BLM’s Defund Police Movement Cause of Massive Increase in Black Americans Murdered

/in , , , , , , , , /by

More of the horrible work of “Black Lives Matter.” And yes, their antipathy and terrible irony is lost on the savage left.

It was never about “black lives”, it was always about destroying America.

Massive increase in Black Americans murdered was result of defund police movement: experts

Black Americans were disproportionately affected by the skyrocketing murders of 2020

By Emma Colton | Fox News April 19, 2022:

Project 21 co-chair Horace Cooper and former Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek join ‘Fox News @ Night’ to discuss the rise in violent crime across the U.S.

Support of Black Lives Matter and calls to defund the police reverberated across America in 2020 following the death of George Floyd, igniting social justice protests and riots at a time when the coronavirus and lockdowns upended society in unprecedented ways. What was left in 2020’s wake was a massive increase in the number of murders, dealing a disproportionate blow to Black Americans.

“Certainly, the protests and riots mid-2020 after the death of George Floyd followed a pattern of spiking violence that we’ve seen following past viral police incidents, such as the deaths of Michael Brown and Freddie Gray. This pattern has been termed the ‘Ferguson Effect’: police pull back while violent crime spikes precipitously,” Hannah Meyers, director of the policing and public safety initiative at the Manhattan Institute, told Fox News Digital.

Murders across the board spiked by nearly 30% in 2020 compared to the year prior, according to FBI data, marking the largest single-year increase in killings since the agency began tracking the crimes. Among Black Americans, the number of deaths spiked by more than 32% compared to 2019.

FBI DATA SHOWS LARGE INCREASE IN MURDERS IN 2020 NATIONWIDE

In 2019, at least 7,484 Black Americans were murdered. That number shot up to at least 9,941 murders in 2020, meaning there was an increase of 2,457 Black Americans murdered over the previous year.

The number of Black murders was also far higher than White murders in 2020. The FBI data shows there 7,043 White people murdered that year, meaning 2,898 more Black people were killed compared to Whites.

Between 2010 and 2019, there was an average of 5,954 White murders, which is roughly 16% lower than the 10-year average of Black murders. During that same time period, an average of 6,927 Black Americans were murdered each year, meaning Black murders shot up by 43% in 2020 compared to the previous 10-year average.

There was a roughly 21% increase in White murders in 2020 compared to 2019.

The figures are more staggering considering White Americans make up 76% of the population compared to Black Americans representing only 13%, according to Census data.

Murders in the 2010s first broke the 7,000 murder benchmark in 2015 after the high-profile deaths of Freddie Gray that same year and Michael Brown in 2014, jumping by nearly a thousand in one year. Brown was fatally shot by a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer and Gray died after he sustained injuries in the back of a Baltimore police van. Their deaths sparked protests and riots similar to the ones following Floyd’s death.

Prior to Brown’s death, Black murders had fallen the previous four years.

Fox News Digital reviewed murder data from 2014 and 2015 and found a spike of 15% in year over year data. At least 7,000 Black Americans were killed each year thereafter without ever exceeding the 8,000 mark……

Biden to Revoke ‘Conscience’ Rule for Health Workers!

/in , , , , , , , , /by

“Many people are not living their dreams because they are living their fears.” – Les Brown

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” – Theodore Roosevelt

One of the many great things done by President Trump was putting in place a conscience rule whereby Health Care workers could refuse to perform certain medical procedures or work if it conflicted with their sincerely held religious or moral beliefs.

The bill was never actually put in place as democrats and leftists in dozens of blue states and other liberal advocacy groups tied it up from 2019 onwards in Federal Courts.

Had it been implemented as planned, it would have allowed any and all health workers to legally refuse to provide services like abortions, contraception, gender affirming care, or any other procedure they objected to on religious and/or moral grounds.

The Democrats, as they get closer to losing power, and understanding that as many red states are introducing legislation to reduce or eradicate abortions and transgender care, they are telling this illegal regime occupying the White House to ensure that the Trump conscience bill never becomes law.

After all, these lefties love abortions! Especially those up to birth!! Destroying lives for political gain is their game. Just suck those babies out!! Murder them and call it a “woman’s choice” while refusing certain Americans the choice of if to take the poison – whoops – I mean China Virus Shot!

The plans to permanently remove Trumps conscious clause is underway at the Office of Management and Budget. Weird place to me to do this but what ever works I guess for these tyrants.

Progressive advocates see the removal of the clause as a major step in dismantling the Trump administration’s policy on reproductive rights, something every libtard in the nation hated. After all, they know better so don’t argue! If you do they will call you names covering everything they think will harm you, like racist, homophobe, anti LGBTQUI etc. What was that old expression? Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me! We need to go back to that and stop fearing everything the left throws at us.

Planned Parenthood, one of the most reprehensible and disgusting companies out there that deal in blood, murder and mayhem, are delirious that the Biden Administration may get this done! Certainly no wailing and gnashing of teeth there!! Especially as they keep sucking up tax payers money!!

Jacqueline Ayers, the senior vice president of policy, organizing and campaigns for Planned Parenthood stated joyously “as state politicians continue to strip people of their sexual and reproductive rights and freedoms, it’s imperative that the Biden-Harris administration revoke this discriminatory policy and help ensure people can access the healthcare and information they need when they need it.” Healthcare? Since when did callous pre thought out murder of a living human being become healthcare? Just asking…..

Originally U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer, a Hussein Ovomit – I mean Obama appointed federal judge with a very leftist past and career, was the Judge who initially killed the Trump conscious clause. He got his law degree at Harvard… a liberal bastion of lefties, commies and America haters. He and his wife are both very progressive and woke Jews. Enough said and his bias is obvious.

We will continue seeing this administration under Dumbo in Chief, attacking and destroying as fast as they can, Trumps legacy and finest work.

I call it treason.

Ilhan Omar Blasted for Anti-Christian Bigotry Over Video Comment

/in , , , , , /by

Noted antisemite and sharia-supporter Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) incurred a flood of social media condemnation — and rightfully so — over the weekend for her remarks about a video of passengers singing Christian music on a plane.

In the now-viral video, captioned “Worshipping Jesus 30,000 feet in the air,” passengers are seen singing a popular Christian worship song inside an airliner. The clip was originally posted by Jack Jensz Jr., founder of Kingdom Realm Ministries, who has been assisting Ukrainian refugees in Europe along with his congregation.

The Muslim congresswoman retweeted the clip, adding, “I think my family and I should have a prayer session next time I am on a plane. How do you think it will end?”

“I think you should shut up and stop being a bigot,” responded conservative author Kurt Schlichter.

“Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN attacks a group of Christian volunteers on an @easyJet flight in Europe delivering aid to Ukraine, because they’re singing,” wrote activist and businessman Avi Kaner.

“Why does this person who lives free and liberated because of the compassion of our country not appreciate that we’re a Judeo-Christian society uniquely founded to protect those of all faiths?” wrote talk radio host Joe “Pags” Pagliarulo.

“Why does she constantly denigrate the place that offered her so much?” he asked. “Praying for her.”

“I spent decades flying in the Middle East. We weren’t even allowed to bring Bibles into the countries or worship. This sort of impromptu singing would turn into arrests and imprisonment,” wrote former congressional Republican candidate and Air Force pilot Buzz Patterson. “I’ll celebrate our freedoms here. You do you.”

“I doubt that people would care one bit. It’s the slitting of throats with box cutters and flying jetliners into buildings that we have an issue with. Next question,” wrote conservative commentator Todd Starnes.

“Stop with the Christianphobia, Congresswoman,” wrote conservative author and YouTube personality Mark Dice.

“If someone yelled Allahu Akbar I’d freak out, YOU’d freak out and ANY Muslim would freak out given the fact we still have many radical Islamists in our religion (Hizbollah, ISIS, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas etc) all would love to hijack a plane for another 9/11 who we kidding..,” wrote former Miss Iraq Sarah Idan.

