Legitimate government exists only to protect rights. Not to grant them. Not to trample them.

“In that dramatic scene on Calvary’s hill three men were crucified. We must never forget that all three were crucified for the same crime — the crime of extremism. Two were extremists for immorality, and thus fell below their environment. The other, Jesus Christ, was an extremist for love, truth and goodness, and thereby rose above his environment. Perhaps …the nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists.” —Martin Luther King Jr.
Just as police states have arisen throughout history, there have also been individuals or groups of individuals who have risen up to challenge the injustices of their age.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer risked his life to undermine the tyranny at the heart of Nazi Germany.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn challenged the soul-destroying gulags of the Soviet Union.
Martin Luther King Jr. called America on the carpet for its color-coded system of racial segregation and warmongering.
And then there was Jesus Christ, an itinerant preacher and revolutionary activist, who not only died challenging the police state of his day—namely, the Roman Empire—but provided a blueprint for standing up to tyranny that would be followed by those, religious and otherwise, who came after him.
A radical nonconformist who challenged authority at every turn, Jesus was a far cry from the watered-down, corporatized, simplified, gentrified, sissified vision of a meek creature holding a lamb that most modern churches peddle. In fact, he spent his adult life speaking truth to power, challenging the status quo of his day, and pushing back against the abuses of the Roman Empire.
Those living through this present age of militarized police, SWAT team raids, police shootings of unarmed citizens, roadside strip searches, and invasive surveillance might feel as if these events are unprecedented, the characteristics of a police state and its reasons for being are no different today than they were in Jesus’ lifetime: control, power and money.
Much like the American Empire today, the Roman Empire of Jesus’ day was characterized by secrecy, surveillance, a widespread police presence, a citizenry treated like suspects with little recourse against the police state, perpetual wars, a military empire, martial law, and political retribution against those who dared to challenge the power of the state.
As I point out in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, a police state extends far beyond the actions of law enforcement. In fact, a police state “is characterized by bureaucracy, secrecy, perpetual wars, a nation of suspects, militarization, surveillance, widespread police presence, and a citizenry with little recourse against police actions.”
Indeed, the police state in which Jesus lived and its striking similarities to modern-day America are beyond troubling…. Read More
MFP commentary:
You need to listen to this. (4 minutes long) Most pastors (or priests) do not have a clue as to what Romans 13 means
An interview with Brother Gregory, a minister of His Church. Covering a very controversial topic regarding Romans 13.
MFP Commentary:
If you are a Christian you need to read this. As a watchman on the wall I need to post this, though I must admit I often feel like Noah. Ridiculed by the very people that I am supposed to be protecting. You gotta do what you are commanded to do regardless…

Dave Hodges Article:
Ladies and Gentlemen, there are 5 stages to a purge of any people whether they be Jews, live in Rwanda, Bosnia or Serbia or reside in the United States. America has entered on the path of a purge of white people. However, this initial purge is merely a transitional step to the persecution of Christians.
I have recently written a series of articles on the fact that the early stages of a potentially deadly purge are forming inside the United States. Some have questioned me and have repeated what I have said, the VAST MAJORITY of Latinos and Blacks would find any purge against whites to be reprehensible. Many would stand in defense of their white brothers and sisters. Therefore, we are not facing an all-out racial civil in America as most reasonable people, of any race, will not participate, except to stop it. I have a very close friend in which our friendship arose out of basketball coaching circles, who now works in the top level of Arizona State government. He finds this discourse to be vile and disgusting and will not stand for it. This person is part Black, Puerto Rican and Native American. He is angry about this movement because it is resurrecting feelings of racial hatred that had been minimized until people like Soros have come along and attempted to exploit any differences in order to bring the country down. However, this agitator, or a former Nazi collaborator, named George Soros who specializes in regime change on a national level, has white people in his crosshairs. I think it is reasonable to assume that before Soros is done, Christian persecution will be the main focus of Soros and his globalist allies.
One of Soros tactics is to pit one group against the other in a classic divide and conquer scenario. In this sense, George Soros is the new Charles Manson and he has resurrected “Helter Skelter” and is trying to unhinge the country along racial lines. When I read that Will Smith says that Trump supporters need to be cleansed or any number of professors say that white genocide would be a good thing, I wonder how much money was thrown at these people, by Soros, to get them to promote such insanity. Soros loves to use false flags to promote these artificially created divisions.
When Donald Trump was running for office and was scheduled to address the people of Chicago, I covered how Soros paid for protestors, obtained through Craig’s List, to show up and shut down the Trump rally which eventually had to be canceled. And I also covered the fact that Bill Ayers, convicted felon and former head of the Weathermen, was in the crowd agitating the people at the Chicago event…. Read More
The 5 Stages of a Purge-The War On Whites Is a Prelude to Christian Persecution
MFP commentary:
For the life of me I do not understand why the “right to lifers” are so hypocritical and don’t address a plethora of other issues. Say perhaps giving their own children fluoridated water that damages both their bodies and brains, or addressing the evil satanic CPS that they “save” these children for.
As Henry David Thoreau so aptly put it:
“There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.”
~Henry David Thoreau
When are the “useful idiots” in this country going to learn what the root is, much less to strike it? Many of them are actually supporters of CPS.
Hosea 4:6
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…”
Just like our liberties boy’s and girls, our freedoms are not protected by the troops nor justice protected by the courts,
you and I are the ONLY ones that will protect either. When are you going to get off of your ass and do something, other than waiving a bright piece of cloth called a flag, or mindlessly parroting the pledge of allegiance?

