Under Cover of Smoke :: By Bill Wilson

The Democratic Party, America’s socialist party, is pursuing its socialistic tactics by finding ways to use the laws of the nation against its political opposition and unconstitutional unelected government agencies to silence dissent from its destructive agenda.

In the months ahead, the Trump trial will suck the air out of the news cycle, and Americans will hear little else than debate on the upcoming trial. Meanwhile, the crisis will not go to waste. These tyrannical forces will use the cover of smoke from the Trump trial to advance their agenda. The Trump trial will serve at least three purposes: to discredit and politically assassinate Trump, to interfere with the upcoming elections, and to advance a tyrannical agenda.

Just look at what the White House has done in the weeks leading up to the indictment and arraignment of Trump under the cover of the media:

  • Funding the war in Ukraine without Congressional approval;
  • New government-forced clean energy projects;
  • Pressure to force more gun control;
  • Affirming transgendered children;
  • Proclaiming Transgender Day of Visibility;
  • $7 billion for climate change in Africa;
  • Regional bank regulation changes;
  • Government incentives for Electric Cars;
  • Key appointments to boards and commissions;
  • Advancing offshore wind opportunities;
  • Banning gas stoves;
  • A billion dollars for economic empowerment of women;
  • Handing government land to environmentalists.

These are just a few of the nearly 700 web pages of actions by the White House. Not to mention the bad economy, lack of border security, and crime.

Look for opposition and vetoes of legislation from the House—things like passing legislation to undo the economy busting, inflation boosting of Biden’s energy policies; The World Health Organization Withdrawal Act; Protecting America’s farmland from China; Prohibiting certain transactions between persons in the US and adversaries, like China; and many more.

Under the cover of the Trump trial antics, legal gamesmanship, and political theatre, there will be many leftist agenda items advanced that you may or may not hear about. Many of them will involve restricting your rights through healthcare, climate control, gun control, administrative agencies like the IRS, FBI, and so on. More will be said and done to accuse people of racism, antisemitism, Nazism, bigotry, and so on.

John 3:19-21 says, “And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

And 1 Peter 5:8 encourages: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour.”

We all need to be vigilant because these people who are ruled by the forces of darkness and principalities of the air will use every opportunity to establish their domain over any and all. Draw near to Christ, who is our advocate in righteousness.

Stupidocrisy: Media Say Trump Prosecution Good for US :: By Bill Wilson

Many leading media outlets have written stories suggesting that democracies routinely prosecute their heads of state, and this is good for the democracy, they say. These stories are no less an attempt to shape America’s public opinion that prosecuting former president Trump is good for the country. America is a Constitutional Republic where the rule of law takes precedence over majority opinion. True democracy is majority rule, not necessarily ruled by laws. The law in the Republic is not supposed to be politically twisted or weaponized against anyone. We are equal under the law.

Trump’s political opponents have raised false accusations and charges against him since his political journey began. None have stuck.

Writers for The Washington Post, Newsweek, New York Times, and Axios all say that America behaving like banana republics is a good thing. Of course, they all work for leftist publications. They list out how the leaders of France, South Korea, Italy, Pakistan, Argentina, Brazil, Malaysia, Peru, South Africa, Taiwan, Japan, and, yes, Israel have all been prosecuted and many convicted of criminal charges. Axios writes: “The big pictureIn reality, leaders who left office since 2000 have been jailed or prosecuted in at least 78 countries–including in democracies like France, Israel, and South Korea. Since 1980, around half of the world’s countries have had at least one such case, and that’s not counting impeachments or coups.”

Not counting impeachments or coups? Coups are the meat and potatoes of tyranny.

In its study of world leader prosecutions, Axios stated, “For obvious reasons, the countries that are least likely to be filled in on our map are monarchies or dictatorships where leaders are long-serving and untouchable.”

Those “obvious reasons” for not including untouchable monarchs or dictators are that it would undermine the authors’ premise that such “prosecutions” are good for democracies. China is a “democracy.” So are Russia and Cuba, for example. In those one-party, one-ballot types of countries, political opposition is eliminated, often by execution, sometimes with show trials designed to rile public opinion against the leader on twisted interpretations of their so-called “laws.”

Starting to sound familiar?

Trump said that America was behaving like a third-world country. Conservative and liberal commentators alike say the indictment is on shaky legal ground. Many believe that this prosecution is a tremendous form of politically-motivated election interference. And the news media is in an all-out effort to convince the American people that this sort of political assassination is a good thing because it happens all the time in other “democracies.”

It will be a good thing until it becomes like Russia, where the leader just has the journalists killed when they don’t agree with him. Always remember that there is a double edge to the sword of tyranny.

In the meantime, as in 2 Timothy 3:13, “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.”

Unfortunately, many are in the media, and it’s, say it with me… Stupidocrisy.