Omar Emphasizes That America Is a Racist Nation

On May 3, 2021, Omar told MSNBC host Joy Reid that she and her fellow black Democrats were becoming exhausted by people who refused to concede that America was a racist nation. “I think there is a lot of emotional exhaustion that many of us who are black lawmakers and black people in public service are experiencing,” said Omar. “Because every single day you know that there are ways to transform the justice system, the policing system, and you have to have conversation[s] with people who want to turn a blind eye to the injustices that exist within our systems, who continue to insist that this country is not a country that is racist, that our systems don’t have racism embedded in them.”

Shanghai’s Orwellian Nightmare is a Reminder of the Inhumanity of Absolutist Approaches to Disease Control

/in , , , , , , , /by

Residents screaming from windows? Children taken from parents? What is going on?

According to official reports, over 25 million Shanghai residents were placed under strict lockdown from March 27, due to rising cases of the Omicron variant of Covid-19. And when they say “lockdown,” they don’t just mean, “essential travel only.” They mean, do not leave your apartment even to purchase food. Shanghai residents must wait inside their apartments for food supplies to be delivered to them. According to a BBC report, Shanghai authorities have admitted that there have been problems with the food supply chain, corroborating complaints of food shortages made by residents.

The city has set up testing sites to implement mandatory mass testing, shuttling off Covid-positive residents to hospitals and makeshift quarantine facilities. Loudspeakers blare out, “Get tested now.” Isolating at home is not an option.

One particularly disturbing aspect of the Shanghai lockdown is the separation of parents from children who test positive and are sent off to quarantine facilities. It must be pretty heart-wrenching to see one’s child carted away to a quarantine facility, completely deprived of the support of family and loved ones.

One of the scenes that seems to encapsulate the hopeless plight of Shanghai residents, trapped in their apartments by their own government, is the sound of residents screaming in protest from their windows. This scene was captured on social media, and picked up by many mainstream media, such as The Guardian, as well:

Shanghai authorities announced on Monday, April 11, that they would implement a “limited easing” of restrictions. But this comes two full weeks into one of the strictest and most far-reaching lockdowns since the pandemic began. Who knows how many people will by now have been deprived of access to essential medical services, or have gone hungry due to broken supply chains, or have been sunk in depression due to prolonged isolation from friends and loved ones?

Most of the world has by now come to accept that we must live with Covid-19 for the foreseeable future, and that all hopes of a “zero Covid” future were a naïve pipe-dream that will never come to pass. Yet China seems to cling to the fantasy of a zero-Covid world, refusing to accept that such a fantasy has lost every shred of credibility in this endemic phase of the virus.

The severe two-week lockdown in Shanghai has not been successful at containing the virus. Even if it were successful, this success would not be sustainable, since you cannot just keep locking down a large population every time a highly transmissible virus pops its head above the parapet.

To indulge a fantasy privately is one thing; to allow public officials to inflict that fantasy, come hell or high water, on a population of 25 million citizens is quite another.

But as we survey Shanghai from Western nations that have, at least for a while, recovered most of the liberties we were stripped of in the name of public health, we cannot afford to be complacent. For the Orwellian nightmare that we see unfolding before our eyes in Shanghai is just the logical consequence of the very same sort of Covid containment absolutism that ruled the roost across much of the West during a large part of the pandemic.

And this cruel, inhumane, and absolutist approach to disease control, though it has been significantly tempered in most Western nations in the latter months of the pandemic, has only been explicitly disavowed by a fraction of Western governments. So the new public health absolutism unleashed in 2020 has certainly not been laid to rest in the West.

Furthermore, the notion of a WHO-led pandemic “treaty,” now being publicly mooted by the WHO, raises the spectre of an even more tightly coordinated international pandemic response, in a world in which many political and scientific elites, with a limited appreciation for the principles of liberal constitutionalism and individualised medicine, have yet to publicly distance themselves in a principled way from the recklessness and inhumanity of lockdowns and medical coercion.

The Covid containment absolutist fancies himself as a humanitarian, who just wants to save lives, but in reality, embraces a bizarrely selective form of humanitarianism, fixing his attention almost exclusively on lives endangered by Covid infections. Indeed, he is so single-mindedly preoccupied with reducing infections that virtually every other dimension of public health and societal well-being seems to disappear from view.

The Covid containment absolutist is like a grand Chess Master, who has crafted a Master Plan for his army of chess pieces to faithfully follow. If a chess piece protests or resists, it must be put back in its place. At least, in theory.

The trouble is, human beings are much more than chess pieces. They are living, breathing persons with hopes, fears, desires, aspirations, loves, and aversions. They are equipped by nature to be masters of their own destinies, not just pawns on a chessboard.

To shove people around, ship them off to quarantine camps, mandate them to test repeatedly even when they are in perfect health, punish them for not vaccinating, order them to stay at home, confine them within a two-kilometre radius of their homes, or restrict the number of visitors they may receive in the privacy of their own home, is essentially to treat them as cattle, or as pawns on a chessboard, not as autonomous individuals with valid life plans and choices of their own.

To treat people as mere disease vectors, or utility functions in a Covid Containment Plan, is to trample on their dignity and to make their liberties contingent on the questionable musings of an “expert class,” a class that has, for the most part, exhibited a blinkered and impoverished social imagination, and proved itself hopelessly inept at managing a complex public health problem. The disproportionate faith this expert class has placed in containment measures like universal masking, vaccine passports, and lockdowns, has proved delusional.

Shanghai may appear to us now as a distant Orwellian nightmare. But in reality, it is just a slightly accentuated version of the Orwellian nightmare Western governments needlessly inflicted on their own citizens in 2020 and 2021, in the face of a virus that poses no serious threat to young and healthy people and has an estimated Infection Fatality Rate in the range of 0.2-0.3%.

Shanghai’s current lockdown shares with its Western counterparts an inhumane and reckless approach to disease control characterised by dehumanising attitudes toward citizens, a mono-dimensional vision of public health and well-being, and a manifest contempt for human rights. Sadly, this infelicitous approach took root among many leaders of the international public health establishment soon after it was first put on display in Wuhan back in January 2020.

If we are shocked by the way Chinese authorities imprison their citizens in their homes and ship infected citizens off to makeshift isolation camps, then we should probably take a long, hard look in the mirror.

Why do so many ‘experts’ screw things up so often?

/in , , , , , /by

Only seven percent of journalists in the United States’ national media scene identify as conservatives or libertarians.

Why do so many experts seem to be so very wrong, so often? This is the curious question recently posed by a contrarian American political scientist at Kentucky State University, Wilfred Reilly. His catalogue of things the experts got wrong, featured in a recent article in the online magazine Spiked, is an impressive one.

On just the narrow topic of hate crime hoaxes, Reilly’s list includes Jussie Smollett, the Covington Catholic boys, Kyle Rittenhouse, Erica Thomas, Michael Brown, and Jacob Blake.

In each of these instances, the chattering class — whether in media, politics or academia — had us believing the precise opposite of what turned out to be true.

Another list provided by Reilly concerned longer term, larger scale calamities that failed to materialise: “global cooling, Y2K, peak oil, prevalent acid rain, the predictions and tables in The Population Bomb and An Inconvenient Truth, and so on.”

Reilly observes that this phenomenon is not new — that thinkers as far back as Socrates saw that “set-in-their-ways ideological monocultures are more likely than other groups of smart people to be grievously wrong.”

Warns Reilly, “such monocultures exist to a truly remarkable extent across mass media and academia in the contemporary US.” The statistics couldn’t be clearer on this.

Only seven percent of journalists in the United States’ national media scene identify as conservatives or libertarians, according to a major 2004 poll from Pew cited by Reilly. Only but the most ideologically entrenched would deny that American newsrooms are now crowded with liberal coastal elites who live in a different world from most of their readers.

