An Illegitimate Inauguration, What Now?

I can accept the outcome of an election when voters legitimately elect an office-holder, my candidate or not. It’s fascinating really, polling place tallies being a measure of our collective worldview and discernment. What’s unacceptable is the blatantly fraudulent election that took place in 2020. 

All the speculation about what Trump might do, could do, or would do in response, came to nothing. As disappointing as that was for many people, myself included, it points out a truth we need to acknowledge; far too many place their faith in political action rather than in God. Nothing wrong with well-intentioned Christians expending themselves in conservative political causes (time, money, and fervor) every election year. Realize though, that’s not the Great Commission of Matthew 28:18-20. How many of us, politically active or not, won’t even take a few precious moments of opportunity to witness to our next-door neighbor, friend, or loved one about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Winning souls or winning elections? How about both? Or is it neither?

By the end of inauguration day, January 20, 2021, an election stolen by a treasonous coalition of local, state, national, and international conspirators had been allowed to stand. Evidence of massive voter fraud, foreign election interference, and numerous election law violations were never heard in court. Judge after judge opined that neither the President of the Unites States, members of congress, state governments, or private citizens “have standing” to bring such things for judicial review. This begs the question; who then does have standing? The answer is no one does, therefore we have no peaceful recourse. Lawlessness has been enshrined at the highest levels of government and affirmed by lesser magistrates through cowardly assent. This should never happen in a republic, but is inevitable in democracies.

Over and over you hear that we’re a “democracy” from talking head fools and even those who should know better. Don’t believe it. We were founded a republic, not a democracy, these words are not interchangeable. In a democracy there are no constraints on governmental authority, the will of the ruling elite majority is all that’s needed to issue laws. No protections for individuals, no rights, and no limits on what can be perpetrated on the population. Such becomes the fate of citizens in a republic when a majority are convinced they’re a democracy instead.

The really galling thing is hearing traitorous wretches like Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer attempt to appeal to the Constitution by claiming their freedom-destroying actions are somehow authorized by it. Uh-uh, these are power-mad psychopaths who hate both the Constitution and the Bible on which it was structured. This brings to mind Jesus’ description of Satan as a thief in John 10:10, noting that the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. Not coincidentally, so do all ideologies that have satanic origins. As example, Marxism and its offshoots, Communism, Socialism, Fascism and Nazism, all steal, kill and destroy to achieve and maintain power.

Now compare the Democratic Party Platform with communist goals. They’re nearly identical. Indeed, the Democratic strategy of stirring envy, division, and hate are known tactics of communist revolutionaries. What can we expect from a Democrat Party in complete control of federal government? Literally steal, kill and destroy.

Our current situation: We have a senile, criminally corrupt chief executive, a Congress stacked with authoritarian politicians (regardless of party), and a usurping oligarchy of judges all decreeing unconstitutional laws (forget the separation of powers) while the majority will of the citizenry is ignored through rigged elections. The Constitution itself still physically exists but only as a historical footnote of another era. Another nation. For scores of decades we didn’t defend the Constitution against encroachment by domestic enemies. Now they and their foreign masters have done away with its relevance as a practical matter.

What lingers now that Trump is gone? The left’s maniacal hatred of him. Liberals are obsessed with destroying the man at every level. The Pelosi-led House impeached the president in 2020 on baseless claims that he threatened to withhold foreign aid from Ukraine if they didn’t do as he wanted. If that’s considered grounds for impeachment, behold Joe Biden bragging about doing exactly the same thing!

Now there’s a second impeachment effort, claiming President Trump incited the January 6, 2021 breaching of the capitol building. Some of his supporters, of their own accord, did take part. What’s ignored is that Antifa agent provocateurs were the instigators, apparently aided by capitol security personnel. A set-up? You betcha. The propaganda wing of the Democrat Party, AKA the mainstream media, were all in with wrongly blaming President Trump for what they call an insurrection. Strange that all of last year the ongoing Black Lives Matter/Antifa looting, burning city blocks, assaults, murders, and attacking government buildings for leftist political cause, were collectively reported as “peaceful protests”. They may be insane, but you and I aren’t. What’s worse, Trump’s out of office and these vindictive lunatics still want a Senate vote to remove him. From what? He’s out of office!

