Imagine

 

Ch 2.3 we the people

 
As Benjamin Franklin emerged from Independence Hall at the close of the Constitutional Convention on September 17, 1787, a woman approached and asked him what form of government the Convention had produced. Franklin responded, “A republic, madam—if you can keep it.”
 
Imagine 237 years later in the year 2024 that there is a political system that wants to do away with the Republic form of government and replace it with a democracy where the majority rules. When in the history of mankind has the majority ever been right about anything?

Imagine all your freedoms are cancelled and only majority opinions matter. Imagine all government positions are populated by the majority party. Imagine a nation where the majority's moral compass is superior to all others.

Both the Republican and Democrat parties want to be the majority. Every fours years the American people vote for the lesser of two evils. The current government system is the same bird of prey with "right" and "left'" wings. 
 

I’ll let Attorney John Whitehead take it from here:

Politics has become America's national religion.

While those on the Left have feared a religious coup by evangelical Christians on the Right, the danger has come from an altogether different direction: our constitutional republic has given way to a theocracy structured around the worship of a political savior.

For all intents and purposes, politics has become America’s God.

Pay close attention to the political conventions for presidential candidates, and it becomes immediately evident that Americans have allowed themselves to be brainwashed into worshiping a political idol manufactured by the Deep State.

In a carefully choreographed scheme to strip the American citizenry of our power and our rights, “we the people” have become victims of the Deep State’s confidence game.

In this particular con game, every candidate dangled before us as some form of political savior—including Donald Trump and Kamala Harris—is part of a long-running, elaborate scam intended to persuade us that, despite all appearances to the contrary, we live in a constitutional republic.

In this way, the voters are the dupes, the candidates are the shills, and as usual, it’s the Deep State rigging the outcome.

Terrorist attacks, pandemics, economic uncertainty, national security threats, civil unrest: these are all manipulated crises that add to the sense of urgency and help us feel invested in the outcome of the various elections, but it doesn’t change much in the long term.

No matter who wins this election, we’ll all still be prisoners of the Deep State.

Indeed, the history of the United States is a testament to the old adage that liberty decreases as government (and government bureaucracy) grows. To put it another way, as government expands, liberty contracts.

When it comes to the power players that call the shots, there is no end to their voracious appetite for more: more money, more power, more control. Thus, since 9/11, the government’s answer to every problem has been more government and less freedom.

What we are dealing with is a rogue government whose policies are dictated more by greed than need. Making matters worse, “we the people” have become so gullible, so easily distracted, and so out-of-touch that we have ignored the warning signs all around us in favor of political expediency in the form of electoral saviors.

Now read the remaining paragraphs very carefully.

Yet it’s not just Americans who have given themselves over to political gods, however.

Evangelical Christians, seduced by electoral promises of power and religious domination, have become yet another tool in the politician’s toolbox.

For instance, repeatedly conned into believing that Republican candidates from George W. Bush to Donald Trump will save the church, evangelical Christians have turned the ballot box into a referendum on morality. Yet in doing so, they have shown themselves to be as willing to support totalitarian tactics as those on the Left. [Emphasis added]

This was exactly what theologian Francis Schaeffer warned against: “We must not confuse the Kingdom of God with our country. To say it another way, ‘We should not wrap Christianity in our national flag.’”

Equating religion and politics, and allowing the ends to justify the means, only empowers tyrants and lays the groundwork for totalitarianism.

This way lies madness and the certain loss of our freedoms.

If you must vote, vote, but don’t make the mistake of consecrating the ballot box.

Amen, Mr. Whitehead! I couldn’t have said it better myself.

I have no knowledge of Whitehead’s personal faith, but what he said about evangelical Christians is 100% spot-on. And it’s what I have been saying for decades. What I do know is Government makes 'laws' of legal and illegal. God's Laws are Right and Wrong.

All 50 States Acknowledge God in Their Constitution

 
A democracy is two wolves and a sheep discussing what to have for dinner. A republic is a well-armed sheep defending his rights.

 
Never re-elect anyone. Public service is a brief civic duty, not a career.

Samson



 
In the Book of Judges, Chapter 15, verses 14 through 17, we find an interesting account of Samson killing a thousand men with the jawbone of a donkey.

When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting against him. Then the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him; and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that is burned with fire, and his bonds broke loose from his hands. He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and killed a thousand men with it.  Then Samson said:

 

“With the jawbone of a donkey,
Heaps upon heaps,
With the jawbone of a donkey
I have slain a thousand men!”

 

And so it was, when he had finished speaking, that he threw the jawbone from his hand, and called that place Ramath Lehi. (Jawbone Hill)

 

Notice when Samson no longer needed the jawbone he threw it away. What is the lesson to be learned? Let's compare Then and Now. 


Then: Samson did not keep the jawbone as a souvenir to proudly display it in a place of honor.

 

Now: Organized religion hangs on to man-made traditions. Today false teachers would quickly get a patent on the jawbone and turn it into a religious icon. They would sell replicates of the jawbone to their congregation. They would place a statue of Samson in all their church buildings. They would constantly preach about the great victory that comes with owning an authorized jawbone. They would create a holiday to commemorate the Battle of Jawbone Hill. 


Organized religion has turned tradition into a profitable business. Christmas and Easter are huge money makers for merchants and organized religion. Instead of throwing away traditions, Churchianity has discarded Bible truth.


Here's a list of Catholic Holidays

The only Biblical Holiday on this list is Pentecost, and organized religion celebrates it on the wrong date.

Protestant denominations are the "harlots daughters" of The Mother of Harlots.


 
All Saints
 
Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God
 
Precious Blood
 
Assumption
 
Altagracia Day

When the Holy Spirit reveals the truth to us, we must throw away useless traditions. Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues." 
~ Revelation 18:4

The U.S. Dollar

 

We the People This is a copy of the cover of the U.S. Constitution. US Constitution Stock Photo

According to the Constitution for the United States of America, Article I, Section 8, Clause 5: [The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures; . . . not print worthless paper money or borrow money from foreign countries and call it the "national debt."

The difference between a robber and the government is a robber doesn't pretend he is helping you.

Thanks to corrupt politicians and the Federal Reserve, the U.S. dollar has lost 97% its value since it was created by the Continental Congress in 1785.

Inflation is a Hidden Tax

$100 in 1785 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $3,237.82 in 2024, an increase of $3,137.82 over 239 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 1.47% per year between 1785 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 3,137.82%.

This means that today's prices are 32.38 times as high as average prices since 1785, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index. A dollar today only buys 3.088% of what it could buy back then.

The inflation rate in 1785 was -4.90%. The current inflation rate compared to the end of last year is now 3.27%. If this number holds, $100 today will be equivalent in buying power to $103.27 in 2025.

The digital dollar is coming, and your financial privacy is under threat! Americans will not be able to buy or sell with USD, gold, or silver.

Imagine every dollar you spend being tracked and controlled. The U.S. Federal Reserve is rolling out Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and the FedNow program, jeopardizing your financial freedom.

As it is written: He (the beast system) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. ~ Revelation 13:16-17
