Think about the Left's messaging: Wives, hide things from your husband. Children, hide things from your parents. Pregnant women: kill your baby. Kids and young adults:, chop off you reproductive organs. Everyone: having children is immoral as it destroys the environment.

This demonic anti-family agenda could not be any clearer.

The next step is, wives, turn in your husbands. Children, turn in your parents…

Expand full comment

Exactly. George Orwell's 1984 laid out the playbook. The kids turning in their Dad.

That already happens in public schools all across our country - for decades. A client of mine back in 1998 told me how his 14 year old son went to school and told his teacher that his Dad "beats on me" - the next day...an "anger management" social worker showed up at this person's door and REQUIRED that he and his wife both attend "anger management classes" or else their son would be REMOVED FROM THEIR HOME!! The guy had "swatted" the kid across his bum--he hadn't BEAT him - and the kid had broken one of the Dad's "rules of the road". NO PARENTING is required now if your kids are "publicly schooled". THE STATE WILL REAR YOUR CHILDREN!!

Expand full comment

Yes, exactly. I'll bet that came about from the "It takes a village" regime. The children (that they and their ilk prey on) are placed "above" the parents because the "state" will now be raising your kids. And because of that removal of the parents from the equation, they have taken the next step of keeping secrets from the parents in the form of gender mutilation of their kids all in the name of profits for big Pharma and destruction to their god, Moloch. It is insanity. 2+2 does equal 5...

This will not change until the monopoly of government school funding (taxpayers' money) is taken away from these schools. They can get away with it, because they are not held accountable. Too many think that it is just fine. If the funding dries up, so will much of the evil they are perpetrating.

Actually...the public school "system" was ushered in the beginning of the 20th century. Prior to that it was all "parent and private" schooling for grades K-12. Churches sponsored most of the first "primary/secondary" schools. All of this moral degradation occurred in less than 100 years of our country's existence.

That is part of the "consolidation" of larger banks buying up smaller regional and local banks, and then "strategically" closing them (to thin out the regional access) as they work through their "business model" of consolidation. TD Bank is the master at destroying the local/regional banking industry. They may be just a cog in the bigger wheel (a handful of big box store banks) and making it easier to roll out the eventual CBDC, but they are certainly doing "their part".

As are the Neocons who we shamefully included in our coalition until Trump purged them. How many of us defended Bush's Iraq War crime at the time? How many of us lapped up the lies justifying the wholesale slaughter of fellow humans because "our guy" said it was the right thing to do? How many of us reflexively supported it because the Dems opposed it? I'm ashamed to admit I did. I'm also embarrassed to admit the Dems were exactly right at the time and we ignored them. We blew it.

Thank God for Donald Trump calling these people who worship death out, and expelling them. War mongers, abortion lovers, child mutilators, they are all part of a human sacrifice ritual to the evil one. There is no other explanation. At least they are all on the same side now and the boundary is clear.

Yes and to think I campaigned so hard for Bush, I even named my son after his middle name as 9-11 scared him out a month early (at home)...His name is Walker Lee! I was even invited to Bush's Inauguration in which I attended! I 1000% backed the Iraq war stating the talking heads rhetoric that we had to change their children and their never ending mantra from birth of AMERICA MUST DIE by going in there and "helping them"....The constant barrage of Sadam Hussein, we were terrified with! It was such garbage and hindsight is 20/20....

The stones were eventually turned and we now know the truth and we must do our due diligence going forward and thank God for C&C to make this doable!

Karen, you are right.

The disturbing thing all along is that Americans were okay all along with 'their alleged central government' going around the world blowing up countries and murdering. It used to be that the commonplace one heard from one's parents was 'mind your own business' and 'tend to your own garden'. Somewhere to changed to 'mind everyone's business but your own' and 'be a world citizen world improver'.

The United States has gotten to be The Menace of the World ... and I hope it begins to stop after tomorrow. If it doesn't then we are in for a lot of serious pain.

Absolutely, I’m not sure of the exact verse but God uses evil to do good.

Expand full comment

Joseph’s story: In Genesis 45:4-8, Joseph reveals to his brothers that their evil intent to sell him into slavery was actually part of God’s plan to save them from famine. Joseph’s brothers meant to do evil, but God used it for good.

The story of Judah and Tamar: In Genesis 38, Judah’s actions were initially motivated by evil intentions, but God ultimately used them to bring about the birth of Perez, a descendant of Judah who played a crucial role in the lineage of Jesus Christ (Matthew 1:3).

Acts 2:23: The apostle Peter quotes Psalm 16:8-11, stating that God’s plan involved the crucifixion of Jesus, which was carried out by wicked men (Acts 2:23). This event was a turning point in human history, and God used it to bring salvation to humanity.

The Bible also emphasizes that God is not the author of evil (James 1:13) and that His ways are just and perfect (Deuteronomy 32:4). However, it acknowledges that God can use even the darkest of human actions to achieve His ultimate purposes.

It’s essential to note that this concept does not justify or excuse evil actions, but rather highlights God’s sovereignty and ability to work even through imperfect and fallen human beings to bring about His good and perfect will.

Dave, do you remember the Kissinger "five point plan" of making five regional trading/economic/management zones as a precursor to linking them all together in what one would consider a version of the "new world order"? I recall reading about it the late 80's. When the EU came about, my first thought was this is a test run to see if they can pull off region #1 of western and central Europe. NAFTA seems to be an attempt to do another region of Canada, US and Mexico. Fortunately, Pres. Trump seems to have squashed that one.

