The Weekly Sam: Let the Counter-Revolution Begin! Implementing the Tea Party Agenda

The first American Revolution officially began on July 4th, 1776, when the Thirteen
Colonies declared their independence from Great Britain. And it didn’t end until 1781,
when General Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, and the Treaty of Paris was signed
with Great Britain in 1783. In other words it took seven years of hard struggle before
the colonists could become the free and sovereign United States of America.
At first the new government was ruled by the Articles of Confederation, ratified by the
states in 1781, which provided virtually no power to the central government. The leaders
of the new confederation then decided to construct a more efficient and viable form of
government under a new Constitution. The result was a Federal Republic in which power
was effectively separated into three branches: the Executive headed by a President, the
Legislative composed of a Congress with a Senate and a House of Representatives, and
the Judiciary, a federal court system headed by the Supreme Court.

Thus, was formed a government of limited powers in which the basic freedoms of
American citizens were constitutionally protected against encroachment by any branch of
government. All of this worked fairly well until the turn of the last century when
socialists began a long-range conspiracy to change America from a Constitutional
Republic with limited powers into a European style Social Democracy with unlimited
powers, thus abolishing our God-given individual liberties. This was done through
incremental steps that expanded the power of the federal government in all areas
Which brings us to the present. The socialists finally took complete legislative power in
Washington with the election of Barack Obama as President and a Democrat controlled
Congress. Their plan was to end our Constitutional Republic. But what the socialists
didn’t count on was the rising up of the majority of the American people in opposition to
their scheme. That uprising became the Tea Party Movement, made up of ordinary and
extraordinary Americans who are determined to restore America’s form of government to
what the Founding Fathers gave us.

And in November 2010 the Tea Partiers gained control of the House of Representatives,
marking the beginning of their Counter-Revolution. But the socialist revolutionaries
used the lame-duck Congress to push through as much of their agenda as possible.
What should the Tea Partiers do when they take their seats in Congress in January of
2011? First, they must repeal all of the socialist legislation that virtually ended our
Constitutional Republic. This initial effort may be vetoed by our Alinsky-trained
President. But in 1012 the Tea Partiers may be able to get rid of this Marxist
revolutionary at the top. Next, they must begin to dismantle all of those federal
departments and bureaucracies created by previous liberal administrations to expand the
control of government over the lives and activities of the American people. But where
to start? A good place to start is by abolishing the U.S. Department of Education, created
by Jimmy Carter in 1979 via the Department of Education Organization Act, approved by
a liberal Congress.

Actually, a Department of Education had been created in 1867, but a year later was
reduced to a mere Office collecting education statistics, a minor bureau in the Department
of the Interior. In 1939, the bureau was transferred to the Federal Security Agency where
it became known as the Office of Education.
Upgrading the Office of Education into a cabinet level department was opposed by
Republicans who saw the Department as unconstitutional since the Constitution didn’t
even mention education. But when Ronald Reagan became President in 1981 and tried
to abolish the Department, he was prevented by a Democrat dominated House of
Representatives. He was also sabotaged by his own RINO statists.
During the 1980s, the abolition of the ED, as it is now called, was part of the Republican
Party platform, but President George H. W. Bush declined to implement the idea. In
1996, the Republican Party made abolition of the Department a cornerstone of their
campaign promises, calling it an unconstitutional federal intrusion into local, state, and
family affairs. The GOP platform stated:

“The Federal government has no constitutional authority to be involved in school
curricula or to control jobs in the market place. This is why we will abolish the
Department of Education, end federal meddling in our schools, and promote family
choice at all levels of learning.”

During Bob Dole’s run for the presidency in 1996, he promised to abolish the ED. And
in 2000, the Republican Liberty Caucus passed a resolution to abolish the Department.
But when George W. Bush became President, instead of initiating an effort to abolish the
Department, he joined with liberal Democrat Ted Kennedy to enact the No Child Left
Behind act, which reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965
passed by Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society administration.

It was George W. Bush’s big government Republicanism which disillusioned many
conservatives with the GOP and led to the election of Barack Obama. But what makes
the abolition of the Department of Education much more possible now are two things: the
huge federal debt and the need to cut the cost and size of government; and the fact that
the Department has not improved education. In fact, it has made it worse.
Indeed, it was Charlotte Iserbyt, a former Senior Policy Advisor in the Department of
Education during the Reagan years, who blew the whistle on the ED’s nefarious activities
by writing the Deliberate Dumbing Down of the American People, based on
documentation she found in the Department‘s own files. In her expose she proved that the
Department was financing the dumbing down of Americans through grants to socialist
academics in our universities. In other words, the Department of Education had become
destructive of the American mind, and therefore should have long been abolished for that
reason alone. (Iserbyt’s book can now be downloaded free of charge on the Internet.)
So there is now more than enough evidence that the Department of Education is a
destructive force with power to dictate what goes on in American schools. The sooner it
is gotten rid of, the sooner Americans will be able to achieve one of the Tea Party’s chief
goals: a free nation, enjoying the benefits of educational freedom, without federal control
over our schools.

Yet read the Constitution and you discover a document that carefully creates a national
government with limited and enumerated powers. In contrast to state governments,
federal authority is constrained. Washington does not have general jurisdiction, or the
so-called police power, authorizing it to intervene in any matter not explicitly barred by
law or constitution.
None of the 27 amendments expanded federal power in this regard. The 13th, 14th, and
15th Amendments, passed in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, did transform
federal-state relations: the United States went from being a plural aggregation to a single
unit. National power expanded insofar as it protected individual liberty in the states. The
constitutional changes did not expand Washington’s authority to infringe the liberty of the
same individuals.

John McManus writes:
For decades, our federal government has annually poured tens of billions into education
and the product continues to worsen. The same elected geniuses started a Department of
Energy when imports totaled 30 percent. The import total is now 70 percent. Federal
housing policies convinced many Americans they could own a home with little or no
down payment and the resulting housing crisis ushered in the current recession. Other
geniuses started providing food stamps for several hundred thousand in the 1960s while
assuring everyone that the number of recipients would never grow larger. Now, over 40
million — one in seven Americans — are on this form of handout. We could go on. But it
has to be obvious that whatever the Federal government undertakes beyond its
constitutionally authorized powers turns out to be a bust.

What Shall We Cut?

Abortion may soon be more readily available than ever before, thanks to a new
requirement from Planned Parenthood that more of its centers nationwide offer the
service. At least one local chapter so far has decided to withdraw from the network rather
than comply.
A local office of Planned Parenthood in South Texas is dropping out of the nationwide
network of “America’s most trusted provider of reproductive health care” starting
January 1.
According to local news reports, Planned Parenthood is planning on standardizing all of
its agencies, which includes requiring that every single one offer abortion services. The
CEO of the Coastal Bend office, however, said in a media interview that her center has
never provided abortions in the past, and doing so now is unnecessary.
“Our position is that if that is a need in your community, fine,” said CEO Amanda
Stukenberg. “There are far greater needs in our area than abortion. We feel that women
here have options. We don’t need to duplicate services.”
When contacted by The Daily Caller, Lisa David, senior vice president of Health
Services Support for Planned Parenthood, said that the organization is implementing a
broad “new patient services initiative.”

