Fight! Fight! Fight! With Voices, Votes, and Prayers

A note on Facebook says, “I’m getting really tired of being part of a major historical event.” I used to think history was something you recognized in hindsight, not necessarily while it’s happening. But we’re living through historic times, as I believe I said last week. Such times can be equal parts fascinating, scary, and exhausting.

Since last week,

·        On Thursday rumors flew that Biden would drop out of the campaign, which he would announce on Sunday, and he would not be endorsing Kamala Harris.

·        Biden claimed he would continue to run, including up through late Saturday night.

·        Biden tweeted out a letter (with a squirrelly signature), early Sunday morning, saying he was dropping out of the race.

·        Biden tweeted that he would be endorsing Kamala Harris.

·        Legal and financial hurdles to a replacement candidate are ignored. Lawsuits may follow.

·        Kamala has supposedly gotten support of enough delegates to be nominated—verifying that “saving democracy” was never a priority for those opposing Donald Trump.

·        Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle testifies before Congress and proves she is utterly incompetent.

·        Cheatle steps down from her position. This does not automatically solve all the SS problems.

·        Many questions remain unanswered concerning the investigation into the assassination attempt.

·        Biden finally speaks to the nation, Wednesday evening, proving he is nominally alive, but reassuring no one that he is capable of being president.

There are many excellent responses, but here are a couple:

Response from Harris County Republican Chair Cindy Siegel

In what world would there be news that would distract from the assassination attempt on Donald Trump? Well, this one where Joe Biden insists, despite the rumors, that he is running and will continue to run for reelection. And then on Sunday—the day rumored to be the day he would make the announcement—he announces via a PDF letter on Twitter with a signature that doesn’t look authentic—that he would be stepping away from the race. Some days earlier it was announced he had COVID. No one had seen him since. Here are a couple of the immediate skeptical responses:

And there’s this list of questions, by Stephen Miller, passed along by Tom Woods in a daily email:


From Tom Woods email newsletter July 22, 2024
 

Wednesday, July 24, Biden finally spoke, from the oval office, to explain. He didn’t actually explain, though. And he almost didn’t blink. I tried keeping my eyes open until his next blink, and I couldn’t do it. He was reading a teleprompter. I heard someone say it was the large one, instead of a smaller one that would have him reading right into the camera, which is why his eyes are directed slightly away from the viewer. In reading the words, he still stumbled, and seemed to lose his place on occasion, in the 11 minutes or so that he spoke.

He blatantly lied multiple times about his “accomplishments” as president. I had thought I might want to go through the lies and debunk them. Since the debate, Mr. Reagan (YouTube channel) has been promising to do a video fact-checking of both Trump and Biden, since they keep claiming Trump lied (Jill Biden screamed it to a crowd), but he hasn’t completed that. Maybe it’s a given. Biden lies. While Trump exaggerates, he is surprisingly truthful. But the rest of them—they all lie. I considered doing my own fact check—not just of the debate, but the Biden interview a week later, and the Sunday stepping-down letter, and the Wednesday night “explanation to the nation.” But it’s such a given that they lie, I’m postponing that for some future time, if it ever becomes expedient.

Anyway, the Clintons have endorsed Kamala. The Obamas, noticeably, have not done so [after I wrote, but before I posted, they endorsed Kamala, very early morning July 26]. One thing about power mongers, they compete against each other. So there may yet be a play to have an open convention and pull someone in out of thin air. Michelle Obama? Many people continue to verify that she is not willing to do it, even as a puppet with Barack doing all of the actual work of tyrannical rule. I don’t know. It does appear Obama “leaked” a hint that maybe Joe ought to get out of the race, a week ago.

Which brings us to the point I want to make today.

We are indeed witnessing a coup. I don’t know who is holding the reins of power right now, but it is not Biden. We have known for years that he was incapable of handling the job of president, and that he was merely a puppet. Everyone surrounding him knew this. This absolutely includes Kamala Harris.

If they have lied about something as significant as whether the president is incapacitated, and covered up the fact, what else are they lying about?

To be clear, they are not now pushing Biden aside because of his mental incapacitation; they are pushing him aside because the public now knows about it. And putting him in that debate—despite all the things they did to favor him—was a ploy to get the public to see that truth, probably to get him out. All of the people involved could have called him out before a primary, but they didn’t. Let them explain why.

They lied about him running the country and have not revealed who the unelected person behind the scenes is who has been pulling the strings. They lied about “democracy” and protecting us from Donald Trump, who is “literally Hitler.” (One report has now said that J. D. Vance, Trumps VP pick, is “even worse than Hitler.”) They lie about the economy being great, when we know it isn’t. They lie about the border being secure, when we know it isn’t. They lie.

Knowing that they are lying to us is what we need to be aware of—and be willing to call out—in the coming months.

