The Post-Election Reckoning: Seven Steps to Restore the Republic 11/15/2020

This article is also published at WND.COM here.

I’ve got some bad news for people hoping that America goes “back to normal” after this election. For better or worse our country will never be the same. Worse news is that IF the deep state manages to defeat Trump we will enter a season of intense “ideological cleansing” when every value we constitutionalists hold dear will be attacked like never before, and conservative leaders and “influencers” will be suppressed, “cancelled” and punished as savagely as the “moderates” in the ruling elites will permit. Antifa storm troopers may be put back in their cage for a while, but BLM with its “critical race theory” agenda certainly won’t, and Big Tech and Big Media will remain the primary tools for defining “reality” to the sizable plurality of the public who can’t think for themselves. Their monopoly and censorship tactics will be institutionalized at the expense of what remains of the First, Second, Fourth, Ninth and Tenth Amendments.

Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security by the voices claiming the Democrats have been neutered by stunning losses in the Congress and other down-ballot races. If the policy direction of the left was truly dictated by public opinion then we would never have “drifted” so far to the left over the past century. Instead, the Marxist left has ALWAYS pursued its “tide of history” dogma and strategy, in which the fulfilment of their narratives is assumed to be as inevitable as the rising sun, and public opinion is something to be conformed to those narratives through propaganda, psychological manipulation, and incremental policy changes. There has never been any “drift” in this process: the Marxists have always had a largely unseen but constant grip on the cultural rudder. Public resistance only influences the speed of transformation.

The two party system (in which the same elites – e.g. Bush and Clinton — own the establishment of both sides) plays a big part in this. When they think they can get away with rapid change, the elites shift up to Democrat, such as when George HW Bush intentionally lost to Bill Clinton in 1992. When the public starts to squirm with discomfort, they downshift to Republican and coast for a while – in the same direction, of course – until the public gets acclimated to the new normal, such as occurred under George W.. Then came massive acceleration under Obama, against whom Romney and McCain were (like Bob Dole before them) token opponents chosen to “take a dive” in their respective races while showcasing the “inadequacy of conservatism in the face of progressive values.”

But megalomaniac Obama went too fast, triggering a political backlash that spawned the Tea Party rebellion in 2009, which grew into global populist counter-revolution, and culminated in Brexit and the election of Donald Trump in ‘16. And in their panic ever since, the entire Marxist machine has been devoted to driving Trump out by any possible means.

Everything truly hangs on Trump. If he is removed, we face persecution domestically and the completion of the transition to global government internationally. If he wins, we have a continuation of the reprieve God granted to us in 2016.

This summary confronts us with two inescapable truths. A) Marxism and Constitutionalism are contradictory and mutually exclusive ideologies: one must prevail at the expense of the other and peaceful co-existence is impossible. B) America’s polarization has reached its zenith and “civil war” (with or without some degree of armed struggle) is inevitable.

What then must constitutionalists do if/when Donald Trump’s re-election is confirmed? The obvious but uncomfortable answer is we must purge the Marxists from the seats of power in all of our institutions – as gently but firmly as possible, but without hesitation or compromise. If we do not begin that immediately and continue doggedly until the nation is fully restored to constitutionalism, then the cancer of Marxism will come back just as surely as Hebrew half-measures against Canaanite demonology allowed it grow back until it overwhelmed the spiritual/cultural immune system of the nation of ancient Israel.

This is OUR COUNTRY bequeathed to us individually and collectively on the condition that we preserve it in the form in which it was created: A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.

Thus, I urge seven steps to restore the peoples’ sovereignty during Trump’s second term:

1. Immediate enforcement of the laws of sedition and treason against all the co-conspirators in the 2020 Election Fraud Coup (which logically includes all of the core players behind the Russian Collusion Hoax – we don’t need Deep-State-Durham).
2. Legislation imposing regulations on all news journalism – as opposed to opinion journalism – imposing strict requirements that ensure fair and balanced coverage in which all significant parties with a clear interest in the public perception of issues and controversies are represented in terms that accurately represent their perspectives: every story, every time or clearly label it an editorial.
3. Legislation imposing similar standards on public education institutions, administrators and faculty, with additional components to, first, ensure that the topics and perspectives most heavily censored in the past receive special attention to overcome accumulated bias, and, second, impose swift disciplinary action including dismissal of those who defy the regulations. Again, this would mandate balance, not a switch to new forms of one-sided propaganda.
4. Anti-trust action against Big Tech organizations to break their monopolistic stranglehold, in combination with…
5. Nationalization of the Internet as a public resource comparable to National Parks and subject to the same types of laws and policies that ensure it is used and managed in the public interest, consistent with the Bill of Rights.
6. Abolishment of public employee unions.
7. Establishment of a stringent uniform mandatory constitutional literacy exam to graduate high school, including a working knowledge of the writings and culture of the founding fathers, using primary sources, and age appropriate preparatory competency and tracking exams in each lower grade.

