Introduction by Dr. Lively, July 8, 2023:

On February 2, 2009, I published an article in Accuracy in Media titled The Nazi Model for “Gays” in the Military. Shortly thereafter I revised it and retitled it to serve as appeal to US Senators considering the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” I released an advance copy to my supporters seeking funding to do a personal outreach to Congress. My note to supporters and the final draft of the revised article are published below.

Among the offices I visited on the day of my outreach was that of my home state Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown, who had been elected to replace recently deceased Ted Kennedy on a strong pro-family platform. I was told by his staff that he had proudly voted not to allow the repeal bill out of committee. But that vote failed, and by the time the full floor vote came up, the “gays” had fairly obviously blackmailed Brown into not just flipping, but holding a special photo-op signing session with the leading “gay” activists of Massachusetts arrayed behind him. Disgraced by this outrageous betrayal, his formerly promising political career crashed and burned and he never won another general election. Brown shares considerable culpability for what has since transpired in our military.

My Note to Supporters

Dear Pro-Family Patriots,

The worst idea in a long string of bad ideas by the Obama administration is the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. I am personally going all-out to try to stop the repeal. I am looking for sponsors to fund a book distribution of copies of The Pink Swastika to every member of the U.S. Senate. To help, make a donation at http://www.defendthefamily.com/help/donate.php. We’re asking for donations of $25 or more to help cover the cost of books and travel.

I will personally hand-deliver copies of the book, and the essay below to each Senate office sometime within the next 10 days so please act quickly. If you are within driving distance of D.C. and would like to join me for a day of lobbying, please e-mail me at sdllaw@gmail.com. Please also distribute this message to your pro-family lists.

May God Save America, Scott Lively, J.D., Th.D.

DON’T REPEAL “DON’T ASK, DON’T TELL”

Repealing the ban on open homosexuals serving in the U.S. military would be a mistake of historic proportions.

First, there would certainly be a mass exodus of normal men from a homosexualized military, leading to the reinstatement of compulsory service. The entire premise of a military system based on voluntary service is that young men will want to serve. But will normal men want to volunteer when they know they will share close quarters with other men for whom they will be objects of sexual interest? It is a recipe for deep and widespread moral and morale problems.

Then there’s the likelihood of physical conflict among the troops. Will proud young men being honed to become weapons of aggression against America’s enemies tolerate being ogled in the showers or touched inappropriately or bunking near sexually-active “gays“? Undoubtedly blood will spill over such (inevitable) indignities.

But what will be the political consequence? Once homosexuals are invited to serve, the authorities will be committed to integrate them into the ranks, which means “sensitivity” training, anti-discrimination policies, and all of the other “politically correct” nonsense that has been such a disaster in the other spheres of our society. These policies have smacked of pro-“gay” fascism in the civilian world; how much worse would it be in the rigidly-controlled environment of the military?

A sizable percentage of men would not willingly subject themselves to such an environment. So, ironically, reinstatement of the draft would be made necessary by “homophobia,” and for that reason the anti-war Lefties would suddenly become defenders of compulsory service.

Of course, no amount of “sensitivity training” will change the fundamental nature of young men and so it is likely that some form of segregated service would eventually be proposed. (We’ve seen this trend begin to arise in public education, where all-“gay” schools are the latest development.) This would be the biggest mistake of all, raising the specter (over time) of a homosexual takeover of the military branches.

Most people don’t realize that male homosexuality does not always lean to the effeminate. Historically, male homosexuality was much more often associated with hyper-masculine warrior societies which were usually very brutal and very politically aggressive. The most recent example was in Germany. Hitler’s initial power base when he launched the Nazi Party was a private homosexual military force organized and trained by a notorious pederast named Gerhard Rossbach. Rossbach’s homosexual partner Ernst Roehm, who was also Hitler’s partner in forming and building the Nazi Party, converted the “gay” Rossbachbund into the dreaded SA Brownshirts.

“Many of the [S.A.‘s] top leaders, beginning with its chief, [Ernst] Roehm, were notorious homosexual perverts,” wrote the preeminent historian of the Nazi era, William Shirer in The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

In The Homosexual Matrix, C.A. Tripp writes that “[f]ar to the other extreme [opposite of effeminate “gays“], there are a number of utterly masculine, sometimes super masculine homosexuals. They are obsessed with everything male and eschew anything weak or effeminate. Unquestionably they represent the epitome of what can happen when an eroticized maleness gains the full backing of a value system that supports it.”

Masculine-oriented male homosexuality tends also to be pederastic in nature, meaning that it often involves relationships between adult men and teenage boys. The ancient Spartan army, for example, drafted young teen boys and paired them with adult homosexual soldiers. Brownshirt leaders in Germany recruited boys from the local high schools for sex. Roehm himself once briefly fled Germany for South America over a scandal involving a young male prostitute. This bodes ill for the young men who will be our future draftees.

The scenario I see unfolding if we allow homosexuals to serve openly in the military is an initial period of turmoil in which members of the services would attempt to show their opposition through the limited means available to them. This would result in a clamp-down by military authorities in an effort to force acceptance, accompanied by a sensitivity-training regimen. One or more incidents of violence against homosexuals, real or staged by the “gays” themselves, would ensure prioritization of the politically-correct policies, and justify pro-homosexual “affirmative action.”

Next would come a severe drop in enlistments and re-enlistments, triggering the reinstatement of the draft. This would in turn begin a degeneration of the moral and ethical culture of the services as those with the highest personal values would be most likely to leave, being replaced, in many cases, by men whose motivation is to share a male-dominated environment with others of similar sexual proclivities.

Whether or not a segregated service was initiated, a homosexual subculture of servicemen would form, characterized by intense internal loyalty and political ambition. Eventually, this “army within an army,” buoyed by pro-homosexual “affirmative action,” and the ability to act covertly (due to the fact that some would remain “closeted“) would come to dominate the services. What would they do with such power? The historical precedents are uniformly bad.

Lastly, and perhaps most serious is the loss of our moral authority around the world, especially in the Moslem countries. Until now, we have relied upon the partnership of moderate Moslems in our campaign to marginalize the extremists who already call us The Great Satan for our moral ambiguities. Yet how quickly will we lose the popular support of these people and governments when they know that the soldiers we are sending for “nation-building” on Moslem soil are overt, practicing homosexuals? We are handing the extremists an entirely new and powerful recruiting tool, and undermining the goodwill of every socially conservative nation on the planet, culminating in a net increase of danger for our troops and decrease of respect for our way of life.

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was an enlightened compromise when it was first conceived, and has proved to be a successful policy for our military. If anything, we should be expanding Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell into civilian life, rather than imposing the sexual libertinism of our corrupt civilian culture on the military. If, God forbid, we take that radical step, the consequences of its repeal will be severe.

For years I have been in correspondence with an American ex-pat who shares my respect for Russia and Putin. I have appreciated this man for introducing me to information sources outside of the US/UK media bubble. By having learned about and regularly monitored these sources, I believe I am one of the better informed Americans on the Russian perspectives of the issues.

Unfortunately, this man has become increasingly hostile to Israel over this same period, and particularly scornful toward “Christian Zionists.” I’ve given up trying to reason with him on the matter because he’s become ideologically entrenched. Essentially, while I remain simply a truth-seeker anchored by a mature biblical worldview, he has become a “team player” for the Russian Federation which has responded to NATO aggression/sanctions by building alliances with the Islamic nations and Communist China. Its new worldview is thus laced with coalition-affirming arguments from Islamic and Communist perspectives in the same way US propaganda has traditionally included pro-Saudi themes for the same reason (even after 9/11).

Russia’s “marriage-of-convenience” geopolitical partnerships are ultimately incompatible with the Russian Orthodox theology at the core of post-Soviet Russia and will eventually produce schisms, but in the meantime the nascent anti-Semitic inclinations of Orthodox believers (rooted in the doctrine of supersessionism – or “replacement theology” – which it shares with Roman Catholicism and some Protestant denominations) has been rekindled by close relations with the Muslims. That has manifested in a strong and growing anti-Zionist sentiment among both Russian nationalists and Orthodox Christians (even here at home). It is made much worse by blatant anti-Torah perspectives and policies of the Israeli government, symbolically represented recently by its outrageous equation of hostility toward the morally reprobate George Soros with anti-Semitism.

More to the point, all authentic Christians and Torah-faithful Jews abhor the leftist Jews’ embrace and often sponsorship of the LGBT cult driving the larger leftist agenda globally, but the opposing “anti-Zionism” cult fails to distinguish and defend authentic Jews as a priority in their analysis and rhetoric — raising the distinction (if at all) only as a point of self-defense when accused of anti-Semitism.

Meanwhile, two dangerous new developments affecting Israel have arisen on the world stage.

The first is the de-fragmentation of the Islamic world through the strategic maneuvers of Russia and China, breaking the barriers erected between Islamic factions by the British after WWI to prevent the resurgence of the Ottoman Empire (the last actual Caliphate). The Brits intentionally separated the Turk’s former empire into nation-states and fostered rivalries between them to prevent reunification: an age-old Imperial tactic which the Assyrians mastered in the ancient world and which the British modernized during their own long dominance of the world. After WWII the US took up the mantle and the strategy. And, of course, the Jews have always had a (biblically grounded) hand in this going all the way back to the Hebraic Movement in Christianity of the 16th and 17th Centuries in England (and Holland), evidenced by the world-changing (but now largely debunked) doctrine of British-Israelism that persisted from the early 1600s until just after WWI.

The second development is the recent, unprecedented ascension of Orthodox Jewish nationalists to power in Israel, triggering a low-level civil war with the fully secular and semi-secularized religious Jews who have ruled the modern Jewish state since it’s formation in 1948. These Ultra-Orthodox Israelis are the true “Zionists” as measured by the claims and aims of the formal establishment of the Zionist Movement in 1897. But not by the two house (British Israel) version of Zionism that had already been repatriating Jews to Israel since the early 1800s under the auspices of the Anglican Church.

The distinction between the two forms of Zionism holds the key to understanding both where these two new geopolitical developments place us in prophecy, and how remnant Christians can maneuver through the theological and political minefields that now exist. In short, the British Israel version of Zionism is grounded in the two house prophecy of the Bible in which the House of Judah (the Jews) and the House of Israel (Christianity) will be reconciled in the Holy Land during the Millennial Kingdom when Jesus Christ will physically rule the world from the Throne of David in Jerusalem. (My book The Prodigal Son Prophecy extensively explores this theme , but you can read a summary of it here.)

The later, now dominant form of Zionism is a Jewish political movement that ignores the long history of Jewish and Christian cooperation to reclaim the the Holy Land and asserts an exclusively Jewish claim to the territory. Importantly, however, this “selfishness” by the House of Judah is an essential part of end-time prophecy, according to Jesus in His Olivet Discourse of Matthew 24-25 (especially 24:32-34). He taught that the season of the end begins with budding of the “fig tree” (deeply symbolic of only Judah, see especially Jeremiah 24). It concludes with the fulfillment of Jacob’s prophecy over Judah from Genesis 49:8-12: “Judah…Your hand shall be on the necks of your enemies…The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes and the allegiance of the nations is his….He washes his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.”

Thus, modern Judah WILL hold power in the Holy Land “until Shiloh comes.” Shiloh (ancient capital of the House of Israel) is symbolic of Christ. “The allegiance of the nations” will be His only upon His second coming when “He washes his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes” as described in detail in Revelation 19:13-15 “He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is The Word of God….He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.” (Read all of Revelation 19 for clarity.)

Do the Jews have an outsized influence in the world? Of course they do, by God’s own design — which is not to say that influence is always benign. Indeed, in the last days it is the (Soros-like) Synagogue of Satan that brings in the Antichrist Kingdom: right before our eyes, while the remnant of true Yahweh worshipers, Christians and Jews (the two witnesses), suffer the wrath of the world, which drives them together on the very cusp of the transition from the Age of the Gentiles to the Millennial Kingdom. Christians WILL be welcomed back to Israel by the true Jews at that time, which gets closer every day.

Until then, which Zionism is actually Christian? BOTH! If you trust God’s plan. But between then and now God’s Holy Land (and all who support the House of Judah’s covenantal right to it) will suffer the severe consequences of rule by the wicked whose top leadership is even today orchestrating WWIII and all the Soros “sorrows” that brings.