“From well-woman exams to lifesaving breast and cervical cancer screenings, more
patients will now have access to the full range of Planned Parenthood services,” said
David in a statement. “To meet the needs of our patients, Planned Parenthood affiliates
will now offer a unified set of core preventive services.”
In the next year, according to David, Planned Parenthood will expand immediate access
to testing for HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STI’s). During the next two years,
all Planned Parenthood centers will begin to “provide the full range of birth control
method options, such as the IUD, in addition to well-woman exams including critical
cancer prevention screenings.”

She went on to say that abortion services will be offered in at least one clinic per affiliate.
However, a waiver may be obtained in the case of “unique local circumstances.”
Some, however, argue that the expansion of abortion services is more about lining
pockets than making women feel safe and secure. “Planned Parenthood claims they’re
concerned with women’s health and family planning,” a spokesperson for the Family
Research Council, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that advances “faith, family and
freedom,” told TheDC.

“We’ve been hearing rhetoric lately that abortion should be safe, legal and rare, but [with
this requirement] we can see the writing on the wall. The bottom line is there is no place
in the U.S. where a woman would have difficulty getting abortion if they want to.”
The spokesperson went on to say, “This is about expanding services and bringing in more
money…they try to create a public image where everything focuses on STD’s, family
planning, etc, but abortion is a profitable endeavor.”

Right now, Planned Parenthood has 817 health clinics throughout the U.S. One hundred
seventy-three of those already perform surgical abortions, and 131 perform chemical
abortions. The Planned Parenthood network is made up of 87 locally-government
regional centers, which then oversee hundreds of other clinics.

The Seeds of Genocide: Ideas Have Consequences by Maria Perez

The Seeds of Genocide: Ideas Have Consequences

This essay is an overview of the book The Law of Blood: Thinking and Acting as a Nazi by Johanne Chapoutot. The book outlines the thinking and acting prevalent in Nazi Germany during the 30s and early 40s, which is eerily similar to the thinking and acting the progressive left engages in. Ideas have consequences; good ideas produce positive consequences, and bad ideas have horrific consequences.

 

This essay will compare our cultures and societies and demonstrate how we are planting the seeds for a future genocide. We are in the middle of a cultural Revolutionary civil war; the progressive left wants to destroy our way of life, destroy our foundations, and rewrite our ethics and values, much like the Nazis who implemented their revolution/movement to change their nation, their society, and their culture. The cosmic battle is between two opposing world views: one that believes in a creator who is actively involved in the affairs of man and that fosters civility and a world view that elicits barbarism/destruction and the tearing down of society toward anarchy.

The ideas that permeated during the Nazi regime began earlier when the Germans started cleansing libraries of Jewish life five years before they forced the Jewish people to wear the yellow star. “They aimed to unshackle themselves from the norm imposed by Judeo-Christian acculturation, its false God, its imperative of monogamy, its blessing of the mixing of all blood of their creator.”

In this essay, we will compare the many policies and institutional changes implemented in Nazi Germany and see how many of those similar policies and ideas are being executed today. We cannot sit back and ignore this revolution. We must fight back before our nation follows the trajectory of Nazi Germany and fosters a future genocide here in our homeland.

Most recent current events in the Middle East and our homeland have precipitated this urgency and the stark reality that there are evil forces who want to destroy our country.

This essay will examine some of the laws implemented during the Nazi Regime,  the return to their pagan religion, will draw comparisons of the Deep Police State then and now, the Development in Family Government Policies then and now, Propaganda Media then and now, How the Treaty of Versailles fostered a mentality of the oppressors against the oppressed, How the Church responded then and now, and finally, the Dehumanizing of the enemy then and now.

When examining the laws implemented during the Nazi regime, it is evident that the leaders rejected what they called the “God of the Jews” and reverted to their Nordic pagan religion. They believed that others’ ethics or values did not bind them. As a people, they were so superior that they rejected the eternal laws handed down from the ages and through the millennia. They saw the German Race as the only Moral Race. For example, they first began by rejecting and discrediting the inherited values and traditions of Judeo-Christianity and the Enlightenment. They asserted that once these had been repudiated, it was possible to establish and offer up a new discourse. They saw themselves as much more moral than the Jews and inferred that Christianity perverted everything.

Today’s modern sentiments align with this thinking. Many on the left hate the God of the Jews and Gentiles and want to eradicate our values and belief systems. For example, queer theories challenge traditional ideas about identity, sexuality, and gender. It rejects normative definitions of appropriate feminine and masculine sexual behavior. One researcher, James Lindsay, equates this new Wokeness as a religion and a cult that propagates the Marxist theories of Critical Race and Queer Theories.

Additionally, this thinking led to Germanic Nature worship. The German elite saw themselves as one with nature and began to worship nature and nature’s animals. The first sign of this new Ideology was to provoke anti-Semitic sentiment, which was deployed by an unnuanced campaign against the torture of animals or Ritual Slaughter. This new pagan religion worshiped nature and saw the animals actually as “Little brothers” and gave animals equal respect and protection as people. The PETA organization operates under similar principles: animals are not ours to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way. I am not advocating for cruelty to animals. However, this elevated view of animals is wrong, especially in light of how we treat the unborn in the womb. This new Woke ideology too is based on ancestorial pagan religions of the past. Now people worship climate change, animals, man, sex, and anything and anyone besides the one actual creator God.

Another attribute evident was that the Nordic pagan religion equated the German Race as superior; they were so superior that they did not need the laws of the God of the Jews to govern them individually and as a people. This superiority demonstrates itself with their desire to create a superior race by implementing the practice of eugenics. In 1933 the first law mandated to address this right to be born stipulated that “anyone with a hereditary illness may be rendered sterile by means of surgical intervention if scientific medical experimentations have established a high probability that his descendants will suffer from a hereditary physical or mental disorder.” They created health courts which required the sterilization of individuals identified as “diseased by hereditary” and the removal of “Lives not fit to be lived.” In twelve years, 400,00 people fell victim to this idea that the survival and reproduction of diseased beings were unnatural. The Germans believed that “a being incapable of living would be left by nature to die of hunger. Therefore we can be more humane, and administer death to him without suffering.” Even now, in Canada, anyone can end their lives if they choose, no longer needing a medical diagnosis to be administered deadly medications.

Much of the abortion debate centers on the concept that we should not bring children who would experience suffering into this world and that these babies would be “living lives not fit to be lived.” The Germans justified these procedures by asserting that the state must intervene out of pure humanity in “order to avoid needless suffering on the part of patients and families.” Once again, similar rhetoric is used by the pro-abortion people.

Another example of the similarities under the National Socialist Party is that the state held supreme authority; the state owned everything and everyone, the people, the people’s property, the families, and their children. One example of this principle was the 1933 law entitled “law on inherited farms,” which allowed the state to discharge a farmer if the state felt that they were not operating in the community’s best interest. The owner was now part of the new relationship between the person, the thing (i.e., the farm), and the community. Indeed, we all have heard of the WEF’s newest Mantra, “You will own nothing and be happy.”

