The New World Order and Joe Biden

Article II of the U.S. Constitution is where the powers and duties of the President of the United States are found.  Nowhere in the President’s job description do we find “The most powerful person in the free world.”  Nor do we find any reference to a “New World Order.’  Recently, at an appearance at the Business Roundtable, a D.C. based lobbyist group, Biden supported a New World Order-one which would be led by the United States.  What is the New World Order?  It was defined by George H.W. Bush in a speech before a joint session of Congress September 11, 1991 where he pointed to the Gulf War and said “What we have here is a real chance of a New World Order,”  and a “United Nations as defined by its founders.”   The United Nations was primarily made up of communists including Alger Hill, its first acting secretary and the one who co-authored the U.N. Charter.

Biden has been a long supporter of the New World Order.  He wrote an article in the April 23, 1992 Wall Street Journal entitled “How I Learned to Love the New World Order:

The New World Order is the endgame of the Deep State.  It needs to be exposed, and opposed and elected officials at all levels who promote this must be voted out and replaced with those who obey the U.S. Constitution and put the interests of the United States first and foremost.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Weekly Sam: How The Unitarians Took Over Government Schools in America

Homeschool pioneer and author Sam Blumenfeld gives a timeless presentation on how Unitarians took over government schools in the United States.  Sam used to refer to government schools as Unitarian Prep Schools since Unitarians promote socialism, evolution, and globalism.     https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/shurtleffhal/episodes/2022-03-19T07_42_37-07_00

Remembering Evacuation Day-Dorchester Heights Boston, MA

Henry Knox Color Guard of the Massachusetts Sons of the American Revolution Commemorates Evacuation Day at Dorchester Heights South Boston Thursday March 11, 2021. The original Evacuation Day took place on March 17, 1776. Evacuation Day remembers the first major American military victory in the American Revolutionary War, which saw the British troops leave Boston on March 17, 1776. General George Washington, who became the United States’ first president, fortified Dorchester Heights by using cannons captured earlier from Fort Ticonderoga. The armies lobbed shells at each other during the movement, with colonists escalating the action on March 4, distracting the British soldiers’ attention. General William Howe, of the British Army, woke up on March 5 that year to find that there were heavy guns aimed at his solders and down at the British fleet. Rather than repeat the heavy casualties of the Battle of Bunker Hill, the British troops left in haste on March 17 and never returned. This was a major psychological victory for General Washington and the colonists. The American Continental Army’s sacrifices and efforts played a big role in establishing what is known today as the United States of America. The Evacuation Day holiday was proclaimed in 1901 after a failed attempt in 1876.

 

Cancel Culture Loses In Syracuse, NY: Columbus Statue Stays

Cultural Marxists were dealt a defeat in Syracuse, NY when a judge ruled that its mayor did not have the authority to remove a statue of Christopher Columbus.  This is what happens when Americans push back.   Here is the news release form the Columbus Monument Corporation:

A STATEMENT FROM THE COLUMBUS MONUMENT CORPORATION of Syracuse, NY

We are pleased with the Court’s decision to preserve the historic Columbus Monument as
is, in its original location, where it was dedicated by over 40,000 Onondaga County citizens
in 1934. We appreciate the Court’s careful consideration of our petition requesting that
this important public art be preserved. The decision reflects the extent to which the court
heard and analyzed the arguments of all parties.

The court confirmed the right of the petitioners to have standing to commence this action.
Some of the petitioners actually contributed money towards the monument’s restoration
over twenty years ago. The Court accepted our arguments and ordered that:

1. The City is required to maintain the Monument as required by law and the trust
provisions of the City Charter;

2. The Columbus Monument is both a piece of recognized public art under the City’s
Code of Ordinances that the City has no right to alter or remove any part of it from its
place on St. Mary’s Circle; and

3. The monument has not exceeded its useful life.
In order to have the right to assert our claims we have not only to demonstrate an illegal
act, but also a “need to demonstrate bad faith”. The Court determined that the Mayor
actually exceeded his authority and that his action was “an overreach and an exemplar of
bad faith”.

The Court’s decision confirmed that the City had entered into a contract to maintain and
preserve the monument for its useful life. At the Mayor’s direction, the City Corporation
Counsel’s office represented to the State that the City “made the decision to remove the
Columbus Statue and modify Columbus Circle” to get around the City’s obligation to
maintain the Columbus Monument for its useful life. The Court found those actions to be
both “disingenuous” and “disheartening”.