From Medical Kidnap News:
An Arizona court decided this week that a woman accused of scalding a little girl alive and burning over 80% of her body will go to trial in October 2018. Meanwhile, Samantha Osteraas is out on bail, and the little girl’s biological mother is still trying to get justice for her daughter, whose life was destroyed by Child Protective Services and the adults the agency placed her with.
While Samantha Osteraas is free to walk the streets as she awaits trial, little Devani’s real family has no idea where she is or who the agency has placed her with this time.
The court-appointed attorney chosen to represent little Devani and allowed her to remain in foster homes where she was allegedly raped, sexually trafficked, and burned, is the same attorney still representing her today.
The foster parents who committed such atrocities are now answering for their criminal acts in the legal system, but the government agencies that placed her there and kept her there until today, are apparently not being held responsible for their parts in these heinous crimes.
Where is the justice?
MFP commentary:
I sure don’t endorse this attack, but most “flag flyers” turn my damn stomach, as flying a piece of cloth is the ONLY thing that they do to defend liberty. It is you and I that defend liberty, not “the troops” fighting illegitimate foreign wars for dubious purposes.
It also is my observation that flying pieces of cloth is not a very effective way to retain our liberties, but education is:
“An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people.” often attributed to Thomas Jefferson
No truer words have ever been uttered IMHO.
Like I said I do not endorse violence as a response to someone’s free speech, as I have personally experienced this past year, from both a thug in a blue costume, (here) (thug Mullins was his name) and a business owner in Seymour MO. Unfortunately in my case there will be no justice in either case.
Update: The world is going nuts. Today I thought I was going to have to defend myself against a priest of all people. Even the clergy it seems are not immune from this mental illness. Father Dennis J. Cooney ( email me if you want his phone number) of St Raphael Catholic Church likely had never had anyone rebut his dogma. Organized “churches” demand unthinking submission to their dogma, and it enraged him to the point of near violence when he encountered someone that could actually think, and rebut him. He then began an irrational straw man attack on myself… then the ad hominem attacks. It was a far cry from the adult civil discussion, that I envisioned, nor the help with a critical personal crisis that I was trying to adress.
This man has a reputation for “having a temper”. No one is willing to confront him, ( I tried to get an involved party to do so) so his despicable behavior continues for decades, as I understand, after all he’s is a sinner, and God will forgive him so he has zero motivation to change. There are no repercussions for “a man of God” The most ludicrous thing happened as I was leaving the man had the unmitigated gall to say “God bless you” after this behavior.
Has the DSM listed the mental illness of attacking people for their speech yet? I would not hold my breath.
In closing to quote the late Joyce Riley one must do the “right and honorable thing”, regardless of the consequences, and when you speak “Truth to Power” (here, here & here) there are usually violent consequences. I humbly ask that you pray for MFP, and just as importantly, perhaps even more that you take action.

Infowars Article:
An elderly man is proving to be unflappable after his neighbor allegedly raged on him because of the American flag flying in the man’s front yard.
The (Florida) Citrus County Chronicle reports on the Christmas Eve attack:
Lucille Blanchard, 50, of South Spice Wood Terrace, Lecanto, at 1:48 p.m. Dec. 24 on a felony charge of battery on a person over the age of 65 and a misdemeanor charge of petit theft.
According to her arrest affidavit, “Blanchard is accused (of) grabbing her 69-year-old neighbor by his shirt and pushing him backward, then stealing his American flag valued at approximately $15.”
She was reportedly “upset that her neighbor had a flag in his front yard and came over to remove it when the altercation occurred,” the paper reports.
SEASONS BEATINGS: Woman Attacks Neighbor over American Flag in Yard
MFP commentary:
Not surprisingly CINO’s (christians in name only) are doing exactly what they did in Nazi Germany……. Nothing.
They are even doing what the Romans and the Pharisees did. They figuratively crucify the “watchmen on the wall”, like myself, and others. Those that “speak truth to power“, like Jesus Christ did, and admonished us to do. Same actions just a different century.
Please don’t perish for lack of knowledge. Have eyes to see and ears to hear…..

