Christian Zionists Pastor John Hagee and U.S. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson pose in Washington D.C. at a Christians United for Israel conference, April 15, 2024.

“For those of us who are believers, it’s a Biblical admonition to stand with Israel.”

  • Mike Johnson, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives

Does the Bible admonish Christians to stand with Israel?  According to Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Mike Johnson, the answer is, yes.  And millions of American Evangelicals agree with him due to the Premillennial Dispensationalist eschatology popularized by the Scofield Bible and well-known dispensationalist preachers such as John Hagee, founder of Christians United for Israel (CUFI).

In a recent post on X, John Hagee said we are on the verge of the Gog Magog war” and expressed concern that the Democrats were urging Israel to “de-escalate” its war against Hamas.  He indicated that he would fly to DC and meet with lawmakers.  Apparently, Hagee got his way as he met with House Speaker Mike Johnson, who helped Congress rob the American people and send $26.3 billion more in tribute to Israel on top of the untold billions of dollars Americans have already sent to that nation and like will send in the future. 

Why do men such as Mike Johnson and John Hagee believe there’s a Biblical “admonition” to stand with Israel?  Usually, it starts with a quotation from Genesis 12, “I [God] will bless those who bless you [Abraham] and I will curse him who curses you.” For Christian Zionists such as Johnson and Hagee, this always means sending more American tax dollars to support Israel.  But it can also mean lending moral support to Israel to continue its aggressive and deadly policies such as the ongoing bombing of civilians in Gaza and urging Israel not to deescalate.  The tens of thousands of dead Gazan civilians are not enough to satisfy Hagee’s blood lust.  God requires more bombing.

Venezuelan TikToker Leonal Moreno went viral in March with a video urging illegal aliens to squat in abandoned American homes. Moreno was a little too on the nose with his remarks, even for the Biden Regime, and was arrested. But his arrest is far from the end of the squatter problem in the US.

NYC Homeowners Told They Will Be Arrested If They Turn Off Electricity, Water As Squatters Take Over.” This was a recent story on Townhall and it underscores once again how far America has fallen from the rule of law. 

In summary, the story talks about how squatters, many of them illegal aliens, are staying rent-free in properties while the owners are unable to evict them due to New York City laws.  The homeowners are forced to pay utilities while the squatters remain in the home.  When asked why he doesn’t evict the squatters, one homeowner said he’d be “arrested instantly.”

The American people are being destroyed with each such incident, yet there seems to be no relief in sight.  Our government has been weaponized against us and it looks as though nothing can be done.  Thankfully, it’s not that bad everywhere.  But how long until this evil finds its way to a neighborhood near you or me?

HAMILTON, Ohio (WKRC) – The man found dead on Monday died by homicide, according to Hamilton Police.Police responded to the 1100 block of S. 13th Street on Apri
— Read on www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/police-body-found-in-hamilton-was-a-homicide-and-theres-been-an-arrest/ar-BB1l19q8

I have a confession to make.  I’m a glass-half-empty guy.  I don’t recall any particular event that made me that way.  No crushing tragedy that I can point to or someone I can blame.  It seems that it’s my nature to be so.  But perhaps there’s something more to it than my own personality.

If you pressed me on why I tend to look on the dark side of things, maybe it has something to do with the zeitgeist, the spirit of the age.  I was born in the 1960s into a collapsing civilization, the collapse of which has only accelerated over the course of my life.  Civilizational collapse is not a pretty sight for anyone with a philosophical bent.  Of course, philosophical reflection is not a prerequisite to experiencing the impact of a civilizational collapse.  When the barbarians are scaling the walls and burning your city, even the least reflective man knows he’s in trouble. 

But barbarians scaling the walls and burning the city mark not the beginning of a civilization’s collapse but its end.  What marks the earlier stages of a collapse is the rejection of truth, the belief in the lie, and decisions based on the lie – things which at the time may have seemed righteous and good and progressive to many – but which eventually and necessarily lead to destruction.  “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” to quote Proverbs.

South Dakota Governor signs bill attacking the First Amendment.

Last week we looked at the foolish and dangerous law signed by South Dakota Kristi Noem that incorporates the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) “working definition of antisemitism” into state law. According to the IHRA’s definition, “claims that Jews kill[ed] Jesus” are considered antisemitic.

The problem with this is that the Word of God clearly and repeatedly teaches that the Jews did, in fact, kill Jesus Christ.  Stephen the deacon went even further in his description of the Jews who put him on trial.  He called the “betrayers” and “murderers” of Christ.  Any law that criminalizes, or, potentially criminalizes, teaching what the Word of God says is unjust, as it contradicts the Word of God.  Thus, there are good reasons for opposing South Dakota’s “model legislation,” which the Governor says will be replicated in states nationwide.