There’s a summary I came across in an article on the Tom Klingenstein website by Frank Cannon: "Attack on Trump Lays Bare the Stakes of This Election":  

As President Trump raised his fist and rallied his supporters to continue the fight, he demonstrated that he understands the stakes of the ideological battle taking place. And as the crowd responded with chants of “USA,” it made clear exactly what this battle is about. America itself is the target of a radical and violent campaign meant to undermine and destroy it entirely. Trump is simply the central figure standing in their way.

I was going to end the quote there, but the next paragraph is worth sharing as well:

In this moment, it is every American’s sacred duty to fight in our nation’s defense—not with violence or bullets or any of the cynical tactics of the desperate left, but with our voices and political efforts, our votes and prayers. It is precisely because these tactics are more powerful than anything on Earth—because America’s founding principles were not just pleasant sentiments but deep and abiding truths—that the left is so scared of them. It is fear of these tactics and their potency that leads the left to demonize, marginalize, and de-platform Trump. And it is this fear that drives certain zealots among them to feel that a peaceful political rally calls for gunfire and bloodshed in response.

 

There was a fascinating conversation this week between Tucker Carlson and Jack Posobiec. Posobiec uses the word leviathan to describe the Deep State cabal, but beyond just in our country, the worldwide Deep State cabal.

Jack Posobiec on Tucker Carlson show: "The Trump Shooting
and the Coup against Biden
"

Leviathan is a sea monster. The term is used in Isaiah 27:1, and a few other places in the Old Testament. The term in Isaiah could be describing the same sea monster, or sea beast, of Revelation 13. As I've mentioned before, in Revelation, the beast that rises out of the sea, symbolically means it’s an entity that covers many parts of the world, many nations—the overseas places. It is controlled by the dragon—which is Satan. And it is supported by another beast, a false-speaking ram, which gives the sea beast power to speak and to function. I call this one the propaganda beast. There’s another word, “behemoth,” that might be used here; so the behemoth supports the leviathan. Or the propaganda (in media, academia, and government—information sources) supports the worldwide cabal of power mongers.

Whatever you call it, and without identifying particular nations or persons that make up this entity, let’s just say Satan is controlling a worldwide cabal.

La BĂȘte de la Mer, a medieval tapestry depicting John the Revelator
seeing the dragon and the sea beast from Rev. 13

Back in March of 2023 I mentioned that I was wondering about the verses of Revelation 13:5-7, where it says that the sea beast will reign over the saints—the good people of the earth—for 42 months. I hesitate to “American-ize” Bible verses, but it just might be that the illegitimate administration of Joe Biden (and I think we can be pretty certain it was many many instances of voter fraud and a lot of collusion and propaganda that produced him as a “winner”) could qualify as the reign of the beast (worldwide cabal) over the saints (the people of covenant America, but which affects the whole world).

I didn’t know whether to count the reign as beginning at the election or the inauguration, but time passes, and 42 months go by. Forty-two months from the election would have been in May 2024. It was evident at that point that Biden was incompetent—even to a growing number of people who hadn’t noticed before, or admitted it. But that didn’t seem like enough, so I kept watching. Forty-two months after the inauguration was July 20, 2024. At the completion of that day, and early the following morning, Joe Biden’s “dropping out” letter went out. Are we seeing scriptural prophecy played out? Maybe.

After our attempt to understand scripture—Daniel 12:11—and counting 1290 days to wake up and see that Hamas had attacked Israel that very day, I’m thinking we really ought to be reading scriptures and paying attention. So, a strong maybe.

Whatever they say about Biden carrying on as president, we know that he is not doing that. If he has to drop out of the race—because people realized how incapacitated he was—then he is clearly too incapacitated to function as president. The only hesitation to invoke the 25th Amendment is the threat of even a very brief Kamala Harris presidency.

But his power is gone. And a layer has been peeled away from the propped up image of the sea beast. The narrative that Biden is brave and selfless to step aside for the sake of the party and the country is, of course, propaganda, because that beast always shows up to prop up the sea beast.

This is still speculation on my part. But if we have just passed the 42 months of the beast’s reign, then that means going forward we will see its power decreasing—assuming the forces for good (including us regular people) continue to “Fight! Fight! Fight!” That also means we may see some violent responses from the beast, as a cornered predator fighting for its survival.

The final ten minutes or so of the Jack Posobiec/Tucker Carlson conversation was along those lines. They had been talking about communist revolutions. And then Tucker comments that the results following these revolutions are always worse than the circumstances before. Every time. And he refers to Posobiec’s postulate that the purpose of a system is what it does, commenting, “Then making people suffer was the whole point.” Posobiec agrees, and adds,

Now, a rational person might say, “How can you still support communism after communism’s killed a hundred million people?” Right? Well, turn that back around on itself. What if killing 100 million people was the point? If you talk to one of them, and you actually got them to answer you truthfully, they would say that, “100 million—that’s a good start. You need to add to that. Because those were Christians, those were racists, those were people who stood in the way of our utopia. And those people need to be removed from our system before we can have what it is that we truly want.”