I haven’t seen anyone else offer this opinion, but I believe the flood of illegal immigrants who have been coming over our southern border for the past decade – mostly military-age young men — may actually be intended to serve as cannon-fodder for the now-admitted American-run Ukraine war of attrition against Russia. Their status as non-citizens of the US would allow them to become foreign mercenaries to Ukraine identified only by their country of origin, theoretically preserving the ability of our corrupt elites to plausibly deny that their actions constitute direct US war with Russia (triggering all the serious complications of constitutional and international law that would entail).

These young men would be recruited/conscripted in the US, perhaps (carrot and stick fashion) in conjunction with the threat of deportation/prosecution, then trained and equipped in the US or Europe alongside native Ukrainian soldiers, but paid by US tax-money laundered through the Ukrainian government in the form of wages. Conversely, we might openly declare war and institute a draft to do pretty much the same thing. (Interestingly, even illegals are legally required to register with Selective Service. )

Is this a plausible theory? The corrupt elites whose minions rule us from their deep-state bunkers in the Defense and State departments of our government love fighting wars with proxy armies. They learned a hard lesson during the Vietnam War that Americans would no longer tolerate forever wars in which large numbers of their own children died for ideological pretexts masking mega-corporate geopolitical strategies. So proxy-wars became necessary to keep the military-industrial complex humming and Anglo-American global hegemony intact.

Importantly, these elites are not short-term thinkers but plan decades, even centuries ahead. I’m not talking about the figureheads who change from election to election or their deep state handlers but the old, old money family dynasties who feature so prominently in populist conspiracy theories/realities but are never actually seen. We don’t see them but we know they’re there, like the invisible electricity that powers our consumer appliances. They’re real people with real power and a real agenda that proceeds without regard for what the common people think they want.

“Think they want?” The “tide of history” shows that the commoners are as malleable as play-dough in their hands when the time-line for shaping the public’s “wants” spans generations. They know their systems for social engineering work and they are very patient. They didn’t push for transgender self-determination in the 1950s because they knew their strategy for LGBT cultural supremacy would require slow incremental change — focused on the children – while at the same time placating the older generations by allowing them to achieve a continual series of temporary, ultimately meaningless, partial victories. It works the same on all issues.

In other words, effective long-term social engineering always follows the Marxist dialectic: thesis, antithesis, synthesis: two steps forward (to set the path), one step back (to placate the conservatives), a short pause to consolidate (synthesize) the new “status quo,” then repeat for a net gain of one step “forward” each cycle. That’s how the elites manufacture their metaphorical “tide of history” and make it look like spontaneous organic change to those observing it subjectively in real time.

That’s the beauty of truly long-term planning in societies of short term thinkers. The elites knew, for example, even during the Eisenhower administration that world war with the Russian Empire would be inevitable. But they also knew that the passion of many in the victorious WWII generation (including General MacArthur) for pressing on immediately to defeat Communism was foolishness and that immediate war against the Soviet Union on the Asian front would be disastrous. From their elite perch above the geo-political narratives (which even before the “Cronkite Era” they spoon-fed the common people through their controlled media) they had watched a woefully under-prepared Russia decimate the unprecedentedly formidable Nazi war machine in 1941 and 42 while learning from it’s mistakes and then transforming itself into a Soviet military superpower by 1945.

Instead they began a long-term delay and containment strategy, knowing that the creation of the New York City-based United Nations in 1945 and their already existing control of global banking and oil production, would allow them to steer world affairs while they built the NATO alliance and, slowly, over a period of decades, tightened it like a noose around the Russian Empire. The official North Atlantic Treaty was signed in 1949 signaling a formal break-up of the Allied coalition of WWII and the start of a cold war with the Soviet Union. NATO was militarized in 1951, and through it the Anglo-American partnership established global hegemony and set its sights on creating a single global government (whose visible roots actually go back to the Woodrow Wilson administration and his post-WWI League of Nations in 1920 – revealing, again, that these are very long-term planners). The takedown of the Soviet Union in 1991 sped the process.

Now, I do not believe that the nations of the world would live in harmony if not for (currently wicked) Anglo-American dominance, as those who support the rising Russian-orchestrated “multi-polar” world order now contend. And if the benign British and American values of the Christian era still prevailed, I would still be among the world’s strongest defenders of the “melting pot” version of the American dream as a global template. But power always corrupts and idealism always succumbs to the rationalizations of the power-hungry, which is why every form of government in world history including our beloved America has failed to honor God’s intentions for civilization, and why His final solution is His soon-coming Millennial Kingdom of Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMaschiah).

The Russian Federation, with its hopeful championship of pro-family normalcy and rightness of cause in defending its legitimate national interests in the face of relentless NATO aggression, will not be the salvation of the world but only play it’s role as global scapegoat in the looming great collapse and great reset. The current, unsustainable partnership of Orthodox Russia with Islamic nations and Communist China would inevitably devolve into conflict, even if it survived WWIII intact, which it won’t and neither will we. The Antichrist kingdom will be the temporary victor pending Christ’s second coming, and all the world will suffer that evil rule together.

But between now and then there is (if Bible literalism trumps comforting pre-trib rapture theories), some heavy tribulation to survive per the chronology revealed to us by Jesus in Matthew 24-25. And our job as believers preparing for His return is to read the signs of the season to gauge as best we can where we presently stand in the prophetic time-line.

I first advanced my open border theory a few months ago that the young men being lured to criminally trespass across our border by the millions were destined to be conscripts for war. Since then even big-city Democrats have begun pushing back against the flood because it has reached their jurisdictions. And yet, the elites are doubling down and drawing even more illegals into the net, while at the same time they are using high-profile transgender stunts to intentionally drive American men away from military service and create a perceived need for a return of the draft. I think both those things strengthen my case. Time will tell if I’m right.

by Dr. Scott Lively (Offered with a slight overtone of sarcasm)

The reparations movement may seem like nothing more than the mother of all shake-down operations in the tradition of the BLM riot-backed corporate extortion scheme of 2020 (raking in $83 billion), but many modern Democrats (of the rank and file) do genuinely seem wracked by guilt over black slavery, and rightly so, since their predecessors in the party were its chief orchestrators and defenders. So, to the extent that it IS motivated by genuine repentance, it is understandable — even laudable — that paying reparations for slavery is now high on their political agenda. However, in typical Democrat fashion, they want somebody else to pony up the money: specifically the American taxpayers — instead of paying for their own mistakes, which suggests they aren’t sincere at all.

But just for the sake of argument, lets assume they’re ready to repent and just need a little reminder about what reparations really are and who should pay them.

High on the list of those who should not pay them are Republicans. The Republican Party was created in large part to end slavery, and after the Civil War finally did end what Christian abolitionists had been trying to ban since the days of John and John Quincy Adams, the first two dozen or so black legislators in America were Republicans. While not every 19th Century Republican was an abolitionist (they had their RINOs too), the unquestionable political home of the slavery abolitionist movement was the Republican Party – much like it is the home of the abortion abolitionist movement today. So when Republicans express sympathy for the historic plight of black slaves they are aligning with their own ideological heritage. When Democrats do so it represents at best a mea culpa recanting of their heritage and at worst mere diversionary virtue signaling and cynical blame-shifting.

The City of San Francisco, California is leading the way on creating a blame-shifting model for taxpayer funded reparations. In the case of San Fran itself, the model isn’t completely off base since most of its taxpayers are Democrats who – collectively – should (arguably) be paying whatever reparations are deemed appropriate. But if their model were imposed on the whole nation it would unfairly punish a majority of citizens – including especially the heirs of abolitionist Republicans – who are not at all culpable even by the most liberal reading of the facts of American history. And even in San Francisco there are many taxpayers who should NOT be required to pay restitution under its false theory of vicarious collective guilt.

So how can we as a nation maneuver through the reparations minefield to a just and equitable solution on an issue that is certainly not going away because it is paying huge political dividends to the very culprits doing the blame-shifting?

First, let’s not over-react to the issue itself as if it has no merit. Generally speaking, “reparations” is a common factor in judicial proceedings, going to the questions of justice and restitution for wrongs done. It is addressed in myriad contexts every day in courts of law and equity. Whatever was stolen from someone must be restored by the thief, and those who have done harm to others have a duty to make them whole to the extent possible. That is the most foundational principle in Torts (private harms adjudicated in civil lawsuits) and Crimes (harms that injure not just the specific victims but society as a whole). It is the role of government to administer courts to ensure justice is done.

That said, on the question of reparations for black slavery prior to the 13th Amendment, I would argue that at least some reparations have already been paid, starting with the Union dispensation of “40 acres and a mule” to former slaves in the south, and through many other guilt-based social policies that have shown special favor to blacks for past wrongs done, including “Affirmative Action.” Frankly, I think those reparations may not have been adequate compensation in many cases and some things that might seem to fall in the category of “reparations” have in fact done more harm than good — in large part because of corrupt motives of the key architects of the “entitlement” system that spawned them: the worst of these bad actors being Lyndon Baines Johnson who used the theme of “social justice“ to create an entirely new system of inner-city black enslavement… to the Democrat Party. In fact, I believe the harm done to black families and inner city communities by modern Democrats is in some ways worse than the original form of enslavement.

Critically, notwithstanding the relentless grievance-mongering propaganda of the hard left, reparations is NOT a black vs white issue, but an “actual victim” vs “actual perpetrator” matter. The simple truth which kills that malicious narrative is that neither blacks nor whites are victims or perps based on the color of their skin, but on their actual provable conduct/experiences (for example, some slaves were white and some slave-holders were black). Neither is any person guilty of the sins of their parents or ancestors.

Now, if the original slave-holders were enriched by the (often decades-long) theft of the labor of others, and those riches lie at the foundation of an unbroken stream of accumulated wealth held by their modern descendants, the actual descendants of those slaves would seem to have a strong claim against the actual descendants of the slave holders. Other than that there is no legal or moral justification for holding any living person accountable.

However, there is one class of legal “persons” whose life and thus culpability is perpetual: corporations — which are considered fictitious persons under the law. Many of the slave-holders were not families but corporations, whose history can be traced through their and their successor’s mandatory government filings all the way back to the years at issue. Companies whose wealth includes income from slavery would seem to be legitimate, indeed prime targets for reparations.

But, importantly, political parties are another type of fictitious persons created and maintained by government filings, and thus should fall within the scope of culpability for the purpose of reparations. So if I were a reparations activist, that would be my priority: identifying and prosecuting the guilty, starting with the Democrat Party.

Now, if governments ever do decide to pay reparations (like the British government did incrementally from 1807 to 2015) they should be conditional on the equivalent of a “full satisfaction of claims” sign-off by the recipients and their lobbyists/activists, guaranteeing a total cessation of both grievance-based politics and public tolerance for thuggery — both of which have been intentionally driven by the “Woke” political left for their own selfish ends.

But we all know that condition would never be honored, just as we know from long experience with the liberals, that the “reparations” movement (especially for those setting its agenda at the top) really IS just the mother of all shakedown operations – with taxpayers as the patsy who would, once again, pay the bill.

Amongst the progressive herd of woke sacred cows, none is more exalted than homosexuality, and there’s no better indicator of that truth than the LGBT movement’s “pride of place” in the wokeness “holiday” calendar.

Black History Month gets the frozen wasteland of February (the shortest month being the “short end of the stick” as it were). Women get March (the month of dirty slush and abortive false-spring disappointments). But the gays and trannies get June for “Gay Pride Month” – the best of summer, lush, green and bursting with life: the month of vacations in the sun and lots of sporting events showcasing the gloating superiority of “trans women” over natural women and girls.

June is, of course, the month most optimal for parades – and parade they do. Indeed, the “gay pride” parades are the high point of the woke year – and everyone on the left is expected – nay, required – to attend. It is the ultimate test of virtue – the woke equivalent of a pilgrimage to Mecca – with the highest virtue-signaling scores going to those who bring their children to cavort with the drag queens and leather fetishists. The woke media cover these celebrations like they were V-E Day in Times Square (1945) – and in a very real sense, they are.

Few recognize that these “gay pride” parades are, literally, celebrations of martial power in the tradition of conquering armies flaunting plunder taken from defeated foes. Not kinetic wars but cultural ones: not captured armor and artifacts but captured people and their cultural symbolism. The floats and finery of these processions accentuate a cavalcade of cultural appropriations: the trans appropriation of the emblems of femininity and feminism, the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” appropriation of Catholic imagery, the “welcoming and affirming” contingents of pseudo-Christians’ appropriation of Protestant imagery, etc. – and above all of them flies the rainbow flag, stolen in the 1980s from the Black Panthers and Jesse Jackson’s “Rainbow Coalition.” Each contingent of Boy Scouts, soldiers and sailors, cops, civil servants, business and community groups represent the conquest of a former secular foe to the LGBT agenda being marched, hook-jawed like the Assyrian captives of old before cow-eyed masses awed by “gay” supremacy.

