being interviewed in the documentary “IndoctriNation:

“IndoctriNation” is a feature length documentary film that takes the audience on a panoramic exploration of one of the most important and controversial issues in the history of mankind, the issue of education.

Traveling all over America with his family in a big yellow school bus and conducting a series of candid conversational interviews, Colin Gunn, a Scottish filmmaker, actor, and homeschool father of seven children living in Texas, is on a quest to discover the origins of our modern educational system.

What he discovers is a masterful design that sought to replace God’s recipe for training up the next generation with a humanistic, man-centered program that fragmented the family and undermined the influence of the Church and its Great Commission.

Part documentary, part testimonial — a confessional and a rebuke, this film is above all a challenge and an encouragement to millions of Christians who need to know what history, experience, and the Scriptures have to say about what is perhaps the pivotal issue of our time: the discipleship and training of the next generation.  https://www.indoctrinationmovie.com/about-us/

 

Ask an Ex-Trans Anything: A Presentation by David Arthur

Published September 19, 2026 | By campconstitution

 

 

On September 17, 2026, Camp Constitution hosted David Arthur at the Lane House in Lexington, MA.

 

 

From his website https://www.ibelongamen.com/

The LORD has allowed David to obtain a very powerful testimony of deliverance and healing from a life darker than most of you can imagine. He endured molestation, sex-trafficking, prostitution, rape, gender confusion, homosexuality, and every kind of sexual addiction and perversion, along with alcohol, drugs, gambling, and more. 

Sexually abused from a very young age, he became a sex addict before puberty. The trauma left him drowning in gender dysphoria—the very “suicidal trans kid” so often held up to promote the transqueer agenda. He overdosed at 13 not caring if he ended the misery or not. He then ran away into prostitution, and contracted HIV/AIDS at 14. David also began wrong-sex hormones at age 14. In and out of juvenile detention, county jails, psych wards, and state prison, he finally lay on his deathbed by age 37.

In 2009 the doctors gave him less than three months to live. Full-blown AIDS had destroyed his immune system. The infections raged through his brain and his blood. Progressive osteoporosis, diabetes, and a host of mental diagnoses left him broken. Hospice came into his home. As his body weakened in that hospital bed, raw fear seized him—he was terrified to die because he knew hell was real and he deserved it. In desperation he cried out to GOD and suddenly understood: GOD was not cruelly sending him to hell; HE was simply honoring the choices David had made to go there. David opened a Bible, came under deep conviction, and spent weeks repenting and pleading to become a child of the FATHER.

Then one morning, still in excruciating pain, an incredible Peace flooded him—what he calls his “Moment of Grace.” In that instant he was free: free of gender confusion, free of the sexual, emotional, and physical addictions and strongholds, free of the weight of sin. He still believed he was dying, yet he was no longer afraid to die. He began praying that even through his death others would come to know the Truth.

Within weeks the miracle unfolded. His bones grew stronger. He stood up straight—something he had not done in nearly two years—and walked without the walker he had depended on. Doctors reported the diabetes was “mysteriously not present,” the HIV/AIDS virus was no longer detectable, and his immune system had returned full force. Chronic major depression, bipolar, anxiety, PTSD, and every other diagnosis were simply gone. But GOD!

David’s call is to tell of this freedom from addictions, strongholds, and habits—and how, in the process, GOD gave him crystal clarity that he was created male and could never change that. It was his circumstances and trauma that had twisted a natural longing for male validation into same-sex attraction. Telling of GOD’S amazing work in, with, and through his life is the first goal. 

The second goal is to expose the lgbtq+ transqueer agenda for the cult that it is. Many detransitioners and ex-gays stop short of the whole story. David’s burden is to speak the Truth as often and as clearly as he possibly can. Even knowing that the truth he exposes will isolate him from the majority of the church, and society! 

He has stumbled. He even tried for a short time to live as a “gay Christian.” But GOD showed him it is impossible to claim any false identity and walk in right relationship with HIM. Hallelujah—he has been rescued from the cesspools of gender dysphoria and all the lust-filled activity of homosexuality and other perversions and addictions. The FATHER has taught him how to minister to those still trapped in the deceptions of same-sex attraction and gender dysphoria.

“All the glory goes to GOD alone—all of HIM, none of me.” ~ David’s popular quote.

