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:

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:

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 Bête 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 25^th 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.

About That Durham Report

The long-awaited Durham report came out on Monday, May 15. It’s over 300 pages, so, while there has been a lot of immediate response, there may also be a longer time for some things to boil up to the surface. There are two main responses:

·        Yes, just as we knew, the whole Russia collusion hoax was indeed an invention of the Hillary Clinton campaign.

·        But why is no one being prosecuted?

So there’s the satisfaction of having the evidence laid out for the public to see—although the public that hadn’t already seen it won’t be fed this information from the press who kept them from seeing what the rest of us saw all along. And there’s also the disappointment that we’re not about to see perp walks of the many colluders who have been fighting against our rights and freedoms.

You can read the Durham Report in full here. 

I’ll do a fairly brief summary of the highlights. And then list a few of the sources I listened to, some of which have a thought or two to add.

The full Durham Report is available here.

 

The Summary

Glenn Beck did a fairly good summary here. I’ll go through what he said, using some of the transcript and an occasional paraphrase of his words:

There was a meeting August 3, 2016, a briefing by CIA director John Brennan, in the Oval Office, with Barack Obama (president at the time), Joe Biden (VP at the time), James Comey (FBI Director at the time), and other senior administration officials. According to Brennan’s handwritten notes and his recollections from the meeting, he briefed those in the room on relevant intelligence known to date on Russian election interference, including “the Clinton Plan intelligence.”

Durham writes, “specifically Director Brennan’s declassified handwritten notes reflect that he briefed the meeting’s participants regarding the alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on the 26th of July of a proposal from one of her campaign advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian Security Services.”

When the Steele dossier comes out, they all know that it is the Clinton Plan intelligence.

When they receive it, they know it is false, that it is the Clinton campaign invention, but they launch a full (not preliminary) investigation anyway. The agents didn’t then or in hindsight have any belief that any of the claims in the dossier were true.

Then they leak the information to the press, knowing it to be false.

There’s more. On August 22, 2016, an FBI cyber analyst sent an email to the Bureau employees and senior intelligence officials informing them of the details of the Clinton Plan. They “failed to remember” any follow-up actions the Bureau might have taken after the second briefing on it.

The FBI, when it got the Steele dossier, knowing it to be the Clinton campaign fabrication they were briefed would be coming—when they got it, they went to Christopher Steele (author of the dossier) and offered to pay him $1 million, and pay his primary sources money, if anyone was able to provide proof (or at least provide plausible evidence).

As Glenn Beck explains, what we see is that, when Hillary Clinton’s operatives couldn’t get anything really solid, they pass the made-up dossier to the FBI. The FBI looks at it and goes, “This is garbage.” “Yeah, I know, but it could be true.” “All right. Offer him a million dollars if he can come up with something.”

FBI Agent Brian Auten traveled to Rome and met with Steele in October 2016. And he made the offer knowing that the dossier relied primarily on one person or sub-source. The Bureau paid that sub-source, Igor Danchenko, around $250,000 (of our tax money) even after he was unable to provide any evidence for a single claim.

The FBI made this payout even though they had significant evidence that Danchenko himself was Russian Intelligence. It had closed a counterintelligence investigation into him in 2011, because agents mistakenly believed he had left the country. The FBI had investigated Danchenko as a possible Russian spy from 2009-2011, after a colleague at the Brooking Institute, the left-leaning think tank where he worked, told the FBI that Danchenko raised the prospect of paying him for classified information if the colleague would join the Obama administration.

A second Brookings employee also told the FBI that he suspected Danchenko of being connected to Russian Intelligence. It became a full-fledged investigation when the FBI realized that Danchenko was a known associate of two other spies and had contacts with known Russian Intelligence officers, and had said he wanted to join the Russian diplomatic service. He also told another person that he worked on “special matters” for the Russian army and that his Russian passport listed him as connected to the Russian military intelligence service.

They paid Danchenko $250,000 to prove that Trump was colluding with people like him. He couldn’t come up with that evidence.

The Clinton campaign, with significant help from the FBI, and at least tacit approval from Obama, Biden, and the other senior administration officials, colluded with Russian spies to interfere with the 2016 election by claiming that Trump was doing the very thing they were actually doing.

Let’s add to that a few details.

The FBI comes out with a statement, after the report came out Monday: “The conduct in the 2016 and 2017 special counsel Durham examined was the reason that the current FBI leadership already implemented dozens of corrective actions, which now have been in place for some time.” As Glenn Beck adds, with some irony, “So they fixed it. Nothing to see here. No one went to jail. No one was fired. No one was held accountable. But trust us, they say, we’ve fixed it.”