And of course, beyond the scope of the parade context, every church, government building, corporation or sports team that flies the rainbow flag is acknowledging its conquest by the LGBTs. Importantly, they’re not flying the flags of “Women’s Pride,” “Black Pride,” “Hispanic Pride,” or any other “Pride” flags in anything other than temporary token acknowledgment of their ownership by the herd. It’s only the Gay Pride flag that has priority and permanence.

When it comes to dividing the plunder of cultural conquest it’s always “one for you, and two for me.” That’s how, in addition to ALL of June, the LGBTs also get ALL of October for “Gay History Month.” Again, not just any month, but the premium month of the fall season and, most importantly, the first full month of the new school year – when America’s children have finally gotten past the September squirms and settled in to the rigors and rhythms of the new school year.

They’re then optimally ready to be immersed in all-things “gay” in every academic subject and social event, for regurgitation “in their own words” through the rest of the school year – the first major test with high social credit value being “coming out to your parents” on Thanksgiving in November. (The dress rehearsal for that is, of course, “Coming Out Day,” Oct 11, when the entire student body gets to witness the dispensation of special status and privilege by the faculty, administration and already “out” peers to those who “bravely choose to self-identify as ‘gay’ or ‘trans.’”)

My point in this article is to show that the woke herd of sacred cows is not and has never been a “coalition of equals” but an LGBT stable of assets. Radical feminists were useful to them in politically neutralizing white straight men from the 1950s through the 2015 defeat of the exclusivity of heterosexual marriage, and then they were immediately labeled TERFs (trans-exclusionary radical feminists) and targeted for political destruction when the cutting edge of the agenda shifted to trans-sexuality.

Black figureheads were especially useful to them from the 1980s to the present as the political equivalent of “offensive lineman” (relative to LGBT quarterbacking) in the long campaign to socially engineer special rights for “gays” under civil rights law. But, again, “Blackness” now offers NO social credit if you’re not 100% pro-LGBT (e.g., Justice Clarence Thomas). To ensure total LGBT control, the leadership of Black Lives Matter was assigned to a pair of black lesbians, and “hetero-normative” icon Bill Cosby was preemptively taken out politically (pre-Ferguson) so as not to interfere. To quash all doubt of who called the shots, the second defining act of BLM was to launch the black-trans agenda in parallel to the war against cops.

Very soon we’re all going to be subjected to another tsunami of relentless, nauseating LGBT propaganda during “Gay Pride Month.” We can’t stop it (yet), but we can do better at pushing back than we have in the past. I am challenging every normal-thinking person reading this article to take on this task in your own way, and to begin preparing today. (Start by forwarding this article to your friends.)

The LGBT movement is built on a foundation of lies, and I believe its greatest vulnerability is the plain, documented truth about its history, goals, strategies and actions. My co-author Kevin Abrams and I proved this hypothesis when we thwarted the “gay” attempt to “culturally appropriate” (hijack) the Holocaust in the 1990s. Our book The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party (First Edition, 1995), which was taken up as a sword against the “Gay Holocaust” fraud by a national network of Orthodox Jewish rabbis, stopped that effort cold.

But the greater benefit of this book is its extensive documentation of the Nazi roots of the American LGBT movement. My plan for “pride month” this year is to bring The Pink Swastika out of mothballs and promote its truths in an advertising campaign for the book. I’ve started my own bookstore for this purpose (because it’s aggressively banned virtually everywhere else) and have just accepted delivery of the first reprint of the Fourth Edition in 20 years. I’m not selling it for personal enrichment but to use 100% of the sales to fund an educational campaign about the ugly true history of the LGBT agenda, especially to the America First movement, which has encouragingly taken up the fight under the “anti-grooming” banner, but which is still mostly ignorant of the nuclear bombshell truths exhaustively documented in The Pink Swastika (using unimpeachable mainstream and LGBT sources).

It’s time to take an axe to the Nazi roots of the groomer trees, but first they need to be exposed.

Recently I received a note from a supporter asking me to define “Woke” and explain why “Wokeness” is spreading so rapidly. Here goes:

As a culture-war term of art, “Woke” is roughly equivalent to “Progressive” but connotes an extreme form most comparable to religious fanaticism. A “Woke” person is a passionate fully committed convert to the Progressive “religion” of Cultural Marxism, but one especially zealous for the cause of imposing its doctrines on the world. “Woke” is therefore the Satanic equivalent of “Born Again,” and “Wokeness” is the demonic equivalent of evangelical fervor. Thus the current battle for America should properly be viewed as a religious war of conquest by Woke armies against Judeo-Christian norms and cultural infrastructure. And the new “cancel culture” norms they strive to establish are their version of Inquisitor-enforced anti-blasphemy laws, minus (for now) the torture dungeons. Conservatives need to wake up to the fact that secular tactics cannot defeat spiritual enemies.

The greatest flaw of “conservatism” is its reactive emphasis on “conserving” the secular status quo, while the greatest advantage of “progressivism” is its constant pro-active pursuit of an essentially religious vision for the future. Progressives always have that vision to strive for, a systematic agenda to get them there, and doctrinal “narratives” about the vision and agenda to motivate, define, and morally justify themselves by. The Conservatives’ primary goal and agenda is to stop the progressives from achieving their goals by dragging their feet and throwing up roadblocks to lefty “progress.” Thus the Conservatives always win at first because it’s easier to obstruct than to build, but the Progressives always prevail over time because persistence always pays off – and because (since the early to mid 20th Century) Progressives control public education and the media which they use to indoctrinate the Conservatives’ children with Progressive theology while they wait for enough grey heads to die off to permanently tip the balance in their favor.

Generation by generation, issue by issue, ratchet-like, they engineer social change ever leftward and everybody on the right follows a few steps behind: fighting “gay marriage” tooth and nail under Reagan, then mindlessly inviting “gay” couples to their anti-Trans events under Trump. What changed except our supposed principles? And what makes us think we can beat them this time using the exact same playbook – which they wrote?

The best of the American Conservatives (a minority of mostly strong Christians) have the goal of restoring the models created for us by our Christian founders: the biblical vision of a “Shining City on a Hill” and the Bible-based aspirational goals of the Declaration of Independence which they attempted (largely successfully) to codify in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. But most of the rest of the Conservative “movement” are just traditionalists who resist change by nature without any particular knowledge of the reasoning, philosophy or theology behind their traditions. The closest they get to a common defining ideology is “patriotism.” They have lost their Christian faith – or perhaps more accurately have lost faith in the power of Christian faith.

Sometimes these Populist, Libertarian and nominally-Christian types get reawakened to foundational truths when the Progressives move too fast and cause the frog to jump out of the pot. That happened first in the Baby Boomer generation under Jimmy Carter, triggering the Ronald Reagan presidency and the “Reagan Revolution,” and then in the Millennial Generation under Barack Obama which triggered the Tea Party Revolution, the Donald Trump presidency and the MAGA movement. In both cases it was visionary pro-active Christianity that empowered Conservatism to (briefly) reclaim some ground.

Unfortunately, through simple incrementalism in their “long march through the institutions” over the past century, the Progressives have taken enough of the seats of power, and destroyed enough of America’s constitutional infrastructure, that they may now be invincible. Their combined sense of excitement and impunity from that realization has spawned today’s hyper-aggressive Cult of Wokeness. The 2020 election coup, the plandemic, and now the “trans-demic” all illustrate a level of power and control among the now “Woke” Progressive elite so enormous that they now openly defy laws, ethics and social conventions with virtually zero accountability.

The double standards they operate by in every public sphere are so blatant and egregious that they transcend what many believe is just a delusional lack of self-awareness of their own hypocrisy. No, they are knowingly and sadistically toying with us – like Disney doubling and tripling down on their grooming agenda targeting our children and grandchildren while sneering at us with smug superiority as we try unsuccessfully to bring them to heel with boycott-based financial punishment. We’re plunging down the mountain in a speeding car, furiously pumping brakes that just don’t work and realizing that they really don’t care about the old money system anymore – “Woke” religious zealotry has supplanted even the profit-motive.

The Woke Progressives don’t care about the Boomers anymore. Our numbers are dropping every day. They don’t care about anti-Trans activism by the Millennials who will cave faster than the Boomers did because they already embrace much the rest of the LGBT agenda and thus have no moral authority or sense of history. Woke Progressives have got pretty close to 100% control of the schools, media, corporations, sports leagues, and NGOs so there is really nothing we can do stop them from transitioning ALL the children who are not being specially shielded and counter-trained by their parents. Florida and a few other states are laudably trying to keep Wokeness out of the schools but that’s not enough to protect kids from a trillion-dollar multi-institutional culture-wide campaign of Woke evangelism in the age of social media.

Importantly, because the Cultural Marxist strategy behind the Progressive agenda has always pushed the sexual revolution to disintegrate true marriage and the natural family (the immune system of every nation), recruiting the kids into sexual anarchy clears the path for everything else. That’s why it has such a high priority on the left.

All the above is just practical reality from a materialist perspective. Biblically speaking, I believe we have reached the point in the prophetic timeline described in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12: “The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie, in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.”

Wokeness IS that “powerful delusion” (or at least a major aspect of it) and nothing can save the children from it but the truth of Christ. Rise UP, Oh men of God and proclaim that truth!

There is no more fundamental a truth than our Creation by God as male and female in His image. There is no more Satanic a lie than the abomination of “gay marriage,” except the denial of male/female binary exclusivity by God’s design.

The Conservative movement has largely moved on from the “gay marriage” battle to the fight against trans-insanity. In doing so, it has sealed its fate, and that of our nation. There is no America – indeed, there is no truly human civilization – without true marriage. To accommodate homosexuality as a social norm and to grant homosexual partnerships the status of marriage is to utterly reject God’s plan for humanity. That defilement of marriage was, according to the ancient Rabbis, the specific sin that triggered Noah’s flood. And, the societal normalization of homosexuality was what got Sodom incinerated by God – specifically as a warning to humanity about the last days destruction of the earth by fire (Jude 1:7).

Nineveh was spared destruction by God because it repented after Jonah’s warning. America is about as far from an attitude of repentance as a nation can get – even among the Conservatives. Things have gotten so bad that only God can save us now. But will He?

There’s nothing more to say except “Repent! For the End is Near.”

As with most of the left-wing fascist developments in America over the past century, the deepest roots of corporate wokeness originate in the LGBT movement.

On April 12, the Wall Street Journal published an opinion piece by “gay” activist Gregory Angelo title “I Helped Make Corporations Woke, and I Regret It.” In it, he confesses to pushing for policy that he knew was bad for the company he worked for, knowing it really had no choice but submit due to “the public flogging the company would take if it failed to support the bill.” He adds, “The trend I helped begin, I now realize, was a disaster. In the past three years, major U.S. corporations have weighed in on everything from abortion and Black Lives Matter to election laws – even as the American public overwhelmingly wishes they wouldn’t.”

Angelo’s confession is a prime example of what is called a “limited hangout” – a spy-craft euphemism from our deep-state intelligence network that means admitting to something relatively small to hide a much bigger truth and deceive the listeners into believing you are trustworthy for “being honest.” You then become a go-to public figure among naïve conservatives who elevate you to pundit-du-jour status on all the talk shows and quote you in all their articles – when all the while your true, secret mission is to prevent the bigger truths from being exposed. And, in Angelo’s case, it includes furthering the post-Obergefell LGBT Trojan Horse strategy to normalize so-called “gay conservatives” in the larger conservative movement by perpetuating the newly invented false distinction between the OGs (Original Gays) and the Groomer Gays/Transexuals (until such time as anti-“groomer” public outrage dies down and the coalition can again admit to being “best buds”).

One of the bigger truths he’s trying to keep covered is that “grooming” has always been a top agenda item of the LGBTs. For example, see Section 2, Demand 7, to state governments of the 1972 Gay Rights Platform: “The repeal of all laws governing age of sexual consent.” That didn’t come from some fringe faction in mom’s basement but was the product of a national convention of the top 200 LGBT organizations in America at that time.

Angelo undoubtedly knows very well the trend he describes did not begin in the 2010s but goes back to at least the 1980s. And take special note than the purpose of his “confession” is not to apologize for forcing the LGBT agenda down America’s throat, but only to help his movement avoid accountability in the growing backlash by pretending it was just riding a existing cultural wave not of its own making.