They spend some time looking at various revolutions, and the pattern, including Spain, France, China. Then back to Spain, under Franco, and some of the atrocities, calling it,

actual demons taking human form, killing priests. Raping nuns on the altar, and then taking the nuns’ bodies and displaying their bodies, you know, with their habits on, in the public square and saying, “This is a sign of what we will do to the Church, what we will do to you, what we will do to your family.”

Shortly later Posobiec explains this as part of Lucifer’s plan:

So, Lucifer says, “I can do better than God. Look at what God has created. Look at all these problems. Look at—things aren’t going well. I don’t like this. I can do better than God. I will create utopia on earth.” And so this is what leads him to rebel against the throne. This is why Lucifer comes at God, and God of course destroys him, because He’s God. So Lucifer and the fallen angels become the demons. And the demons realize that—OK, you can’t make open war on God, because God will destroy you. So what do you do? You attack His creation.

So, if God’s connection to His creation is through the human heart, then that’s where you strike. So, you take over through the heart. C. S. Lewis, of course, Screwtape Letters, all of this, talks about it, how this is how you’re able to infiltrate the human heart. And when you infiltrate the human heart, you can suddenly turn it into these madmen. The actual demonic control of individuals through these ideas of, “What we are doing is for the greater good. What we are doing is for the future. We are smashing the old.” And so you require these propaganda operations again, and again, and again, and over time, to be able to get people to commit some of the most horrific— Again, raping nuns on an altar.

They talk of more examples. And they talk of totalitarianism. And how being unwilling to rock the boat, to stand up against the evil, is what allows it to flourish. Posobiec offers this hope at the end:

We actually don’t have to live this way, as a matter of fact. Every person has the ability, whether it’s within your own circle, within your own town. Or perhaps you’ve got a big platform, or, you know, you’re someone like Trump who’s running for office. You have the ability to actually change things.

One difference between now and previous times the pattern has played out is that this time they haven’t, despite their attempts, been able to silence all the sources of information. And truth seekers can often find the truth in there.

We all witnessed the debate. And they couldn’t control our reaction to it; a layer was pulled back. The assassination attempt was one of the most photographed and reported events of all time. There had been only one camera on the JFK assassination. At the Trump rally, there were tens of thousands of people—with hundreds of phone cameras trained on Trump when that happened. We’re asking questions. The data is being shared and examined by many people with various skills. And we’re not satisfied with the obfuscation of the cabal.

And one more difference about this time: it’s closer to the Second Coming. We have to do our part—to be on the side of God, and work for good in whatever is our circle of influence. But God will fight our battles—as He did when He slightly turned Trump’s head just as the trigger was pulled. He has split-second timing that we can’t master. But if we stay with Him, we will witness more miracles.

Check Your Heart

This week has been historic. There’s been so much already said about the attempted assassination of the Once and Future President Donald Trump that any additions I make are not necessary—except for my personal understanding. So I’m writing a few things, and you’re welcome to read them.

I am among those who see God’s hand in the preservation of this man. The slight turning of his head at exactly the right moment was the difference between a flesh wound to his ear and a kill shot to his head.

Here's a bonus meme (source unknown) for my fellow Latter-day Saint friends, referencing Helaman 13.



How do we know that was the work of God and not just coincidence or luck? The simple (but not necessarily easy) answer is: ask God, and then listen to His answer.

Back in the 1940s there was an assassination attempt against Hitler—actually, there were dozens, starting in the early 1930s. German pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer was involved in a plot in 1944; he was imprisoned, and then put to death just days before Hitler’s eventual death and the end of the war. There’s a movie coming out soon about Bonhoeffer, and a very good book by Eric Metaxas. (I think the movie Valkyrie may be about this plot, which bore that name.) When it happened, a bomb in a briefcase failed to do the intended damage—to the furor who had already put to death millions of his own nation’s citizens and carried out death and carnage in a world war—because it was incidentally moved to the wrong side of a table leg.

Hitler himself saw he preservation from the explosive as God being on his side and protecting him. That seems to me a miscalculation, especially from someone who worshipped evil rather than God.

I am not comparing Trump to Hitler; that is what the enemies do. I am contrasting the two. Hitler the mass murderer was eventually stopped. Trump is fighting for the return of our freedoms—away from tyranny and coercion. And he’s doing it by all legal and constitutional—peaceful—means. The enemy, which has made it a theme to call him “literally Hitler,” are lying to cover for their own murderous hearts. We will need to be vigilant, in action and in prayer, to prevent the next several dozen attempts on Trump’s life.