Moreover, a study conducted a year later found that among academic sociologists, 59 per cent are loyal Democrats, 41 percent are independents or support a minor party, and zero per cent are Republicans. If this was true in the 2000s, one can only imagine what wokeness has done to academic fields like sociology.

Reilly laments that “one of the most intimidating things about being a ‘heterodox’ thinker is having to constantly say that ‘the experts’ are wrong”. While often appearing as just another form of hubris to outside observers, heterodoxy creates its own cascade of introspective doubts: “How can all of these very intelligent people be wrong? Surely it must be me who is wrong instead?”

And yet wrong “the experts” so often are — and at what seems to be an accelerating pace.

Consider gender ideology. Even if we grant the rather contested notion that a person’s biological sex can be wholly separate from their gender identity — what Reilly describes as “how masculine or feminine you feel in the context of current social norms” — the groupthink of the expert class still makes little sense.

“Road races are run not by people’s souls but by their bodies,” writes Reilly, “and there seems to be no logical reason for adult male-bodied people to ever compete in the women’s division.”

Indeed, if gender identity and biological sex form some kind of hardware-software relationship — if a person can truly be “trapped in the wrong body” — would it not make more sense to edit the “software”, rather than update the “hardware” through very costly, sometimes gory, and always irreversible procedures? And once those procedures are complete, what of every chromosome in every cell in that body that still testifies to the truth? Must they be censored, too?

Or take systemic racism. Among its central claims are that America and other Western societies are defined by white privilege, maintained by an apparatus of white supremacy, and protected for the sake of white fragility. And yet as Reilly – who is black — observes, “six or seven of the 10 most financially successful ethnic groups in present-day America are not white”. Talk about inconvenient truths.

The dogma that any gap in performance between racial groups must be due to racism is easy enough to grasp. But it is also a naked logical fallacy, known as “begging the question” — a circular argument in which the conclusion is included in the premise.

Similar to someone adamantly claiming that their watermelon was blue on the inside until the skin was pierced and the flesh turned red, no proof could ever be mustered to convince systemic racism enthusiasts that they have it wrong.

In fact, the watermelon illustration fits neatly with Wilfred Reilly’s diagnosis of the problem we face. How can so many experts can be wrong and not see it? Why are so few willing to testify that the emperor has no clothes? Reilly explains:

“My thesis: most truly bizarre theories arise when smart people adopt a premise that sounds plausible, even if it is factually incorrect, due to factors like peer-group pressure, and then reason forward correctly from that premise.”

Give me a dozen explanations for how piercing the skin of a watermelon could change the colour of the flesh inside, and you might gain an intellectual following. Convince me that my own vision or faulty perception is to blame for the watermelon changing colour, and I may even be convinced.

But that doesn’t mean your watermelon actually turned from blue to pink — and it certainly doesn’t mean the masses should be demonised for questioning the idea that watermelons change colour. “Premises, like facts and like ‘lives’ of various kinds, matter,” Reilly declares. And his solution:

“If an apparently intelligent person says something to you that seems basically insane, ask them how they got there and what their underlying worldview is. Listen well and sincerely to their response. But remember – if you reject their starting premise for logical reasons, it really doesn’t matter how many credentialed people parrot the conclusions that follow from it: they are still wrong.”

Abortion: The Perfect Cover-Up for Rape

/in , , , , , , /by

The sickening revelations from the Rochdale sex abuse scandal are a reminder that abortion and abuse go hand in hand.

In the UK, Police have issued an apology and paid substantial damages to three women now in their 30s, who as children were repeatedly sexually abused and raped by organised gangs.

Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Stephen Watson apologised the failings of the police under his predecessors. They had “failed to protect them or investigate their abusers”. Mr Watson told the three victims, referred to as Amber, Daisy and BXW: “GMP could and should have done much more to protect you and we let you down.”

This lawsuit will set a precedent for dozens of other survivors whose lives were ruined by the Rochdale child sex abuse scandal, say campaigners. The revelations of the scale of the abuse in Rochdale and Rotherham was front-page news in the British media for months. The grooming gangs targeted young girls who were in government care because of behavioural problems or dysfunctional home situations.

The stories related by the three women are sickening.

Legal documents show that Amber was 14 years old when the abuse started. According to the Daily Express: “She was first raped while intoxicated and thereafter raped and sexually assaulted by numerous men. She was threatened with a gun and a knife on separate occasions when she refused to comply.” Daisy was only 12 when the abuse began and it continued for another five years.

BXW said she was happy that the police had acknowledged their responsibility for their ordeal. In her case, she said that the abuse began when she was 12 and continued for four years, during which “she was passed ‘like a ball’ between ‘thousands’ of men for rape and sexual abuse. She was impregnated by one man, Adil Khan, when she was 13 and had an abortion”.

The Manchester Police did worse than nothing about this terrible situation. Subsequent investigations showed that they dismissed complaints from the victims and ignored warnings about the abuse.

A police operation to tackle the gangs stopped in 2004 — and just eight years later, nine men ended up being convicted for sexually abusing children in Rochdale.

The Police apology is the result of a legal challenge launched by the three women assisted by lawyers from the Centre for Women’s Justice charity. They contended that “from the early 2000s there was growing evidence that gangs of men were grooming, trafficking and sexually abusing girls” in Rochdale, Lancashire. The case was clear and the Police settled out of court.

Much of the controversy which surrounds the Rochdale grooming gang and the even bigger Rotherham grooming gang is related to the racial background of the offenders. Most were British Pakistanis and there were strident allegations of racism.

But this overlooks a central feature of these crimes – abortion. This appalling story shows once again how abortion for under-age girls has facilitated vicious and organised sexual abuse of minors, not just in Rochdale but all over the country, many of them supposedly in state care.

As Sara Rowbotham, a health worker and local politician who blew the whistle on the abuse, commented to the Daily Express: “This is good news for the three girls involved, but what about all the others? There are at least 180 other survivors of the Rochdale grooming gangs. They should also be apologised to and compensated.”

The government itself has been found guilty — sadly, only in the court of public opinion — for breaking its own law. Children cannot legally consent to sexual relations – but they can get abortions.

No wonder, seeing so little respect for the law from those at the top, the very dregs of society, in the shape of those opportunistic paedophiles, exploited it.

As Canadian journalist Jonathon van Maren observed: “The evidence of these crimes just happens to be babies. So often one repulsive crime is entwined with another, and robbing one of innocence so often means snuffing out another innocent just a little further down the road. Evil men use violence against pre-born children to cover up their violence against girls.”

The men responsible for these crimes have demonstrated by their own vile conduct — treating children as worthless playthings — that they themselves are worth very little. Some have been jailed. But this kind of abuse will not end until the governing elites stop ignoring that the state uses abortion, the so-called “right to choose”, as the perfect cover-up for rape and even for organised crime.

Border Patrol Stopped 23 People on Terrorist List at Southern Border in 2021 — How Many Got Through?

/in , , , , , /by

Biden’s handlers are recklessly endangering the American people in pursuit of a reliable voting bloc.

Border Patrol stopped 23 people on terrorist database at southern border in 2021: CBP data

by Bill Melugin and Adam Shaw, Fox News, April 18, 2022 (thanks to the Geller Report):

EXCLUSIVE: Border Patrol apprehended at least 23 people coming across the southern border whose names are on the terror watchlist in 2021, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data obtained by Fox News.

Between Jan. 20 and Dec. 27, 2021, there were 23 encounters with individuals whose names matched on the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB)….

The Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) contains information about the identities of those who are known or “reasonably suspected” of being involved in terrorist activities. Republicans lawmakers have repeatedly called for the number of those encountered at the border to be made public by the administration….

Former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott has repeatedly sounded the alarm over the number of TSDBs coming across the border, telling fellow agents last year that it was “at a level we have never seen before.”…

Fox News reported earlier this month that over 62,000 illegal immigrants evaded Border Patrol agents in March, averaging about 2,000 a day….

