Thanks ... and I have pondered this in my own inimical way for years and there were some 'missing links' in my mind for many years, mostly stemming from a dirth of proper Christian instruction.

My main edit is that the migration to the American shores for the first 200 years was more Christian than Enlightenment, that is more Wittenberg and Geneva plus throw in a liberal dose of Scottish Covenanters. Without this, largely Christian states in America would have been an impossibility. Regarding this, there is not one brain cell in most Americans which can fathom this at all. And absent this, there will be no restoration of American Liberty. The most to be hoped for is a stalking horse delusional facsimile ... pretend liberty but with the state the ruling god. So as Christianity authentic fell, so did the hope that was America.

The real American Exceptionalism lay solely in God's Higher Law. With American Liberty, God's Law ruled supreme and the secular, the civil state could not interpose itself ... could not infringe, trespass. The only exception was that being outlaw God's law, then the civil state could step in for redress or punishment. In other words, God the Sovereignty was real in the American mind, so much so that God's Law was a non-infringe-able jurisdiction unto itself. This should be obvious, but it is not. It should be obvious that any body of law requires a vessel, normal territorial boundaries within which that body operates. Though more complex than this, nontheless this was the gist of it.

Totally agree. As a people, we were founded as a nation of Christian states and, but for brevity, I could have caveated my description more along those lines. You laid it out very well. As I understand it, the Enlightenment thought came across with the Anglo-Saxon elites who ended up establishing themselves as the ruling elite class. The major migration to America were Christians, primarily the Celts, and they set the Christian culture you describe. They came here to escape the Anglo tyranny across the pond and the tyranny ended up following them. This division eventually resulted in the revolt against the USG that lead to the War of Northern Aggression against the southern celtic Christian states. And the rest, as you say, is history.

You are correct in your observation that "there is not one brain cell in most Americans which can fathom this at all. And absent this, there will be no restoration of American Liberty." This is why I believe a new generation will have to arise to accomplish a reformation. I feel like the generation of Moses who were not allowed to enter the promise land because of their trespass against God.

However, I do believe God has reserved to Himself a remnant of Americans in the hinterland that still believe "that God's law is a non-infringeable jurisdiction". We will have to wait upon His providence.

And now maybe two more aircraft carriers are going to the ME? Or is it China? And picking a war with Iran and Syria? Do the idiots running this now 2nd rate power think this is going to work out better than any of the last 70 some years of disastrous war policy? America is exhausted, and you and me? Nope! This is going to end in tears. Berlin May 1945 here we come.

And this is likely to finish me off. Old people and children typically do not do well in collapsed states.

Ooops...

US Bombing Syria to Provoke Iran: Is World War III on the Horizon?

Mike Adams

Things are escalating much faster than we anticipated. The U.S. has just bombed multiple targets in Syria, clearly in an effort to provoke Iran into a missile response.

Meanwhile, U.S. naval forces are converging in the Middle East, obviously in preparation for a major war that risks ballooning into a world war.

Today I bring you a detailed analysis of these latest events, plus an interview with a former Soviet Union naval engineer who is now an author and geopolitical analyst. His analysis of the situation in both Ukraine and the Middle East is spot-on.

I hope you are not saying two more besides the Eisenhower and the Ford? These idiots are going to get us all killed. These carriers are just sitting ducks for a missile attack. If they sink one or both of our carriers, this will be the excuse Obama, aka Biden, wants to declare war and lock down America with war powers decrees. And if we do lose a carrier, the American people will jump right up with instant war fever. Insanity.

Now that is a dark thought. 300,000 Berliners died in the Battle of Berlin.

The report suggested two additional carriers. But they would be one's sailing from San Diego. ??? At any rate, Gaza now appears to be the false flag cover to get at Iran and Syria. It's more insanity and nothing is going to turn out any better than the Ukraine and Afghanistan. We are headed for a disaster even bigger than the Soviet fall.