I was writing about the LGBT takeover of the corporate world back in the early ’90s – which I described then as the “Lavender Bulldozer Strategy.” In short the already large army of LGBT activists, most of whom were still “in the closet,” used their anonymity to infiltrate and take over corporate human relations departments, specifically to gain control of the hiring positions to bring in more of their own people. When enough of the activists had become employees, they would come “out of the closet” en masse, forming a “Gay and Lesbian Employees Association” that would then demand special rights in the company, including mandatory “sensitivity training” both to impose pro-LGBT groupthink on the entire workforce and to identify opponents who could then be neutralized or ousted tactically by HR.

Once a corporation had been fully absorbed and homosexualized, all of the corporate resources and assets would be re-purposed to serve the LGBT cause, as the company was integrated into the larger interconnected LGBT network spanning all the spheres of social, cultural and political influence.

Of course, the “noble theme” of their takeover campaigns was always “civil rights,” a brand they fully owned as a movement after hijacking it from the blacks in the 1980s. I have explained that sordid history here.

At the turn of the millennium there was a serious conservative counter-campaign trying to stop the hostile takeover of the corporations. Indeed, I was in D.C. on 9/11 with a pro-family strategy group that included a representative of the Alliance Defending Freedom (then called the Alliance Defense Fund) tasked with heading that pushback effort. But ADF was no match for the LGBTs even then.

Starting with the election of 2008, things got much, much worse under Obama whose plan to “fundamentally transform America” put all things LGBT front and center on the priority list and spread the woke infestation not just across the entire for-profit corporate world, but through the nonprofits/NGOs as well, including the Boy Scouts of America, whose shameful takedown I chronicle here.

Under Obama, the “Lavender Bulldozer” was upgraded to its current status as the “Rainbow Borg” and deployed against professional sports, the media, academia and federal and state agencies. When conservative legislatures in states such as RINO Mike Pence’s Indiana tried to stop the blitzkrieg with legislation, such as Mat Staver’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the Rainbow Borg pressed in with a national extortion campaign. I addressed that event (including Pence’s capitulation) in a 2015 article titled “Indiana Meets the Borg.”

Indiana offers perhaps the best example of an Obama-era Rainbow Borg shakedown in which all of the recently assimilated components – including corporations, major sports franchises and even churches – were brought together in one campaign. This became, of course, the blueprint for the much more effective national extortion campaign in 2020, which you must remember was spearheaded by BLM, headed by a pair of overtly Marxist lesbians, and raked in literally billions from complicit corporations while imposing a highly toxic anti-white racism and trans-normalization agenda on the entire nation. (Never forget that blacks and women are subservient components of the LGBT-controlled “Progressive” coalition.)

So, bottom line: Don’t be deceived into thinking wokeness is some recent phenomenon or that the transgender agenda is somehow separate from the “gay” agenda. The fact is that “woke” is just a 21st century term for an old Cultural Marxist disease the fully united LGBT movement has been trying to spread through this country since its emergence in middle of the 20th century.

For more information on the history of the LGBT movement read Scott Lively’s book “Redeeming the Rainbow,” a free link to which you can get here.

I have written many times on the parallel of Israel’s republic (detailed in Joshua and Judges) with the American republic. Most tellingly, the political logjam preventing ratification of our U.S. Constitution was only broken when holdouts in New Hampshire were persuaded by Pastor Samuel Langdon’s 1788 sermon “The Republic of the Israelites an Example to the American States.” And if that Scripture-based history explains how we became a republic, it can also explain why ours has survived no better than that of the Israelites.

We have just celebrated Easter, the Christian version of the biblical Feast of First Fruits (Leviticus 23:4-14), in which Jesus “has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep” (1 Corinthians 15:20). On Easter morning I was blessed to receive what seems to be a gift of insight from the Holy Spirit on one of the great mysteries of the Bible: the rationale behind the sacrifice of Jephthah’s daughter in Judges 11.

A few weeks previously, our weekly livestreamed chapter-by-chapter Freestyle Bible Study addressed the story of Jephthah. Like most Christians, I had always been mystified by Jephthah’s strange vow that forced him to (later) sacrifice his own daughter as the price of military victory over the Ammonites. On that day I had prayed for insight on that strange passage but did not receive it.

However, on Easter morning as I was preparing for that day’s Bible Study on Judges 19, I began looking for evidence in the book of Judges of the keeping of the biblical feasts during that era. Such evidence is very sparse and mostly just implied, such as the references to Levites who travel the land, for example in the story of Micah and the Danites in Judges 17-18. Repentant sinner Micah recruits a wandering Levite, Jonathan, grandson of Moses, to be the personal priest of his household.

When a band of Danite warring adventurers later visits Micah and hears the voice of the young Levite (who was already familiar to them) they essentially poach him for themselves, and continue on their way to Laish, inhabited by Sidonians, which they conquered and renamed Dan. “The Danites set up idols for themselves, and Jonathan son of Gershom, the son of Moses, and his sons were priests for the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land [when the Ark of the Covenant was stolen from Shiloh by the Philistines]. So they set up for themselves Micah’s graven image, and it was there the whole time the house of God was in Shiloh” (Judges 18:30-31).

So what we see is a continuation of Mosiac religious ritual through the book of Judges but in a corrupted form, despite the deliverers whom God raises up to reconnect the people to Himself whenever Hebrew national existence and independence was threatened. The continuously repeated message of Judges is that no matter how many chances God gives His people, they are never truly able to govern themselves under the rule of (Mosaic) law for very long but always fall back into idolatry. And, most importantly to my thesis today is that at least several of the Judges themselves each seem to exemplify the sin/habit/practice that must be purged from the land for it to be restored to God.

I first noticed and began pondering this hypothesis when we read and discussed the story of (Trump-like) Samson, who, despite being set apart even from before birth under the Nazirite vow, lived in many ways a life that mirrored the sins of the Philistines. And Samson ultimately only prevailed over their leadership by pulling down their temple onto himself, killing them – and himself – in the process.

Suddenly, I understood the story of Jephthah and his virgin daughter – his only child. Jephthah was chosen by God to overthrow the Ammonites, a nation born from Lot’s incestuous sin with his own daughter. That sin made Ammon and all his descendants “Mamzers” – which is why they could not intermarry with the Hebrews. “No one of illegitimate birth may enter the assembly of the LORD [the gene pool of marriageable partners], nor may any of his descendants, even to the tenth generation. No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants.” (Deuteronomy 23:2-30)

Jephthah was himself a Mamzer, born to a prostitute whom his father had slept with. His victory over the Mamzer Ammonite nation ultimately depended on the sacrifice (literally or symbolically) of his own genetic line – which ended with his virgin daughter. Like Samson (with Delilah “Stormy” Daniels), Gideon (with the Midianite family altar to Baal) and others, Jephthah’s life was intimately entangled with the sins of the enemy he was raised up to bring down.

In parallel/contrast with Jephthah’s story is that of the Judge Ibzan, whom Jewish tradition asserts is Boaz from the book of Ruth. Ruth, is, of course, a Moabitess under the same Mamzer curse as Jephthah’s daughter because Moab was Lot’s other son by father-daughter incest. Except in this case, which follows immediately after Jephthah’s story in the book of Judges chronologically (but is not explained until the book of Ruth), Ruth is justified and sanctified by the Kinsman Redeemer, Boaz, a type of Christ. And indeed because of this she becomes a part of His genetic line. The curse is broken.

The lesson of the book of Judges is that only Christ can save His people, and so the Israelite republic and its experiment of self-governance under the laissez faire rule of the House of Israel (led by the Tribe of Ephraim) finally ends with the humiliating conquest of the Israelites by the (post-Samson) revived Philistines who destroy the Ephraimite capital of Shiloh and carry off the Ark.

When the Israelites finally get the Ark back they send it to the fortified Judean city of Kirjath Jearim pending the formal transfer of authority over the 12 tribes to the Tribe and House of Judah under the monarchy of King David – the most important Christ figure of the Bible except for Jesus Himself.

America’s “Ark” is our Bible-based constitution, which was stolen by our own home-grown Philistines who also destroyed our “Shiloh” in the election coup of 2020/21. If the pattern holds, we will never again return to self-rule under law, but suffer first a wicked King Saul (an Antichrist) then be delivered by the (Davidic) King of Kings (Revelation 19:11-21).

Throughout Judges there is one repeating statement that explains why the Israelite republic ultimately failed and why America is failing now: “In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” No matter how many Eisenhowers, Reagans and Trumps God raises up in times of greatest need, our (always partial) repentance and restoration only lasts a short while before our collective sin overtakes us again (even more powerfully) and the most wicked among us (like Abimelech in Judges 9 and OBiden today) seize the seats of power. Thus, next comes hell on earth.

Without the one true Shepherd, we are incapable of righteous civilization – which is the entire point and purpose of the grand finale of His-story, His Millennial Kingdom – when He will sit on “the throne of David,” which the Christian world now awaits like a woman enduring the pains of labor (Matthew 24:6-8).

It is no secret to those who get their news outside the U.S./U.K. media propaganda bubble that the government of Ukraine has become a highly repressive military dictatorship under cultural Marxist President Zelensky, in which both opposition political parties and independent media are banned. But the very worst repression is being seen today in the grotesque holy week persecution of Orthodox monks and believers as showcased in this aptly titled article: “U.S./NATO-funded proxy war in Ukraine fueling hatred, persecution of ancient Christian community: Priests arrested, praying Christians mocked in public by ultra-nationalists and Satanists as standoff continues at holy site.” Pay special attention to the accompanying photo.

This week I gave an online interview on this topic to a Moscow-based Russian media outlet that featured me a few years ago as the primary English-speaking authority in the internationally popular documentary film “Sodom.” I offer their questions and my preliminary answers here by way of educating my fellow American conservatives on this topic.

Question. What provoked the religious conflict in Ukraine?

Answer. There is a worldwide assault on Christianity because it is the strongest force standing against the globalist plot for one-world government. The global elites intend to create this one-world government on a Utopian Cultural Marxist theme – which sets its highest priority on what they call “sexual freedom” but which is really sexual anarchy. The most powerful drivers of this agenda are the LGBTs, who now control the governments of the West, including the NATO alliance. Zelensky is their willing friend and ally in that goal. He is pretending that the current suppression of the church is about nationalistic patriotism, but it is really an effort to purge the church from the culture to make way for Marxism and the “great reset.”

Q. It’s no secret that all decisions in Kyiv are made after consultations in the United States. Today we have witnessed how its inhabitants are being expelled from the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. Don’t you think that this is a violation of the principles of religious rights and freedoms that the States themselves defend?

A. While it is true that the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights is intended to guarantee the freedom of the church from government interference, the same corrupt political leaders who are backing the Zelensky dictatorship are working against religious rights and freedoms here in America. If they work openly to suppress and persecute Christians here in America, how much more are they willing to do that in their puppet state of Ukraine? Yes, these attacks on the church are a gross violation of religious rights and freedoms, and it is shameful that the Western governments are not condemning the religious persecutions in Ukraine.

Q. Criminal cases are initiated against clergy in Ukraine, some priests are deprived of Ukrainian citizenship, parishes are seized by schismatics – what will this lead to?

A. On my third trip to Russia in 2013, I toured Moscow and the Kremlin with a delegation from the World Congress of Families, which intended to hold an international conference defending biblical marriage and the natural family there in 2014 (which was canceled due to the outbreak of civil war in Ukraine). Part of that tour featured an overview of what the Soviet Communists did to the church during their control of Russia, which included tearing down beautiful churches and cathedrals, and turning others into storage warehouses for trucks and heavy equipment. That is always what Marxists do when they come to power, and I expect to see more of the same defilement of church properties in Ukraine and insults to the dignity of the believers, the stronger the Marxist powers grow.

Q. What church schisms have occurred in world history and what did it lead to?

A. It is in the nature of human beings to fight and separate from each other over differences of opinion and policy, and that is unfortunately true inside the church as well. Even the apostles and their disciples experienced these schisms. But persecution from outside the church usually has the opposite effect and brings true believers closer together against the common enemy. I think that will be the case in Ukraine. Those who allow themselves to be controlled by outsiders will be exposed as false priests and prophets, but those who truly share the love of Christ in humility will band together – even across denominational lines – and be strengthened spiritually by their ordeals, and the Lord will bless them for their faith and courage, even if the enemy destroys the buildings and other religious trappings.