FRANCE: Direct democracy, true populism, imitation nationalism

/in , , , , /by

“Block the far right”. The slogan, a little wobbly, remains etched in people’s minds while Marine pushes more and more to the left, like a vacuum cleaner picking up crumbs from rebellious French people and everything that remains to be taken, even the dust of Lutte Ouvrière. She is on the left, Marine, Little Red Riding Hood bringing a basket of food to the retired grandmother at 60, to the single mother, to the smicard who cannot fill up, to the small trader whose margins are shrinking, to the exasperated suburban and rural.

Journalists, for the sake of impartiality, ask the various commentators to quote at least one measure from Marine Le Pen’s program which is on the far right. The answer is rarely satisfactory. It would be better to ask how its ideology is populist and what exactly is populism.

Communism has never succeeded in pooling the means of production to obtain a fair share of the wealth created. Wherever it is imposed, communism gives the same result: misery for the people, wealth for the nomenklatura, scorned freedoms. The dictatorship of the proletariat? It is the dictator who arrogates to himself the powers promised to the little people who had put him in place. As a result of all this, the left in our democracies is reduced to a trickle.

Populism is taking over. And it works ! A dozen candidates in the first round? Nothing appetizing for populist popular people. This democracy of elections, governments, laws and management is rotten. We want direct democracy.

Yes, for example, the occupation of the Sorbonne. Graffiti and filth. Well, here we are faced with extreme populism. In the case of Marine, it’s policed. But no less dangerous. The people of the populist government will not be better off than the proletariat of the communist regime. Because the people are not what we would have you believe. It is not a collective and direct democracy is the tyranny of special interests.

Precisely, the Yellow Vests. Leaving aside the disparate demands that have attracted almost generalized sympathy, we will discover the mechanisms of populism at work: the impossibility of concerting and developing common projects, endless and increasingly violent internal conflicts , anarchy, vulnerability to opportunistic actions such as Black blocks, antifa, scum. It’s a miserable every man for himself. The forces released are destructive. Who takes the bet? The strong man. Inflated with the mismanaged energies of the people, he seizes power and exercises it tyrannically.

Marine president, the people will decide by referendum to stop the immigration which has tormented them for decades without any elected government being able to control it. Why entrust “direct democracy” with the task of settling an essential question? Why not act through democratically elected institutions? Because “direct democracy” is not democratic, just as populism is not the government of the people. By dealing with the question of immigration democratically, we allow all streams of society to express themselves, to defend their interests and, in the end, to accept the decision reached.

The referendum is a simplistic answer to a simplified question. And that’s not all. We also have to wonder why Marine Le Pen is 100% confident that her referendum will produce the answer she wants. It is because it intends to dictate its will to the people without fearing the unforeseen events of freedom. Isn’t that what populist elected officials around the world do?

In fact, the referendum can give everything and its opposite. Didn’t those who tell us that demography is destiny imagine that one day we could impose by referendum the veil prohibited by the previous one? Democracy protects minorities and protects us from minorities. When it doesn’t work (for example, wokism), we need more democracy, not less.

The National Front, which has become Rassemblement National, which has simply become Marine, is not a democratic party. It’s a clan. Transmitted turnkey to Marine, it continues to function as a clan and to defend an undemocratic policy. Despite her incompetence and failures, Marine is the one and only presidential candidate. She decides everything. The others, from lieutenants to infantrymen, follow her orders, defend her against all odds, offer her faces and extras. There is no question of challenging the established line. No currents, no boss battles. Since the defeat of 2017, Marine has surrounded himself with a brigade of young men of roughly the same size, rather handsome and virile, like the “leader”, Jordan Bardella. They look awfully similar. It reminds me, in a radically different style but with a similar uniformity, the vendors at Mariage Frères. It is not insignificant.

Simili-nationalism

In the midst of the war against Ukraine, faced with an incredible shock that is hitting the European people, Marine Le Pen and the other pseudo-nationalists shamelessly gargle about the power of an independent France. Without daring to clearly state the breaks they advocate, they advocate half-cuts in our ties with Europe, NATO and the United States. Like a sweater that you undo by pulling on a thread. They mock our allies, glorify the illusory strength of a single, unrelated French voice and hide the alliances they intend to forge, once France is freed from (democratic) shackles. All this, as Ukraine struggles to survive against Russian brutality.

This aggression would not have taken place if Ukraine had been a member of NATO. But the pseudo-nationalists turn reality upside down and make Ukraine guilty of having provoked the attack by wanting to join NATO. Faux-nationalism does not defend the nation, its territory, its values, its freedom, it hides the nation behind compromises with hostile forces. Putin today. Tomorrow, who knows?

Voting instructions

As a foreigner, I depend more than anyone on the goodwill of French citizens. When Jews are urged to vote Zemmour, I feel targeted, even without the right to vote. When someone would like me to believe that the extreme no longer means anything, that there is no longer or never has been a dividing line, I have to answer. Yes, there is a line and some candidates are placed on the other side, where we should not venture.

According to the polls, 85% of those who voted for Zemmour in the first round will go to Marine Le Pen in the second. It was with them that the Z intended to achieve the union of the rights? With Lepénistes temporarily seduced by the newcomer? They wanted the intellectual, but the small mind will also be appropriate? I was urged as a Jew to vote Zemmour. I was called names if I lacked enthusiasm for the wonder boy . All this to choose Marine?

I will never forget Marine Le Pen at the GGMO, questioned about the possible transfer of the French embassy to Jerusalem in the event of her victory. Behind the holes, no eyes. Nothing. An abyssal void. No neurons to catch the question and send it through some circuit. No Jerusalem circuit, no French embassy route, no Israel box, nothing. She ended up standing, as a good student, on the line of the Quai d’Orsay. Later in this show, she fought tooth and nail for the kosher slaughter ban. Animal welfare lit up a face that had shown no sign of life on the issue of the Jewish state’s capital. Then, turning on her carnivorous smile, she reassured the Jews, correcting Jordan Bardella’s untimely announcement of the double penalty: no kosher slaughter, no import of meat slaughtered in this way. Of course we will not prohibit the import!

I come back, once again, to this primordial question which says a lot about the massive transmission of the Zemmour vote to Marine Le Pen. One cannot condemn Russian aggression against Ukraine by taking up the Putinian narrative that justifies it. And Jews, practicing or not at all, cannot fully enjoy their citizenship in a France where kosher meat is prohibited (and then circumcision?). If the practice affects only a minority, the symbolic is aimed entirely at us.

And yet, the warning of the presidents of the CRIF and the Consistory against the extreme right causes, in certain circles, hysteria. However, if there is an authentic dividing line, if Marine le Pen is not a candidate like any other, this exit from the reserve is justified. Signaling the danger of an undemocratic choice is not the same as expressing a preference.

bird names

It’s true, for a long time we stuck with the label “extreme-right” the mouth of the true speakers on the threat of conquering Islam. But the balance of power has changed. One wastes one’s energy redoing battles already won. It’s true, the extreme right label is still stuck on the Rassemblement National, despite its left-wing economic policy. But ultimately, it’s right-wing leftism. The RN changes its acronym but keeps the core of its links with the historic far right, while integrating an Arab-Russian component, that is to say an update of tyranny.

A revealing pre-debate

I followed on LCI Monday evening the debate, rich in teaching, between Oliver Véran and Jordan Bardella. The acting president of the RN accuses the government minister Macron: You suck, you did nothing. It’s worse than incompetence, you’re in cahoots with the Islamists. We will do everything right away. Then, faced with the difficulties or even the impossibility of imposing a measure, for example, the ban on wearing the veil in public, Bardella lowers his voice: we will do it little by little, we will give people the time to comply. They will, as a good citizen. We will take into account the age and the motivation but we will end up removing it, this veil, banner of the Islamists.