Now I doubt the South Dakota state police will be kicking down church doors next Sunday and dragging Christian ministers out of their pulpits for preaching from Acts 7:52. More likely, the South Dakota law will function similarly to a law recently passed in Georgia.  There, Governor Brian Kemp signed a bill in January of this year.  According to one of the supporters, “the definition will only come into play after someone has committed a crime.” [1] This is still objectionable, dangerous, unconstitutional, and unchristian as it criminalizes speech, if only indirectly, and is, in my opinion, designed to conceal the tyrannical intent behind such laws of attacking the First Amendment, if only indirectly.  But who’s to say charging Christian ministers for preaching the Word of God is not the end goal of those who promote legislation of this sort? Given the attacks on free speech throughout the West, preventing Christian pastors from honestly teaching about the role the Jews played in the murder of Christ may very well be the end goal of those who lobby for such legislation.

The moment when migrants break through the concertina wire and storm the border at El Paso, TX, 3/21/2024.

My Comments: Gotta hand it to Jesuit Joe. The man certainly knows how to destroy a nation. Or more accurately, his Jesuit handlers do. Dramatic video from earlier this week shows wanna-be illegal aliens storming through concertina wire in El Paso as national guardsmen try to hold the line.

This madness is 100% a treasonous, organized, and deliberate effort by the Biden Regime to take down America by flooding the country with foreigners whose expenses are paid for by the very American people they are brought here to subvert.

It is an evil plan. It is a diabolical plan. It is a plan with the fingerprints of Antichrist all over it.

So who is this Antichrist of whom I write? Just to be clear, Antichrist is not, as the postmillennialists believe, some figure from the distant past such as the Emporer Nero. Neither is he, as the Dispensationalists insist, some figure to come in the future. Antichrist is here and now and doing his work right in front of our noses. Antichrist is the office of the papacy. An office currently filled by a man named Jorge Bergoglio, doing business as Francis I. May the Lord grant his people eyes to see.

South Dakota Governor signs bill attacking the First Amendment.

“Because Christianity is neither Romanism nor Judaism nor Islam, there is no need for the United States, a historically, if not currently, Christian nation, to be involved in the religious wars of the twenty-first century.  But because of the influence of American citizens (and non-citizens) who are Jews, Catholics, and Dispensational Evangelicals, we are already involved.  In fact, because of our foreign policy of interventionism developed in the twentieth century, and because of our more recent policy of pre-emptive war, the United States has become the primary target of militant Muslims worldwide. And not of Muslims only. 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”[1] (emphasis mine).

Gov. Kristi Noem, a favorite of conservatives and a possible running mate for Donald Trump in 2024, recently signed a bill “requiring the consideration of the definition of antisemitism when investigating unfair or discriminatory practices.” 

The bill, titled “An Act to require the consideration of the definition of antisemitism when investigating unfair or discriminatory practices,” reads,

In reviewing, investigating, or deciding whether an alleged violation of this chapter
is antisemitic, the Division of Human Rights must consider the definition of antisemitism.
For the purposes of this chapter, the term “antisemitism” has the same meaning as the
working definition of antisemitism adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance
Alliance on May 26, 2016, including the contemporary examples of antisemitism identified therein.

Nothing in this section may be construed to diminish or infringe upon any protected
right under U.S. Const., amend. I or S.D. Const., Art. VI, § 5, or to conflict with any
federal, state, or local discrimination law.

Pay special attention to the second paragraph. It notes, “Nothing in the section may be construed to diminish or infringe upon any protected right under U.S. Const., amend I….” This is typical of the double-speak of our time where it is almost a sure-fire guarantee that any statement by a politician, academic, or journalist almost certainly means the exact opposite of what it claims to mean.  This bill is surely an attack on the First Amendment to insulate Jews and Israel from criticism.

Perhaps the stupidest euphemism ever, but certainly the stupidest one I’ve heard for the illegal alien invaders pouring into our nation due to the Vatican’s immigration theory put into practice by the Biden Regime is “newcomer.” Not only is it stupid; it’s evil to boot. For it represents an attempt by treasonous politicians serving a treasonous agenda to cover up their treasonous immigration policies by whitewashing their fraudulent activity and painting it as though it’s some sort of civic blessing.

“Your land, strangers devour it in your presence.” Those were Isaiah’s words to a deeply corrupt and sinful Judah. But American politicians are no Isaiahs. They’re much more like the false prophets in Jeremiah’s day who proclaimed “peace, peace” when there was no peace.

