About Last Tuesday...

Here is George Galloway's Election Special 'Mother Of All Talk Shows' episode. No one could say it better (and probably not even half as well), so I'm letting George do this week's commentary.

Start at 5:00, and watch at least through the interview with Gerald Celente. Bear in mind that this podcast was recorded on Wednesday of last week, so a few minor things will be be said that are out-of-date today-- but no worries. I am confident that you will agree with me that George's exuberant and cogent commentary is very much worth watching nonetheless.

Regarding Trump's Mandate

Some important comments on a subject already being spun hard; along with an airing of a pet-peeve about the false "college educated" demographic.

AS EARLY AS LAST WEDNESDAY MORNING, immediately after Tuesday's Red Wave had sunk in beyond disbelief or denial, talking heads on liberal (i.e., mainstream) media began a variety of spin efforts. Many, of course, concerned themselves with explaining the election outcome so as to place the blame on anything other than the odious, corrupt and destructive policies advocated and/or imposed by Democrats during the past four+ years.

But another, darker spin effort has been launched. In this one, moderate leftist and progressive positions or inclinations are being presented as the campaign promises by which Donald Trump's legitimate mandate can be measured, deviation from which will be fair game for criticism. Trump, these spinsters "remind" us, campaigned on a commitment to national unity and other Kumbayada-yada, and so must be expected to play nice, even with all those people who have been calling him Hitler and taking other shots at him, both rhetorical and otherwise.

The effort is classic gaslighting-- meant to push real memories aside in favor of false ones better-suited to the propagandist's agenda.

Now, I will grant that Trump is capable of (and pretty good at) ambiguity on the campaign trail, such that various interest groups can find, through appropriate rose-colored glasses, things within his speechifying which seem to promise what each of them want to hear. This is especially so because normally, DJT is a pretty poor free-form speaker, from the standpoint of oratory.

Speaking off the teleprompter, Trump mangles and constantly fails to complete sentences, assumes knowledge in the audience, conflates subjects, has a tendency to drift into mildly-hypnosis-inducing sing-songy rhythms, and makes vague declarations the details of which are left to the imagination of the listener (such as, "I will end the war in Ukraine on day one"-- how? By nuking-- or threatening to nuke-- Moscow? By telling Zelenskyy he's on his own and withdrawing all US arms and assistance? Everyone assumes the latter, but Trump has never actually said).

Nonetheless, Trump never promised, or even hinted at, any Kumbaya, and no one has any business suggesting otherwise. On the contrary, what was at least strongly hinted at was some reckoning-- reckoning which is much-deserved. Thus, the lame effort at self-preservation through gaslighting.

HOWEVER, THERE WAS ONE OCCASION on which Donald Trump actually made a comprehensive series of specific promises. Some will remember that back in May, Trump was invited (or successfully arranged) to speak at the Libertarian party's national convention. As I said in the newsletter following that speech,

THERE IS ONE OTHER THING TO SAY in regard to the Libertarian Party nominating event, though. Donald Trump was afforded an opportunity to address the assembled delegates, and to his credit, he took it, stepping in front of what he had every reason to expect to be a largely hostile crowd.

As much as I am no fan of Trump, I have to say that if I can be led to believe that he will actually work sincerely and competently to accomplish the high points of the agenda he laid out in his effort to entice libertarian support, I will become a near fan and possible supporter. If he reaches that threshold and takes the next big step of shucking off his bizarre abasement before Zionism and its every ambition, I will actually become an enthusiastic Trump booster and will even get, and wear, one of those otherwise silly red hats which, as things now stand, ought to say, 'Make Israel Great Again'.

I think that in partial response to the gaslighting effort discussed above, as well as for its own sake as the promises to which Trump really should be held, this speech is very much worthy of review. Here it is:

***

WHILE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT of election post-mortems, I will take this occasion to air a pet-peeve over the use of the phrase "college-educated _____" (men, women or American voters) to describe a particular electoral demographic unit. For one thing, the expression suggests a group less ignorant, or perhaps even more intelligent, than the rest of the voters from whom they are being distinguished.

Whether this implicit distinction is intentional or not is debatable, certainly, but I think it is pretty much always intentional when the expression is used by partisans for whose side the referenced group favors in the polls. In any event, intended or not, the distinction being drawn is a false one if "educated" or "intelligent" are really the characteristics being distinguished.