These steps can begin the restoration of the republic if we have the boldness to pursue them.

Trump Justice Coming Like a Thunderbolt 11/11/2020

When the Obergefell v Hodges “gay marriage” ruling came down in 2015, Obama said “justice arrives like a thunderbolt.” But, of course, nothing that defies the law of God is just, and Obama is a liar. Indeed, it can be said of Obama and all his election-stealing partners and their minions that they epitomize what Jesus said in John 8:44: “They] belong to [their] father, the devil, and [they] want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.”

Lying is the language that Big Media and Big Tech has been speaking almost exclusively since Trump became president: deliberate falsehoods, misrepresentations, distractions, diversions, suppression of dissent, amplification of false witnesses, accusations that truth-tellers are guilty of exactly the crimes they themselves are committing, and multi-faceted, multi-dimensional coordination of this campaign within a vast network of co-conspirators. We are literally witnessing corruption of Biblical proportions.

Nothing the Devil does is creative. He can only spin counterfeit alternatives to what God has created, and try to preempt God’s plan by putting his counterfeit out first, like Obama did.

BUT there is true “justice that arrives like a thunderbolt” on its way in the American culture war. And it’s about to strike!

Just this morning, former CIA intelligence analyst and strong Trump supporter Larry C Johnson has published a highly persuasive article suggesting that Bill Barr is about to bring the hammer down on the crooks behind the election fraud. Conservatives have grown increasingly frustrated with Barr over the past months for what they perceive as a reluctance to take action on the obvious “alleged” criminal conduct of the anti-Trump conspirators. I agree, it would have been helpful politically for indictments to have come down on numerous individuals involved in the now-exposed conspiracy to defraud the FISA court and to sabotage the Trump administration. BUT, that may be the exact reason why they haven’t happened … yet.

If the Justice Department is to tackle the biggest politically-motivated criminal conspiracy in American history, it cannot itself be tainted with the perception of political bias in the administration of justice. Of course, nothing will prevent the left from insisting that the prosecution of their fellow travelers is political, but whatever fairminded people are left in this country will almost certainly consider Bill Barr’s refusal to bring charges before the election as a pretty solid defense to that charge.

There’s also the reality of the “prosecutor worldview” which the public doesn’t easily grasp. Veteran prosecutors who handle big criminal conspiracy cases – like Rudy Giuliani did in Mafia-controlled New York City in the 1980s – live in a world where there’s usually just one chance to cast their net, and so they want to ensure they catch as many co-conspirators as possible when they finally pull the trigger. As soon as they act, the whole network scatters like roaches into cracks and holes where they start destroying evidence as fast as possible.

Prosecutors also want the net to include the top crooks, who are usually masters at ensuring there is minimal evidence of their involvement. Getting the goods on them takes time.

In the matter of the Great Election Theft of 2020, the conspiracy is much, much bigger than what the Durham investigation uncovered, and it’s ultimate object – the theft of the presidency by voter fraud – needed to play out to fruition, which was technically today, November 12th, the last day (in North Carolina) of late vote counting of all the Democrat vote-by-mail counting extensions.

Today the conspiratorial effort – the crime itself — is complete as to the evidence of voter fraud in all of its myriad forms. There is certainly evidence still uncovered, but all the actors have played their parts, the crime is done, and it’s just a matter of tying the case together in one package. There will be additional crimes related to the inevitable cover-up and damage control efforts of individual conspirators, but as of now, the waiting game is over for the Justice Department.

There’s another aspect of this I want to highlight, and that is the “shock and awe” strategy of Donald Trump when it comes to proving his case to the public. I first explained it in my article “President Trump’s October Surprise Party” relating to the Hunter Biden laptop scandals.

It works like this: First came the prediction of a MOAB (mother of all bombs) about to fall on the enemy (i.e. the announcement that Hunters personal laptop – filled with shocking material – was in the Trump team’s possession). Then a series of single-bite, lesser impact breaking stories hit one after the other like the first drops of rain in an imminent massing thunderstorm. These were bait to start all the leftist pundits jumping to Hunter’s defense on the grounds that the evidence was weak and meritless. Then, once all their necks were in the noose, the storm clouds opened and the deluge began. All they could do was seek cover while pretending the storm was a hoax.