The decision also ordered that the misrepresented agreement that the City attempted to file
to hide its obligation to maintain the monument for its useful life is null and void and the
Court order the Onondaga County Clerk to expunge the document from the records.
It remains the position of the Columbus Monument Association and the other petitioners
that changes by certain community leaders about their interpretation, sensitivity and
historical perspective is not a basis to destroy or remove the Columbus Monument.
We reaffirm our openness to work with the community to expand St. Mary’s Circle with
additional perspectives and representations.
With the Court’s resolution of this issue, it is time for everyone to come back together and
work collectively on an additive approach to Syracuse public art, celebrating our city’s other
rich ethnic heritages. This has been the approach taken in New York City. The Columbus
Monument Corporation would be pleased to take a lead role in that initiative.

The Weekly Sam: Before Common Core There Was Outcome Based Education

The enemies of America have been undermining our nation for several generations.  Their influence permeates our entire culture, and the control of our nation’s education was one of their primary targets. The late Sam Blumenfeld dedicated a good portion of his adult life warning Americans about this, and encouraged parents to get their children out of government schools.   In this timeless presentation Sam exposes the people behind it as well as a history of the socialist takeover of the nation’s government schools.   https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/shurtleffhal/episodes/2022-03-12T07_46_37-08_00

None Dare Call It Conspiracy-An Early Expose on the Deep State Available From Camp Constitution’s On-Line Shop

A friend recently donated a large quantity of the 1972 book None Dare Call It Conspiracy by Gary Allen to Camp Constitution.   This batch is a 1st edition that has been in storage for 50 years.  We are making this book available at $15 per copy A link to the on-line shop:  https://campconstitution.net/product/none-dare-call-it-conspiracy-paperback-1st-edition/

A description of the book from an Amazon vendor:

This book is a primer for anyone who wishes to understand the basic workings of the global network of Insiders that is determined to wield power over all of mankind in the coming New World Order.  Introduction by U.S. Congressman John G. Schmitz, the story you are about to read is true. The names have not been changed to protect the guilty. This book may have the effect of changing your life. After reading this book, you will never look at national and world events in the same way again. None Dare Call It Conspiracy will be a very controversial book. At first it will receive little publicity and those whose plans are exposed in it will try to kill it by the silent treatment. For reasons that become obvious as you read this book, it will not be reviewed in all the “proper” places or be available on your local book stand. However, there is nothing these people can do to stop a grass roots book distributing system. Eventually it will be necessary for the people and organizations named in this book to try to blunt its effect by attacking it or the author. They have a tremendous, vested interest in keeping you from discovering what they are doing. And they have the big guns of the mass media at their disposal to fire the barrages at None Dare Call It Conspiracy. By sheer volume, the “experts” will try to ridicule you out of investigating for yourself as to whether or not the information in this book is true, they will ignore the fact that the author about to conjecture. They will find a typographical error or ague some point that is open to debate. If necessary, they will lie in order to protect themselves by smearing this book. I believe those who pooh-pooh the information herein because psychologically many people would prefer to believe we are because we all like to ignore bad news. We do so at our own peril.

 

 

 

 

The Weekly Sam: How the Left Took Over Government Education in the United States and Why Parents Must Take Their Children Out of Government Schools

Sam Blumenfeld, a pioneer in the modern homeschool movement, dedicated most of his adult life warning people about the evils of government schools and promoting the use of intensive phonics.  He based his conclusion on his research which he presents here in this timeless presentation which he did in the late 1980s:

https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/shurtleffhal/episodes/2022-03-04T08_27_11-08_00

Sam rightfully concluded that government schools deliberately dumb-down America’s children.  His works can be found on the Sam Blumenfeld Archives, a valuable free resource for homeschoolers, educators, researchers, historians, and people who have active intellects:  https://campconstitution.net/sam-blumenfeld-archive/

 

 

IS THE WAR IN UKRAINE PART OF THE GREAT COLLAPSE BEFORE THE GREAT RESET? by Dr. Peter Hammond

Picture

To see the Power Point of this presentation click hereThe Great Collapse
Globalists have been planning to stage a Great Collapse as a prerequisite for The Great Reset.