Today the New Pagan Religion of the left has stated and communicated that your children are their children. They want to remove the God-given parental rights of parents. We are in a fight to protect our children and to regain parental control of our children.

The Deep Police State Then and Now: Criminal biology became popular in Europe at the end of the 19th century. With medical advances and the first discoveries in the nascent field of genetics, the public, influenced by growing preoccupations with hygiene and biology and the rising popularity of social Darwinism, grew more interested in using science to answer social and criminal questions. Today, we are hearing similar rhetoric about following the science, especially the COVID-19 pandemic justifications for mandates, masking, and forced vaccinations.

To diminish the formation of any political will outside of their own political will, the National Socialism party in Germany developed a secret police that was modern in meeting the needs of their times. In the new Germany, stealing to survive or eat was no longer necessary. Therefore, all remaining criminality and delinquency were due to biological flaws or defects. If in the past some delinquency had been provoked by distressing social conditions, and therefore the context might have softened the police or stayed the judge’s hand, the police were now finding hardened criminals who were incapable of falling back into line and living worthy lives, unable to live at peace with a prosperous community that could easily ensure their livelihood if they choose to work. Article 42 of the law of November 24, 1933, authorized the unlimited detention of anyone the police deemed to be irredeemably dangerous for security reasons. The police could thus act preventively by averting crimes, which was impossible before the law was passed. Anyone who threatened the State and the people was a target. The police could go about protecting the State and using “preventative police detentions,” which are the most effective arms against the enemies of the State. Above all, the measure protected the people and the State against all activities infringing on their safety. They implemented political–police protective measures. In other words, it was at once a political and police measure, delivering defenseless individuals with no recourse to appeal or to arbitration into detention at the entire discretion of the police.

To implement these safety measures and protect the community of the people and the State, such people should be apprehended and removed from the community. It saw the asocial iceberg as an element alien to the community that was generally subtle and made up a category that was much more difficult to discern. These had to be eradicated and removed from society. An alien to the community is anyone who, through his personality, lifestyle, flaws in his understanding, or character, demonstrates his inability to meet the minimum requirements of the community of the people. The measures taken against them were typical of the Nazi arsenal of repressive practices in place since 1933. Mostly, they were police measures and, secondarily, judicial ones. Article 2 provided for measures in regular use since 1937 of police surveillance and incarceration in a police camp.

There are many examples of this phenomenon in our country.

Raids, Harassment, and Intimidation of Dissidents by Police. Recently, the FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Forces raided multiple homes in the Northwest in search of “anti-government or anarchist Literature.”

The Militarization of Domestic Law Enforcement. To remedy and deal with terrorism on US soil, police forces throughout the country have purchased military equipment, adopted military training, and sought to inculcate a soldier mentality among their ranks (Rizer, Atlantic). Additionally, there has been disproportionate prison sentences for political activist. The January 6 defendants are critical examples of this tyranny. Most recently, the January 6th Commission deprived citizens of viewing all the footage of the January “Insurrection.” Now that the whole footage has been released, it is evident that the January 6th Commission has blood on its hands, notably since four people committed suicide due to imprisonment and FBI threats.

Further, new laws have been adopted for people because of their political beliefs. Hate crime laws and policies primarily, are used against people of opposing political parties. In addition, there has been a creation of special prison units, pervasive use of surveillance, and criminal isolation of ideology. For example, the FBI training documents say that anarchists are criminals seeking an ideology to justify their activities.

Moreover, there are many examples of Big Tech social media surveillance. Examples include:

  • A study exposing Google’s anti-Republican search bias.
  • YouTube is deleting and demonetizing social media personality videos.
  • Censoring X’s community notes.

The Development in Family Government Policies Then and Now: Last in this series of new police measures was the shared responsibility of a family or clan. These laws and policies were invoked more and more frequently from 1943 to 1944. It signaled the final break with the common law of the past and a full embrace of the biological view of the delinquent and criminal. It held family lines responsible for any criminal history. The community’s health was paramount, and anyone deemed unhealthy or a danger to the whole of society had to be removed.

Therefore, these policies were welcomed and appreciated by a large portion of the people, most likely the healthiest ones, as the most effective means of protection for the community of the people and its State. It said this man is a traitor, his blood is bad, it is traitor’s blood, it must be eradicated. And this is how vengeance exterminated the entire family, down to the last of its members.

The law of July 14, 1933, explained that by undertaking this task, criminal law is linked organically to the great fundamental laws of our national Socialist State, those which assure the selection, the purification, and the health of our people. This racial hygienic purge was a commandment dictated by the preservation of our people, in this way, a commandment of justice itself.

With biology in play, past illusions of criminal law evaporated. It was necessary to lock away, castrate, or kill to protect the community of the people from the presence and the reproduction of these rotten elements. Criminal law thus became a criminal biology, as indicated in Article 4 of the draft law on sterilization. Elements alien to the community whose offspring are feared to be undesirable must be sterilized according to procedures and provisions of the law for the prevention of genetically diseased offspring of July 14, 1933. The logic of the laws on euthanasia and pathological heredity was, in this way, mapped into criminal law. The Nazis claimed these hereditary laws based on Robert Ritter’s genetics studies of the descendants of vagabonds, crooks, and thieves published in 1937. They stated that nourishing and supporting these asocial had to cease. They were useless mouths, harmful in their uselessness and their very existence, even calling them Deplorables.

The most recent events from October 7, 2023, have demonstrated the open Jew-hatred and massive pro-Hamas protests around the globe. The Hamas, who are holding some 240 Jews and others hostage in Gaza and killed 1,200 people, have subjected the Gaza Strip to complete hellish tyranny for the last twenty years. We see here not only the call for the destruction of a family but for an entire race and population. This is an example of an ethnic mass murder. It seeks to establish blood guilt for those races, religions, and political affiliations that have been declared sub-human.

By extension, in an attempt to prevent lightly crossbred individuals or alien influence over the course of generations, they advocated for taking children and removing them from their environment, even in cases where they had to kidnap them or steal them. They saw this task as a moral duty and of the utter most important.

Presently, California Bill AB665 allows a child 12 years and older to consent to placement in a residential shelter without any claim of abuse against the parents or a serious risk of harm to himself or others. This bill would place children in the care of the State.

Euthanasia movement today The New York Times showcased an apparent disregard for human life when it chose to legitimize the idea of mass suicide as one “drastic” method to deal with Japan’s aging population.

Filmmaker Ondi Timoner traveled to Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Trevor Noah and promoted the film The Last Flight Home. It is a film that hypes the alleged “basic human right” of euthanasia.

Propaganda Media Then and Now: The propaganda of the Reich Commission for the Consolidation of German Nationhood was present everywhere, including newsreels, film, ideological teaching materials, tracts, posters, and meeting agendas. These ideas found their mark and helped to inform the perceptions of civilians, police officers, and troops, giving meaning to their experiences and even their traumas.

