Talking about “our democracy” has become a big thing in recent years. Hardly a day goes by, or so it seems, that I don’t hear some politician or another spouting off about “our democracy,” usually in the context that we’re about it lose it if such and such a thing is allowed to happen.
Such and such a thing very often turns out to be the prospect of the reelection of Donald Trump, which Pelosi described as “a nightmare scenario” in the article quoted above.

Last week saw Donald Trump booked in the Fulton Country, GA jail along with 18 other individuals who are charged with what amounts to exercising their right to question the 2020 election results in the State of Georgia.
Whatever you may think of Donald Trump or the 2020 election, the fact that a former president can be charged with racketeering for questioning the official narrative that the “election was the most secure in American history” ought to be cause for alarm. And it’s not just Donald Trump either. Eighteen other individuals have been indicted in this case, including lawyers who assisted Trump, most notably Rudy Giuliani, former Mayor of New York.
The Biden Regime, the Establishment, is sending the message to any future president or presidential candidate, don’t you dare even consider representing anyone but us. If you try to represent the people, you are history.

“Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.”
That famous saying, attributed to the head of Joseph Stalin’s secret police, Lavrentiy Beria, is the best summary there is of the term “weaponized law.” It is also now the unofficial slogan of the Biden Regime’s Department of Justice (sic) and of the American legal system more broadly.
In a proper, Christian legal system, you start with the evidence of a crime, investigate the matter to determine the suspect, and bring charges against that person. That’s the way America’s legal system worked, or at least was understood to work, for most of the nation’s history.
But in just the last few years, it is obvious that things have changed. Instead of beginning with evidence of a crime and working to determine who committed it, American “justice” now begins with the man and goes looking for crimes with which to charge him.

And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.
Deuteronomy 28:62
In a recent speech, Vice President Kamala Harris raised a few eyebrows when she said, “When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water.”
Wait, what? The Vice President wants to “reduce population” in the US? Well, no. At least according to the White House, who updated the transcript of Harris’s speech, substituting the word “pollution” for “population.”
Now we can all misspeak from time to time and not say what we intend to say. Maybe Harris really did mean to say “pollution” and not “population.” But here’s the thing, I don’t know that this is the case. Part of the problem is the neo-Malthusianism of the globalists, of which Kamala Harris is a prominent representative. These people have who have openly talked about the “problem” of overpopulation now for over fifty years. And given the open hostility and hatred the Biden Regime has shown to the American people – and I mean here, particularly white, conservative, Christian Americans – from its inception, it’s disturbing to hear such language coming from the mouth of a high government official.
And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.
I bring this up because Edward’s view of Scotland, at least as depicted in the movie, seems to have been adopted by every government, every university, and every institution of any power in the Western world.
Except for Viktor Orban in Hungary, I cannot think of a single head of state in the West that is not openly working for the destruction of his own people. It’s an amazing phenomenon to behold and one that demands an explanation.
In Canada, Justin Trudeau is at war with the Canadian people. The trouble with Canada is that it’s full of Canadians. The current occupant of the White House (I do not call him president) has openly and repeatedly expressed his disdain for a large swath of the American people. The trouble with America, in Jesuit Joe’s opinion, is that it’s full of Americans. The seed was sown for recent Islamic riots in France by the French government’s policy of importing millions of Muslims into the country over the past several decades, such that Muslims now make up about 10% of the French population. In Great Britain, the government’s decades-old immigration policy has reduced London’s white British population to minority status, while the government shows no interest in stopping the illegal alien invasion coming across the English Channel. In the Netherlands, Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s government has attempted to destroy the nation’s farmers under the guise of fighting climate change. There are reports that Rutte’s government intended to take 3,000 farms and use the land to house migrant invaders. And speaking of Scotland, the new Scottish First Minister is a Muslim named Humza Yousaf. Imagine that. A Muslim ruling in the land of John Knox. Apparently, Scotland is no longer as full of Scots as it was in Edward’s day.
I could go on, but the pattern is clear. Western governments have abandoned the idea that they are the servants of the people and are instead attempting to destroy their own people.
Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.
Leviticus 25:10
As we approach the 247th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, I’m moved once again to consider what a precious and rare commodity liberty is.
Throughout the course of human history, most people have lived under some form of lawless tyranny. Whether it was the pharaohs and kings of the ancient near east, the Caesars of Rome, the medieval popes, or the fascist and communist dictators of more recent times, the lot of most men in most places at most times is to have their rulers “lord it over them” as Jesus put it.
Given the long history of tyranny experienced by the human race, it’s worth asking why it is that we in the West have experienced such a long and blessed period of liberty. Growing up, I was taught that our constitutional republic was the product of the Enlightenment. It wasn’t until I was long out of school that I learned that the liberty that we historically have enjoyed as Americans was not the product of secular thought, but of the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century.