Same-sex attraction is not part of our design; it is an addiction that appeals to our fallen, broken nature. You cannot identify as anything other than what GOD created you to be and still walk rightly with HIM.

Yes, David carries a very dark past. Crimes still try to taunt him, but they can hold no power. He has been washed clean and made a new creature so that this testimony can give others hope. Trying to use that past against him is like breaking into an old home he no longer lives in—he doesn’t live there and those are not his things.

For more than 30 years David was immersed in the lgbtq+ transqueer cult, living as a transgender woman for 20 years. Outwardly he appeared to be an advocate living his “best life now.” Inwardly the confusion, depression, and suicidal thoughts never left. Transition and affirmation never healed the root trauma; they only masked it while causing irreversible damage. But GOD!! HE broke through. Through a radical encounter with JESUS The CHRIST, David found real freedom and his true identity—not in feelings, but in The CHRIST alone.

 

Now, through IBA Ministries and his testimony in the documentary Fire and Brimstone, he reaches out with a burning heart to help others escape the same deception and find the deliverance that saved him. He also gives a lot of time to exposing the lgbtq transqueer cult’s agenda because you cannot get involved if you do not get informed.

 

David’s life story is both heartbreaking and profoundly hopeful; it is a raw, unfiltered warning from someone who walked the full length of the road that so many young people are being encouraged to take today.

His journey began in childhood: targeted, groomed, molested, abused, sex-trafficked, and eventually led into drugs, prostitution, wrong-sex hormones at 14, HIV/AIDS diagnosis that same year, sterility by 20, osteoporosis before 30, and a life that left him registered as a sex offender due to the very system that victimized him.

Everyone around him thought he was living as his ‘true self.’ The truth was far darker: transition and affirmation never healed the root trauma—they only masked it, while causing irreversible physical, mental and spiritual damage.

​But GOD!