The Nazi program was made up of words, images, and ideas that, more often than not, were not invented by the Nazis or even the Germans. This made it especially easy for contemporaries to adopt all or part of it. Western anti-Semitism, colonialist racism, social Darwinism, eugenics, imperialism, fear and hatred of Judeo-Bolshevism, and fear and scorn were all elements in Germany, Western, and Eastern Europe. Hitler admitted to his generals that he sought a propaganda reason to launch the war; “credible or not, it does not matter.”

This propaganda found its way into children’s literature. In 1938, Julius Streicher’s publishing house put out a book called The Poisonous Mushroom, which radicalized Jewish stereotypes for German children. With the help of graphic illustrations, this edifying tale begins with a walk in the forest where little Franz’s mother is teaching him the gentle art of collecting edible fungi. The lesson of this book allows a mother to develop a subtle analogy with humanity’s poisonous mushrooms, which are just as challenging to identify and often indistinguishable despite their radical difference. Identifying the poisonous mushrooms, the mother in the story equates them to the Jewish population and states they are Jews and they will remain Jews; they are poisonous to our people, for a single Jew can destroy an entire village, entire city, and even an entire people. Propaganda movies were released a few years later in which they equated the Jews as demons in human form who were a calamity, but thankfully, the schools taught students to identify them. The propaganda was instituted in a child’s everyday class curriculum. The Ministry of Propaganda expanded on this idea in a widely read pamphlet. The Global Jewish Plague, published in 1939 by Franz Eher, the NSDAP’s publisher, insisted that the Jewish threat was a constant hardship for the world, an unprecedented threat to humanity; fighting it was a moral duty. It was also a public health imperative. Far from a crime, the Nazis saw the final solution as the highest possible expression of natural morality. As harsh or paradoxical as this morality might seem to contemporary generations, it had to be imposed if the Nordic race wished to live.

The Pro-Hamas Palestinian protestors are using the same propaganda, “from the River to the Sea,” to justify the killing of innocent people and the destruction of the Jewish Nation.

There is also blatant anti-American propaganda and critical race theory indoctrination across the country in higher and lower academia. There is a dark agenda to censor and rewrite our history, a practice of all totalitarian regimes. There is a growing liberal anti-religious bias in the judicial and educational systems of the United States. Textbook publishers regularly ignore or purposely omit references to the role of religion and spiritual forces in affecting human events in our history.

 

How the Treaty of Versailles Fostered a mentality of the oppressors against the oppressed:

In their leadership, the German people saw the Treaty of Versailles disrespecting their freedom to contract and self-determination. Scholarly papers from university professors posited that the 1648 Peace of Westphalia had made the division and the powerlessness of Germany into a basic law of European diplomacy and international order and had fostered the destruction of internal orders such as that of the Reich. The 1648 treaty denationalized and internationalized all sovereign German territories. The understanding was that many profited from this peace treaty in 1648, including the Jewish war profiteers, which laid the groundwork for the power they now held. Franz-Alfred Six, a university professor and lieutenant in the SS, published texts of the Treaty and wanted everyone to be aware of them. He surmised that these circumstances had been characterized by “the powerlessness and the self-mutilation of the Reich” at this historic hour, and presenting the German people with all the articles and paragraphs of this peace treaty was a political necessity.

The scholarly elite of Germany saw the Treaty of Versailles as an attempt to reestablish the circumstances prevailing in 1648. With the demilitarization of the German side of the Rhine and the loss of two security outposts on the Western front, Switzerland and the Netherlands, the Reich was now utterly defenseless against the West.

The Armistice of November 11, 1918, and where it was signed was significant; this is why Hitler wanted to sign the Armistice of June 22, where the earlier armistice was signed.

Retribution had to be exacted on the site of an offense. For this reason, Hitler firmly believed in this idea and ordered the Armistice of June 22, 1940, to be signed in Compiegne wagon, the same railcar in which Marshal Foch had signed the Armistice of November 11, 1918. They believed that treaties should be revised and the elasticity of the law ought to reflect the plasticity of things because the world is not static. They saw the goal of the Versailles Treaty was to exterminate the German people, with the understanding that any violence or any approach was justified to advance the German people and the German nation. For the Germans, one can see how this Treaty significantly contributed to the outbreak of the Second World War.

Likewise, the Marxist, BLM, and Queer Theory ideologues look at America in a similar vein and perceive our history in the same way. The new move for decolonization from the left perceives America and its Western civilization as an oppressor and one in which the oppressed must be released. This rationale justifies all their violence and destruction against our institutions and our way of life.

 

How the Church Responded Then and Now: Furthermore, even the churches in Germany were on board with the Nazi’s agenda. The mission of German Theology and the German church during this period was to de-Judaize the religious life of churchgoers. Today we have numerous churches going along with this new pagan Marxist Ideology and bringing it onto the churches through the dogma of social justice, white guilt, and the love is love agenda. The Nazi party held their meetings on Sunday mornings. Therefore, many Germans stopped attending church and became part of this new religious movement, believing this new dogma.

In an attempt to colonize the European East, the Nazi party had to control the peoples they were conquering. One way was to control the churches and what they preached. Hitler, like Himmler, wished to rid Germany and the Germans of the Christian plague. Still, he believed the Polish priests, like missionaries in overseas colonies, might turn out to be foolish servants of the German denomination. It is completely justified for the Polish people to preserve their Catholicism. “We will pay the priest, and in return, they will preach what we ask them to. The priests are to maintain the Poles in a state of stupidity and foolishness because it is in our interest for them to do so. If the Poles were lifted to a higher level of intelligence, they would no longer be the workforce we need.”

The American Church has adopted this response to our current cultural revolution to destroy our Western civilization. For example, many churches abided by the mandate to shut down and were given COVID-19 funds as a reward. Currently, there are many pastors in American churches who have been silent about the atrocities that have been perpetrated against the Jewish people in Israel. They have not joined their voices in speaking out against this barbarism. Sadly, many have decided to sit out the battle or have cavorted with the enemy. They use terms like “Zionist” and “neocon” and talk about forever wars,” what they mean is let them kill the Jews.

The Dehumanizing of the Enemy Then and Now: In another attempt to colonize Eastern Europe, the first thing they did was to exterminate the Polish elite. This was the mission of the SS and German police, who murdered 60,000 people in Poland in just over a month. Poles were also deprived of access to intellectual and cultural development. Deprived of education and culture, the Poles were also stripped of their rights. They vowed to solve and eradicate the problem of the Polish minority once and for all.

In recent days, we have heard of similar rhetoric coming from former Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton, stating that all MAGA supporters should be re-educated by formal deprogramming. In her 2016 presidential campaign, she said, “Deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs, and structural biases have to be changed.”

For example, the December 16, 1942, decree was the first to include women and children as targets explicitly. In this struggle, therefore, troops have the right and the duty to resort to any expedient, with no restrictions, including against women and children, so long as they lead to success in the identification and destruction of the enemies in the Resistance. Hitler added any consideration extended to partisans of any kind was a war crime against the German people and against the soldiers on the front, who must suffer the consequences of attacks carried out by gangs and could never understand why they would be spared; they or their sidekicks. Burning a village and murdering its inhabitants were not crimes. Instead, they were part of a military police operation that made it possible to stamp out a pocket of partisans and served as a dissuasive measure against local populations to bring relief to German troops. Massacring a group of defenseless civilians with no provocation or justification was not a crime. Hesitating to do so, however, was. The blood of the Partisans and the terrorists was contaminated and, therefore, guilty. It had to be eradicated on biological principles.

