Christian Nationalism: The Latest Bugaboo of the Left
According to vocabulary.com a “bugaboo” is a noun: A source of concern “the old bugaboo of inflation still bothers them–type of concern, headache, vexation, worry -something or someone that causes anxiety, a source of unhappiness.
The Left does an excellent job promoting bugaboos especially in the wake of the election of Congressman Mike Johnson to Speaker of the House of Representatives. The recent bugaboo off the Left used to scare its donors is Christian Nationalism. An on-line search for the term will lead to a plethora of articles from the usual suspects: The New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, and the pens of clergy in liberal Christian churches -the ones that consider the U.S flag a symbol of hate but fly the banner of the anti-Semitic Black Lives Matter.
According to Brian Karem a columnist at Salon, Chrisitan Nationalism is a bigger threat to the United States than Hamas.
So, what is Chrisitan Nationalism, and should we be concerned that these Chistian Nationalists are on the verge of taking over the United States and setting up a theocracy? If you ask a staff writer from the sources mentioned about or the ladies on “The View” or a theological professor at an Ivy League college or an anchor on CNN, and MSNBC, they will tell you that Christian Nationalism is the believe that the United States was founded as a Christian nation and only Christians should be allowed to live here. They may even add the word “white” to convince you that this dangerous movement about to destroy democracy is racist as well. Here is how Wikipedia defines it:
“Christian nationalism is a type of religious nationalism that is affiliated with Christianity, in which the end goal is to achieve a Christian theocracy within a society. It primarily focuses on the internal politics of society, such as legislating civil and criminal laws that reflect their view of Christianity and the role of religion in political and social life.”
And according to the Left, if you are flying one of these flags, you are most likely a Christian Nationalist:
A perusal of our nation’s organic documents proves that the United States was founded by those of the Chrisian faith. Here are just a few examples:
Mayflower Compact 1620:
IN THE NAME OF GOD, AMEN. We, whose names are underwritten, the Loyal Subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord King James, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France, and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, &c. Having undertaken for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and the Honour of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the first Colony in the northern Parts of Virginia; Do by these Presents, solemnly and mutually, in the Presence of God and one another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil Body Politick…”
Fundamental Orders of Connecticut 1639
FORASMUCH as it hath pleased the Almighty God by the wise disposition of his divine providence so to Order and dispose of things that we the Inhabitants and Residents of Windsor, Harteford and Wethersfield are now cohabiting and dwelling in and upon the River of Connecticut and the Lands thereunto adjoining; And well knowing where a people are gathered together the word of God requires that to maintain the peace and union of such a people there should be an orderly and decent Government established according to God,,, to maintain and pressure the liberty and purity of the gospel of our Lord Jesus which we now profess…”
The Declaration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, and they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights.
Massachusetts State Constitution:
Article II.
It is the right as well as the duty of all men in society, publicly, and at stated seasons to worship the Supreme Being, the great Creator and Preserver of the universe. And no subject shall be hurt, molested, or restrained, in his person, liberty, or estate, for worshipping God in the manner and season most agreeable to the dictates of his own conscience; or for his religious profession or sentiments; provided he doth not disturb the public peace, or obstruct others in their religious worship.
New Hampshire State Constitution:
[Art.] 6. [Morality and Piety.] As morality and piety, rightly grounded on high principles, will give the best and greatest security to government, and will lay, in the hearts of men, the strongest obligations to due subjection; and as the knowledge of these is most likely to be propagated through a society, therefore, the several parishes, bodies, corporate, or religious societies shall at all times have the right of electing their own teachers, and of contracting with them for their support or maintenance, or both. But no person shall ever be compelled to pay for the support of the schools of any sect or denomination. And every person, denomination or sect shall be equally under the protection of the law; and no subordination of any one sect, denomination, or persuasion to another shall ever be established.
George Washington’s farewell address:
“…Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great Pillars of human happiness…”
And, in a letter to Massachusetts Militia officers, President John Adams wrote:
“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”[1] Morality and virtue are the foundation of our republic and necessary for a society to be free…”
I have been a Christian for most of my adult life and have been involved in Patriotic organizations since 1988. While the political and theological views of people that make up the Christian church and the Patriot movement vary widely, I do not know of any group of Christians whose goal is to set up some sort of Christian Republic excluding all others. Indeed, the vast majority of those the Left call Christian Nationalists are sympathetic to the State of Israel and either serve or support missionaries all over the world.
Contrary to the teaching of International Atheists, Christians are instructed to live peaceably with their neighbors, to love their neighbors and to pray for their enemies. Christians have the duty to speak out against the “unfruitful works or darkness,” (Ephesians 5:11) and an obligation to fulfill the Great Commission where they are commanded to “make disciples off all nations.” (Mathew 28:19-22). I think that troubles the Atheist Internationalists the most.
To use a sports analogy: Christians, have, for the most part, been sitting on the sidelines, while the Left has dominated the playing field. But conservative Christians are now in the game and putting points on the board. This frightens the Left and they have a need to promote fear and hatred of Chrisian conservatives. That fear and hatred has been manifested in the Biden Administration with its weaponization of the Justice Department. But, as we are told by our Lord in Matthew 16, “The Gates of Hell shall not prevail.”