Except, remember that guy who paid Steele in Rome? Agent Brian Auten? He was a primary figure in squelching the Hunter Biden laptop story just before the 2020 election. 2016 was the first attempt to take out Trump with election interference; 2020 was when they pulled out all the stops, and that was just one of them. So, no, the FBI hasn’t “fixed it,” clearly.

There’s this other niggling detail. I’m not sure yet whether it’s in the report. But the Steele dossier got them the FISA warrant, to spy on the Trump campaign. That was illegal, since they knew the dossier was fake, and was provided by the Clinton campaign, although they hid that information from the FISA judge.

But they kept spying, even after Trump was in the White House. Without any reason or pretext, they spied on a sitting president of the United States. If they would do that, what would they not do?

One question about this period is about the Adam Schiff lie. He was chair of the House Intelligence Committee at the time. Law professor Jonathan Turley tweets this:

Given Durham's findings that there was no basis for the actions taken by the FBI in launching this investigation, this would be a good time for former House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff to reveal that evidence he said showed the Russian collusion… Schiff and other Democrats previously sought to prevent Durham from continuing his investigation and issuing this report.

Yes, I’d like to see exactly what evidence Schiff could produce, that he was referring to back then. But don’t expect media to actually ask the question.

Glenn Beck explains the Durham Report.

The Commentary

Several of the commentators responding have referred to the episode as an attempted coup. That is not hyperbole. By definition, it was “a sudden appropriation of leadership or power; a takeover.” The people are supposed to be in power in America; we choose our leaders, who are obliged to abide by the law and listen to the people in making laws. 2016 was definitely a coup attempt. So was the Ukraine phonecall they impeached Trump for—wherein there were no laws broken, and in reality it was a cautious warning to Ukraine’s new president at the time of corruption in his government—which Biden was deeply involved in.

Then there was the 2020 election—in which they interfered by claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation so as to sway the election. And then there were all the changes in election law, supposedly because of COVID, making cheating easier. A coup is the Occam’s Razor explanation for a feeble candidate such as Biden, who barely campaigned and had no excited support, winning the election with more votes than any candidate in history.

Then there have been the various lawsuits, which in sane times would get immediately dismissed, but in our insane times seem to be an attempt to find something that will make Trump ineligible to run again, or at least make him even more unpalatable to voters. Add to that the raid on his home in Mar-a-Lago, over negotiations of papers the National Archives wanted and that he was cooperating with them on. The coup attempts continue into the foreseeable future.

So, here are a few perspectives I found worth listening to this week:

·       “FBI Insider REVEALS ALL To Mr Reagan - Durham Report EXPOSED” Chris Cole interviews former FBI Agent and current state Senate candidate for Northern Virginia, Mike Van Meter, discussing the Durham Report, May 17, 2023.

·       “LIVE: Inside the New Durham Report: Where’s the Accountability?—Jeff Carlson and Hans Mahncke” Jan Jekielek on American Thought Leaders for EpochTV, May 15, 2023.

·       “[DS] Staged A Coup, Treason, FBI/DOJ Cleaning, The 40,000ft View Reveals The Path – Ep. 3070” X22 Report, May 16, 2023.  

·       “Durham Report EXPLAINED: Here’s EVERYTHING we learned” Glenn Beck for The Blaze, May 16, 2023.  [This is the one I reference above.]

Here’s a bonus. Glenn Beck did a special Thursday evening, called "The Reckoning." He recognizes that we’re not satisfied with what we see as crimes being committed without penalty, while unfair accusations and law-fare are being wielded against innocent people. He suggests a plan, and he starts this series with the Biden crime family. He and his research team have identified 150 crimes committed by Hunter Biden—identifying only those with rock solid evidence, ranging from drugs, guns, and prostitution, to influence peddling and tax fraud. These are undisputed and well documented. He suggests that, while we have a partisan, corrupt DOJ who won’t prosecute, those crimes were committed in various states and localities. It’s possible to prosecute at the state or local level, without having to wait for a federal prosecutor. There’s plenty of precedent with various states going after Trump on invented charges. We don’t have to invent charges or evidence; we just have to make use of the evidence.

Beck has provided the documents. And he asks that we do some crowdsourcing—go through the documents, find crimes that were committed in our state or county or city, and pressure local officials to prosecute. Enough prosecutions from enough places could lead to some eventual reckoning.