We saw the face of France RN appear. Petty. Without scale, without opening, without horizon. Calculations without dimension, without dynamics. Refusing to recognize the benefits derived from exchanges of all kinds, we close the wallet. Finished ! We don’t give anything anymore. Circuits are clogged. The RN proposes extravagant measures, soaked in gratuitous hostility: a foreigner in a regular situation who works in France and pays his contributions would not be entitled to social benefits. Zero benefits! Bardella holds on to it like a dog to his bone. No compromise, no understanding. It’s like that. The French first. The ban on kosher slaughter is in the same spirit.

Bardella slips away on the question of the war against Ukraine: We condemned the invasion without ambiguity but we did not vote for measures that will hurt the French, our first priority. Pushed to his limits on the good relations with Russia advocated by his candidate after the war, Bardella lost the mask of kindness of the RN cuvée 2022. Twice he summoned Véran to answer the solemn question, posed sotto voce: What do you want? you ? Do you want to go to war with Russia?

That’s it. For almost two months, we have been witnessing the cruel destruction that is falling on Ukraine, and the interim president of the RN accuses our government of waging war on Russia.

In summary, this proto-debate reveals the weakness of a contemptuous approach, knitted with degagist ruminations and undermined by the absence of a sense of reality. Arrogance, in my opinion, is on the side of the RN. And this could cause for Marine Le Pen, Wednesday evening, a crash worse than that of 2017.

Then, once the anti-democratic force has been removed, everything will remain to be done.

Is Biden a Buffoon, Bolshevist or Both?

/in , , , , , , /by

“The Bolsheviks, also known in English as the Bolshevists, were a far-left, revolutionary Marxist faction founded by Vladimir Lenin that split with the Mensheviks from the Marxist Russian Social Democratic Labour Party, a revolutionary socialist political party formed in 1898, at its Second Party Congress in 1903.” – Wikipedia

We have been watching Biden and his administration since his inauguration on January 20th, 2021 and we have to ask:

Is Biden a Buffoon, Bolshevist or Both (B,B, or B)?.

Looking at Biden’s Build Back Better (BBB) Agenda we have concluded that it contains all the essential elements that only a buffoon and Bolshevist would embrace. Therefore we have concluded that Biden and his administration are both buffoons and Bolshevists.

We believe that Biden, his administration and his mentors Barack Hussein and Michelle Obama are Bolshevists.

They have broken away from the party of Thomas Jefferson and turned into the party of a far-left, revolutionary faction that kowtows to radical agendas of select groups at the expense of the health and welfare of the general population.

Biden’s Bolshevists

Since FDR the Democrat Party has gone down the path of big government to solve problems, rather than allow we the people to deal with our problems in an open market and free society. FDR’s New Deal, big government writ large, has morphed into the Green New Deal. Efforts are under way to replace God with government largesse.

Because of FDR’s New Deal, LBJ’s Great Society and now Biden’s Green New Deal we have three classes of citizens: the Bolshevists (political elite), those who work for a living (American patriots) and those who vote for a living (blood sucking automatons).

This new class structure not happenstance, this is by design. 

Here’s our short list of Biden’s and the Democrat Party’s Bolshevists:

  • Labor, teachers and federal employee unions. Bolshevists one and all.
  • Radical Democrat Socialists like Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and like minded individuals.
  • Radical Islamists like Ilan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and André Carson who support organizations that are anti-American, anti-Semitic and anti-Christian.
  • Antifa and its followers who use violence to make their presence known.
  • Black Lives Matter, a black nationalist Bolshevist organization, which is dedicated to racist policies including but not limited to defunding the police and attacking non-minorities and minorities who don’t support their far-left Bolshevist cause.
  • Members of the radical LGBTQIA who want to fundamentally transform gender and sexuality while gaining political power to attack all who oppose them and their far-left agendas. These agendas include destruction of the traditional family, gender and promote pedophilia and pederasty.
  • The legacy media which has failed to tell the truth and therefore has become nothing more than far-left propaganda.
  • Social media which has silenced free speech using the amorphous term of “community standards” as their weapon of choice to pick who they allow to post and who they deplatform, including a sitting President.
  • Administration appointees who by-in-large are carryovers from the Obama administration. This group are far-leftists who fund, support and defend all of the above Bolshevists.
  • And finally, those Bolshevists who voted to put these Bolshevists into positions of public trust.

The Bottom Line

The Democrat Bolshevist Party is now in charge and the people are pissed. Everything is going up: taxes, inflation, gasoline and diesel prices, cost of food, clothing, drugs, medical care, housing, rent, etc. Also going up is the number of Bolshevists in government jobs.

This does not bode well for America as a Constitutional Republic. As the Bolshevists took over Russia and became the Soviet Union, today we are seeing the Democrat Bolshevists taking over our lives, liberties and happiness.

We have labeled those who elected Biden “the depraved electorate.” The depraved are the 87% of Democrats who give Biden and his administration, “positive marks for the job he is doing.” The “depraved electorate” are willfully ignorant of what is really happening around them.

The republic can survive a Biden, who is after all, merely a buffoon.

It is less likely to survive a multitude of buffoons, such as those who made and now defend him as their president!

Time to focus on the depraved Bolshevist electorate who defend, encourage and support Biden, the prince of buffoons.

Will November 2022 will be a reckoning? Will the electorate give us conservative majorities in the House and Senate?

If not gird your loins. Armageddon is coming! It’s us patriots against the Bolshevists and their blood sucking followers.

And remember, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) reporting is voluntary. How many vaccine injuries and death remain unreported by a gravely compromised medical establishment?

CDC Data Shows More Than 1.2 Million Covid Vaccine Injuries

By: Megan Redshaw, The Epoch Times, April 17, 2022 PRINT

VAERS data released Friday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention included a total of 1,226,314 reports of adverse events from all age groups following COVID vaccines, including 26,976 deaths and 219,865 serious injuries between Dec. 14, 2020, and April 8, 2022.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today released new data showing a total of 1,226,314 reports of adverse events following COVID vaccines were submitted between Dec. 14, 2020, and April 8, 2022, to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). VAERS is the primary government-funded system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S.

The data included a total of 26,976 reports of deaths — an increase of 277 over the previous week — and 219,865 serious injuries, including deaths, during the same time period — up 2,564 compared with the previous week.

Excluding “foreign reports” to VAERS, 805,921 adverse events, including 12,471 deaths and 79,811 serious injuries, were reported in the U.S. between Dec. 14, 2020, and April 8, 2022.

Foreign reports are reports foreign subsidiaries send to U.S. vaccine manufacturers. Under U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, if a manufacturer is notified of a foreign case report that describes an event that is both serious and does not appear on the product’s labeling, the manufacturer is required to submit the report to VAERS.

Of the 12,471 U.S. deaths reported as of April 8, 17% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination, 21% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination and 59% occurred in people who experienced an onset of symptoms within 48 hours of being vaccinated…..

WALL STREET ANALYST: COVID VACCINES ‘GREATEST FRAUD IN HISTORY’

A Wall Street executive whose analysis of CDC data shows an alarming rise in deaths among Millennials over the past year amid the COVID vaccine rollout said he’s hoping to start a national conversation that will penetrate an establishment media “blackout” by emboldening people across government and private industry to speak out.

Former portfolio manager for the multinational investment firm BlackRock, Edward Dowd and a Wall Street insurance analyst with whom he has teamed conclude the CDC data show the Millennial generation suffered a “Vietnam War event,” with more than 61,000 excess deaths from March 2021 to February 2022.

There was a particularly significant “spike” in mortality in the fall of 2021, he said, that cannot be explained by the delta variant, opioids, suicides or other causes. He said his partner in the project, who has actuarial training, analyzed the insurance industry on Wall Street for seven years. The insurance expert, Dowd said, currently is presenting the data to a financial group and will eventually reveal his identity.

Dowd also has examined the Pfizer clinical trial data provided by whistleblower Brook Jackson, concluding it, and the fact that Pfizer tried to hide it for 75 years, point to “clinical fraud.”