The first time was on SEPTEMBER 11, 1565.
Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent dominated the Mediterranean, with intentions of not only invading Sicily, Sardinia, Majorca, and southern Spain, but Rome itself.
The only thing standing in his way was the small rocky Island of Malta just south of Sicily, defended by the Knights of Malta.
In March of 1565, Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent sent Algerian Admiral Dragut to Malta with 200 ships and 40,000 Muslim soldiers, including 6,500 elite Janissary troops.
Dragut stated:
“Unless you have smoked out this nest of vipers, you can do no good anywhere.”
Queen Elizabeth I of England is said to have remarked:
“If the Turks should prevail against the Isle of Malta, it is uncertain what further peril might follow to the rest of Christendom.”
The Knights of Malta were led by a 70 year old Frenchmen, Jean Parisot de la Valette.
Pleas for reinforcements went out across Europe, but defense seemed futile.
La Valette addressed his men:
“A formidable army composed of audacious barbarians is descending on this island. These persons, my brothers, are the enemies of Jesus Christ …”
He continued:
“… Today it is a question of the defense of our faith — as to whether the Gospels are to be superseded by the Koran.
God on this occasion demands of us our lives, already vowed to his service. Happy will be those who first consummate this sacrifice.”
The Turks attacked again and again, even reducing one of their fortresses to rubble, but the Knights kept fighting, resolved to save Western Civilization.
Finally, Dragut was killed and the Muslims sailed away on SEPTEMBER 11, 1565.
The second time Islamic expansion was stopped on that date was SEPTEMBER 11, 1683.
Sultan Mehmed IV sent over 138,000 Muslim Ottoman Turks to surround Vienna, Austria, led by General Mustafa Pasha.
For two months they starved the 11,000 Hapsburg-Austrian defenders.
Sultan Mehmed IV sent the message to Austrian King, Leopold I:
“Await us in your residence … so we can decapitate you.”
Polish King Jan Sobieski gathered 81,000 Polish, Austrian and German troops and led a surprise attack on SEPTEMBER 11, 1683.
They made one of the largest charges in history, 38,350 cavalry and dragoons.
Soldiers had made wings for their backs which made a thunderous noise when they charged, causing the Turks to flee in confusion.
Upon entering the abandoned Turkish tents, Sobieski found bags of beans – coffee beans – revealing how Turks could fight day and night.
The beans came from Ethiopia, the one African country which stayed Christian, and the Muslims called them infidel or “cafir,” from which is assumed the word “coffee” was derived.
The legend is that Pope Clement VIII was petitioned to declare coffee “the drink of the devil” due to its association with Muslims, but the Pontiff tasted it and liked it, stating:
“This devil’s drink is so good, we should cheat the devil by baptizing it.”
Shortly after the victory of Vienna, Polish General Koltschizky opened Vienna’s first coffeehouse and coffee quickly spread across Europe.
The Pope and European leaders hailed Jan Sobieski as the “Savior of Western Civilization.”
President Theodore Roosevelt wrote in his 1916 book, Fear God and Take Your Own Part:
“From the hammer of Charles Martel to the sword of Jan Sobieski, Christianity owed its safety in Europe to the fact it…could and would fight as well as the Mohammedan aggressor.”
The humiliated Muslim army beheaded General Mustafa Pasha and sent his head back to Sultan Mehmed IV in a velvet bag.
Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953) wrote in The Great Heresies (1938):
“Less than 100 years before the American War of Independence a Mohammedan army was threatening to overrun and destroy Christian civilization …
Vienna was almost taken and only saved by the Christian army under the command of the King of Poland on a date that ought to be among the most famous in history – SEPTEMBER 11, 1683.”
The third time Islamic expansion was stopped on that date was SEPTEMBER 11, 1697.
Muslim Ottoman Turks dominated Belgrade, Serbia, since 1521.
In 1691, Austria helped free Belgrade, but Muslim Ottoman Turks recaptured it and razed the city’s buildings to the ground.
The Serbian Orthodox Patriarch led thousands to flee to the Austrian Hapsburg Empire in the first “Great Serbian Migration.”
Habsburg Prince Eugene of Savoy led the Holy League to counter-attack.
Losing 500 men, the Holy League killed 30,000 Turks in one of the Ottoman Empire’s worsts defeats in history – the Battle of Zenta, SEPTEMBER 11, 1697.
After these three major defeats: the Battle of Malta, September 11, 1565; the Battle of Vienna, September 11, 1683; and the Battle of Zenta, September 11, 1697, the expansion of the Ottoman Empire stopped and began its slow decline.
Many think it is more than coincidence that September 11th was chosen for the 2001 and 2012 attacks, as well as, near that date in 2021, the Taliban took control of Afghanistan.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
Islamic terrorists hijacked passenger jets.
Two were flown into New York’s World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and one crashed in Pennsylvania.
President Bush stated:
“Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward, and freedom will be defended,”
That evening, Bush stated:
“Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.
Pictures of planes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger.”
He continued:
“America was targeted … because we’re the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world … I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve …
I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us spoken through the ages in Psalm 23:
‘Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for you are with me.'”
The U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights, written with the help of Eleanor Roosevelt, was adopted by the U.N. General Assembly, Dec. 8, 1948.
Without referencing the “Creator” as the source of rights, like the U.S. Declaration of Independence, the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights includes articles such as:
Article 18. “Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief.”
This conflicted with Islamic Shariah law which imposes the death penalty for anyone leaving the Islamic religion.
Many articles in the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights were rejected by the leaders of 57 Islamic states, who formed their own group called the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, or OIC.
In 1990, OIC passed the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam, affirming Shariah law as supreme, with:
  • the death penalty for those leaving Islam;
  • punishing women who are victims of rape;
  • allowing men to be polygamous;
  • permitting wife beating; and
  • censoring speech insulting Islam.
On December 12, 2011, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton began a 3 day closed door meeting with the OIC, promising to support their Istanbul Process to universally “criminalize” speech insulting Islam, effectively enforcing “dhimmi” status on non-Muslims worldwide.
By definition, the Christian Gospel insults sharia Islam.
If someone in a Sharia controlled country proclaims Jesus Christ more than a prophet- – but also the Son of God who died on the cross to pay for the sins of the world — it would mean the death penalty.
In fact, all speech contrary to Islam insults Islam.
At the end of the meeting, OIC Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu stated:
“The Istanbul Process initiated with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton … must be carried forward.”
Clinton added:
“We now need to move to implementation.”
In the following months, Hillary Clinton’s State Department ignored repeated requests for security by Ambassador Chris Stevens in Libya.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2012
Ambassador Stevens was killed with several others in the Benghazi attack.
The night of the attack, Secretary Clinton’s State Department blamed a video, and the shortly after sent memos to YouTube and Google recommending they censor speech insulting Islam, consistent with promises made at the OIC Istanbul Process meeting.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice added to this narrative, as did President Obama when he told the U.N. General Assembly, Sept. 25, 2012:
“The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
Under President Obama, the U.S. supported the Muslim Brotherhood’s ousting of Egypt’s President Mubarak.
The Muslim Brotherhood’s fundamentalist ideology has been labeled “Islamism.”
Then U.S. weapons were used to oust Libya’s President Gaddafi.
Requests made by Judicial Watch through the Freedom of Information Act revealed emails of weapons being moved from Benghazi in a “Fast and Furious” gun-running style program to arm Muslim fighters in ousting Syria’s President Assad.
It appeared to many that this may have been part of a larger plan of international destabilization, removing moderate leaders in order to reestablish an Islamic Caliphate, a step coinciding with the globalist agenda of a one-world government.
When Russia came to Assad’s defense, the Muslim terrorists armed and trained by the U.S. attacked into Syria and Iraq, calling themselves ISIS, and proceeded to torture, rape, behead and displace hundreds of thousands.
The Obama administration’s arming of Islamic militants was reported by The Los Angeles Times (3/27/16):
“In Syria, militias armed by the Pentagon fight those armed by the CIA.”
Pushing back against this was Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard who introduced in 2016 the “Stop Arming Terrorists Act.”
The New York Times reported July 29, 2017:
“President Trump has ended the clandestine American program to provide arms and supplies to Syrian rebel groups, American officials said.”
Robin Simcox of the Heritage Foundation wrote January 29, 2018:
“Some of the problems the Trump administration is now trying to resolve are those the Obama administration helped create …
Trump deserves credit for hastening the downfall of ISIS’ caliphate. However, the war is not over. The threat has mutated and will continue to mutate.
Islamism is an ideology with its own propulsion.”
Highlighting America’s ideology of freedom, President Bush stated September 13, 2001:
“In the face of all this evil, we remain strong and united, ‘One Nation Under God.'”