Q. Does the secular authorities have the right to interfere in the affairs of the church?

A. The Holy Bible reveals that God established state and church as separate sovereigns ruled by separate leaders: kings and priests. He intended them to be what is called in Western law “co-adjuvants” or cooperating equals over human civilization, both subject to His law above the law. As a practical matter, the state usually dominates public policy making with the church acting as the spirit and conscience that preserves morality and discourages evil. When the partnership fails, it is usually because one sovereign or the other abandons godliness and turns to sin, in which case the other sovereign has some right to interfere to bring correction as part of its duty to God. However, in the present case the state has been given over to sin and is thus very hostile to the church. Because of that it has NO right to interfere with the church, but the church does have the right to interfere in order to redeem the state.

Q. What can be the solution of the religious conflict in Ukraine?

A. I think the only solution to the religious conflict in Ukraine is for strong Christian believers with political skills to infiltrate the government and reform it from within, while Christian-influenced world governments and NGOs apply pressure from without to restore God’s standards of ethics, morality and public service to the regime. I also think the Orthodox Church should directly appeal to the conservative Benjamin Netanyahu government in Israel for intervention, because it is experiencing the same Marxist vs. Religious power struggle in its country as is happening in Ukraine, and it also has a powerful role regarding U.S. policy.

Q. What role does the Russian Orthodox Church play in the world?

A. At the present time, the Russian Orthodox Church is the world’s strongest defender of biblical marriage and the natural family, without which civilization itself will disintegrate. It’s essential leadership in this matter is an encouragement to true Christian believers of every confession around the world, and even to those of other faiths who share the universal truths about normal sexuality and family. Preserving and unifying the people of the world around these foundational truths is, in my opinion, the only way to defeat godless globalism, and I urge the Russian Orthodox Church to be more assertive in its promotion of family-based unity around the world, using its resources to actively campaign for such unity internationally.

If it is true that history always repeats for those who fail to learn from it, it is doubly true when actual history is replaced by false revisionist narratives to serve a social-engineering agenda. How can you fix a problem you never knew you had? Sometimes, however, the “Wizard” behind the curtain loses control of the propaganda machine, and the previously brainwashed masses get a rude awakening to how much they’ve been duped. That’s today’s reality in America, where newly awakened conservatives and constitutionalists are suddenly on the verge of civil war with the mind-enslaved zombies of the “progressive” left whose lies have been exposed. It’s a showdown of the Awake vs the Woke. And it’s all thanks to the American Samson, Donald Trump, who has pulled down the Temple of Dagon onto their heads (and his own) to give the American Israelites a fighting chance to overthrow the Philistine demon-worshipers we call the “deep state.”

Without Trump we would collectively have slept right through the transition from a Constitutional Republic to a Global Maoist Technocracy under Hillary Clinton – ignoring the shouts of warning from “crack-pot bigots” like myself on the “radical fringe” of society. And that is, of course, why ALL the Woke, and a great many “useful idiots” following their lead, hate Trump with a passion that burns in them like the unquenchable fires of Hell, blinding them to all reason and prudence – to the point that many have abandoned even the pretext of rationality and justice. Trump is America’s “Judge” in the truest Old Testament Samsonian sense, and our fate as a nation is inextricably intertwined with his.

But Americans have only a partial understanding of just how deep the duplicity goes in history. Some of the most important truths necessary to understand our present crisis are still buried under layers of false narratives: the most important being the true history of Nazi Germany, which was in many ways a globalist dress rehearsal for all that is happening in America today.

Two simple, easily documented facts that will help to crack open the door of truth are 1) that the earliest, deepest root of the American LGBT movement was the Chicago chapter of the German Society for Human Rights (whose most famous member was topmost SA Brownshirt leader and Hitler’s right-hand man Ernst Roehm), launched in 1924 by a German-American soldier, Henry Gerber. And 2) that it was the OSS, predecessor of the CIA, who, in the early 1930s recruited the “father” of Cultural Marxism, Herbert Marcuse, and then unleashed him as a social engineer pushing the “sexual revolution” throughout America as the golden oracle of the elite university system. The very term “sexual revolution” was coined by his Marxist fellow-traveler, Wilhelm Reich, whose German version of his 1936 book “Sexuality in the Culture War” was renamed “The Sexual Revolution” for the English version. It was subtitled: “for the socialist restructuring of humans.” Let the implications of that phrase sink in for a moment in respect to our rising trans-sexual/trans-humanist nightmare.

Reich’s most famous book was “The Mass Psychology of Fascism” (1933), an anti-Nazi treatise that was one of the first to expose the homosexual core of Nazi male identity. For example, he wrote: “The male supremacy of the Platonic era is entirely homosexual. … The same principle governs the fascist ideology of the male strata of Nazi leaders (Bluher, Roehm, etc.) [who] … reactivate the sexual life of the Platonic era in their familial form of living. … Rosenberg and Bluher [the leading Nazi ideologists] recognize the state solely as a male state organized on a homosexual basis (Reich:91ff).”

Don’t be fooled by the apparent incompatibility of the Marcuse/Reich “Communist Socialism” with the Nazi Party’s “Nationalist Socialism”: This conflict was only a temporary reflection of the butch/femme division of the German “gay” male subculture in which the butches aligned with the Nazis and the femmes aligned with the Communists. Their internecine war is thoroughly documented in Volume 1 of “The Pink Swastika,” Fifth Edition, which you may buy in print form here or access for free here.

In post-WWII America, however, that butch/femme division was erased, allowing for the unity of purpose that is reflected in today’s rainbow swastika. The LGBTs learned the heavy price of internal conflict in Germany and ever since have made total unity against Judeo-Christian sexual morality their top priority, even, for example, in the face of massive societal push-back against the trans-insanity that has become the new front line of the battlefield.

Like Samson, Trump isn’t just a “Judge” but a symbol of patriarchal alpha-male masculinity (and traditional American hetero-normative values) – despite his reported dalliances with prostitutes, and despite his self-harming limited support for so-called “gay marriage” (by which he wrongly hopes to neutralize “gay” hatred toward him). Like Samson, Trump’s conduct as God’s appointed change agent is “complicated” at best. Nevertheless, Trump is a walking, talking symbol of binary heterosexual cultural primacy – perhaps (ironically) the only one in modern America who can’t be attacked for acting “holier than thou” (their neutralizer of choice against Christians).

Another critical fact buried by revisionists is the collaboration of the Nazis with the Muslims, led by the Mufti of Jerusalem, who formed his own Waffen SS Battalion in Palestine. He was succeeded by his pederast nephew, Yasser Arafat (a pseudonym). And, importantly, unique to Muslims is the strategy of creating armies of fighting “human shields” formed from the enslaved children of their targets for national conquest. That demonic strategy is the apparent spiritual inspiration for the growing enslavement of American schoolchildren as soldiers of the “cause of social justice.” And it is a strategy that has been so successful that a second generation of these slaves, under the “transgender” banner, is being groomed as terrorist special forces – conditioned by second-gen propaganda toward violent acts of “vengeance.” Following their lead, the long LGBT cold war against Christians is now going hot, with the recent Nashville massacre being a harbinger of the future for those who refuse to bow the knee to faux-pronoun fascism and other rainbow swastika tyrannies.

Learning from history doesn’t necessarily ensure you can avoid its repetitions. You also have to take effective action to stop the bad guys. In this case, it means educating Americans on the centrality of the LGBT agenda to the attack on our system, and the willingness to accept that the only real solution is a restoration of Judeo-Christian religious and cultural norms.

But the person who most needs to learn the history exposed in this article is President Trump, who seems completely ignorant of the fact that his indictment and arrest is above all else a Lefty Sieg Heil to the Rainbow Swastika.

For the left, and particularly its LGBT agenda-steering de facto “executive committee,” the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow (of “utopian” social engineering) has always been the power not just to suppress all dissent, but to force dissenters to vocally affirm and parrot its narratives. That is the secret to understanding the rising tyranny of “mis-gendering” and “dead-naming” laws and policies – with much, much worse to come if they have their way.

As I outlined in the preface to the second edition of my book “The Poisoned Stream,” there are five stages of “homo-fascism”: 1) Tolerance, 2) Acceptance, 3) Celebration, 4) Forced participation in “gay” culture, and 5) Punishment of dissenters. In America, that process started in the 1940s when notorious pederast (and “Father of the American Gay Movement”) Harry Hay’s Mattachine Society adopted “the right to be left alone” (the essence of tolerance) as its motto. This was not incidental, but part of a deliberate long-term legal and political strategy built upon SCOTUS Justice Louis Brandies’ theory that a “right to privacy” could be found in the “penumbras” of the U.S. Constitution.

That theory later became binding constitutional law, powerfully facilitating progressive judicial activism by leftist judges, which bypassed the peoples’ legislatures and imposed many culture-transforming policies upon us through the courts – the most consequential being advancements of the “sexual revolution” at the expense of Judeo-Christian moral norms. I have summarized that progression here.

Do not be deceived: In America’s culture war, the LGBT movement has been both the point of the spear and the thrusting arm behind it all along, and the other contingents of the progressive coalition have never been equal partners but always just a “stable of assets” of the “gays.” Many of the major change agents, like Brandeis, have been Jews, not (as claimed by neo-Nazis) because they “control everything” as a single monolithic block (the presence of many stalwart Jewish allies in the conservative movement alone belies that), but because their history of internal cultural liberality on sexual matters (in reaction to overly-restrictive Christian “puritanism”) made their more secularized members early targets in the homosexualization of the Western world. Just as the Boy Scouts, the U.S. military, the Anglican Church and countless other formerly conservative bastions more recently fell to the LGBT agenda, secularized Judaism was conquered (very early) by the same malign force.

As recent history has shown, no groups other than the strongly religious (e.g., true-believer Christians, Jews and Muslims) have displayed enduring effective resistance to the social virus of sexual anarchy – which “virus” is “progressive” not just in the sense of serving a pro-active political agenda, but also in the sense of spreading a degenerative behavioral disorder akin to drug or porn addiction: always worsening over time in ever more defiling and degrading forms of desire and conduct. And so, not just individually, but collectively (as a society containing increasing numbers of afflicted individuals), tolerance gave way to acceptance, then celebration of what prior generations of Americans rightly shunned as depraved and demonic.

Celebration trending to forced participation is the current stage of homo-fascism most of America is suffering. Some parts of the country – the deepest red regions – lag behind at the cusp of acceptance and celebration. Very few have held their ground at tolerance – the only (barely) biblical posture when observed as a “don’t ask, don’t tell” general approach toward individual strugglers and their social groups. Some places – primarily the deepest blue cities and universities – have reach the cusp of forced participation and punishment and are actively punishing dissenters to the (growing) extent that they can get away with it.

Importantly, the progressives are masters of incrementalism – an approach that is imposed on their street-activist armies by the “executive committee” elites, such as the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg whom I spotlighted as Exhibit A in my exposé of the strategy (exactly 10 years ago). She contended in a special speech at U Chicago Law School that Roe v. Wade was a bad ruling because it moved too fast, creating the pro-life movement. I argued that she was telegraphing to the left that SCOTUS was NOT going to create a right to “gay marriage” in its two pending LGBT cases as the street activists demanded and expected. I was soon vindicated in that prediction.

Likewise, I recognized that the ultimate champion of LGBT cultural supremacy, Justice Anthony Kennedy, who wrote all four of the majority opinions imposing it on us by judicial fiat, was not turning against his own cause in Dale v. Boy Scouts of America (2000) by siding with the pro-family majority. Nor, in my opinion, was he showing himself to be a true supporter of Dale’s hybrid right of “expressive association” (combining the right to free speech with freedom of association) in agreeing that the Boy Scouts should not be forced to embrace homosexuality in its ranks. He was only preserving the strategy of incrementalism – knowing that America was not ready for that step. Kennedy gritted his teeth and did it again in Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission in 2017 (on the question of whether a baker could be forced to put a pro-“gay” message on a cake) because America was still not quite ready.

But then, after Kennedy resigned in 2018, Donald Trump threw a huge boulder in the path of progressive incrementalism by giving us a “conservative” majority on the Supreme Court that – thank God – is not following conservative tradition by preserving the new status quo created for them by their liberal predecessors. They are instead acting more like true constitutionalists and finally overturning lawless precedents like Roe v. Wade and (it is anticipated) the even more insidious Obergefell v. Hodges invention of “gay marriage.”

But it must be remembered by the activist armies of the right that they (we) have at least as major a part to play in the judicial roll-back to constitutionalism as our street-level counterparts on the left had in prior decades. Our present advantage at the high court MUST be maximized while it still exists, and that means we should be actively fighting the bad laws on the ground to create legal conflicts that can eventually reach SCOTUS. My long-time friend Hal Shurtleff of Camp Constitution did this with the help of my other long-time friends at Liberty Counsel – winning a stunning 9-0 victory for freedom of speech in the Christian flag case in my deep blue home state.