A New Crisis and Pretext for the Great Reset
With rising resistance to the dragged-out Pandemic panic propaganda, the military conflict in Ukraine is being presented by corporate media as unprovoked Russian aggression and justification for further internationalist intervention. “These are the things you shall do: Speak each man the truth to his neighbor; give judgment in your gates for truth, justice, and peace.” Zechariah 8:16

Responding to Provocations
However, from the Russian perspective their military operation in Ukraine is actually a logical reaction to deliberate provocations by the Biden and Obama administrations.


Picture

Creating a Crisis
Biden’s administration has evidently created this crisis to deflect attention from serious political failures at home and to create a scapegoat for The Great Collapse, which the New World Order is so committed to.​The Strategic Threat
The immediate cause of this crisis was Biden’s sudden, arbitrary and unilateral push to integrate Ukraine into NATO, placing anti-Russian armaments close to the Russian border.  This has been the political, geographical and diplomatic equivalent of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, when the Soviet Union attempted to establish military bases in Cuba that could threaten American.

Abusing Ukraine as a Political Football
Ukraine has been used and abused by the US State Department for nefarious New World Order objectives. Ukraine did not ask for this. The European powers did not ask for it. In fact, back in 2013 and 2014, Germany strongly warned of the potentially disastrous consequences of this policy of absorbing Ukraine into NATO. “He who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a dog by the ears.” Proverbs 26:1


Picture

Economic Considerations
Germany also invested over Euro 11 billion into the natural gas pipeline with Russia. Some even suggest that stopping this Nord Stream 2 pipeline has been the primary objective of the Biden administration, to avoid the influence of Russia increasing at American expense.Sponsoring a Revolution
Setting up Russia and backing them into a strategic corner to essentially have no choice but to respond militarily was precisely what Obama, Biden and Clinton achieved in 2014 by sponsoring and encouraging the violent mob violence in the streets of Kiev and the color revolution coup which removed Ukraine’s elected pro-Russian president, replacing him with a client of the US State Department, who then rejected the economic alliance with Russia in favor of integrating with European Union and NATO.  “It is an honor for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.” Proverbs 20:


Picture

The Crisis in Crimea
That 2014 coup in Ukraine, especially as it threatened Russian interests in the Crimean Peninsula, was the geopolitical equivalent of if Russia had seized the US Pacific Ocean naval base in San Diego away from the U.S. The USA could never accept that.Self Determination
To protect Russia’s strategic national interests Putin had no choice but to reclaim their territory, which had been Russian since it was liberated from the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the 1700s and which the population overwhelmingly supported in a referendum. The vast majority of the population in Crimea are ethnically, linguistically and culturally Russian


Picture

The Gay Agenda Connection
Barack Obama (who had come to hate Putin for opposing his LGBTQ agenda, banning gay propaganda to children in Russia in 2013) set up a series of provocative and threatening events like a row of dominoes: so as to be able to accuse Russia of aggression. “…Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord? Therefore, the wrath of the Lord is upon you.” 2 Chronicles 19:2A Pretext for a Protection Racket
That Russian “military aggression” could then be used to restart the Cold War and justify U.S. military intervention in Ukraine as a pretext for plundering it. This initiated a campaign of Mafia-style piracy – a protection racket on a national scale – which was headed by Joe Biden as the godfather, with son Hunter serving as his in-country enforcer. “While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption…” 2 Peter 2:19


Picture

Civil War in Eastern Ukraine
As a direct consequence of the Obama sponsored orange revolution coup and the immediate cancelling of minority (Russian) language rights, regions with an overwhelmingly Russian majority, such as in Donetsk and Luhansk, declared independence from Ukraine. This triggered a civil war which ended with a ceasefire in August 2014 and the boundaries being recognized by the Treaty of Minsk in 2015. Yet hostile actions by the Ukraine government armed forces continued sporadically. Over 15,000 civilians in these separatist regions of eastern Ukraine were killed by Ukrainian armed forces artillery and rocket barrages and airstrikes before this year.The Refusal to Give Non-nuclear Guarantees
When Biden rejected Russia’s demand for a promise that Ukraine would not become a base for anti-Russian nuclear missiles, Putin’s predictable decision was to formally recognize Donetsk and Luhansk as independent countries and to enter into mutual defense agreements. That, from the Russian perspective, justified the current military incursion into these two states, including the offensive assault on Ukraine airports, weapons and military infrastructure.