Then came the coup de grace in the form of photos and videos so shocking and salacious they drew every eye in America to see the evidence for themselves – exposing the leftist media and tech giants as liars literally caught in the act.

Trump has set them all up again with the election fraud scandal: first a MOAB in the form of a vague but grand voter-fraud conspiracy theory, then a dribble of lesser pieces of evidence to lure in the spin-masters, then just in the past couple of days, the storm clouds have begun to open up. The deluge has just started. Mark my words, this storm will be huge and lots of bad guys are going to be held accountable for their crimes and their lies.

So pop some corn, warm your feet by the fireplace (all ablaze with the burning ruins of the traitorous Fox News Corporation), and snuggle in for the lightning show of a lifetime. Justice – true justice – is about to arrive like a thunderbolt.

Why SCOTUS Will Vindicate Trump’s Victory

The United States is a constitutional republic with limited democratic components but is not a democracy. While both forms of government are systems of citizen self-rule, pure democracy means majority rule in all things. Sounds great until you find yourself shipwrecked on Cannibal Island just in time for the vote on who to eat for dinner, or (similarly) you’re a certain presidential candidate illegally locked out of the vote counting process in heavily Democrat majority cities with proven histories of election fraud.

In contrast, our constitutional republic vests its authority in the legal principles established by God in the Bible which had been elucidated and codified in British Common Law over centuries and were expressly adopted by our founders in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The electoral college, the allocation of representation in congress, laws protecting election integrity, and our right to petition government with our grievances about these matters are all rooted in those legal principles.

It is this body of principles that define the Rule of Law and distinguishes it from the Rule of Man. It is essentially the difference between the Will of God and the Will of Man: a truth reflected in John Adam’s famous assertion, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

The Rule of Man, however, follows only one principle — that “Might Makes Right,” and it defines “right” by whatever the ruling power wants it to be.

Thus, in America, the Rule of Law is NOT about “following statutes” that have been established by the governing authorities, since statutes merely codify the will of the powerful and do not necessarily comport with the legal principles of the constitution.

This brings me to the matter of Democrat-controlled states “legalizing” universal ballot mail-outs, and post-election day acceptance of ballots. I am firmly convinced that the main purpose of this change was to increase the number of “unclaimed” ballots available to be “harvested” by the Democrat voter fraud machines in the swing states.

Obviously, this is a “conspiracy theory” in the truest sense of the word, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. I (along with millions of my fellow constitutionalists), am in fact alleging conspiracy.

Now, in response to this well founded theory, and the ever growing body of evidence in support of it, much has been made by critics of the president that the evidence is not sufficient to prove that election fraud was committed.

As an attorney, I believe that it is, but purely for the sake of argument, let’s say they’re right. My answer is “So what?” This isn’t (at this stage) a criminal trial where we must prove our case “beyond a reasonable doubt” or even establish “clear and convincing evidence.” We need only establish sufficient evidence to justify an official investigation. Everyone should be familiar with this very low standard because it was used to justify the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate President Trump in the Russian Collusion Hoax. His enemies had far less proof of criminal conspiracy (in fact zero proof) than we have now against the Democrats.

Frankly, investigations for criminal conspiracy usually must proceed on limited evidence because of the secretive nature of this type of crime.

In Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Milwaukee and other voter fraud crime scenes the left clearly believe they can get away with their ballot stuffing by ensuring no-one can get close enough to witness what they’re actually doing in the counting rooms. And they may or may not be correct as to individual culpability on a case by case basis, because of the standards of proof in the courtroom.

But what we want at this point (at the very least) is not a conviction of individuals but the electoral equivalent of a mistrial – the legal requirement for that being merely “serious procedural error or misconduct” generally. That standard is met on its face in their refusal to allow meaningful access by pro-Trump observers, in at least one case directly defying a court order.

Additionally, there is a common law legal principle still heavily used in civil tort law that has a corollary in deciding logically whether a conspiracy theory merits investigation. The old legal term for this is the Latin phrase res ipsa loquitur, “the thing speaks for itself.” Or to translate this into the common vernacular “it doesn’t pass the smell test.”

However, as confident as I am that President Trump would win a re-do of the election in these key states, if such were ordered, that would not be the best outcome in this situation because the integrity of the election process itself will be permanently undermined if the bad policies at issue are not struck down. Least helpful would be recounts, which can not stop this particular type of fraud because the mail-in ballots have been separated from the envelopes they arrived in which bear the only identifying information about the voters. Yes, you can show the envelope is “from” a dead person but that doesn’t help in adjusting the vote tally either way.)