That victory could never have happened without Christian/constitutionalist street activism against bad laws. And there are no worse Constitution-killing laws in America than those crushing our freedoms under the rainbow jackboots of the LGBT movement. Homo-fascism is insidious and deadly and it must be fought first in the streets before honest judges can overturn it in the courts. Our people should be constantly “mis-gendering” and “dead-naming” and otherwise (non-violently) “breaking” those unconstitutional laws for the purpose of creating martyrs with standing to sue the government and every woke institution that practices homo-fascism. As journalist James O’Keefe famously exhorts: Be Brave – Do Something!

– I’d Love to Change the World,” Ten Years After, Top 40 hit in 1971

Like most Americans, I was greatly unnerved to hear the that a “trans man” murdered three 9-year-old children and three adults at a Nashville Christian elementary school, where this disturbed young woman had once attended. Even though school shootings and other mass murders have (predictably) become rather common in America, this one is especially tragic because it targeted grammar school kids. and because it is clearly a hate crime against Christians that we all know will never be characterized as such, so that no taint of negativity will ever stain the public image of the LGBT community.

To clarify, the radio news report I heard Monday did not identify the killer as “trans,” but instead featured a statement from Biden emphasizing the importance of gun control. I had to seek out conservative news outlets to learn the key fact that “our president” and his coconspirator media deliberately suppressed. But the story was too big for the media to bury, and so now virtually all media outlets are forced to cover it.

It has become standard practice for all divisions of the leftist power bloc to instantly and unanimously ascribe causality for any violence against LGBTs to everyone who criticizes their community or agenda; in other words, if you at any time in your life have ever said anything negative about LGBT people or their political agenda, it is your fault if someone you’ve never met or even heard of, shoots up a “gay” nightclub, for example. But, when the roles are reversed, it is never the fault of leftist rhetoric when someone sharing LGBT views commits a crime – such as when Floyd Lee Corkins attempted mass murder at the Family Research Council, using the SPLC’s “hate map” to find the organization’s location.

Causation is a big deal in criminal law, and rightfully so, because it would create social chaos for the judicial branch to punish someone other than the actual perpetrator of a crime without very strong evidence others were personally involved. That’s why there is well-developed legal doctrine on things like incitement so that free speech is not chilled. But chilling speech critical of anything LGBT is precisely why the left pretends there is NO legal guidance on incitement: They simply imply that the “wrong” kind of speech is legally actionable (knowing that it isn’t) because they want everyone to fear the possibility of criminal prosecution for merely stating facts and opinions they cynically deem “hate speech” (which includes anything even slightly non-celebratory). And they reinforce that posture by socially “canceling” people in the private sector as if their views are criminal. Even worse, they are now working feverishly to establish speech codes forcing people to adopt and use the “transgender” lexicon subject to actual punishments for “mis-gendering” and “dead-naming” anyone. It is Orwellian, bordering, literally, on the psychotic.

THIS is fascism! By the people who ridiculously, preposterously portray themselves as anti-fascist. And now their constant agitation and grievance-mongering among a class of mentally ill young people is pushing them to murder innocents. Does this legally qualify as incitement? Perhaps not, but it is a quantum leap closer to being legally actionable than what they already contend pro-family Christians are guilty of. And from the moral and ethical standpoint, it is unquestionably true that everyone conspiring to bury the truth of male/female binary heterosexual normalcy beneath an avalanche of politically driven, scientifically bankrupt trans-normalizing propaganda shares the blame for the murder of these little children and their teachers.

Enough is enough. It is past time for the normies to rise up and tear down the transgender normalization racket in our society. And if you don’t do that you’ll have no one to blame but yourself when this bloody atrocity becomes as common as Drag Queen Story Hour.

To be absolutely clear, this is not a call to violence against anyone – but it is a call to destroy the propaganda campaign that is literally raping the minds of America’s children. Take back the schools! Take back the libraries! Take back the media! Take back the seats of power from dog-catcher to the presidency! Take back America from these soulless ghouls! And in the process save their mind-enslaved victims by drawing them back into the light of truth and reason.

The Bible does not say that “money is the root of all evil.” It actually says, in 1st Timothy 6:10 that “the love of money is the root of many evils.” Different versions offer slight variations in wording but the actual text comports with the self-evident reality that some evils have nothing at all to do with money. Murder, for example, is statistically more likely to be motivated by jealousy, revenge or rage than love of money.

Make no mistake, the love of money is very high on the list of things that cause evil results, as showcased in Ezekiel 28:11-16 which explains how Satan himself fell from grace. And to show just how insidious the love of money can be even in the church, consider that one of the reasons we have so many versions of the Bible with divergent wording is that copyright laws require a book to be substantially different from those already in print in order to claim an exclusive right to market it. 

But there is a greater evil that even Satan is not guilty of (though he is the author of it among humankind): Atheism, the personal, affirmative denial of God’s existence. Consider the implications of James 2:19 “You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!” So in the biblical context, it could be said that Atheists are worse than demons – though not necessarily from the human perspective which measures evil by conduct in human affairs. To resolve that conflict God offers a two-tiered standard for judgement, summed up by Jesus in Matthew 22:37-40: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”  

We humans tend to overemphasize the second greatest commandment because it is more obvious and personal to us, but from God’s viewpoint, loving Him is paramount, meaning that denying He exists really is far worse than any human-on-human crime, even genocide.  

But even Atheism itself is not exactly “the root of ALL evil,” because, obviously, those who admit He exists – even the demons – also commit all manner of evil.   

The one thing that Atheists and sinning Theists (even those who love Him) have in common which makes every evil act they commit possible is Disregard for the WILL of God. It all comes down to whose will prevails, which is why The Lord’s Prayer which He taught to His disciples, centers on the phrase “thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” and why the Lord’s own prayer to the Father in the Garden of Gethsemane ended with “thy will, not my will, be done.”

Of course, Atheists don’t give a second thought to God’s will in anything that they want to do, but in fact either arrogate to themselves the right and responsibility for managing the things of the world (on the theory that Man is his own god), or just live as they please without any regard for questions of “responsibility” (because, to them, ultimately nothing really means anything so why bother do anything but maximize personal satisfaction). And Theists, to the extent they are ignorant of the will of God or believe they have the right to ignore, modify or reinterpret His will, tend to be susceptible to all the worldly narratives and policies of the “humanists” (both “good” and bad) who seek to rule and reign according to their own will. 

The ones least susceptible to evil (but never fully immune) are those who seek diligently to know and follow the will of God in all things – including uncompleted Jews, Muslims and other sincere Theists (even if their source materials are flawed). I call these latter categories “the deceived unsaved” to distinguish them from the intentionally wicked. But among the sincere seekers, only those whose assurance of salvation is rooted in Jesus Christ, are protected by His payment for their sins from its eternal consequences (though they are not necessarily exempted from natural and worldly consequences while on this mortal plane). 

The key to understanding why the world is in its current degenerate state is to recognize that theories, strategies and solutions grounded in God-disregarding human will, regardless of whether they are motivated by benign or malign intent, are in every case fatally flawed because mankind does not have the knowledge or wisdom of the One who created all things for His own purposes. It is not enough to be able to “reverse-engineer” aspects of the created order through mathematics and scientific inquiry: the things the humans discover through these processes are always just a shadow of the larger reality. The limitations of every step of advancement is later proven, like the theory of “junk DNA,” to fall far short of the deeper truths — and that will always be true because of the infinite complexity of the mind/logos of God which sustains His creation. 

In the polarized context of the culture war we conservatives tend to attribute malign motives to the globalist elites, and in many cases that’s a well supported assumption, but in many other cases the motive (in the minds of the perpetrators) is benign, even when the results are not. I’ll never forget reading, in one sitting several years ago, the sequential introductions to the several re-publications of the Communist Manifesto, and being struck by the sincerity of the good intentions implicit in their contentions. That was the first step on my path to writing this article.

They didn’t recognize they were paving the road to Hell, seeing only the positives of their approach, of which there were several, including the end of child labor, more humane working conditions and the social shaming of greed-based commerce. 

And on the capitalist flip-side, looking objectively at the “developed” world, from a broad-brush materialist perspective, there is quite obviously a benevolent intention behind the vastness of our collective material wealth and social progress relative to prior centuries. Let one example suffice to prove this: for the people of the world to be able to walk around with a “smart phone” giving the poorest of the poor virtually unlimited access to the accumulated knowledge of humankind at the touch of a finger is wealth beyond the wildest imagination of our most prosperous ancestors – and this is just one of many such luxuries we enjoy. It would be just as easy for the 1% and their militaries to keep us all naked and in chains eating dirt if they were all as malicious as our rhetoric implies. So give credit where due (but only to the limited extent that is due).

Yet what shall it profit mankind to have gained this world but lost its soul? Money is not evil in itself, nor is being “rich” a sin. But human “advancements” without honoring the God who made them possible always end badly. Marxist “liberation” becomes slavery. Technological marvels become police-state manacles. Egalitarian impulses become reverse-racism mandates. Puritanism-loosening cultural reform becomes civilization-defiling pan-sexual debauchery. Every human attempt to bless the world for our own glory spawns a parallel curse on humanity.

THAT is why we’re in this mess and will never get out of it without true repentance. The real root of all evil is Us without Him.

My only visit to the Stanford University Law School was in 2007 to present oral argument to a three-judge panel of the Federal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in the most important case of my career in constitutional law: Good News Employee Association v. City of Oakland. My small Temecula-based law firm, of which I was managing partner, represented two African-American Christian women whose attempt to organize a Christian alternative to the recently formed Gay and Lesbian Employee Association (GLEA) was brutally squashed by the Oakland city agency of which they were long-time employees. Although the GLEA had been enthusiastically welcomed by the city government, and allowed to recruit members using the city-wide employee email directory, when our clients posted a flyer in their workplace announcing the intention to form a Christian alternative, it was immediately removed and our clients threatened with termination for any future posting of “homophobic” content. That was in 2003 if memory serves.

We filed our complaint in the proper venue, the U.S. Federal Court in San Francisco, where it was (of course) assigned to the still in-the-closet Judge Vaughn Walker, the very man who would years later strike down Proposition 8 (California’s ban on “gay marriage” by popular vote on a citizen ballot initiative) and then retire to “come out” as a homosexual to nary a whisper of suggestion by any news media or pundits that he should have recused himself for conflict of interest. In retrospect, therefore, we understood why in our case he outrageously ruled against our clients, claiming that their free speech rights as pro-family Christians in the workplace were “vanishingly small.” *

The oral argument in our appeal of the Good News case was, surprisingly, held in the Moot Court room at Stanford Law School, because (I believe) the ultra-liberal three-judge panel wanted to entertain the liberal law students with the judicial equivalent of a gladiatorial slaughter of Christians. Going in, I knew our loss was pretty much a foregone conclusion, but one should always leave room for a miracle from God, and, hey, even as a sacrifice to the leftist mob, how many (little-guy) lawyers ever get to argue a truly righteous free-speech case before the second-highest court in the land? Sure enough, the panel affirmed Walker’s act of “vanishingly small” integrity, and in another surprising move that proved just how constitutionally bankrupt was his legal reasoning, they declined to officially publish their ruling – meaning it couldn’t be cited in other cases where its false logic could be eviscerated.

I offer this firsthand testimony to show that Stanford’s recent faculty-supported riot of left-wing law students to successfully “cancel” the speech of sitting federal Judge Kyle Duncan is not some sudden social outlier but the fruit of a creeping culture of wokeness on that campus that goes back at least to the turn of the millennium – facilitated by the highest echelons of the California elite.

I’m no stranger to cancel-culture bullying; among the many times I have been treated like Judge Duncan on college campuses was a candidate debate on criminal justice at Harvard Law School during my first run for governor of Massachusetts. The student activists were just as rowdy and obnoxious as those at Stanford, and the administration was just as passive in the face of their bullying tactics. In my case, the event was not canceled because it involved a panel in which I was the only target of hate, and much of the audience was there to hear what the liberals had to say. I was thus able to turn the tables on what amounted to a captive audience, using my allotted time to confront their hypocrisy.

My chastisements, of course, had zero effect because woke liberals are, to use a term from the criminal justice lexicon, incorrigible. And that’s the key fact to remember in looking for policy solutions to woke fascism. These people can’t be reformed by logic or reason, and will never stop demanding conformity of the world to their ideology, so the only practical means of restoring and preserving civil discourse without resorting to authoritarian suppression of one side or the other is to defang all such zealots by strengthening and aggressively enforcing equal access free speech codes in all public venues, including meaningful punishments for anti-speech bullies. We must restore our national commitment to freedom of speech and thought, and renew our conviction that free and open debate is the best remedy for bad ideas.