The Germans especially saw the Slavic/Asiatic population as subhuman, fundamentally twisted, and a dangerous enemy. They were even advocating that the entire population should be evacuated, and all inhabitants be burned or destroyed. Himmler himself proposed the harshest and most radical solution; “exterminating the Jews and all they possess, down to their children. He stated this is a logical solution, even if it is violent. “We must take it upon ourselves to resolve this problem in our time. Future generations will likely not deal with the problem with the same passion and courage as we have.”

Naziism was a worldview that was, first of all, a vision of history, a singular narrative that constantly, everywhere, in each instant and every possible form, recounted the race’s past in its every gesture, trial, glory, and fortune. Their story, as it was incessantly told, was a normative one that gave rise to a norm in which people were told how to act and why.

At the beginning of this narrative, we discussed the influence of ideas. Many of the ideas discussed in this essay were neither unheard of nor particularly original; it was, therefore, all the easier to penetrate a social space in which they were, to a degree, already present in 1930. The authors of the literature and the scientific community, especially doctors, were convinced of what they were saying. We explicitly see this since in 1964; they still repeated those wildly held beliefs and ideas.

Some of the conditions that made it possible for the implementation of the most radical and violent methods ever imagined in the West were for the stated purpose of ensuring people’s safety and security. Concepts such as the war against criminals, preventative detention, or colonization were also promoted and practiced outside of Germany. This justified their actions. These ideas were advanced by biomedical anti-Semitism, which set out the conditions through which such acts could become possible, thinkable, and desirable, especially in the context of the autumn of 1941. The brutality of the ghettoization of the Jews in Poland and then elsewhere in the territories under the General Government’s control gave rise to a public health situation so catastrophic that, as Paul Weindling showed, murder came to be justified as a public health measure and deployed as a medical procedure.

Even now, global elites aim to transform America and realize the New World Order. These individuals have a multifaceted agenda to depopulate, increase mass migration, de-Christianize the West, end national sovereignty and autonomy, radical reduction of privacy, transform the natural free-market system into a contrived stakeholder system imposing centralized political control based on environmental, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and subjective governance variables- a kind of socialism through the back door. Numerous characters are pushing this agenda. These include the CCP, the United Nations World Health Organization run by Mr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, the world economic forum whose founder, Klaus Schwab, has recruited and organized many high-ranking government officials, like Prime Ministers from France, Germany, Holland, Spain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The World Economic Forum also has a market capitalization of top corporate leaders, such as Apple, Amazon, Comcast, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Pfizer, Black Rock founder and CEO Larry Fink, and many in the American Government.

In conclusion, we are in a fight for the life of our nation. There is a woke agenda that is trying to destroy the American people’s connection to their heritage by anti-American indoctrination in schools and tearing down and defacing our historical monuments and statues, destroying the First Amendment through blacklisting, the cancel culture, and mass censorship; politicizing the judiciary and destroying the separation of powers. Foundational institutions of American society– the family, educational institutions, manners and civility, respect for law and order, and merit-based outcomes are under attack. What will you do to join the Resistance?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Time to Re-Evaluate the Legacy of Martin Luther King by Vincent Ellison

Originally published at American Thinker

After finding evidence that the “man of God” and “moral conscience of our nation,” the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., participated in the rape of a parishioner, engaged in numerous sex orgies, received cash payments from known communists, and admitted that he was a Marxist, King biographer and Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Garrow wrote of King, “There is no question that a profoundly painful reckoning and reconsideration inescapably awaits.”

Black Democrats and White liberals rail about the gains derived from the Civil Rights Movement.  I ask, “What gains?”  If murder, poverty, and mass incarceration are gains, you may have a point.  In an attempt to make him untouchable, liberals have protected King’s counterfeit legacy by sealing his FBI files until 2027.  Nevertheless, his reckoning is here.

But that reckoning shouldn’t occur exclusively because of King’s immoral behavior.   It shouldn’t happen because the “Good Reverend’s” best friend, Ralph Abernathy, in his book And the Walls Came Tumbling Down, described King beating a woman and sleeping with two others at the Lorrain Motel the night before his death.  Or because Arthur Schlesinger recorded Jackie Kennedy saying he was “terrible, phony, and tricky.”  Or that Black Major League Baseball player Don Newcombe reported to the FBI that King was a “drunk” and had an illegitimate child by a woman married to a sterile Los Angeles dentist.  Or because King allowed the dirty world of politics to turn the Black church into a puppet of the atheist and racist Democrat party.

No.  This reckoning should happen because Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement have failed Black people.  They managed only to elect many Black Americans into office, with most of them belonging to the same evil Democrat party that had necessitated the Civil Rights Movement by enslaving, raping, castrating, and oppressing Black Americans for over one hundred and fifty years.

After fifty years of following King’s failed ideology, consider these results.  On June 4, 2020, the Washington Post reported “no decrease in Black and White citizens’ wealth gap since 1968.”  The Brookings Institution reported that in 1965, only 24% of Black children were born out of wedlock.  In 2020, it was 69.4 (approximately a 300% increase).  Between 2019 and 2020, Blacks made up 11% of the population but 50% of all murders.  In May 2019, Penn State and UCLA reported that school segregation is getting worse.

This is King’s legacy.  Why are we celebrating it?

In explaining how to recognize a false prophet, Jesus said, “A tree is known by the fruit it bears.”  He said you cannot get bad fruit from a good tree.  The fruits of the Black community, almost unanimously, are rotten to the core.

What good has come from Martin Luther King’s movement for Black America?  The American Black community is at the bottom of nearly every socio-economic statistic.  The Black family is weaker.  The Black church is more apostate. The Black economy is nonexistent.  Black government is corrupt.  Black education is terrible.  Are we celebrating failure, or was this their intention?

To have been a Christian minister, it is illuminating that King’s ideology is anathema to Christianity, manliness, and American freedom.  Consider this: after attempting to integrate an all-White hotel in 1965, when asked what he wanted, King reported replied, “My dignity.”  I hate this story.  God gave all of us our dignity, but King and his minions taught America that White people held the dignity of Black America in their hands, and we had to beg them to release it.

His low opinion of Black people was on full display when he said Black people could not pull themselves up by their bootstraps because “they did not have boots.”  He told us non-violence is a Christian virtue.  That is not true.  There is no virtue in strong Christian men allowing their wives and children to be beaten, raped, and murdered as King demanded.  Non-aggression is a Christian virtue, not non-violence.

Forced integration or forcing others to allow you to be where you are not wanted or not invited is not a Christian or manly virtue.  It is offensive to force your presence upon another, and Jesus taught that we should never offend unless it is for his sake and never our own.  To do otherwise defines you as a stalker.  A stalker can never be loved — only pitied, as most Black Americans are today.