The best outcome (which I expect to occur) would be the simple invalidation of all ballots received after the close of the polls on election night. I hope but don’t expect the court to set a clear uniform standard for future elections that minimizes the potential for fraud. Both of these are clearly within the power of the court and consistent with constitutional originalism.

Returning to the problem of the Rule of Man; the most destructive form of it is Communism – purporting to be pure democracy (which is bad enough), but always forced upon nations by violent mobs with no moral or ethical restraint, and ultimately vesting power in a tiny elite of dictatorial tyrants. (Sound familiar?) Reportedly the Democrats are “chastened” by their election losses in Congress attributed to their open advocacy of Communist policies. This notion they’ve “learned their lesson and will govern as moderates” is a GOP establishment head-fake to minimize the significance of a Trump loss. Without SCOTUS intervention for Trump, Harris, Biden and Pelosi would continue in the same direction set by Obama and Clinton as fast as possible – and no-one in the GOP but Trump has the backbone to stop them.

11/7 Update: Biden postpones victory speech after Supreme Court Justice Alito intervenes in Pennsylvania. Planned explosion of violence limited to a single firecracker (I guess the guy was too stoned to check his messages).

Having done all to stand…now VOTE!!

“The days are coming, declares the LORD, when they will no longer say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of Egypt.’ Instead they will say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought and led the descendants of the house of Israel up out of the land of the north and all the other lands to which He had banished them.’ ” Jeremiah 23:7-8

There has never been an election as consequential as this one. The stakes today can only be truly compared to the rebellion against Great Britain as outlined in the Declaration of Independence. Not even the Civil War threatened the United States like the Marxists do today. The worst outcome presented by that conflict was the prospect of two nations instead of one, both claiming and committed to perpetuating the same constitutional republican origins common to both: one freed from the scourge of slavery, the other trending in that direction. But today’s election is the choice to remain a constitutional republic or to trade it for a Marxist state ruled by Socialists and Predatory Corporatists – the China Model created by the Bush and Clinton dynasties and furthered by Obama and Biden.

There has never been a greater champion of our constitutional republic than Donald Trump since the generation of the founders themselves. A man who speaks the truth about the enemies of our nation and its liberties plainly and boldly. A man who has not only kept most of the promises he made while campaigning, but has exceeded them – despite the most aggressive, malicious and relentless campaign to discredit and force him from office ever seen against a president in America.

And there has never been a man more obviously disqualified to lead this nation in all our history than Joe Biden. He is as devious as HW Bush, as sleazy as Bill and Hillary Clinton, and as dishonest and morally corrupt as Barack Obama – none of whom were, as he is, debilitated by rapidly advancing dementia and drowning in multiple emerging heavily documented scandals of the highest criminal import.

Indeed, if it were not for the utterly outrageous and blatant conspiracy to whitewash Joe Biden and demonize Donald Trump by Big Tech, Big Media and the Deep State, Trump would lead the polls 60/40 by now at least.

Big Tech is the new bully on the block and at least has the defense of exercising its “private business” interests – as hypocritical as that argument may be for those who grew their companies on the implied promise of free speech and free networking – (and probably legally actionable based on denials about “shadow banning” and other election interference made under oath to Congress by its leaders).

Big Media, on the other hand – also known as the “legacy media” because of its deep historic role as eyes and ears of the public – relies for its very existence as an industry on the premise that it reports the news to the public honestly and thoroughly. Of course, it’s been a long time since Big Media has been honest and balanced on topics most central to leftist narratives, but they have until Trump always maintained the pretext of impartiality at least, even when such assertions have been ridiculous on their face. Only conservative activists noticed and complained about the bulk of the bias.

Since Trump beat Hillary in ‘16 that pretext has been abandoned, and Big Media has openly campaigned against him for four years, justifying themselves by citing a constantly expanding catalogue of his supposed flaws and “lies.” Their fervency began at a fairly high level and escalated until it passed beyond all reason into abject lunacy, earning the label “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” Trump Derangement Syndrome was just a joke traded among conservatives at first, but not any more. It is now recognized by much of the pubic as a defacto psychological pathology. And it may be the only defense the media can muster – “not guilty by reason of insanity” – when this same public demands legislative limitations on the “freedom of the press” in future election cycle. Unless, of course, they manage to “defeat” Trump at the ballot box, in which case Big Media will simply carry on as the Pravda of the Harris/Obama administration (as soon as they can dump Biden via the 25th Amendment).