‘The Dumbest Generation Grows Up’

/in , , , , , /by

An English professor Mark Bauerlein, saw what was happening to young people. In 2008, he wrote the The Dumbest Generation, arguing that millennials would become increasingly ignorant, vain, and immature because of their chronic use of digital technology.

Thanks to the Federalist for bringing this read book to the fore.

The Dumbest Generation Wallows In Mediocrity And Self-Pity.

By: Auguste Meyrat, The Federalist, April 18, 2022:

In Mark Bauerlein’s ‘The Dumbest Generation Grows Up,’ the notable English professor offers a bleak but accurate diagnosis of the millennial generation’s problems.

In the early 2000s, when millennials were coming of age, many people were optimistic about their prospects. They were growing up with the internet, entering a brave new world where everyone was connected, engaged, and more affluent than ever. All this awesomeness was compounded when smartphones came out less than a decade later.

During this wonderful time, few people dared to suggest that all these new high-tech amenities and continual indulgence would spoil millennials. Rather, many people really believed they would be the most successful generation in history.

However, there were a few voices in the wilderness, calling for sanity and a sober analysis of these innovations. One such voice was English professor Mark Bauerlein, who saw what was happening to young people. In 2008, he wrote the The Dumbest Generation, arguing that millennials would become increasingly ignorant, vain, and immature because of their chronic use of digital technology.

Thirteen years later, Bauerlein’s predictions have largely become true. As he explains in The Dumbest Generation Grows Up, a sequel to The Dumbest Generation, many of today’s millennials are not thriving as predicted, but instead are “ending up behind a Starbucks counter or doing contract work, living with their parents or in a house with four friends, nonetheless lonely and mistrustful, with no thoughts of marriage and children, no weekly church attendance or civic memberships, more than half of them convinced that their country is racist and sexist.”

And yes, they are still the dumbest generation, reading less than any previous generation and knowing next to nothing about the world they inhabit.

The Most Illiterate Generation

With an obvious desire to tell the world, “I told you so!” Bauerlein begins his book recalling the false predictions of success for millennials. Even though they had every reason to be concerned about the vast amount of idiotic online content young people were consuming, they preferred to see this as a good thing: “Lighten up, we were told, instead of fearing these kids who were passing them by, said the most progressive admirers of this new generation gap, the elders had a better option: ‘What Old People Can Learn from Millennials.’”

Realists like Bauerlein were berated as spiteful curmudgeons who failed to appreciate the many virtues of the internet. Curiously, it wasn’t the software engineers and programmers making this argument (many of them limit their children’s exposure to screens), but the humanities instructors who saw the new technology as a shortcut to developing critical thinking skills and being knowledgable.

Besides struggling with the basics of adulthood, Bauerlein also argues millennials are dangerous to civilized society. They are entranced with the idealized utopias and “can’t understand why that blessed condition shouldn’t materialize here and now.” This has resulted in a noticeable radicalization among young people, who violently protest any views that differ from their own. Although most of these self-styled social justice warriors justify their actions as a noble resistance to true evil, so much of it amounts to collective temper tantrums.

Baffled by these outbursts from otherwise privileged young adults, Bauerlein seeks to understand the underlying motive—assuming there is one. After making a few inquires and observing millennials in their natural habitat, Bauerlein settles on two vapid but nonetheless serious mantras: “Everyone deserves to be happy,” and “It doesn’t matter who you love.”

Even a cursory knowledge of literature would dispel these notions. As though happiness were something you could complain into existence. As though all forms of love always work out for everyone involved.

Starting the Brainwashing Early: New game Called ‘Playing with Pronouns’ is Pitched to Kids Ages 4-9

/in , , , , , , /by

2+2=5, Winston. If you refuse to accept that, you are an enemy of the state.

EDITORS NOTE: Here’s the promotional video for Playing with Pronouns:

Ready, Set, GROOM! Teachers are Recruiting Our Kids Into the Transgender Life with Books and Games

by Kevin Downey Jr., PJ Media, April 15, 2022:

For a group who “isn’t grooming kids,” the left is grooming lots of kids.

Before we get started, I just want to remind you that a transgender boy in a skirt anally raped a girl in a school’s ladies’ restroom, and his school district tried to cover it up. No one was sent to jail. The rapist was transferred to another school, where he sexually assaulted another girl.

Even though we have been assured that there is no grooming going on in schools, the video below shows a lot of attention-starved, science-denying leftists brainwashing kids in schools….

There’s a new game for kids age 4-9 called “Playing with Pronouns.” From the seller’s  website:

Read more about our Playing with Pronouns Card Deck. Simple card games to breakdown stereotypes, practice inclusive pronouns & expand everyday understanding beyond the binary for ages 4-9.

Playing with Pronouns is an educational card deck for young children designed to expand gender while learning and playing games. It rose directly from our experience as parents. We needed ways to foster inclusion and respect that were fun and could easily expand into our everyday life.

What is this game based on?

Based on our children’s books, They She He Me: Free to Be, and They, She, He easy as ABC  this revolutionary card deck uses PLAY and PRONOUNS as a familiar way to address gender with young kids.

But I thought the left wasn’t grooming kids? Games and books dedicated to normalizing a mental illness sure seem like grooming to me.

Faith – Why Is It Important?

/in , , , , /by

Introduction

There is a battle constantly raging in the mental realm, a battle that if lost, can claim the soul of the combatant.  The battle is between Good (God/faith) and evil (Satan/fear).  Just as God and Satan are diametrically opposing forces, so faith and fear have never been able to exist together without a fight breaking out.  They are both spiritual forces and the fight is in the spiritual realm where both faith and fear operate, and in the mental realm where Satan attacks.

There are several main differences between faith and fear.  First, from the human perspective, fear is both a ‘passive’ force and an ‘aggressive force’.  From its source, Satan, it is an ‘aggressive’ force, ALWAYS active and actively seeking to enter and control your mind; it is ‘passive’ from the perspective that the target of it doesn’t need to do anything for it to enter and destroy.  In fact, unless the target aggressively acts to oppose and stop fear, it WILL enter your mind and begin its destruction.

Satan is the ‘master of fear’ and he works to introduce issues, questions or problems through your eyes and ears that provide a pathway for fear to enter and begin its destructive work.

On the other hand and also from the human perspective, faith, when put into action, is an ‘aggressive’ force, meaning that the person who wants to use his or her faith to produce a specific result MUST deliberately and aggressively exercise his or her faith for it to work and produce that result.

This article attempts to explain the workings of ‘faith’ and why it is critical to maintain strong, active and aggressive faith in our Christian walk.

What is Faith?

The writer of the Book of Hebrews tells us, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear” (Hebrews 11:1 KJV).

Interestingly, the word ‘substance’ in this passage is the English translation of the Greek word, ‘hupostasis’, (Strong’s 5287, pronounced hoop-os’-tas-is); it means the ‘setting under’, support (as in a foundation), the ‘essence’.  In its use as a ‘foundation’, it assures us that faith is ‘the foundation’, the spiritual support on which our hope rests.

Enter the ‘Evidence’

The evidence mentioned in Hebrews 11:1 is the English translation of the Greek word elegchos (Strong’s 1650, pronounced el’-eng-khos) and is generally defined as a ‘title deed’, or a ‘proof’, a ‘conviction’ that brings confidence.  Even though every man has been ‘dealt the measure of faith’, faith alone will accomplish nothing.  A person’s ‘hope’ must be reinforced with a foundation (support for things hoped for) that will make evident (bring into sight) those things which ‘are hoped for’, but cannot yet be seen.  The first verse in chapter 11 of Hebrews tells us that by this action, the combination of support and the ‘title deed’, God the Creator made everything that can be seen from that which is unseen.