From the Front Lines of Institutional Child Abuse By David Arthur

Published September 3, 2026 | By campconstitution

 I have stood at microphones in school board meetings, legislative hearings, and political bill sessions more times than I can count. The rooms change. The crowds change. The scripts do not.

Boys and girls, men and  women line up to regurgitate the same force-fed statistics and standardized talking points handed down by the lgbtq+ transqueer cult. They defend their new “family” and the shiny new “identities” that cult has so generously bestowed upon them. Watching it is like staring into a funhouse mirror of my own wrecked past.

I see every stage of the path I once walked: deception, confusion, abuse, victimization, cult membership, and advocacy. Boys in various degrees of chaos. Girls desperate to escape girlhood because it never delivered the fulfillment they expected. Adult men and women living vicariously through children they claim to protect while preying on them. The rooms reek of controlled vulnerability.

Some of the men in dresses call themselves “transgender women.” Not all of them are gender dysphoric. Many are autogynephiles — AGPs — men sexually aroused by the idea of themselves as women or by wearing women’s clothing.

 

The average person still doesn’t grasp that gender dysphoria and fetishes are not the same thing. Even inside the “trans community” there is a quiet civil war: the dysphoric do not want the fetishists under the same umbrella. That umbrella is a marketing scam designed to expand the customer base, not a coherent medical category. Very slippery slopes.

I never used the men’s room with so many women until I started testifying. The discomfort is immediate and instructive. If adults feel it, imagine the children forced to share bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers with the opposite sex. Speak against it, and you risk being labeled, isolated, or worse. The stigma does the enforcement work that the activists prefer not to do themselves.

I remember three young men in various stages of transition. I saw my teenage self in each of them. One hid almost every inch of his skin. Gloves with the fingertips cut off so the painted nails could show. A high-necked sweater and mask that left only made-up eyes and rouged cheeks visible. The rest of him was tattoos and body jewelry. How much louder do they have to scream before someone with power actually listens instead of celebrating the scream? The people who control the institutions do not care about your parental-rights. They will keep medicalizing, sterilizing, and sacrificing children regardless. Believe that.

A case manager once told a hearing about a school that helped place a youth on wrong-sex hormones. The committee asked for proof. She had none to hand over. I needed none. Teachers and counselors have already invited Planned Parenthood into classrooms and private meetings. False information, puberty blockers, and wrong-sex hormones are distributed like product samples — without parental knowledge or consent. It does happen. I know it for a fact.