Picture

Establishing Defensive Buffer Zones
Geographically, Donetsk borders Russia and has a stretch of coastline on the Sea of Azov (with access to the Black Sea) close to Crimea. Luhansk is immediately north of Donetsk and also borders Russia. The two states now form a friendly buffer zone for Russia between itself and U.S.-controlled Ukraine. The Putin strategy is similar to what the U.S. has done in the Balkans and other places and is comparable to similar U.S. actions.Distraction and Scapegoat
With the world’s attention now riveted on Ukraine, the U.S. media has begun blaming America’s internal economic troubles and failings on the Ukraine/Russia conflict. The U.S. elites now have their distraction and their scapegoat in the form of “unprovoked Russian aggression.” The first casualty in war is truth.  “Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips and from a deceitful tongue. Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord. But those who deal truthfully are His delight.” Proverbs 12:22


Picture

The Power of Propaganda
Many politicians and journalists in America are beating the war drums and working up a patriotic fervor to rally behind the presidentpunish Vladimir Putinsupport Ukraine and get US involved in the war. Those who advocate caution or try to explain the complications and context of this conflict, are being branded unpatriotic traitors. The war has the potential to spiral out of control and involve many more countries in Europe and even further afield. “Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor…” Ephesians 4:25Lost Opportunities for Peace
It is well to remember at this time that the USA under Obama and Biden: refused Russian president Vladimir Putin’s proposals for Russian membership in NATO, rejected proposals for a neutral and demilitarised Ukraine, refused restoration of minority language rights for Russians in Ukraine, denied requests for autonomy in Donetsk and Luhansk and most recently rejected requests for guarantees that American missiles would not be placed in Ukraine. “Then Jesus said:… ‘And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.'” John 8:31-32


Picture

Lessons to be Learned
One would hope, at this time of tragic crisis and war, that lessons could be learned.
Meddling in other countries, sponsoring revolutions and coups to topple foreign governments, can have catastrophic consequences.
(This is true not only for the Ukraine, but also for Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria.)
Violating agreements and ignoring warnings can be disastrous.
Abolishing minority language rights for Russians in Ukraine and refusing requests for autonomy in regions with a Russian majority population was not wise.
Continuing to expand NATO and the European Union eastwards, despite repeated warnings from Russia, was viewed as threatening Russia’s strategic security.
Refusing the application by Russia to join NATO was, in hindsight, perhaps not the best policy.
Isolating, enforcing sanctions and threatening Russia not only drove this potential ally away from the West but forced them to make a deal with China.
Russia could be a powerful ally to counter the rising threat of Red China.
Alienating and demonizing Russia has not improved the security of NATO.
American meddling in Ukraine has not improved the lives, or security, of Ukrainians.
“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7

Picture

Lessons of History
As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, declared: “If we do not know our own history, we will simply have to endure all the same mistakes, sacrifices and absurdities all over again.” “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1The New World Disorder
The ultimate objective of globalists is the establishment of a single world government. Most of their actions are guided by their objective of creating political, military and economic conditions favorable to the establishment of such a New World Order. All of the major innovations in foreign policy since World War II — the establishment of the United Nations, the WHO, World Trade Organization, the IMF and the World Bank, the establishment of the European Union and the formation of permanent international military alliances, especially NATO — have had as their purpose replacing independent nations with world government.


Picture

The Great Reset Revolution
The Great Reset is the title of a book by founder and leader of the World Economic Forum –Klaus Schwab. The book articulates how United Nations Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030 will radically restructure everything throughout the world. One could call the Great Reset the Great Revolution. Its goal is ultimately a global welfare state where everybody will be dependent upon a globalist state for everything. It will necessitate the abolition of faith, families and nations. “Who will rise up for Me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for Me against the workers of iniquity?” Psalm 94:16Radical Restructuring of Everything
“The Great Reset” aims to fundamentally reengineer industries, societies, education, agriculture, relationships and even human beings. Its advocates, such as WEF leader Klaus Schwab, declare that “all aspects of our societies and economies” need to be “radically restructured.” Even “our thinking and behavior” will have to dramatically change. “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” Ephesians 5:11


Picture

Pray for the Christians in Russia and Ukraine
“Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the Word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith.” 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2Peter Hammond