When the dean of Stanford Law, Jenny Martinez, issued an apology (and affirmation of the school’s commitment to free speech) to Judge Duncan, the woke mob went after her as well, lining the hall outside her office and creating what one observer called a “gauntlet” and “walk of shame” through which she was forced to pass. One hopes both Judge Duncan and Dean Martinez will have been awakened by their ordeal to the urgency of the need for campus speech policy reform.

For their part, the cagey law students countered the free-speech argument by contending that the “heckler’s veto” is also a free-speech right deserving of protection. To a point, I would agree with them. I’ve heckled a few deserving speakers in my time – though never to the point of shutting down their event. But to the Stanford mob my counter is that free-speech protocols are venue-specific, and the way to oppose any group’s speaker event to their own members and guests is to wait for the Q&A and offer your opinions then, hold your own speaker’s counter-event, and/or to hold a debate with both sides equally represented.

Fascists don’t and won’t respect such guidelines, so it falls to the rest of us, on both sides of the political spectrum to institute policies that preserve the right of all to be heard when it’s their time to speak, and to ensure all have the equal opportunity to avail themselves of this right without fear of cancellation or bullying. If we can’t restore that, the American dream is dead.

* Footnote: [Interestingly, in our San Francisco depositions of city officials (in 2004), they insisted on the record that posting the text of Proposition 22 on the same employee bulletin board would constitute grounds for termination. Prop 22 was literally state law, passed in 2000, defining marriage as exclusively one man and one woman – again by popular vote on a citizen ballot initiative. And, coincidentally, that deposition coincided with then San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom’s press conference in which (in a shameless display of political pandering which eventually propelled him into the governorship) he falsely claimed authority to “legalize” same-sex marriage by executive order. I watched that media circus live as a part of the crowd at City Hall. We soon filed a Writ of Mandamus against him for that, which was denied, though legal action by others succeeded in reversing it as outside the scope of his authority.]

This past week one of the last loose-ends from the 2020 election coup was tied up by the conspirators: the neutralizing of Jenna Ellis, arguably the most effective of the Trump attorneys who sought justice for the American electorate in the courts. The media widely but falsely reported that she admitted to lying about the election in a deal she made with the State Bar of Colorado to keep her law license.

What seems to the general public to be a slam-dunk victory for the “cleanest election in US history” choir (filthy scoundrels all) was in fact the administrative equivalent of a plea-bargain in which an innocent party facing certain defeat in court admits to a lesser charge and consequence to avoid a much harsher sentence. We’ve all seen how this works in Hollywood courtroom dramas and Ellis is a real life example. There was no way the leftist Colorado Bar Association and courts were going to let her get away with challenging the election results. Per a 2020 post-game wrap-up by KDVR in Denver “Tuesday night was a good night for Democrats across Colorado. Democrats now control the governor’s office, the state House, the state Senate …Hickenlooper’s win also gives Democrats control of both Colorado U.S. Senate seats in addition to their 4-3 advantage in the U.S. House.”

You get the picture, but an apparently fair-minded judge bucked the leftist mob to broker a compromise (censure, not disbarment) so she wouldn’t lose her license to practice. In any case, what she signed was in no way an admission that she “lied” – a point she vigorously argued on Twitter after the fact:

“The politically-motivated Left failed miserably in their attempt to destroy me. They’re now trying to falsely discredit me by saying I admitted I lied. That is FALSE. I would NEVER lie. Lying requires INTENTIONALLY making a false statement. I never did that, nor did I stipulate to or admit that.”

As a fellow attorney, allow me to paraphrase what I believe she meant to say but can’t: “To keep my license I was forced by the politics of a Democrat ‘kangaroo court’ to admit to ‘misrepresentation’ of certain official conclusions of the government which are now deemed to be ‘facts’ (which doesn’t mean they are actually true).” That’s the nuanced but principled lawyerly logic behind both her action and her post-plea-bargain statement that preserved both her license and her personal integrity.

Let me add my own un-parsed perspective here on behalf of Ellis (whom I have never met nor communicated with) and every other Trump defender in America who is constrained by politics and the risk of severe punishment. TRUMP WON the 2020 election by an overwhelming majority. We all know it, despite the relentless narrative-spinning, witness intimidation and criminal cover-ups by our corrupt government and media.

To eject Trump from the White House, the American Uniparty and its globalist allies around the world orchestrated the largest and most extensive campaign of fraud in the history of the world: the Purple Revolution. Their multi-faceted, multi-stage conspiracy included and integrated

• the Russian Collusion Hoax,

• two back-to-back baseless Impeachments,

• the genocidal global Covid-19 Plandemic (with all its many sub-components including lockdowns and coerced “immunizations” with poison),

• the creation of massive new election fraud infrastructure (including neutralization of election-safeguards by corrupt courts and legislatures, universal mail-out balloting and harvesting, Zuckerbucks, and unmonitored leftist-controlled ballot counting processes),

• the de-facto takeover of Big Tech by deep-state Intelligence agencies for use as censorship and propaganda machinery,

• the outrageous staging of the J6 “insurrection” (to prevent a vote to postpone certification pending congressional investigation, which made Mike Pence’s treason in certifying the false Biden presidency all the more heinous),

• and the post-election intentional triggering (through un-ignorable provocation of Russia) of the Ukraine War as a cover-up-facilitator and foreign distraction from the domestic fallout to the coup.

But despite ALL of that, Trump won in a landslide and a steadily increasing percentage of the public openly admits it.

I’ve had my disagreements with President Trump – mostly regarding “Operation Warp Speed” and his endorsement of some aspects of the LGBT agenda. But despite these very serious policy flaws Donald Trump is by far the best candidate we have to overthrow the deep state and bring the real America back from the abyss.

But more than that, TRUMP WON! America already owes him four more years in the White House and, like any other robbery victim, he doesn’t legally or morally have to win another election to claim his “property.” If our Supreme Court were not so politically controlled by the Purple Uniparty (shamefully rejecting on ambiguous procedural grounds all the many merit-filled lawsuits) the false certification of Biden would have been nullified long ago, the election coup and its many components would already have been fully reversed and overturned, and President Trump would perhaps by this time be watching re-runs of the post-trial public hangings of the traitors on a restored-to-actual-journalism CNN.

Circumstances being what they are in today’s lawless America, Trump does have to run again. But now the tables are turning because the lies of the left are unraveling. The heroic MAGA contingent in the House of Representatives is documenting the truth on multiple fronts simultaneously. The J6 video footage is debunking the insurrection narrative. Various Plandemic crimes, conspiracies and conspirators (including the rat Fauci) are being exposed. The media is beginning to cover damning truths on Hunter’s “Laptop from Hell.” And Elon Musk is restoring Twitter to a free-speech platform where the hard facts about all these matters are being paraded before the panicked eyes of the leftist elite. Suddenly, Obiden and all his minions are on the defensive as more and more, on topic after topic, people are saying “Trump was right” and demanding accountability.

For the sake of their own political futures and the rescue of the world from globalist tyranny, DeSantis and the rest of the Republican primary field should ceremoniously stand down, forcefully condemn the coup-criminals, and endorse Trump’s already-earned second term unequivocally. The primary season should be treated as a time of war-time national coalescence behind Trump and getting a massive head-start on assembling the most extensive “get-out-the-vote” army in US history, with DeSantis and other worthy contenders serving as the Eisenhowers, Pattons and MacArthurs of that effort.

Whether or not that happens, Jenna Ellis remains a national heroine despite her plea-bargain. And Donald Trump remains the (as-yet uncertified) President of the United States with four more years to serve, pending the upcoming eviction of the present White House squatter.

Amongst the progressive herd of woke sacred cows, none is more exalted than homosexuality, and there’s no better indicator of that truth than the LGBT movement’s “pride of place” in the wokeness “holiday” calendar.

Black History Month gets the frozen wasteland of February (the shortest month being the “short end of the stick” as it were). Women get March (the month of dirty slush and abortive false-spring disappointments). But the gays and trannies get June for “Gay Pride Month” – the best of summer, lush, green and bursting with life: the month of vacations in the sun and lots of sporting events showcasing the gloating superiority of “trans women” over natural women and girls.

June is, of course, the month most optimal for parades – and parade they do. Indeed, the “gay pride” parades are the high point of the woke year – and everyone on the left is expected – nay, required – to attend. It is the ultimate test of virtue – the woke equivalent of a pilgrimage to Mecca – with the highest virtue-signaling scores going to those who bring their children to cavort with the drag queens and leather fetishists. The woke media cover these celebrations like they were V-E Day in Times Square (1945) – and in a very real sense, they are.

Few recognize that these “gay pride” parades are, literally, celebrations of martial power in the tradition of conquering armies flaunting plunder taken from defeated foes. Not kinetic wars but cultural ones: not captured armor and artifacts but captured people and their cultural symbolism. The floats and finery of these processions accentuate a cavalcade of cultural appropriations: the trans appropriation of the emblems of femininity and feminism, the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” appropriation of Catholic imagery, the “welcoming and affirming” contingents of pseudo-Christians’ appropriation of Protestant imagery, etc. – and above all of them flies the rainbow flag, stolen in the 1980s from the Black Panthers and Jesse Jackson’s “Rainbow Coalition.” Each contingent of Boy Scouts, soldiers and sailors, cops, civil servants, business and community groups represent the conquest of a former secular foe to the LGBT agenda being marched, hook-jawed like the Assyrian captives of old before cow-eyed masses awed by “gay” supremacy.

And of course, beyond the scope of the parade context, every church, government building, corporation or sports team that flies the rainbow flag is acknowledging its conquest by the LGBTs. Importantly, they’re not flying the flags of “Women’s Pride,” “Black Pride,” “Hispanic Pride,” or any other “Pride” flags in anything other than temporary token acknowledgment of their ownership by the herd. It’s only the Gay Pride flag that has priority and permanence.

When it comes to dividing the plunder of cultural conquest it’s always “one for you, and two for me.” That’s how, in addition to ALL of June, the LGBTs also get ALL of October for “Gay History Month.” Again, not just any month, but the premium month of the fall season and, most importantly, the first full month of the new school year – when America’s children have finally gotten past the September squirms and settled in to the rigors and rhythms of the new school year.

They’re then optimally ready to be immersed in all-things “gay” in every academic subject and social event, for regurgitation “in their own words” through the rest of the school year – the first major test with high social credit value being “coming out to your parents” on Thanksgiving in November. (The dress rehearsal for that is, of course, “Coming Out Day,” Oct 11, when the entire student body gets to witness the dispensation of special status and privilege by the faculty, administration and already “out” peers to those who “bravely choose to self-identify as ‘gay’ or ‘trans.'”)

My point in this article is to show that the woke herd of sacred cows is not and has never been a “coalition of equals” but an LGBT stable of assets. Radical feminists were useful to them in politically neutralizing white straight men from the 1950s through the 2015 defeat of the exclusivity of heterosexual marriage, and then they were immediately labeled TERFs (trans-exclusionary radical feminists) and targeted for political destruction when the cutting edge of the agenda shifted to trans-sexuality.

Black figureheads were especially useful to them from the 1980s to the present as the political equivalent of “offensive lineman” (relative to LGBT quarterbacking) in the long campaign to socially engineer special rights for “gays” under civil rights law. But, again, “Blackness” now offers NO social credit if you’re not 100% pro-LGBT (e.g., Justice Clarence Thomas). To ensure total LGBT control, the leadership of Black Lives Matter was assigned to a pair of black lesbians, and “hetero-normative” icon Bill Cosby was preemptively taken out politically (pre-Ferguson) so as not to interfere. To quash all doubt of who called the shots, the second defining act of BLM was to launch the black-trans agenda in parallel to the war against cops.

Very soon we’re all going to be subjected to another tsunami of relentless, nauseating LGBT propaganda during “Gay Pride Month.” We can’t stop it (yet), but we can do better at pushing back than we have in the past. I am challenging every normal-thinking person reading this article to take on this task in your own way, and to begin preparing today. (Start by forwarding this article to your friends.)