I certainly do not have a crystal ball, but I am an historical expert on how tyranny comes to power. I have studied the emergence of every tyrannical government in the 20th Century and they ALL have certain things in common.
As I stated in an earlier part of this series, Obama was to be the setup man in which he was to erase as many civil liberties as possible. His mission was to push America to the edge of destruction (e.g. Obamacare) and then the ruthless Hillary Clinton was to be the closer and complete the job. The intended Deep State one-two punch of Obama and Clinton followed the traditional roll-out of all tyrannical governments.
There are some small variations, but ultimately, all despotic governments come to power in much the same way.
It is clear that Obama had three primary missions when he came to power, namely, erase the Constitution, destroy the economy and disarm the people so they could not defend themselves when enough citizens would awake to the tyranny that they were living under.
Obama succeeded in all of his Deep State mandates except for one. He was never able to pry the guns from American hands. From 2010-2012, became the false flag President. Despite all of the false flags that took place during that time, very little progress was made in the effort to disarm the people. Why was Obama so intent on disarming America? The answer is simple, his handler knew that much of the country, tens of millions to be exact, would never accept a repressive communist government. To accomplish this goal the people had to be disarmed. Obama failed in this Deep State mandate.
Subsequently, Obama had to turn to Plan B to neutralize an armed populace. Obama became the first President to bring Russian soldiers to America. The Russians would be permanently embedded under false pretenses and then would emerge at the right time when America was in rebellion. I have literally written dozens of articles on this development. Here is an example from one in 37 articles I have authored on this subject which are available through the search engine on this site:
Because the Obama administration has been caught bringing in the Russians, these traitors were forced to invent a cover story…….Read More

Thanks to a note from a preacher friend, I think I’ve discovered a new type of Christian: the So what? Christian.
I have written many times about Christian jihadists, Old Testament Christians, Christian armchair warriors, theological schizophrenics, Christian Coalition moralists, nuclear Christians, Janus Christians, evangelical warvangelicals, Catholic just war theorists, reich-wing Christian nationalists, theocon Values Voters, imperial Christians, pro-lifers for mass murder, Red-State Christian fascists, bloodthirsty Christian conservatives, beam Christians, nuclear Christians, Christian Coalition moralists, double-minded Christians, Christian warmongers, God and country Christian bumpkins, sniper theologians, Christian military idolaters, conservative Christian militarists, and members of the Christian axis of evil.
The So what? Christian, when presented with some negative assertion about the U.S. government, the U.S. military, U.S. wars, or U.S. foreign policy, instead of inquiring as to its validity, doing some research, or spending more than three seconds thinking about it, dismisses it with “So what?,” usually followed by some ridiculous statement.
Here are some examples.
The U.S. military has bombed Afghan wedding parties: So what? The bride and groom were going to produce potential terrorists.
The U.S. military has killed thousands of civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan: So what? They are just collateral damage.
The United States gives billions of dollars a year in foreign aid to Israel: So what? The Jews are God’s chosen people.
The U.S. military has a thousand overseas military bases: So what? America is the exceptional nation.

U.S. drone strikes regularly miss their targets: So what? America makes no apologies.
The United States has been fighting in Afghanistan longer than against Nazi Germany: So what? It is better to fight “over there” instead of “over here.”
The real defense budget is around a trillion dollars: So what? The military keeps us safe.
The Pledge of Allegiance was written by a socialist minister. So what? America is still one nation under God.
The U.S. military kills innocent Muslims that were no threat to the United States: So what? All Muslims are terrorists.
Inmates at Guantanamo are being held indefinitely with neither charge nor trial: So what? Terrorists don’t need trials.
U.S. soldiers have committed war crimes: So what? There’s always a few bad apples in every bushel.
U.S. soldiers recite filthy cadences in basic training: So what? I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free.
The U.S. military pays sports teams for patriotic displays and troop tributes: So what? God bless America.
The United States is increasing military actions in Africa: So what? America is the greatest country in the world.
The U.S. military keeps brothels open overseas: So what? The troops are defending our freedoms.
A preemptive war against Iraq was wrong because Iraq was no threat to the United States: So what? There is “a time of war” (Ecclesiastes 3:8).
Thousands of U.S. soldiers died unnecessarily in Iraq and Afghanistan: So what? There is no greater honor than to die for your country.
Military recruiters lie to impressionable young people: So what? There is nothing more noble than military service.
Veterans are committing suicide at an alarming rate: So what? They should not feel guilty for anything they did while in service to their country.
The U.S. military is increasingly being filled with women, homosexuals, lesbians, and transgenders: So what? There is no higher calling than military service.