“The Bible is for the Government of the People, by the People, and for the People.”
John Wycliffe
Americans are familiar with the closing words of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, “that the government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
What many Americans don’t know is that these words are not Lincoln’s own, but he was quoting John Wycliffe from the prologue of his English translation of the Bible.
Wycliffe, often called the Morningstar of the Reformation, lived and wrote at a time when the Roman Catholic Church and the nobility allied with Rome considered it subversive to translate the Scriptures into the common language of the people. Rome and its royalist supporters believed in a government of the elite, by the elite, and for the elite and ruthlessly enforced this teaching. One of the ways of enforcing their tyranny was to keep the people ignorant of the Bible, feeding them instead on a diet of doctrinal fables dispensed by the Church of Rome.
But keeping up the ruse took a lot of effort. Access to the Word of God had to be forbidden. For if people learned what the Bible actually taught and compared it to what Rome said the Bible taught, Rome’s lies would be exposed and her government of the elite, by the elite, and for the elite would be in danger of overthrow.
Joe Biden blames you for the raft of gun violence in America and not his own destructive policies.
Jesuit Joe was up to his old tricks late last week, this time proclaiming his love for “commonsense gun reform.”
So what does Joe consider “commonsense” (sic) gun reform? He tells us.
Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines
Strengthen background checks
Enact safe storage laws and red flag laws
Repeal the immunity that protects gun manufacturers from liability
Address the mental health crisis deepened by the trauma of gun violence
It’s tempting to ask Joe how he knows these things are “commonsense,” but I doubt he’d be able to give a coherent reason. At any rate, let’s do a quick run-through of his proposals.
Ban Assault Weapons
What is an assault weapon? Joe doesn’t tell us and neither do the other gun banners. I say gun banners because that is what they want to do: legally bar Americans from owning firearms. Don’t think for a minute that this is just about “assault weapons,” whatever those are, and not about the Second Amendment more broadly.
They’re coming for your handguns, your shotguns, and your 22 rifles as well.
Same with the term “high-capacity magazine.” What does Biden consider a high-capacity magazine? I guess we’ll find out. My guess is that ultimately, Biden would consider anything greater than zero to be a high-capacity magazine.

It’s truly surprising how much Western governments hate their own people.
It sounds strange to say it. But it’s true almost without exception.
The Canadian government hates Canadians. The British government hates the British. Just as Germany’s government holds its own people in contempt. France likewise.
America is no exception to this rule. The Democrats have expressed their hatred of the American people and in particular the historic core population of this nation, white Protestants, for as long as I can remember. But it’s not just Democrats. Much of the conservative and Republican establishment couldn’t wait to denounce their own voters during the George Floyd riots in the summer of 2020.
From my observation, Hungary’s Calvinist Prime Minister Viktor Orban is the only exception to this rule. As he wrote in a tweet in March of this year, “We respect and help the Ukrainians. There is one thing we won’t do: to put their interests ahead of ours. As Prime Minister of Hungary, I am responsible for the Hungarian nation. Therefore we will always put Hungary first! This is my moral compass.”
If only America had a government that defended the interests of Americans the same way! Instead, we have a government that actively hates the historic core population of America. Stolen elections have consequences. Having a government that hates and fears its own people is one of those consequences.
Indeed, we have Joe Biden who clearly hates a significant part, perhaps even a majority, of the American people. In this regard, he’s merely picking up where Barak Obama, who spoke of small-town Americans bitterly clinging to their guns and religion, and Hillary Clinton, of the notorious “basket of deplorables” comment, left off.
“Looks Like He Made it While Waiting for a Table at the Cracker Barrel.” That was Jimmy Kimmel’s arrogant comment about Tucker Carlson’s video from which this image was taken.
Defenestration. It’s an interesting word. One that gets your attention.
Literally, it means the act of throwing someone out of a window – for a Biblical example, think of Queen Jezebel. A more recent example is known in history as the Second Defenestration of Prague which took place in 1618 and is cited as a spark that set off the Thirty Years’ War.
When used today, defenestration is commonly meant in a figurative sense. That is the sudden or violent removal of someone from his position. And it is in the metaphorical sense that I use the term in this instance.
I confess I found Carlson’s work to be a breath of fresh air compared to the normal diet of talking points from network new programs. He was, in my opinion, the only mainstream TV personality that was worth watching. Any number of times I found myself watching his show in amazement at what he was talking about. Not, mind you, that I was amazed at the content so much as I was that someone on a major network was actually saying it.
On any given night, you could hear Carlson talking about replacement migration, the plight of men in modern America, opposing the war in Ukraine, defending the January 6th “insurrectionists,” criticizing the Federal Reserve’s practice of money printing, raising questions about the “most secure election in American history,” questioning the COVID cult including its most sacred mRNA gene therapy “vaccine” sacrament, skewering Critical Race Theory, and lambasting the LGBTQ agenda. At this best, watching Carlson was like watching an independent YouTuber or reading a blog. It was as close to an anti-corporate, anti-mainstream journalistic experience as I have seen in corporate-controlled media.
For my part, I think there are two closely related reasons for his removal. First, Carlson had the audacity to speak up for ordinary, white Americans and defend them from elites out to do them harm. Second, this is part of the establishment plan to rig the 2024 presidential election for Joe Biden or whomever they plan to install in the White House next year.