Greek scholar Marvin R. Vincent explained this action very well: the foundation, Gr. ‘Hupostasis’, and the evidence, Gr. ‘elegchos’ are not to be considered as totally separate conceptions in this case, but must be taken together for faith to work.

The foundation and the evidence cannot be separated or faith will fail.

How is Faith Activated?

It is critical to understand that faith, lying dormant, has absolutely no ability to bring anything hoped for into existence.  Faith, a spiritual substance, when used according to God’s word, will allow unseen things that are ‘hoped for’ and which exist in the spiritual realm to be proven, or seen, first on a spiritual level, with ‘spiritual eyes’, then on a physical level as faith causes the unseen things to be brought into the physical realm where the former ‘hope’ for them can be realized and fulfilled.

There are substantive things which can be seen with the human eye and things which cannot.  Both exist, but the physical things we CAN see often are given more credence just BECAUSE they can be seen.  However, the things that are spiritual exist on a higher level, one that can be accessed only by the spiritual force of faith.  It is futile and dangerous to try to see the unseen things with the human eye and bring them into the physical realm (using mental assent, wishing them into existence), thus denying the faith that supports the hope for, and the attainment of, the unseen:  futile in the sense that your physical eyes and ears, absent the force of faith, are not and will not ever be able to ‘see’ them; dangerous in the sense that, an unseen spiritual force, such as a demon spirit, is more than happy to provide you with something you can see that will enter your life in a way that causes chaos and destruction.

The Faith of God

Faith is not just required in order to realize the things one hopes for, but even more importantly, one cannot please God except through faith (Hebrews 11:6 KJV).  Why is this?  Consider that everything that our God created was ‘by faith’ (Hebrews 11:3 KJV).  He knew that  whatever He spoke forth using His faith, would come to pass, or appear, in the exact way He desired.  But why does God have to use faith?  Everything that can be affected in the spirit realm can only be affected using a spiritual force.  Fear uncontested will stop faith in its tracks.  Since there is no fear in God, He used His faith to create what He desired to have. His spoken words activated His faith and brought the unseen into a physical world where it can be seen with physical eyes.

Where Does Human Faith Come From?

We’re told in Romans 12:3, “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.”  So there it is: God has given every man the measure of faith, but how much is that ‘measure’?  The English word ‘measure’ is from the Greek word metron (Strong’s 3358, pronounced met’-ron), meaning by implication, a ‘limited (fixed) amount’ or to a limited (fixed) degree.  So, from the above scripture, it should be apparent that every person has been given ‘the measure of faith’.

Dormant faith is virtually useless since it must be activated to bring any change.  If we are to learn to use faith to produce good things/results, we need to understand that it is NOT the amount of faith one has, but whether one has learned how to activate it.  What is needed to get the faith into motion, working on the ‘things hoped for’?  When Jesus was teaching around a multitude, a man approached Him and begged the Lord to heal his son who was ‘lunatic and sore vexed’ by a demon spirit.  The disciples had tried to heal the child but were unable to do so and the man brought the child directly to Jesus.  Jesus rebuked the demon which then departed from the child.  The disciples privately asked Jesus why they were unable to cast out the devil.  “And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, YE SHALL SAY unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.  Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting” (Matthew 17:19-21 KJV).

There are two critical points in Jesus words that MUST be understood if one is to use his faith to produce good results.  First, even though Jesus mentions ‘faith as a grain of mustard seed’, He is not talking about the size of the seed.  The mustard seed, even though extremely small, is capable of growing into a plant large enough for birds to roost in.  But, unless that seed is planted, it will remain a tiny seed that produces nothing.  Jesus equates the mustard seed with faith.  It is NOT the size of your faith that is important, but what you DO with it. But how does that seed (faith) get planted?  Allow the words of Jesus to answer that question with the words He gave to His disciples when they asked Him about the ‘parable of the sower’ in Mark chapter 4: “The sower soweth the word”.  The physical act of sowing a seed into the ground (which when watered, activates the seed) is equivalent to activating faith by speaking it out (sowing the word).  In Jesus’s words, if one has faith and properly activates it, nothing shall be impossible unto him.

Secondly, Jesus confirms that dealing effectively with certain demon spirits ‘requires prayer and fasting’.  Being ready in an instant to help someone who is being tormented by a demon will require more than reciting a few Bible verses and saying, ‘be freed, healed or blessed’.  This can be equated with the words of James who said, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James, 4:7 KJV)

‘Aggressive Faith’ Demands Something

In Luke chapter 18, Jesus was teaching His disciples and followers and he used the parable of the widow who went to a judge and asked him to ‘avenge her of her adversary’.  Jesus described this particular judge as ‘unjust’, a man who neither feared God nor had any regard for man.  Obviously, after the judge originally refused to hear her, the widow returned several times, asking for his help, and he, being wearied of her persistence, finally provided the vengeance she requested.

The widow seems to have had faith in the ability of the unjust judge to avenge her since she kept returning and repeating her request.  She likely knew that he was unjust but she recognized the authority that was given to him as a judge to avenge her.  We’re told that she sought ‘vengeance’, so vengeance is what she was hoping to get. She exercised faith by asking/demanding to be given what she hoped to get.

As Jesus ended the teaching, he stated that even though God ‘bears long with his elect’, He will avenge them speedily.  Then He asked a curious question: “Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?”  I found the best explanation for this curious passage in The New Testament, An Expanded Translation, by the renowned Greek language scholar and Biblical translator, Kenneth S. Wuest.  Mr. Wuest also wrote a four-volume series, Word Studies in the Greek New Testament and these books provide an education in understanding the New Testament using his thorough translation and word study of the original Greek words from that period.  In this passage, Wuest relates that when Jesus asked that question, based on the tense of the words written, He was referring to the ‘type of faith’ the widow used when she ‘constantly’ asked the judge to satisfy her demand for justice.  Hers was a faith that would not allow her to ask once and then quietly and meekly walk away, forgetting what she needed.  Her faith was strong and she repeatedly used it (aggressively) to receive what she hoped for until the judge relented and provided it.

This use of ‘aggressive’ faith was what Jesus was talking about when He questioned whether He would find it when He returns.  Just before His death, He was explaining to His disciples who had depended on Him for all their needs, sometimes through miracles, that He was going away and that they would now be praying to the Father in Jesus name.  He told them, “Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.  The word ‘ask’ used here is best translated ‘be continually asking’, or ask just as the widow did who, due to her aggressive faith and persistence, received what she needed.  Jesus is talking about ‘aggressive faith’, the kind that never gives up.

Jesus was at times amazed at the lack of faith among his Jewish brethren, and was often amazed at the great faith he found among some gentiles.  But this question seems to indicate that He has some doubt about the presence of ‘aggressive faith’, the persistent faith that actually gets results, the kind that He seems to doubt will be in use when He returns to earth.  Based on the level of apostasy now being seen among the ‘religious denominations’, I would say His doubt is well founded.

Great Faith

The definition of a ‘measure’, or ‘fixed amount’ of faith, could easily beg the question, “If every man has inherently a measure of faith exactly the same as every other man, how is it that some people are known as having ‘great faith’ and some as having ‘little faith’.  Jesus used those descriptions in several passages, for example, when He was asked to heal the sick servant of the Roman centurion, and Jesus offered to come to the centurion’s house and heal the man, the centurion said, “Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.”  (Matthew 8:8-9 KJV).  Jesus then marveled at the man and said to all the people around him, “I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel” (Matthew 8:10 KJV)

Why did this get the attention of Jesus so that he marveled at the man?  Because the centurion, ‘a man set under authority’, and knowing exactly the limit of that authority, he recognized the authority in Jesus and he voiced his faith in that authority.  He spoke out (vocally exercised) his faith in Jesus authority, the authority God had given to Jesus to heal any sickness or disease.   The ‘exercise’ of his ‘limited measure of faith’ brought forth from Jesus the healing of his servant, that which he had hoped for.  His faith was still limited, but, because he exercised the ‘measure of faith’ he HAD, he received that for which he had hoped.

