One can find many examples of high-ranking government officials and others in positions of influence complaining about threats to “our democracy.” 

In 2018 when the great internet purge of conservatives began with the unpersoning and deplatforming of Alex Jones, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said,

Infowars [Infowars is Alex Jones’s news organization] is the tip of a giant iceberg of hate and lies that uses sites like Facebook and YouTube to tear our nation apart.  These companies must do more than take down one website. The survival of our democracy depends on it[1]

More recently, Nancy Pelosi opined that the prospect of Donald Trump being re-elected as president would be a “nightmare scenario” and that “our democracy” is “at stake” in the 2024 presidential election.[2]

This is an odd statement.  Pelosi is asking readers to believe that if Donald Trump is re-elected by the voters as president, that somehow this is a threat to “our democracy.”  It seems to this author that this would be the very definition of democracy: the people getting the elected officials whom they choose. 

What Pelosi seems to mean is that if Donald Trump is re-elected, the voters made the wrong choice.  While there’s nothing wrong with disagreeing with the result of an election, it’s silly to deem it a threat to “our democracy.”

“If you abandon Israel, God will never forgive you….”

  • Bill Clinton before the Israeli Knesset, October 27, 1994

In his essay “Who Really Owns the ‘Holy Land’?,”[1] Robert Reymond quoted President Bill Clinton’s words before the Israeli Knesset.  The full quote in his paper reads,

If you abandon Israel, God will never forgive you…it is God’s will that Israel, the Biblical home of the people of Israel, continue forever and ever…Your journey is our journey, and America will stand with you now and always.”

Now some may find such rhetoric surprising coming from Bill Clinton.  After all, isn’t Clinton a Democrat, and, as we are told, Democrats hate all things Israel? Isn’t rabid support for Israel a conservative Christian Republican thing?  Well, not so fast.  Yes, conservative Republicans certainly are big supporters of Israel, in particular, conservative Republican dispensationalist Christians.   But support for Israel crosses party lines.

The Religious Wars of the 21st Century, an Update: Part 2, Israel’s Palestinian Problem and Ours

Former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley speaks at a Christians United for Israel event on July 19, 2022

Agents of both Israel and Rome are active in the United States, both gathering intelligence and influencing policy. The U. S. government is manipulated by foreign interests. Both Israel and the Vatican see the United States as their proxy in this religious war.

  • John Robbins, “The Religious Wars of the 21st Century”

I’ve written extensively in the space about the Vatican’s manipulation of the government of the United States, in particular as it relates to immigration.  Israel and its manipulation of the American government, not so much. It’s always seemed like a daunting task to me.     

But the recent events surrounding what’s being called the Israel-Hamas War have served both to bring that manipulation to light and to make commenting on it all the more necessary. 

A recent opinion piece in The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) titled “The West Should Welcome Gaza Refugees: Europe and the U.S. accepted millions who fled earlier wars”[1] makes a good place to begin this examination.