The LGBT movement is built on a foundation of lies, and I believe its greatest vulnerability is the plain, documented truth about its history, goals, strategies and actions. My co-author Kevin Abrams and I proved this hypothesis when we thwarted the “gay” attempt to “culturally appropriate” (hijack) the Holocaust in the 1990s. Our book “The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party” (First Edition, 1995), which was taken up as a sword against the “Gay Holocaust” fraud by a national network of Orthodox Jewish rabbis, stopped that effort cold.

But the greater benefit of this book is its extensive documentation of the Nazi roots of the American LGBT movement. My plan for “pride month” this year is to bring “The Pink Swastika” out of mothballs and promote its truths in an advertising campaign for the book. I’ve started my own bookstore for this purpose (because it’s aggressively banned virtually everywhere else) and have just accepted delivery of the first reprint of the Fourth Edition in 20 years. I’m not selling it for personal enrichment but to use 100% of the sales to fund an educational campaign about the ugly true history of the LGBT agenda, especially to the America First movement, which has encouragingly taken up the fight under the “anti-grooming” banner, but which is still mostly ignorant of the nuclear bombshell truths exhaustively documented in “The Pink Swastika” (using unimpeachable mainstream and LGBT sources). To help me in my campaign, please buy some books here or email me at sdllaw@protonmail.com to arrange to make a non-tax-deductible gift. (I’d also like tips on where to advertise and who might help promote the campaign for free.)

It’s time to take an ax to the Nazi roots of the groomer trees, but first they need to be exposed.

More and more as the woke Western world sinks deeper into the quicksand of quioxity (or, if you prefer, the tar pit of trans-lunacy), my thoughts turn to the great cultural savior of the 1970s: Dirty Harry.

As has been true in so many ways, fictional Harry’s true-to-life California – the land of fruits and nuts – led the U.S., and thus the world, in democracy’s first embrace of total wokeness in the matter of criminal justice. Long before the loosey-goosey liberalization of our election laws allowed the “cemetery vote” to sleazily slide sanctimonious Soros saboteurs into the seats of judicial power in our deep blue cities, 1960s California, most particularly the cesspool of San Francisco, showed liberals how to destroy the social order through judicial permissiveness.

How utterly shocked and outraged the criminal class became when into this lawless hell strode the vigilante-with-a-badge Clint Eastwood, with his cold-eyed disgusted snarl and massive Smith and Wesson model 29 revolver.

“I know what you’re thinking: ‘Did he fire six shots or only five?’ Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I’ve kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky?’ Well, do you, punk? … Go ahead, make my day.”

That scene so perfectly embodied the fantasies of a fed-up nation that it rocketed the already famous Eastwood to the pinnacle of Hollywood celebrity, spawned three block-buster sequels and marked the beginning of a cultural swing toward the law-and-order right that would reach its apogee in the infamous “three strikes” laws and other sometimes pitiless policies (the opposite extreme).

Dirty Harry epitomizes the phenomenon of over-correction in human society. He emerged full-blown at the terminus of the swing to the far left and rode the pendulum all the way to the far right – disappearing as a character when his reason for existing ended. And then, after the zeal for a more punitive version of justice became institutionalized to the benefit of the cops and prosecutors (and some of them, per human nature, abused that advantage), there arose the Antifa/Black Lives Matter tag-team: the “Dirty Harry” of organized crime. Not one man, but a movement. Not a Hollywood movie, but violent street theater with burning squad cars and government office buildings – and the corpses of “extras” and bystanders as props.

“Hard cases make bad law” is an axiom among common-sense lawmakers – because the emotion of the moment, stirred up by an otherwise rare or “outlier” event, can override prudence and proportionality in crafting public policy – imposing new laws that go too far in restricting the rights of the majority on issues like the Second Amendment, for example. Activists on both sides of the political spectrum, but especially the “progressive left” (whose very identity is defined by their agenda to change things in contrast to the “conservative” desire to “conserve” the status quo) LOVE hard cases for that very reason. And the leftist puppet-masters steering society for their own purposes stand ready to exploit and maximize the political currency of those hard cases whenever they occur, and sometimes outright stage them (e.g. Charlottesville, the Whitmer “kidnaping” and J6).

As a Christian social activist and attorney, I have long studied this phenomenon from the front lines of the culture war. Thus when the Black Lives Matter army was first being publicly mobilized in Ferguson, I instantly connected the dots to why, mystifyingly, “America’s Dad” Bill Cosby (white America’s most respected black celebrity who singularly dared to tell black youths to “pull up your pants” and stop acting like thugs), had suddenly been “taken off the board” just prior to the riots, based on 30-year-old “me too” allegations. My 2014 article “Bad Moon on the Rise: Bill Cosby, Ferguson and Obama” details my analysis of that. Tellingly, the elites only let him out of jail after the 2020 coup was completed, at which time I published an evidence-rich follow-up piece, “The Cosby Conspiracy.”

Then, in 2018, during my second run for governor of Massachusetts, from my apartment/campaign office overlooking the Worcester Common, I happened to hear leftist anti-gun rhetoric being spouted over a bullhorn one day and went down to discover Parkland school-shooting celebrity David Hogg (the Greta Thunberg of the American gun-grab lobby) launching a 50-mile “March (Marx) for Our Lives” toward the Smith and Wesson factory in Springfield. I met them at the end, joining a pro-2A rally, pointing out in a media interview there that this was another example of leftists exploiting rare “hard cases” to strip Americans of constitutional rights, something that has become automatic on the part of leftist politicians at every gun-related media-circus-enhanced mega-crime.

Thankfully, I was nowhere near the ultimate example of “hard case” extortion: the George Floyd incident, which featured the deliberate unjust crucifixion of police officers as a side-show to the riots. But even now, two years later the pendulum has still not completed its leftward arc, which fact is ominous and disturbing, because the more polarized a society becomes, and the more jingoistic the people at the opposite poles get, the wider and wilder are the swings to the extremes. This time, the overcorrect-become-tyranny of the left has gone so far into the realm of orchestrated chaos – and sadistic punishment/humiliation of the normies and their children – that the developing fantasy of the right isn’t for a no-nonsense street cop. They want a more potent avenger with sights on the higher-ups, whose crimes include mass-enslavement and conspiracy to commit genocide.

The new Dirty Harry (still vigilante-ish but hopefully constrained by the law he seeks to restore) will need a bigger gun and a bolder plan of action. It won’t be enough for this Harry to “put the ‘punk’ perps in prison.” Higher-up heads must, literally, roll as in guillotines and execution swords. We’re taking a growing “French Revolutionary” fervor here that will require justice on a scale proportionate to the crimes – a Nuremberg II followed by public executions like the first Nuremberg did – or the mob will take their own vengeance.

But the elites recognize this too. Their figurehead middle-manager rats like Fauci and Wojcicki (the CEO of YouTube) see the first torches and pitchforks coming down the shoreline and are fleeing the ship, while their bosses, from their island redoubts off the coast prepare to deploy every dystopian police-state tactic ever invented, and some new ones that emerging technology makes possible. That’s really why we’re on the verge of World War III and in the early stages of a culling of humanity: Our nascent revolution is an existential threat to them and must be crushed at all cost!

We may be past the point of no return in the collapse of civilization, but if there is any hope for recovery and restoration (from the sub-spiritual perspective of the world), it will likely be by the hand of today’s real-life Dirty Harry, Donald Trump – if they don’t kill him first, or convince him to switch sides like he did on the fake vaccine and so-called “gay marriage.”

More likely it’s going to be our heads that roll (Revelation 6:9, 20:4) while we wait for the true Savior: not Dirty Harry or Don, but Immaculate Jesus whose second coming (Revelation 19:11-21) is “to judge and make war.”

Across the world, from the dawn of civilization, humanity has shared self-evident universal rights such as the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, given to us by our Creator. These are inherent, unalienable natural rights implicit in the natural order of things, independent of the religious and cultural differences of the human race.

The right of a man and woman to marry and bear children to love and nurture is universal, as is the right of all children to be raised by a mom and a dad in a natural family setting. Families have the natural right to guide and protect their children, raising them as they see fit, and to form communities with other families for mutual security and prosperity. Communities have the natural right to control the policies they deem necessary to thrive, to defend themselves from outside interference and to form alliances with other communities as states. My summary of natural rights may be read here.

Fundamental to all of these natural rights is the right of self-determination – each person being deemed by virtue of his or her individual creation by God as a person with unique identity, value and purpose. Thus all humans are equal stakeholders in all aspects of human civilization, especially the process of establishing laws affecting them as individuals, families, communities and states. This perspective of human rights is the premise of America and the essence of its genuine exceptionalism that made it a beacon of liberty for 400 years: exceptional in its aspirations if not always its implementations.

In opposition to natural rights, especially the collective right to delegate limited power to governing authorities, is the concept that “might makes right” by which those with the wealth and power to enforce their will on others assume an entitlement to do so. This is the eternal struggle of humanity from Nimrod to the World Economic Forum. The ocean of humanity had ever frothed with waves of tyranny and overthrow until the revolution that birthed the American island, unique in history, blessed with the firm fertile soil of a constitutional republic undergirded by the solid foundation of the Christian Bible (as understood by Christians with a first-century Hebraic mindset).

Yet, thanks to the success of Atheistic Marxism as a competitor to/corruptor of the Bible-based religions that formerly dominated the world, the American vision of a Shining City on a Hill has been suppressed. The “mighty” now rule mankind with a tighter grip than ever before, and what they will for us is a single global government under their exclusive control, with no regard for life and liberty, and a new definition of “happiness” that might seem to some to be just the same old slavery with high-tech shackles, but is actually far worse. Their vision is to extinguish the natural order and replace it with a transhumanist “Utopia” populated by a new, “improved” version of human beings which they will, literally, create in laboratories through genetics, robotics and artificial intelligence. What seems like dystopian science fiction is in fact an emerging scientific reality in its early to middle stages, backed by the most powerful forces in the world.

Julio Severo and I were fellow culture warriors for many years in the battle for defending true marriage and the natural family. We met just after he had taken his young family into exile from his native Brazil to escape persecution by the Marxist criminal Lula, who was infuriated that Julio had helped the Evangelical Caucus in the Brazilian legislature to stop a bill that would have criminalized “homophobia” (i.e., disapproval of the homosexual political agenda). In revenge, Lula attempted to jail Julio for refusing to vaccinate his children, forcing him to leave the country. (Now returned to power in an OBiden-backed Marxist coup, Lula has made vaccine tyranny the centerpiece of his administration.) Julio twice recruited me to go to Brazil to carry on his work with the pro-family network there, but both trips got canceled for scheduling problems. I in turn recruited him to fill in for me on a pro-family mission trip to Russia, which he did.

In May of 2021, Julio died unexpectedly, leaving a widow and seven small children who were technically “illegals” in their country of exile. When I learned of this, my ministry took on the task of providing for Julio’s family financially and continuing our shared mission to defend natural rights around the world. (Give to either cause here using the donor option list).

Out of that commitment came the decision to establish the Institute for Natural Rights in Julio’s name but with a new approach reflecting the practical realities his own life exemplified.

The situation in America today is looking more and more like that of Julio’s Brazil and frankly like the Roman military dictatorship of the first generation of Christians. Our list of options for pushback is shrinking while the tyrants gain increasing power to crush our resistance, and so, at least as a contingency measure, one strategy for the believers must be to create “sanctuary cities” for the righteous to flee to. A more positive characterization of this is to create the political/cultural equivalent of “nature preserves” in the form of natural communities where natural families can freely exercise their natural rights. And while there is still conservative control of numerous U.S. states, laws should be passed formally protecting the right to establish such communities and codifying the natural rights its residents may establish as their community policies – such as affirmatively normalizing natural family values in their public schools and banning all forms of LGBT propaganda and activism.

There are precedents for this approach (generally speaking) in the Amish communities, Sharia-based Muslim enclaves, and various religious and/or “hippie” communes over the past century. And, frankly, the pursuit of legal protections for Sanctuary City “nature preserves” should involve not just Christians, but a broad coalition of those who embrace natural rights (under Christian leadership as its initiators). Transhumanism is a threat to ALL humanity, and the natural rights we’re trying to preserve truly are universal outside of the tiny minority (globally speaking) of “Secular Humanists” trained to reject them. Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, even nature-loving secular environmentalists should be with us on this! And, a working coalition on those terms (in agreement on at least 80% of our social crises) could conceivably go further and overthrow the entire transhumanist agenda by sheer power of numbers once it had been seasoned in the fight for the natural order against forced artificiality.

For now, we, like the Jerusalem Jews under Nehemiah, need to keep a sword in one hand for fighting those who would enslave, us while wielding a trowel with the other to build life-affirming sanctuaries behind solid defensive walls, while there is still time to do so.