Mike Johnson, Denver’s treason mayor is among those on the cutting edge of euphemistic stupidity and evil as his city is promoting the “newcomer” nonsense.

Not only does he promote the absurd “newcomer” lingo to describe criminal illegal alien invaders, but he also has the gall to ask citizens to donate to the cause as if he’s passing the plate on a Sunday morning church service. He even gives them the “opportunity” to volunteer their time. “Come one. Come all. Ruin your city, state, and nation.” That’s what the government of Denver is saying.

What kind of utter madness has America descended into?

Rome controls the immigration media narrative.  If you doubt this, consider the press coverage of the lawsuit brought by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton against Annunciation House.

The story, if you’re not familiar with it, is that Ken Paxton’s office announced on 2/202/2024 that he was suing Annunciation House, an El Paso-based NGO “after discovering Potential efforts to facilitate illegal immigration.”  You can read the press release here

According to Paxton, there is significant public record information strongly suggesting Annunciation House is engaged in legal violations such as facilitating illegal entry to the United States, alien harboring, human smuggling, and operating a stash house.” Paxton’s aim is to revoke Annunciation House’s registration to operate in Texas. 

Predictably, the Roman Catholic propaganda machine immediately kicked it into high gear, with nearly every article posted on Paxton’s lawsuit portraying this a David and Goliath struggle, with Paxton in the Goliath role and Annunciation House as the poor little put upon David. 

Here’s a sample of the media headlines from the past two weeks to show you what I mean:

“Ken Paxton’s Annunciation House investigation is the latest attack on religious organizations aiding migrants at the border” – Texas Tribune, 2/24/2024

“Flowers: Texas off base to go after Annunciation House efforts” – Delco Times 3/1/2024

“Opinion: An attack on Annunciation House is an attack on Texas” – El Paso Matters, 3/1/2024

“Editorial: Annunciation House’s charitable acts for immigrants are not crimes” – San Antonio Express News, 2/27/2024

“Texas attorney general sets off religious liberty alarms by attacking a Catholic charity in El Paso” – Baptist News Global, 2/23/2024

“El Paso’s Saint Of The Border Negotiates A New Reality” – New Yorker, 2/23/2024

“Catholic immigrant shelter battles Texas AG, who wants to shut it down” – NBC News, 2/21/2024

Many more such headlines can be found, but I think you get the point.  There is a massive media campaign to paint the Annunciation House as the innocent victim of a rogue Attorney General.  Note well, these are, for the most part, secular sources.  I avoided headlines from openly Roman Catholic sources intentionally, although there are plenty of those as well. 

Worth noting is the headline from Baptist News Global.  I don’t know much about this organization.  A quick perusal of its website suggests that it’s a liberal Baptist group.  That it would come out in defense of Antichrist’s treasonous immigration policies is not all that much of a surprise, as many Evangelical and Protestant organizations, even putatively conservative ones such as the Southern Baptist Convention, have echoed Rome’s immigration philosophy of mass welfare migration.   

Worth asking is this question, Is it an accident that Rome’s profoundly destructive immigration theory and practice receive such favorable coverage in the new media?  The answer is no, it is not.  Rome controls the immigration narrative presented to the public in the media.

By “narrative,” I mean the context in which the news stories are set, the way events are explained.  Take the headline above, “Editorial: Annunciation House’s charitable acts for immigrants are not crimes.”  Calling the millions – some say up to 10 million – people who have poured across our southern border “immigrants” is simply dishonest.  This is an invasion, not an immigration, and I’m fairly certain that the editorial writers at the San Antonio Express News know that full well.

A book published in the 1980s titled American Democracy & The Vatican: Population Growth & National Security provides some interesting insights as to how Rome goes about controlling the media narrative.  The short answer is that they attack “offending” newspaper’s advertisers. 

Father Mullaly concluded this revealing document with a platform of action for punishing critical American newspapers:

1. Do not attack a magazine or newspaper through its editorial department but act through its business office.

2. When a magazine or newspaper is attacking your religion, write to the business manager and inform him that you will not buy the offending periodical again, and mean it.

3. Call the attention of the merchants with whom you deal to the insults and tell them that as long as they advertize in any offending paper you will not buy their goods, and mean it.

4. Tell your news-dealer that as long as you see the magazine or newspaper on his stand as an open insult to you, you will not buy from him, and mean it.[1]

Note that Mullaly’s first rule is not to argue against the publication’s editorial department.  That is, Mullaly is not interested in debating ideas.  He wants to shut down debate by silencing the opposition. 

A survey of American press coverage on the faceoff between Ken Paxton and Annunciation House suggests that Mullaly’s approach to censorship via threat has been highly effective.