Then there was a “father” in full drag who claimed to be “trans” and spoke about his own children already aboard the same delusional train. “Hop on, kids. Daddy’s driving.” My stomach turned.

This is child abuse being performed in public under the banner of inclusivity. Most of the room stayed silent. Fear of being called a bigot, hypocrite, or transphobe is a powerful silencer. Then there is the fear of this cult that inflicts social death, intimidation and the constant threat of suicide statistics against anyone who dissents.

We will never please everyone. We shouldn’t try. Moral law still exists whether or not one believes in God. It is written into us. Some have buried it under layers of ideology. Others have been taught that the only authority is whatever the cult currently feels is acceptable. I once claimed to “feel like a woman” but that claim was absurd. I had never been a woman. I could not possibly know what a woman feels like. Womanhood is not a feeling. It is a biological reality.

No amount of pills, shots, surgeries, or “gender-affirming” mutilation turns a male into a female. He remains a man who has been sold a lie and paid for it by mutilating and destroying his mind, body and soul.

One child insisted he didn’t “feel like a boy,” so he needed the outside to match the inside. No adult in his life had the courage or clarity to tell him that he can only feel like a boy because he is one. Thousands of chromosome markers say so. Reality is not bigotry, it’s biology.

These hearings and board meetings are full of people who’ve been lied to by the largest, most unstable, unethical political experiment ever aimed at the weak, weary, and mentally ill. It targets children; desensitizes them, sexualizes them, butchers them, sterilizes them, and calls the process “care.”

It does this in plain sight while the rest of us complain on social media, march, and carefully avoid being labeled. The time for polite pussyfooting is over. Mentally ill youth with co-morbidities and a desperate need to belong are being exploited. That is not compassion. It is predatory with better branding.

The only immediate practical answer for parents who actually care is to remove their children from government-run schools and educate them at home. Solutions exist for those who want them. Excuses exist for those who prefer the comfort of performative concern.

I was targeted and groomed. I became a groomer. I was an addict, a criminal, and a mentally unstable man in a dress. I am a de-transitioner — an EXtrans. I make myself available to parents, citizens, ministries, organizations, and anyone else who wants unfiltered testimony, hard questions answered, or practical discussion about what is happening and how to stop it. The cult does not get the last word. Reality still does.

The Weekly Sam: Gaza Declares War on Israel By Samuel L. Blumenfeld (Article written 15 years ago.)

Published August 14, 2026 | By campconstitution

 

The declaration by the head of Hamas in Gaza that they are going to resume sending
rockets into Israeli towns is, in fact, little else than a declaration of war against the Jewish
state. The Hamas leader threatens war, and the United Nations just yawn.
The president of Iran tells the UN General Assembly that he will wipe Israel off the map,
and many delegates applaud. I thought that genocide is illegal, and that the UN is
against it?

Jews can’t live in Palestine, but Arabs can live in Israel. Some of the Jewish “settlers” in
Gaza actually said they were willing to live under a Palestinian government provided
they were treated as equal citizens. But the Israeli government preferred destroying
Jewish Gaza than encourage a multiethnic Gaza run by Palestinians. The Jewish
“settlers” had employed thousands of Palestinians to work on their highly productive
farms and greenhouses. In fact, Jewish Gaza produced the best vegetables in the Middle
East.

But now that the Arabs have Gaza all to themselves, their chief enterprise has become
kidnappings and bombings. The Israelis proved that Gaza could be turned into a Garden
of Eden. But Hamas wants to turn it into a hell on earth.
So what can Israel do? The Israeli government has launched a public relations effort to
justify to the civilized world that a full-scale war against Gaza is inevitable. But it is
doubtful that the world press will buy that. If Israel retaliates against Gaza, it will be
seen as Israeli aggression against a tiny, enclave full of peace-loving Arabs.
Of course, Gaza’s declaration of war against Israel has hardly been reported in the
Western press. You can only find out about these things by reading Israeli Internet sites
or World Net Daily.

But once Israel launches its assault on Gaza, it will be all over the liberal press. Big Israel
will be accused of attacking Little Gaza. The world expects Israel to tolerate rockets
being launched over its towns, while no other country would tolerate such attacks.
The United Nations has become a farce. It has been a farce for many decades, but now it
is so obvious that no one with half a brain can expect it to do anything constructive.