In his epic “I Have A Dream” speech, reportedly written by his White communist handler, Stanley Levinson, King planted a sense of perpetual slavery in the minds of every Black person when he said, “One hundred years after the Emancipation Proclamation, the Negro is still not free.”  That is not true.  I was born free.  God gave me my freedom.

In that speech, he placed in the Black mind the blasphemous idea that government is above God when he said we have come here to cash a check from America guaranteeing our unalienable rights.  That isn’t true.  Our unalienable rights are given to us by God.  According to John Locke, these rights are irreversible, unsellable, and nontransferable.

Cementing in the minds of Black Americans and America the belief in Black inferiority, he delivered his most quoted line: “I have a dream that one day my four little children will not be judged by the color of their skin.”  You wish not to be judged only by something that shames you.  One should never be ashamed of something that God gave him.  Furthermore, Christianity teaches that we cannot and should not try to control the actions of others.  The stupid, ignorant racist should not be concerned about me.  I am never concerned about his judgment or bigotry.  We can only control ourselves.  There’s nothing wrong with the color of my Black skin.  You are welcome to judge me by it.  Underestimate me at your peril.

He ended this epic speech by doubling down on the fact that Blacks were not free, and we needed the permission of White people to be free by saying “knowing that we will be free one day” and on a certain day we can say, “Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty, we’re free at last.”

Let me reiterate:  I was born free.  No man can set me free.  I just am.

His speech set in motion decades of Black victimization and White guilt.  It is recited from every classroom in America, indoctrinating future generations to believe the lie of Black inferiority and the goodness of government dependency.  Instead of being recited, it should be re-evaluated, condemned, and placed in the trash bin of history beside the Dred Scott and Plessy v. Ferguson rulings.

These King statements that have long been a part of America and are canon in Black American thought must be pulled up, root and stem.  White Americans are not responsible for and cannot solve the problems of Black people.  No other racial group in America carries this badge of inferiority, depending for all their future success on the actions of another racial group.  Most comprehend the insanity of this ideology, and the present condition of Black society testifies to its epic failure.  Therefore, King’s reckoning is at hand, and as with the old Confederacy, it’s time for a reconsideration.

Regarding King, Jim Tott wrote, “Toward the end of his life, a major poll found that nearly two-thirds of Americans held an unfavorable opinion of the civil rights icon.”  On March 4, 2015, CBS News ran a story titled “Have the goals of the civil rights movement been achieved”  Fifty-four percent of all Americans and 72% of Black Americans say no.

With all the speeches, marches, and pieces of legislation, with no success, it is time to understand that King was wrong.  Black Americans cannot garner love and respect through legislative coercion.  History has proven that it is a waste of time even to seek it.  We should spend our time trying to control and improve ourselves, praying for and protecting ourselves from people who mean us harm, while cherishing the people we love.

There is evidence that King’s new society that teaches pity, not esteem, begging instead of earning, and stalking instead of standing has bred an insidious self-hate among Black people.  Sadly, wherever Black people live in close proximity with one another, they hurt, disrespect, and kill each other on an industrial level while aborting their children at three times the level of white women.

When stalking, begging, and pity didn’t work, King resorted to violence.  He contracted out his violence to a third party.  He used the gun of the federal government to force the racist Democrats to allow Black Americans into their presence.  Intentionally or unintentionally, King placed Black America into the sad position where they are now not respected, but pitied; where they are not wanted, but tolerated; where they do not earn, but are “given” — thus leaving too many of these Black people filled with hate, pride, envy, and grievance, devoid of gratitude, never satisfied, always complaining, and never saying “thank you” or thanking God.

This line of thinking has produced a generation of Black people where there exist mostly victims and their victimhood-supporters and allies: Black Lives Matter, the Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP — all marvelous beggars, cowards, and thieves.

Taylor Branch, in his book Parting the Waters: America in the King Years, called Martin Luther King, Jr. “a pawn of history.”  He is that and much worse.  He is a weapon the left wields in the Democrat party, designed to keep America in condemnation and Black people in their place.

King’s aforementioned amoral actions are germane only in the sense that they match the amoral outcomes of the Civil Rights Movement.  Blacks must take their place as free men and women, complete with all of its dangers and glories.  Black men of honor must reject all condescending overtures of affirmative action, the pity of Critical Race Theory, and the weakness of “anti-racist theory” from our former oppressors.  We must compete, earn, and defend as all free men do.

Because of King’s abusive behavior toward women, David Garrow concluded his piece on King by saying these actions “pose[] so fundamentally a challenge to his historical stature as to require the most complete and extensive historical review possible.”  This may be true.  But the wretched condition of Black America is the primary black mark on King’s legacy and the ultimate reason for his re-evaluation.

Until Black Americans reject King’s ideology and accept that we should be esteemed by instead of ashamed of the color of our skin; that we, not White America, hold our dignity in our hands; that our rights come from God, not government; that we are and always have been free, and that we should never stalk, beg, and compare ourselves to White America or anyone ever again other than our former selves, Black America will remain at the bottom of every socio-economic statistic in the Western world.

Dangerous freedom over safe slavery; justice over equality; strength and honor over pity, envy, and stalking.  This is the true face of America and what God intends for all people.

The Weekly Sam: America Started with Educational Freedom By Samuel L. Blumenfeld

 

One of the reasons why the United States of America got off to such a great start is
because we had total educational freedom. When the Constitution was written, there was
already by then a great variety of teaching institutions. The Dames Schools were colonial
preschools in which children were taught the three R’s in preparation for going on to an
academy. The academy was a private school run by an educational entrepreneur. It
prepared students for higher learning or a trade or profession. They were considered the
most appropriate educational institution for a free people. Their responsibility was to the
parents who put their children in the academy.

Home tutoring was also very common in those days. There was no such thing as
“compulsory school attendance.” Parents were free to provide their children with any
fonn of education which met their needs. Children were taught to read and write in the
Dames Schools, which were keenly aware that Biblical literacy was an absolute necessity
in a society based on the teachings of the Bible.

In New England, laws had been passed requiring parents to educate their children. This
spurred the creation of Common Schools throughout the region. Towns hired teachers to
run such schools. Their main function was to prepare the students for future studies in
the colleges. They were owned and operated by the local folks who usually paid the
schoolmasters with commodities rather than money.

The beauty of this high degree of freedom was that education was practical, its
foundation based on reality. Whatever was taught was intended to improve the
knowledge, skills, and aptitudes of the students. The community’s basic purpose in
education was to pass on to the future generation the knowledge, wisdom, religion and
morals of the previous generation. There was no such thing as religious neutrality. The
United States was a Christian nation and all agreed that children should be inculcated in
the tenets of Christianity. And anyone who went into the education profession knew its
spiritual purposes.

But then the question arises: why did Americans give up educational freedom so early in
their history when its benefits were so obvious? Believe it or not, it had nothing to do
with economics or poor teaching. Literacy was very high and education was available to
everyone. There were even excellent charity schools that provided education for the
children of the poor. There was no need for the government to get involved in education.
But in Boston, the government did get involved in establishing the Boston Latin School,
an elite school to prepare students for Harvard. It was funded by the city even though the
. parents of the students could easily have paid its costs. But the liberals in Boston were
already looking to government to establish an elite institution separated from the church.
What happened to create this state of mind? It was the rise of the Unitarian heresy at
Harvard among the descendants of the Puritans. Intellectual pride became the spearhead
of religious Liberalism.