There is a lot about this incident worth talking about: how could it happen? Who really caused it? What would have been the result if the attempt had succeeded? Some of that I’ll get to below, mostly sharing resources I’ve been looking at. So much more comes out every day. It may take a while for details to be sorted out—especially when the government is lying to us.

For now, what I’m really noticing are the differences in reactions. These are the differences between civilization and savagery. Donald Trump’s response, you’ll note, is exemplary of civilization.


Donald Trump's statement


Biden came out with a bland but appropriate statement, and then he asked for a lowering of the political temperature, which would have almost been believable and useful, if he hadn’t continued his own inflammatory rhetoric within a day.

This difference between civilization and savagery is not political, although there are relevant probabilities related to political leanings. We laugh about people afflicted with TDS—Trump Derangement Syndrome. It appears to be so real. Maybe what it really is can be simply stated as hatred. Calling him Hitler is a way to give themselves a sense of righteousness for their hate.

There are plenty of samples of what I’m talking about.

Screenshots of various tweets or posts have been showing up online. Here are a few, some of which have been held accountable by losing jobs. Being murderous is frowned upon by most employers. (I got all of these from Facebook; my apologies for not identifying original sources.)














These people—and others who publicly stated they wished Trump had been killed by an assassin as well as those who said it or even just thought it to themselves—they have marked themselves with their murderous, hateful intent. Their behavior—including their way of thinking—is not acceptable in a civilized society. Their hateful hearts cannot be accepted and welcomed among us. And more importantly, they have declared their murderous hearts before God.

We need to call them out, to show they felt murder was worth wanting—and laughing about lamenting the miss—ignoring the injury to Trump, the death of a hero in the audience, Corey Comperatore, who died protecting his wife and daughter, and two others (not yet identified) who were hospitalized with injuries. And of course the shooter (the one we know about) was also shot dead, which means getting the full story about his actions and motivations will be hard to get.

If you feel the sense of our time, that time is running out, and the book of Revelation is in play, the declaration that you approve of murder puts these people in the most precarious of situations. If they could suddenly awake to the putridness of their decay, and made a 180 turn toward righteousness, there might be hope for some of these individuals. If you know and love such a person, I feel for you and wish you the best in getting their attention. Maybe some of them have simply been deceived into believing that Trump is “literally Hitler,” despite reality. But time is running out for them. Their eternal destruction is imminent. It’s a sad thing to see.

This meme states it well.

In Other News

There has been more news this week—big enough that in normal times would be the headlines endlessly. As they say, make sure you have your popcorn ready:

·        The classified documents case has been completely dismissed: Prosecutor Jack Smith was not lawfully appointed, nor has he been accessing lawfully appropriated funds. 

·        Donald Trump chose J. D. Vance as his running mate, the next VP of the United States.

·        Trump gave a powerful speech at the RNC Convention, thanking God for his preservation, and calling for unity and peace—following many of his family members, who also gave good speeches.

·        Biden, meanwhile, got COVID.

·        Rumors are that Biden is stepping down from the campaign (not the presidency) and will not be endorsing Kamala Harris. This is supposed to come out officially on Sunday (exactly 42 months after the inauguration). But there might be another play or two by Jill Biden to prevent him from making that decision, or allowing the surrounding party from making that decision for him. 

·        There was the biggest internet glitch in history, worldwide, on Friday, July 19, 2024, affecting airlines, banks, hospitals, 911 systems, and more. We’re assured this was not a hack; it was an error caused by a system update, and instructions for repair (which would require some physical one-machine-at-a-time procedures) were given out.

·        Alec Baldwin charges dismissed.

·        Democrat US Representative from Houston, Sheila Jackson Lee dies of pancreatic cancer. There will need to be a special election for her replacement in the remainder of her term, and an appointment for her replacement on the November ballot. 

 

Resources Related to the Assassination Attempt

We are not getting the truth from government. There are obvious and not-so-obvious lies, mixed in with the confusion that happens when an event is new and not all the details are known. A quote from the late great Alan Vera is apt here (he usually said it in the context of election problems):

"Incompetence is the perfect camouflage for malfeasance."

I am undecided at this point as to how much is incompetence and how much is malfeasance. But you have to believe the people who hate Trump the most because of his threat to their power also just happen to be unbelievably incompetent. Whatever it was, it was a massive security failure.

I suggest Dan Bongino’s daily podcast, on Rumble and elsewhere. As a former Secret Service agent, he has insider insights. I’ve also been following Robert Gouveia, a law vlogger, on YouTube or Locals, who is gathering information as it becomes available, with the eye of a defense attorney (always suspicious of government statements) building a case.