These are totalitarians, their lust for power supersedes measured thinking or common sense. Totalitarians don’t tolerate dissent. Having achieved ill-gotten authority, they think by labelling anything they disagree with as “hate speech”, they’re allowed to obliterate free speech. To those who hate truth, truth is hate. Don’t look to the hand-wringing, spineless Republicans for reprieve. They’re part of the problem.

The propaganda mainstream media and big tech social media have acted as a single coordinated organization to shutdown honest information and viciously attack any who dare present it. We shouldn’t be surprised that liars promote lies and censor truth. Oppression and persecution of dissenters has likewise began. Forget the disingenuous calls for unity by our enemies. Their definition of unity is us submitting to their liberal agenda. Of course that’s not really unity is it, its surrender. 

The same national election theft perpetrated against President Trump (and likely lesser offices in Democrat-controlled strongholds) was replicated in the two Georgia senate run-off races, ceding full legislative majority to the Marxist Democrat Party. It took 244 years but the last vestiges of the rule of law have been eliminated in our nation. All three branches of government, Executive, Legislative and Judicial, have become fully corrupted and therefore illegitimate before God and man. In another time, when all political options for peaceful resolution had been exhausted…

“We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—-That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.” – US Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776 

I hear some in the Christian and conservative communities tell us violence is never the answer. They’re obviously not looking at all the questions, as evidenced by the Declaration of Independence and the success of our founders to overthrow tyranny by God’s favor and providence. Biblically speaking, David didn’t employ pacifist strategies to dispatch Goliath either. Violence is never a desired option but sometimes circumstances make it one of the few choices remaining. The Bible is clear on this point.

“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8) 

Before we get too revved up, realize we aren’t God’s chosen people facing off against the Philistines in ancient Israel. Nor is it 1776. We aren’t that reverent, Christian people. Let me emphasize, without God’s blessing, any martial effort is doomed to fail.

“Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” (Psalm 127:1)

We‘re a nation awash in the blood of over 60 million aborted babies. A nation that grievously shames itself by the promotion of every kind of sexual perversion and debauchery imaginable. A nation that in large part still defiantly rejects God despite His granting an unmerited reprieve from the judgement we deserved back in 2016 via Hillary Clinton. 

“Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” (Proverbs 14:34)

We know from history that God brings evil rulers to power to punish sinful nations. Is now our time? We have an illegitimate US president who’s appointed sodomites and transvestites into positions of authority in his regime, not because they’re the best qualified but specifically because they are sodomites and transvestites. He’s issued Executive Orders that open our borders to illegal aliens, uses taxpayer money to fund abortions worldwide, destroys women’s sports by allowing effeminate males to compete in them (where’s the feminist outrage?), permits transvestites to join the military (contrary to good order and discipline), and mandates males can use female locker rooms and bathrooms in schools and other public places. There is such a thing as righteous indignation. We should be angry. We cannot comply.

“Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29)

Be aware that the perpetually aggrieved, empowered left is coming for us. We are to be punished, silenced and eventually eliminated; Christians, conservatives, constitutionalists, freedom-loving Americans, gun owners, etc. If you think such a thing can’t happen here, did you think openly stealing a presidential election and getting away with it was impossible too?

“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!” – Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775 

Whether this nation survives (ultimately it will not) our faith must be overcoming. Set aside the distractions that have been keeping you from realizing the depth of faith we’ll all need for the coming days. Turn off the poisoning influence of liberal ideas presented as God-desensitizing entertainment on television. Instead open your Bible, read of the assurances and love God has for you, then seek His guidance earnestly in prayer. From these worthwhile pursuits will spring courage and perseverance.

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (John 14:1-3)

This life is temporary, evil will have its time, but only for a time.

“These things I (Jesus) have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