The Unitarians no longer believed in the Trinity or in the divinity of Christ. If Christ was
divine it was in the sense that we are all divine. But while Christ was considered a great
teacher, he was not considered to be the source of salvation. The Unitarians also rejected
Calvin’s view of man as being innately depraved who needed to be saved by Jesus Christ.
The Unitarians believed that man was basically good, and that all he needed was a good
secular education to achieve moral perfectibility.

And so the Boston Unitarians launched a strong campaign to create government primary
schools in which Calvinist teachings would be eliminated. They were successful because
they learned how to influence the press, control the legislature, and get what they wanted.
As the public school movement grew, the orthodox were in a dilenuna as to whether or
not to support it. In 1849, the orthodox General Association of Massachusetts decided in
favor of support with this very important stipulation. They wrote:
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.

There is no question that the “full and faithful experiment” has been a colossal failure,
and that millions of Christian children have been spiritually harmed. While many parents
have taken their children out of the public schools, and hundreds if not thousands of
church schools have been founded, the vast majority of Christian parents still put their
children in these anti-Christian public schools. In other words, we have still to learn the
lessons of history.

New research finds the natural seasonality of coronaviruses had more influence on the COVID-19 pandemic than government interventions

 
 

A new international study on the course of the COVID-19 pandemic in six northern European countries has unexpectedly discovered that the pre-existing seasonal nature of coronaviruses may have played more of a role during the pandemic than any of the government public health intervention policies – including vaccinations, lockdowns, masks and travel restrictions. The scientific study was published in the peer-reviewed journal, Journal of Clinical Medicine.

 

The international team of scientists and medical experts used 10 years of human coronavirus monitoring data collected in Sweden before the pandemic to estimate the seasonal variations in coronavirus incidence in northern Europe. They then used publicly available data on the COVID-19 pandemic for six northern European countries (Ireland, UK, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland) to compare the relative contributions to the progression of the pandemic in each country of: (1) seasonality; (2) vaccination programmes; and (3) other public health measures. They studied the various waves of the pandemic from early 2020 until May 2023, when the WHO declared the public health emergency over.

 

The authors found that the increases and decreases of each wave consistently followed the natural seasonal behaviour of coronaviruses – increasing during the winter “cold and flu season” and decreasing during the summer. In contrast, the scientific team were surprised to find no clear or consistent influence from either the vaccination programmes or the many public health interventions that were implemented.

 

A summary of the key findings of the study are provided in the table below:

 

The lead author, Dr. Gerry Quinn, a research scientist specialising in microbiology and immunology, described the significance of these surprising findings as follows:

“Since the start of the pandemic, governments and societies around the world have been implementing unprecedented measures in an attempt to control the spread of the virus. Whenever cases began to fall, many people believed that this was due to the public health interventions. But, a careful examination of all the available data shows that this belief was mistaken. It now transpires that most of the changes were probably due to natural seasonal changes of coronaviruses.”

Another author of the study, Prof. Karol Sikora (Medical Director of Cancer Partners International and Consultant Oncologist; former Director of the WHO Cancer Programme), emphasized:

“The finding that most of the apparent successes of the government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic were actually due to the natural seasonality of coronaviruses makes the negative health impacts of the lockdowns and other interventions even more disturbing. In the UK, we are still reeling from the harms these policies caused for cancer treatment and diagnosis and many other health concerns throughout the pandemic. Now, it seems that these dramatic health interventions did not even noticeably alter the progression of the pandemic.”

Prof. Norman Fenton, a Professor Emeritus of Risk at Queen Mary University of London and a mathematician who specializes in data analysis and statistics, was also a co-author. He warned that,

“From the beginning of the pandemic, there have been major problems in the interpretation of the publicly available COVID-19 data. During the first waves, health agencies were still developing, changing and increasing testing capacity. This meant that initial attempts to evaluate the COVID-19 public health measures were hindered by inconsistencies in the official data. Ambiguities in the definitions of COVID-19 vaccination statuses also led to considerable confusion in assessing the impacts of the vaccination programmes. Another problem was that many of the model-based studies only considered either the first or the second wave.
However, this comprehensive new study overcame many of these statistical challenges by considering five different indicators of the pandemic and separately analyzing each country over multiple waves of the pandemic. The results show that the overwhelming influence of seasonality created a false, and scientifically invalid, confidence in the many previously untested public health interventions that most governments used.”

The study was published on 6th January 2024.

From Our Friends at the Article V Convention Alert Team: End of the Year Report

 

End of Year Update

Thank you for hanging in there with us and responding to the blasts. This will be our 9th year following legislation bankrolled by those who have proved they’ll do just about anything to get their hands on our Constitution.

Get ready to be bombarded, as State Legislatures have already started to roll out. On the positive side, 2024 is an election year, and legislators should be anxious to get back home to raise money and campaign.

During 2023, we followed 127 Article V Convention bills in 44 States—mostly Applications—but also Rescission, Rules changes, Repeal of sunsets, and Delegate bills. And we issued 105 alerts for 18 States where we felt citizen action was necessary.

Only two Article V Convention applications passed: in Oklahoma (Term Limits) and in California (Gun Control). Oklahoma’s wasn’t important, as it was already being counted toward the requisite 34 states, having passed the BBA and COS applications in prior years. California’s application appears to have been a ploy to get attention by California Gov. Newsom who claimed he wasn’t seeking the Democratic presidential nomination. We should know soon enough if any Democrat states follow suit.

Convention of States (COS) applications are the most important to defeat because of COS’s penchant for buying hype and hoopla to feign a groundswell of public support. Fortunately, our side was able to stop COS in all 26 states they attempted in 2023. A couple of those applications may come to life again in 2024. We must be vigilant.

In Kansas, COS got a majority floor vote on both its House and Senate applications. But they failed to get the 2/3 majority required by the Kansas Constitution. Pro-convention legislators were so accommodating as to change their rules to make it easier for Meckler to win in federal court should he follow through with his vow to sue Kansas for complying with their own Constitution. 

But Meckler never went to court, possibly because a federal court opinion in Meckler’s favor and against the Kansas Constitution, might highlight the fact that State Legislatures can’t control an Art. V convention! Months after they lost Kansas, COS Leadership simply boosted their state count from 19 to 20. Few noticed.

In that vein, CON Lobby counterparts in DC declared victory in 2022. They announced that the 34-state threshold had been crossed by Nevada’s passing an application for a BBA in…(drum roll)…1979! No matter that Nevada’s BBA had been rescinded 5 years before the announcement! Incredibly, the CON lobby found a congressman to introduce legislation to that effect with a straight face. H.CON.RES. 24 (2023) is a congressional call for a convention under article V which validates all state applications passed since 1788, regardless of subject, obsolescence, age, constitutionality, having since been rescinded, etc—as long as 2/3 of the states ever had a non-rescinded application on record at the same time. If H.CON.RES 24 passes, the Con lobby will get the unlimited convention it’s been salivating over for the past decade.