The U.S. military and intelligence services have tortured people: So what? As long as it saves the life of one American.
The U.S. military has created tens of thousands of widows and orphans in Iraq and Afghanistan: So what? The terrorists who kill Jews are Muslims.
The U.S. military killed millions of Vietnamese in the Vietnam War: So what? The only good communist is a dead communist.
The U.S. military has bombed seven Muslim countries over the past few years: So what? Islam is a false religion.
The United States hasn’t constitutionally declared war on any country since World War II: So what? Romans 13.
War is the greatest destroyer of civil liberties: So what? Civil liberties are the concern of leftists.
The U.S. military is a bombing, maiming, and killing machine: So what? The LORD is a man of war (Exodus 15:3).
It is shameful that some conservative Christians have this So what? attitude. It is even worse when this mindset is followed by ridiculous statements that display their willful ignorance.
So what? Christians. Rebuke them, chastise them, reprimand them, reprove them, castigate them, and scold them. Just don’t forget to educate them, instruct them, teach them, inform them, enlighten them, and admonish them. By all means, use the resources available at LRC. …. Read Original Story here
Thank you Dave Hodges!
Great minds as they say great minds must think alike. I have spent all morning trying to put my thoughts together on what passes for “Christianity” today.
I want to say pick a side people. Good or Evil. At best riding the fence is going to get you an arse full of splinters, and quite likley a lot worse.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

As this Sunday comes and goes, I will not be attending my former church. With a scant few exceptions the church has been invaded in the same manner that our Constitution has been obliterated. Why won’t I be attending my church? Because I want to save my soul for eternity.
As the country struggles to come to grip with the unscreened immigrant invasion, which includes the importation of an unknown amount of Muslim terrorists, our economy is threatened like never before, our collective health and our national security is at extreme risk, and yet, we are unable to look to our churches to provide the leadership needed in this time of crisis. Most concerning is the fact that our country is being overrun by unscreened Muslims from areas of the world that hate Americans. Our FBI says 10% are likely terrorists. As a result, we are staring down the real possiblity that we are going to be facing multiple San Bernardino incidents. Yet, your pastor is silent. Christians are not being admitted as immigrants under the refugee/resettlement program from the Middle East. Christians are being beheaded, yet the Obama administration has condemned our Christian brothers, in certain parts of the Middle East, to a certain and brutal death, often by beheading. We admit many of the executioners to our country, but not the persecuted. In some parts of the world, being a Christian is a death sentence. If your pastor does not speak about this on Sunday. he is complicit with his silence….. Read More

It was the day before Christmas Eve, and as I drove to a city where I was to meet my sons for lunch, it was hard to find a parking spot, as so many people were out and about on the last shopping day before Christmas.
Everyone seemed to be in a good mood in this upscale downtown area where I was meeting my sons for lunch. Many were dressed in their holiday best, and there were families everywhere; children giddy with glee as they undoubtedly were looking forward to opening presents soon.
Since I had to park quite far away from the restaurant where I was to meet my sons, I had a few blocks to walk.
At one corner, a woman who was sitting down by herself and talking caught my eye for just a moment. She was on the other side of the street, so I did not get a close look at her.
“Why is she talking when she is all alone?,” I quickly thought, but I was late for lunch and I pushed the thought to the back of my mind thinking “she probably has an earbud on and is talking on the phone to someone.”
Later, as we were finishing up our lunch on a table that was outside in front of the restaurant (the restaurant was very busy, and the only table available was outdoors as it was quite cold out), a woman walked by that caught my eye.
She was not neat – she was dirty, carrying a backpack, smoking a small stub of a cigarette that I guessed someone had discarded, and had multiple layers of clothing and jackets on, well worn and dirty. I later learned she was in her mid 40s, but she looked older than that.
She noticed me looking at her, and said to me: “God bless you! Jesus has redeemed me, and God is the God of second chances.”
I replied: “Amen! He certainly is the God of second chances. God bless you too.”… Read More