Little Faith

Shortly after his meeting with the centurion, Jesus commanded His disciples that He and they should enter a small ship and depart for the other side (of the Sea of Galilee).

“And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.  But the men marveled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!” (Matthew 8:23-27 KJV).

Jesus asked His disciples why they were so fearful and said they were “of little faith”.  He did not mean that their faith was ‘small in stature’, but that, because they did not exercise it, it had no force behind it.  Just for comparison, let’s say that faith is similar to a bicep muscle in a man’s body.  Every male person born has that same muscle, whether a grown man or a small child.  But the bicep in the adult body is much larger and stronger than that of the child.  Why is that?  Simple, the man has used and exercised that muscle thousands of times, causing it to become larger and stronger with constant exercising, and the child has not.  It is not the ‘size’ of the muscle (faith) that matters, but how it is used, or exercised.

Faith Exercised Brings Peace and Joy

This same event is mentioned in the Book of Luke: “Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake (Luke 8:22 KJV).  If Jesus spoke it, whatever He spoke was sure to find fruition, or in this case, whatever conditions might prevail, such as a violent storm, because Jesus had spoken the words, He WAS GOING TO THE OTHER SIDE, no matter what.  He never allowed fear to enter His consciousness because fear is the enemy of faith.

Had the disciples established their confidence in and on Jesus’s words, they also would have laid down and slept, totally without fear, because the ship was going to the other side, storm or no storm.  Jesus never allowed fear to enter His consciousness because fear is the enemy of faith and if allowed to enter the heart, faith will give way to it. God’s spiritual laws always guided Jesus in everything He said and did; remember, God’s spiritual law always dominates physical law, even when the physical law presents a violent storm.

Thankfully, Jesus DID exercise His faith and he SPOKE to the winds and the waves and brought peace and calm out of chaos and violence.  This is what Jesus demonstrated during His entire life, that ‘aggressive’ faith can bring peace that passes all understanding and joy unspeakable.

The fact that Jesus questioned whether that kind of faith would be ‘found’ when He comes back indicates that He is constantly looking for it, knowing that it is the only way to bring the peace and joy that He wants us to have.

Are you ready to aggressively exercise your faith and receive the things hoped for along with the peace and joy you desire?  If so, submit yourselves to God, stay submitted to Him and then get to work and allow the exercising of your faith to begin bringing those unseen ‘things hoped for’ from the  spiritual realm into the physical realm where they can be seen and enjoyed.

Blessings and, Maranatha!

How do you Manage America’s Decline?

/in , , , , , /by

“We’ve got to ride this global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy.” – Timothy Wirth, President of the UN Foundation

“No matter if the science of global warming is all phony…climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.” – Christine Stewart, former Canadian Minister of the Environment

Messaging has always been a favorite tool of the Globalists.

The problem is they concentrate so much on the message, there is usually nothing behind the message. Most Globalist programs are thrown out for the public to use without testing, or control groups, sampling and feasibility studies. The modeling is done by computer using the Precautionary Principal aka Worst Case Scenario (WCS).  The Worst Case Scenario /WCS creates the most fear and requires the most drastic measures to solve the problem. Obviously it is the preferred choice by the Globalists who like to create chaos.

Their solution is to focus on the item or issue that has the least influence over the problem guaranteeing failure and longevity of the project. i.e.: Transgender Appreciation Day… Only 2million persons identify as Transgender. That is about .03% of the population. Yet 99.97% of the population must endure a new lifestyle. If we live in a democracy as they continue to say, how does the minority get do make rules for the majority. Does anyone really care what a person does behind closed doors? I am not interested. I am interested in whether or not you are qualified for the job.   As a small business owner I was only interested if you could add value to my corporation with first rate products, quality workmanship, merit, values, morality.  I had my candidates read to me, write paragraphs, follow directions and do math.  These should be the qualifications not skin color. Choosing by color creates a mediocre atmosphere with mediocre products. Our government and media are perfect examples of this guaranteed failure. The SEC was just directed to lend money on the ESG (Environment, Social, Governance)score – not excellence, or worse yet, can they repay the loan aka exit plan.

Destroying the fossil fuel industry is another example of the lies spread by Globalist criminals who benefit from its failure. Thousands of products are made with fossil fuel. The industry now burns clean. This industry touches everything we consume. What will happen to those much needed products? Glass, phones, computers, transportation clothing food, air conditioning, appliances, plastics will all be eliminated in order to “save the planet.”  How come no one ever mentions that?

Removing CO2 the gas NEEDED FOR FOOD and buying land to remain fallow, guarantees food shortages plus a vast number of products and services no longer available. These criminals have dumbed and scared the population to think they can control Mother Nature.  By their concept people should Just go outside and tell GAIA (the planet) to stop the tornados if we give up plastic straws. Why are they determined to eliminate fossil fuel – because they don’t own the companies that produce coal and gas. Energy companies in communist countries are owned by the government and that is the goal of the Globalists. They must own everything, all forms of production, distribution, consumption of all goods and services. So they must bankrupt these companies and have them beg for money. Then the globalists will give money with lots of strings.   Once completed, this agenda will tell all (except the globalists) how to live, what to eat, wear, drive, monitor, work and distribute healthcare, amount of energy, and allowable food.  Right now Europe is freezing because of policies the Globalist lies have created. Renewables are not ready for prime time.  When renewables are used to fly a jet, I will listen.

The major Globalist goal is to depopulate the planet. So the manufactured crisis is food shortages. We don’t have enough food they cry. Of course not as they buy farmland to keep fallow. Listen to the speeches of these “World Globalists”.  Those who control the energy, control the country. Those who control the food and health can control the people. This crowd of Globalists aim to control everything.  Click here to Listen as they tell you exactly how the Western economy will be destroyed. 

But…there is always a but…

It seems more and more that the Putin vs Ukraine has put a dent in the global operation. The more people understand what globalism will bring them: Training for lifelong labor, doing more for less, mandates, lockdowns, being able to choose only what the government allows.  There is HOPE.  We see rallies and elections bringing more nationalist candidates to the forefront.   Although Trump and Putin are very different they both believe in their respective country. Putin wants Russia to expand back to the days of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR). Trump wants America first and doesn’t care about expansion, But…they both want their country to succeed. The citizens want their country to come first as well. This message is being seen in each election as nationalist candidates in America are on the winning ticket.  This is being seen in other countries as well as Marine LaPen is giving globalist Macron a run for his life in the coming election.  Viktor Orban (Nationalist – Hungry) just won a major victory.

Globalists don’t care if the program and solution actually work. Their success comes from the loss of your success, the destruction of another industry, loss of morality, value, comfort, luxury.  They are constantly telling others to sacrifice while they lose nothing. Globalists force meaningless regulations on the opposition to insure failure. Then they use government regulations to prop up their choice of endeavor, invest and make millions.  They are happier when things don’t work. Then they can ask for more money, more time, another committee, more hearings,,, The issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution aka transformation. So win or lose on the program, who cares. They will just create chaos so the people will be upset, frightened and need more government. Everything is connected. Nothing is random. There are no coincidences. Everything has a plan. All plans are based on lies. the next time you hear a globalist tell you to sacrifice, say ‘After you.”

The Globalist/Communist/Fascist/Democrat/RINOs are the enemy.

All they do is regurgitate the same old policies and talking points with new names. Money, Power, Control is all they care about.  We must be able to name the enemy. Don’t view them as Americans they are not. Don’t try to make sense of anything they do or say. They are only trying to confuse you. Look to see what they are doing like passing bills late at night to take away our rights.  We have allowed them to think they are the global elite.  We thought they cared about America instead they want to destroy the middle class and America. They hate Americans. They hate the US Constitution.  They will not be happy until they have everything you own and you work for them.  How do you control 330Million people?  You lie.

Is America worth saving? Are you an American or a Globalist? You can’t be both.