In June, we celebrated the success of our liberal friends’ rescission of all previously-passed A5C applications in Oregon. That makes 12 States to date with no active applications. Assuming we can defeat H.CON.RES. 24 and rescind in 5 more states, there won’t be 34 states left for Congress to count!

Thank you again for your activism in defending our Constitution. Without your part in helping to fight, the CON Lobby might have feigned enough momentum by now to steal our Constitution. It’s amazing that truth and logic have thus far held their own against unlimited dark money and the forces of evil. You have made a difference.

Thank you for defending our Constitution!
In Liberty,Judi, Andy, and Lynette

Battle of Princeton: “Washington advanced so near the enemy’s lines that his horse refused to go further” – American Minute with Bill Federer

 

  Battle of Princeton: “Washington advanced so near the enemy’s lines that his horse refused to go further”

Frederick the Great of Prussia called these ten days “the most brilliant in the world’s history.”
After winning the Battle of Trenton, Christmas Day evening, 1776, George Washington’s 1,200 man force faced General Cornwallis’ 4,500 man British army.
Washington was fighting the army of the globalist King of Great Britain — the most powerful military on the planet.

On the night of January 2, 1777, Washington left his campfires burning and marched his army around the back of a portion of Cornwallis’ army – the 1,400 British troops camped at Princeton, New Jersey.
He ordered his soldiers to march in absolute silence, even wrapping their guns with heavy cloth to lessen the noise of troop movement.
British commander Lord Cornwallis ordered Colonel Mawhood to join his regiments to the rest of the British army.
This providentially, resulted in the British ceasing to patrol the very roads Washington was marching on.
At daybreak, January 3, 1777, Washington attacked the British from behind.
This was similar to what the British did to the Americans at the Battle of Brooklyn Heights a little over four months earlier.
At the Battle of Princeton, the surprised British immediately fought back, sending forth a bayonet charge which killed dozens of American soldiers.
One of those killed was General Hugh Mercer, who had fought with Washington in the French and Indian War, and in the Battle of Trenton.
Hugh Mercer’s descendants included WWII General George S. Patton.
After Mercer was killed, the British pressed their counter-attack.
The American militia under General John Cadwalader began to panic and flee.
To stop the retreat, General George Washington immediately rode to the front of the line and ordered the soldiers to stop running away.
He commanded them to turn around and follow him back to the front lines.
Washington rode extremely close to the British, within just 30 yards.
Turning and facing his men, Washington yelled:
“Halt!”
“Aim,”
then “Fire!”
The British immediately fired a volley in return.
The field of battle was filled with a cloud of smoke.
Many thought Washington was surely shot, as he was exposed to fire from both sides.
Irishman John Fitzgerald, who was an American aide-de-camp, pulled down his hat down to cover his eyes so as to not see Washington killed.
But when the smoke cleared, to their dismay, Washington was seen on his horse, waving to his men to charge ahead.
The Americans charged and won a great victory at the Battle of Princeton.
An estimated 100 British were killed or wounded, and over 300 captured, as compared to only 23 Americans killed and 20 wounded.
Enthusiasm swept America. Though it took nearly seven more years of fighting till the Revolutionary War ended, this battle was a major turning point.
British historian Sir George Otto Trevelyan wrote of the American victories at Trenton and Princeton:
“It may be doubted whether so small a number of men ever employed so short a space of time with greater and more lasting effects upon the history of the world.”
President Calvin Coolidge stated October 28, 1925:
“Distinguished military critics have described Washington’s campaign of Trenton and Princeton as a military exploit of unparalleled brilliancy.”

The equestrian statue at Washington Circle in Washington, D.C., depicts General Washington at the Battle of Princeton.
At the statue’s dedication in 1860, sculptor Clark Mills stated:
“… at the Battle of Princeton where Washington, after several ineffectual attempts to rally his troops, advanced so near the enemy’s lines that his horse refused to go further, but stood and trembled while the brave rider sat undaunted with reins in hand.
But while his noble horse is represented thus terror stricken, the dauntless hero is calm and dignified, ever believing himself the instrument in the hand of Providence to work out the great problem of liberty.”
Yale President Ezra Stiles described General George Washington as the American version of the Israelite commander Joshua, in an Election Address before the Governor and General Assembly of Connecticut, May 8, 1783:
“Congress put at the head of this spirited army, the only man, on whom the eyes of all Israel were placed …
… This American Joshua was raised up by God, and divinely formed by a peculiar influence of the Sovereign of the Universe, for the great work of leading the armies of this American Joseph …
and conducting this people through the severe, the arduous conflict, to liberty and independence …”
Ezra Stiles continued:
“In our lowest and most dangerous estate in 1776 and 1777, we sustained ourselves against the British army of sixty thousand troops commanded by Howe, Burgoyne, and Clinton, and other the ablest generals Britain could procure throughout Europe, with a naval force of 22,000 seamen in above eighty British men of war …
… This was sealed and confirmed by God Almighty in the victory of General Washington at Trenton,
and in the surprising movement and battle of Princeton; by which astonishing effort of generalship, General Howe and the whole British army, in elated confidence and in open-mouthed march for Philadelphia, was instantly stopped, remanded back, and cooped up for a shivering winter in the little borough of Brunswick.
Thus God turned the battle to the gate; and this gave a finishing to the foundation of the American Republic …”
Stiles ended:
“Who but a Washington, inspired by Heaven, could have struck out the great movement and maneuver of Princeton? …
The United States are under peculiar obligations to become a holy people unto the Lord our God.”

The True Meaning of Christmas

 

I have mostly pleasant memories of CHRISTmas past- though some are in “baby fog”. It is special to me though it may be hard for some to which I am compassionate.

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men” (Luke 2:14).

The true meaning of Christmas is this: God took on the form of a human to die in our place, paying for our sins, so that humans who receive Him might be forgiven and be with Him forever.

 You are free to reject that message and the One who delivered it, but what you are not free to do is to redefine or change the message into something that fits your own beliefs and choices.

 As the carol says, “Where meek souls will receive Him still, the dear Christ enters in.”
The world today is a sad place, and those who love freedom sometimes feel we are shoveling against the tide. But for just a moment, at this time of year, we should pause and remember an event that occurred about 2,000 years ago in the Middle East.

 The world then was a far worse place, yet a light seared through the darkness. A baby was born in a cave. The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. The baby came into the world so that we might have life and live it abundantly. The baby came into the world so that we would be set free from our own sins, free from the temptations of the world and free from the governments that seek to control us.

 The baby was the Son of God and the Prince of Peace and the Savior of the world. This week we celebrate His birthday.
Merry CHRISTmas.

The Fall of Minneapolis features interviews of dozens of officers, witnesses, and experts who were there during the riots and the aftermath following the arrest and death of George Floyd. After years of in-depth research, we show the evidence that others have ignored or outright censored. This is everything they don’t want you to see. From George Floyd’s criminal history, to questionable witness testimony, and the media manipulation in between, get the facts and watch the lies fall apart.