George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation
[New York, 3 October 1789]
By the President of the United States of America. a Proclamation.
Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor—and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me “to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.”
Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be—That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks—for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation—for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war—for the great degree of tranquillity, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed—for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted—for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.
and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions—to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually—to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed—to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord—To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us—and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

The Weekly Sam: Did the KGB Kill Kennedy? by Sam Blumenfeld
Today, marks the 60th anniversary of the assassination of President John Kennedy. Our late friend Sam Blumenfeld did extensive research on the assassination and went on a speaking tour of the United States. He steadfastly believed that the KGB with the help of the CIA was responsible. He planned to publish a book about his findings but got as far as this unpublished manuscript:
http://blumenfeld.campconstitution.net/Manuscripts/Did%20The%20KGB%20Kill%20Kennedy.pdf
We would like to publish this and are looking for a volunteer to edit the manuscript.

None Dare Call It Conspiracy
I recently saw a meme that read: “I need new conspiracy theories because all my old ones have come true.” ‘The Insiders” now called the “Deep State” and its operatives have derided those who dare draw different conclusions that the narrative they put forward as “conspiracy theorists.” Like being called a racist or some type of “phobe”, that label is supposed to end the discussion. Many conservatives will begin a sentence with the clause “While I am not a conspiracy theorist…” This immediately puts them on the defensive. And while there are plenty of crazy theories out there, some of which I believe are manufactured to discredit those who don’t accept the Deep State’s narrative, there have been numerous articulate promoters of the conspiratorial view of history- the late Garty Allen being one of them.
Gary Allen’s epiphany is explained in his article “How the Left Turned Me Right.” In the article, Gary tried to set a conservative on his college football team straight. The player loaned him a short stack of books to prove his position, and Gary read them. Instead of refuting his teammates worldview, the information in the books changed his mind and became on the nation’s top promoters and defenders of the conspiratorial view of history. From the mid 1960’s until his death in 1988, he wrote extensively on the subject covering morality, economics, race relations, banking, and international affairs. He also did on-site reporting. His articles in the monthly “American Opinion” https://s3.amazonaws.com/camppictures/CampArchive/index.html proved that he was a generation ahead of his time. Unlike many conservative authors that come out with a ghost-written book every other month that contains little useful information, offering no solutions accept to vote Republican and, of course, buy the author’s next book, Gary’s books were meant to be widely distributed.
In 1972, Gary Allen published None Dare Call It Conspiracy. Over six million copies were distributed, and the book is still having an impact on people today. Gary also toured the country and appeared on many independent radio stations. Here is one of Gary’s presentations that he gave on the subject:

The History of Veterans Day
History of Veterans Day
World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” – officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France.
However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918,… is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”
The United States Congress officially recognized the end of World War I when it passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1926, with these words:
Whereas the 11th of November 1918, marked the cessation of the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals and the resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be severed, and
Whereas it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations; and
Whereas the legislatures of twenty-seven of our States have already declared November 11 to be a legal holiday: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), that the President of the United States is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on November 11 and inviting the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies of friendly relations with all other peoples. (The above is from the Veterans Administration.)

