No longer Conspiracy Theory, Time for Action
Scott S Powell 4-26-2023
An
awakening is sweeping across the land causing more and more people to recognize
their welfare and that of the United States are in deep trouble, with increasingly
visible forces destroying the country, the family, and the people’s security
and standard of living.
America is now in a
war—not a shooting or kinetic war—but one with many fronts. Assaults on the spiritual,
cultural, and informational fronts are the most important because they shape
what happens downstream in politics and economics.
Enemies of the
American Republic are found both inside and outside the United States—and they
advance by deceiving, demoralizing, and
dividing the American people. Their goal is to nullify the Constitution. If the
latter succeeds it will bring a swift end to the United States as we have known
it, and make recovery all but impossible.
When we connect the dots,
we can see that the manipulation of public opinion and the creation of narratives
is directed at undermining traditional institutions such as law enforcement, the
family, church, schools and other “carriers” of civility, tradition, and
continuity.
War has been declared on average Americans
through the Biden administration’s southern border policies that have resulted
in unprecedented illegal entries—including criminals, terrorists, and human,
child, sex, and drug trafficking cartels, a development that hurts American
families by overwhelming law enforcement, schools, and the healthcare system.
Traditional families
are being attacked in other ways and from every direction.
War has been declared
on parents—referred to as “domestic terrorists” by the FBI—for opposing school
boards and administrators who are overseeing the moral and ideological
corruption of their children in their schools.
The historical war
against the family started out as sexual liberation in the 1960s and
legalization of abortion in the 1970s, then expanded into normalizing homosexuality
(which has existed since ancient times) with the 2015 Obergefell Supreme Court
decision. And in the last ten years we see a concerted effort to normalize transgenderism
and pedophilia, with a breathtakingly accelerated pace in the last few years.
Transgenderism and
pedophilia are an affront to the traditional male and female identities and
traditional family values, but there are impacts beyond the family.
If trans
women competing against biological women goes unchecked, it will destroy
women’s sports.
Under Biden, the
American Armed Services brass have accommodated the inclusion of transgender
individuals in the rank and file, in spite of studies that
show transgenders in the military undermine readiness and provoke division—a development celebrated by America’s enemies.
Males who
identify as women in California can direct their incarceration to women’s prisons with female cellmates—creating problems from violence and rape. In
Washington state, a law (SB 5599) recently passed that effectively authorizes state agencies to separate
children from their families by keeping
runaway juveniles from their parents or legal guardians
and not informing them about their children getting an abortion and/or irreversible
gender surgeries.
Globally,
the United Nations is now pushing the decriminalization of pedophilia. Principle 16 of the March 8, 2023 U.N. report on
Criminal Law Proscribing Conduct Associated with Sex,” states: “Consensual sexual conduct, irrespective of
the type of sexual activity, the sex/gender, sexual orientation, gender
identity or gender expression of the people involved or their marital status,
may not be criminalized in any circumstances...”
The
United States is famous for its Constitution and Bill of Rights that comprehensively
protect freedom. Yet today Christians and Jews are facing increasing
persecution in America. The first two years of the so-called Covid pandemic (2020
and 2021), revealed state and local government authorities forcing closure of churches
and synagogues while keeping casinos, strip clubs, and bars open.
Acts
of hostility toward Catholics, Christians and churches are now becoming widespread and growing under the Biden
administration. Arielle Del Turco, the director of
the Center for Religious Liberty at the Family Research Council, reports:
“Increasing anger and frustration at
church buildings points to a larger spiritual battle and a growing climate of
hostility toward Christianity.
The
incidence of acts of hostility perpetrated against churches doubled from 2021 to 1922, and is on track to double again
in 2023. And these hostile incidents include
arson or arson attempts, bomb threats, gun-related violence and more. John D. Cohen, the
top intelligence official at DHS joined the FBI in a joint statement that “threats
come from both domestic violent extremists and those inspired by foreign
terrorists.”
The story of this attempted multi-front takedown
of America would not be complete without acknowledging the role of the information
and knowledge industry. The compromise
of almost all U.S. colleges and universities has been recognized for some time,
resulting from the “long march” of progeny from critical theory and Marxism that have come to
dominate the majority of the humanities and social science departments.
We have lived with pronounced media bias
since the Vietnam War, but we now have proof from the Twitter Files and more
that the U.S. government and over half of dozen of its agencies have been
engaged in massive censorship and cancellation for the purpose of blocking
information to the American people that goes against the invisible government and
“deep state” narratives.
In fact, government agencies, such as the
DOJ, FBI, CIA, State Department, DHS, the CDC, and FDA have enlisted all the
Big Tech companies to support various narratives that include:
· blocking the Hunter Biden laptop and its
incriminating information on the Biden family
· supporting the need for universal
vaccination as the only preventive for Covid-19
· supporting the view that the southern
border is secure
· supporting the climate scare and need for a
Green New Deal
· supporting Ukraine with massive aid, even while
the United States runs a simultaneous $1.5 trillion budget deficit.
No nation can survive when its government
deceives and corrupts its people, denying them the information to make good
choices. But we should take heart that the Constitution of the United States still
stands and contains everything needed to recover liberty and justice for all.
What’s needed now is the courage to act.
If Winston Churchill, often hailed as the
greatest leader of the twentieth century, could speak from the grave to our
times, he would remind us that “Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities...
because it is the quality which guarantees all others.”