I have not changed my belief that Trump will win by a landslide bigger than Reagan – of legally-cast votes. But I am also very wary of the massive voter fraud we all know the Democrats are engaged in (as well as the Bush/Lincoln Project RINOs – don’t forget how corrupt those Democrats in Republican clothing really are and that they have innumerable agents in the permanent bureaucracy too).

Increasingly, it seems the Democrats and RINOs are realizing that Trump will win this election despite their cheating. There’s been a lot of hedging being done this past week by those whose livelihoods most depend on predicting outcomes. The more politically astute among the elites, such as the Witch-Queen Nancy Pelosi, have know this for a long time, and that is why they have been setting the stage for violent insurrection by trying to ensure ambiguity in the outcome past November 4th. The best analysis I have seen on that score is by Roger Stone in a brilliant article published on Halloween – MUST reading for constitutionalists because he identifies the leaders running the anti-Trump effort.

There will undoubtedly be election day dirty tricks by all the usual suspects: polling places being closed for sudden Covid outbreaks in key pro-Trump precincts, violence against people standing in line to vote (by Antifa but blamed on White Supremacists), vandalism of polling locations and supplies on the night before, destruction of completed ballots by previously undeclared Never-Trumper election workers, and on and on.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see a major terror attack on US soil to … instill terror, and keep everyone at home watching the news instead of voting. The Russian Collusion Hoax, the Impeachment Scam, the Plandemic, the Antifa/BLM riot campaign have proven to us that this election is for all the marbles and the globalist left will do ANYTHING to stop Trump.

We, therefore, must do the ONLY thing that can thwart them. We must generate not just a Red Wave, but a RED TSUNAMI that will drown them (politically speaking) like Pharoah’s armies we crushed by the collapsing flood-waters of the Red Sea. Let NOTHING stop you – and everyone you can drive to the polls – from voting Trump!

AMERICA’S PIVOTAL MOMENT

Dear Friend of Liberty,

I’m sending this letter a little early to be sure it hits before election day, November 3rd.  I want to implore you in the strongest terms to cast your vote this election to reelect President Trump. This is not a political desire, it is a Christian moral duty. There has never been as stark a choice in all our history than today and none of the flaws in the fallible man Donald Trump can justify standing back and doing nothing when that choice WILL, not might, result in the permanent leftist takeover of this country. It would be the end of the Republic and beginning of a overtly Marxist state. God has granted us a short window of reprieve to turn back the Marxist revolution against our constitution and the Christian faith it was rooted in. 

As you probably know, the evil champions of the culture of death we have been fighting together through this ministry for over thirty years have abandoned all restraint in their desperation to defeat Trump. Thankfully they have little hope to now to win except by cheating, because they’ve overplayed their hand and alienated the silent majority with all their rioting and the Biden family criminal scandals now being exposed.

BUT, these people are the masters of cheating and might just be able to steal the election that way. However, cheating can only work when an election is close. There just aren’t enough dead people on the voter roles to outnumber actual voters if everyone who’s legally entitiled to vote gets out and votes.

I believe President Trump will win in a landslide of legally cast votes — but I could be wrong.  If the left manages to take him down, I will take that as a sign that the end truly is upon us, and I will shift my ministry focus entirely to evangelism and prophecy. Because if we can’t stop them this time –with a leader who has stood firm on constitutionalism despite attacks beyond anything we’ve ever imagined and a populist/conservative movement that has never been this strong and energized — then we’ll never get another chance.  

 Here is what will happen if we don’t re-elect Trump. 

The hard left will sweep in like a flood. They’ll instantly reverse every conservative policy set in place by Trump, they’ll pack the Supreme Court, they’ll eliminate the filibuster in the Senate, they’ll purge every conservative voice from the public square, prosecute those with the most politically-correct views, further gut and vilify the police forces, establish rigid censorship policies in social media, overflow public education with Marxist policies and training even beyond what they’ve done in the past, put abortion clinics in the high schools, open the borders, close the prisons, confiscate the property of “the rich,” force all non-Blacks to pay “reparations” for slavery, resume the transfer of our manufacturing base to China, indoctrinate children in transgenderism and fully legalize and fund gender reassignment for young children, mandate the entire LGBT agenda as core curriculum in schools and in adult diversity training by public and private employers, ban reparative therapy for unwanted same-sex disorders nationally, and on and on and on until every element of their narratives become the law of the land, backed by lockdowns, cancel-culture punishment of any dissenters and non-stop harassment and scapegoating of Christians and churches. AND, they will use the full power of the US government to Impose all of these policies worldwide, while openly and voluntarily surrendering the sovereignty of America to a new system of global governance.  

THAT is what’s at stake in this election!

“I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants”