Shooting Back The Right and Duty of Self Defense: A Presentation by Charl van Wyk
In September, Camp Constitution Speaker’s Bureau hosted six speaking engagements for Charl van Wyk in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine.
Charl Van Wyk was just an ordinary Christion man until July 25, 1993 – the day that would become known as the St. James Massacre. It was on this date that Charl van Wyk shot back at the terrorists who were attacking an innocent congregation gathered in worship and saved many lives in the process. Charl tells his story on this video. Charl, now a missionary in Africa is the author of several books including Shooting Back The Right and Duty of Self Defense, Reloaded Shooting Back Again, and How to Win A Gunfight Without Being a Great Shot available as a free PDF download here: https://campconstitution.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/How-to-Win-a-Gunfight-Even-If-Youre-Not-a-Good-Shot.pdf
This presentation took place at the Lane House in Lexington on Monday September 18, and videotaped by our friend Bill McNally

United Nations Day of Shame
Today, October 24, marks the birthday of the United Nations-the House That Hiss Built. It was sold to a war weary world as “mankind’s last and best hope for peace.” The true purpose for its creation was to be the vehicle towards a one world government. Its first acting secretary who wrote the United Nation’s charter was Alger Hiss, a spy for the Soviet Union. Its “peacekeepers” have engaged in atrocities including bombing hospitals, rape, child prostitution. It has a history of enabling terrorists, and its agents support abortion and homosexuality.
Below are a few educational recourses that are available on Camp Constitution’s on-line bookstore.

Resources to Fight the Green Mafia
Recently, I made a posting on a local Facebook page making the claim that climate change is a hoax. While most in the group agreed with me, one member of the group took serious exception to my post and wrote: “CLIMATE CHANGE HOAX??? Are you KIDDING ME??? If at this point you still think it’s a HOAX, you are an absolute FOOL.”
It is quite understandable why this person believes that climate change is real, and anyone who opposes the idea is an “absolute fool’ or worse. We are inundated with climate change or global warming chicken littles from Greta “How Dare You” Thunberg to the corporate media to government schools to the Democrat Party, to the big non-profit foundations that fund every United Nations friendly non-government organization. Some of these chicken littles are genuine ideologues while some are in it for the money. They make up what I call the Green Mafia. And while they may not have their opponents “sleeping with the fishes,” they love to fire, ban, boycott and demonize their opponents.
Like the vast majority of members of the Green Mafia, I am not a scientist, but I have many friends who are. In addition to my many scientist friends, I have been around almost sixty-five years and remember past predictions of the chicken littles that have come to naught. One of the earliest was my eighth-grade teacher who told us that we may be facing an ice age or global cooling.
Then in the mid-1980s, the chicken littles told us that acid rain would kill all of the fish in the oceans, lakes, and ponds. Former Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis gave a press conference at Turners Pond in Milton, MA. He said that acid rain killed all of the fish in the pond. A few weeks later, I visited the pond and to my surprise, I saw people catching fish. I had been lied too. Around the same time, The Boston Globe published an article reporting that acid rain is killing the maple trees in Vermont. A few years later while visiting Vermont, I picked up a local paper and read an article reporting that Vermont has experienced its largest maple sugar crop in the state’s history. Then, it was the ozone hole. We were all going to get skin cancer because we were destroying the ozone layer by using aerosol cans. The ozone hole was huge in the Antarctic during the winter months. The chicken littles failed to report is that the sun is needed to make ozone, and it is dark in the Antarctic during the winter but when the sunlight returns, the ozone is replenished.