And this would also help Europe to grow up--without our soldiers and bases, those nations would have to look after themselves.

One of the best ways to support the military is to refuse to participate in any of their wars, all started under false pretext, every since Vietnam (except maybe arguably Grenada). The second way to support the military is MAGA (Make America Godly Again) by driving transgender, DEI, queer agenda and weapons testing on Americans and the rest of the world ... out of the entire DoD. The third way to support the military is to get rid of the CIA. And then there remains the problem of the bloated defrauding MIC.

Fortunately, leading up to the Iraq war, I had been listening to a non-commercial radio station in New York, and they had on the former UN chief weapons inspector Scott, Ritter, who said that they were absolutely no WMDs in Iraq. They destroyed him afterwards. You could see a disgusting video of then senator Biden speaking so patronizingly to this man who served the country and was telling the truth. He is not a perfect person, as he at some point had a consensual relationship with a young woman who he claims he thought to be 18, even though she was 16. I’m quite sure they set him up for this. I am not condoning his behavior. But there is probably not a better expert on Russian history, military intelligence, and sophisticated knowledge of weaponry Scott Ritter. He is a huge peace advocate, and is constantly sounding the alarm, about how close we are to nuclear war.

You nailed it! Go back to any decade and look. The US military (the DoD and the NeoCons) could do no wrong. Wars were "patriotic"! The last time anybody protested was the anti-draft movement of college age kids during the Vietnam War.

Back during the "Operation Desert Storm", I was attending a conservative PCA church and there was not one critical thought from the pulpit or the congregation about the USG's invasion and war against a country on the other side of the planet we had no business being involved in. Only a "prayerful" attitude of support for the Gov't's actions against a "bad" country. I knew then it was all BS and refused to support such an outlook. We have much to repent for.

Expand full comment

In my later teens and into my twenties, I was ripe cannon fodder for the plucking. However, I pulled the circuit breaker. I did research and decided that Vietnam was an MIC con job. I got myself into the car and drove myself down to the draft board and I filed for CO status (Conscientious Objector). This was the first big eye opening event into what an utter fraud government is, and also ... the reason why limited government to essential functions is the only way to keep mischief on a leash. Most astonishingly at the time, my father never said a word about my doing this. I do know that a lot of WWII vets were sick of war. After four years, they had had a belly full. A lot of WWII vets were also angry that they got sucked into the Reserve after WWII (for the money) and then came along the government which told the Reservists that they had to go and fight in another war in Korea. I know one of my father's best friend was mightily vocal about this. All the Korean War accomplished was creating yet another economic competitor to the United States.

(edit: fortunately my dad was well off enough not to get sucked into things by monetary 'inducements'. Things like the Reserves and endless wars. I am so glad to have had a very smart dad!)

Oh yes! We have to save the world from Communism! And now look at us? DEI Maoist Communist to the gills. What can I say? Empire of Lies?

I naively believed at the time that we could go in there and establish modern democratic institutions in the Middle East, just like we did in Germany and Japan after WWII. Took me some time to realize that this wasn't possible in a region with their particular culture, religion and traditions. I have no interest or use for Islam and the associated culture and politics that flow from it, and I only want it in our country in very limited numbers, but it's not our business to try to modify it by force. That's up to the Muslims.

Bush was attacked so viciously and irrationally by the left (and some elements of the right) that I felt like I had to be on his side. But the fkers on left were right, although not entirely for the right reasons. Remember all the paranoia about how Bush and his followers were going to establish a Christian theocracy? You see that reflected today in the hysteria about Project 2025.

Expand full comment

I remember!!

Regarding the Middle East, the hypocrisy started showing when we were trying to take down Syrian Assad, calling him all the same names as we did Saddam, creating scenarios of hysterical "he is gassing his own people", etc. At the height of all this constant news surrounding him, I happened to meet a very educated young Christian man at my church, visiting his American uncle. My husband and I asked him about these horrors we were hearing daily on the news about Assad. He said that he was surprised because Syrians really respected him, he wasn't bad, and he was especially respectful to the Christians. Assad belongs to a more secular denomination of Islam.

So, here is a secular ruler in the Middle East, something we claim to want, yet we were trying to depose him (for nefarious self interests). 🙄

THEN came the horrors of ISIS and their holocaust of Christians. Not a peep from us about it. What happened to 'never again'? They took town after town, beheading and killing as they went. I was in utter disbelief. This was a reason to get involved, but we didn't want to help Assad.

As much as Trump likes to take credit, Russia is really the one who started the battle to defeat them. We came after, and perhaps finished the job.

Paul speaking of the last days in 2 Timothy 3:

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, **disobedient to parents**, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!"

Sound familiar? What always struck me about this passage was in this list of awful behaviors Paul (inspired by the Holy Spirit) includes, "disobedient to parents". What, like they won't clean their rooms or something? It seemed strangely out of place.

But that's not it at all. It's defiance and rebellion against the family order that God put in place and blessed. It's the foundation of God's plan for our lives. That's why it's being attacked so vociferously by these agents of the devil.

It would have been especially shocking to his original audience given that Greek/Roman culture expected the Man to be the Supreme Ruler over his household, and his wife and children were essentially his property.