Well-educated and intelligent are characteristics enjoyed by many non-college-educated but accomplished people. At the same time, "college educated" includes many "women's studies" majors and the like with useless degrees signifying nothing about meaningful level of education or intelligence.

So, all-in-all, drawing the "college-educated" distinction is useful ONLY as a primp for the candidate favored by the cohort so distinguished.

HOWEVER, THERE IS a related distinction that can and should be made, and one that is much more objectively meaningful: "college-indoctrinated _____" (men, women or Americans). Apply that distinction and suddenly the statistics of persons who have spent years in American "institutions of higher education" and break in favor of leftist, progressive, statist candidates and policies make perfect sense.

This break-- in Harris' favor by 13 points last Tuesday-- doesn't indicate that the smart crowd favors Democrats. Rather, it indicates that the crowd steeped for years in "critical race theory" gibberish, "climate change" hysteria and "gender" dementia favors Democrats.

Big difference; much more accurate and meaningful.

I hope everyone will respond to the deployment of the "college educated" propaganda with a swift and stern corrective in accordance with the foregoing.

Not Letting This "Crisis" Go To Waste...

...an important action item opportunity.

FRIENDS, THE SPORADIC EASINGS of the despotic measures to which most of the country has been subjected under since the onset of the COVID-19 hobgoblin narrative should not be allowed to bleed off the head of steam you probably had been developing. The offenses happened, and they're far from over. Stay hot.

And while you are all warmed up, and while others, if they're smart, are just as hot, I'd like you to send an email (and Facebook post, or whatever) with the following content to everyone you can (with a request that they pass it along, in turn):

[Name], since March of 2020 you've watched as over-fed state power has been used to literally destroy classical Western civilization and impose a new despotic paradigm. No dissent or debate permitted-- no permission or agreement sought.

YOU KNOW where this will end up if the arrogant state power being used to make this happen isn't radically diminished in size, influence, resources and popular support, and exposed as an opportunistic exploiter of legal ignorance (an ignorance which it has been nurturing in the average mind for decades).

Those things having not yet happened, you should be quaking in your boots-- and you probably are.

Isn't it time-- and past time-- for you to begin helping to make those desperately-needed defensive changes take place? There is only one way these things can happen short of a who-knows-what we'll-end-up-with explosion of violence. I'm going to show it to you.

Read this little two-page document. Click on the links at the end.

When you're done with that reading, you'll know what to do next.

BTW, REMEMBER, ALSO, THAT EVERY AMERICAN has lately been given a stark lesson in the fact that government officials at all levels will lie to you and violate the law without batting an eye. They will do so any time it serves their agenda, and you don't call them out for it.

If you know anyone who has been persisting in denial on the truth about the income tax, you know such nonsense is usually be grounded in some version or another of, "That can't be true..." or "They would never do something like that...". Now's the time to put a pin in that delusional bubble.

As the C19 hoax has starkly shown, "that" certainly CAN be true, and they certainly WOULD do something like that.

Use this evidence in all your outreach efforts.

"It is not the function of our Government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the Government from falling into error."

Regarding Trolleries

(Deceitful efforts to discourage Americans from learning the truth about the "income tax")

FOR ALL THE YEARS SINCE 2003 when CtC was first published, the government has engaged in a concerted effort to frighten people away from its truths. This effort involves official government websites and press releases touting an occasional court ruling that appears to be at odds with some CtC-revelation (but without details sufficient to expose the real substance of the ruling)-- and sometimes even more mendacious behavior.

Tim Kendrick has posted a video on YouTube regarding donations. I didn't know what to do about it to begin with; I don't do what I do intending for anyone to feel obligated in any way.

But of course, no one IS obligated. I will continue to make my work freely-available here, and in my books for only the cost of a cheap paperback.

Thus, even though I post it here below, Tim's very thoughtful personal resolution and encouragement to others is just an invitation for consideration by those who may not be conscious of the fact that I can't do what I do without support. No one is to feel any pressure from it; if it moves anyone to act let it be solely because it seems right.

It's simple:

KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TAX IN DETAIL

LEAD BY EXAMPLE

KNOW WHERE TO FIND THE RESOURCES

BE FAMILIAR WITH THE SCAMS, THE MISUNDERSTANDINGS, AND THE TROLL-POLLUTION

TAKE CHARGE IN YOUR STATE FORUM, HELPING EVERYONE TO THINK CLEARLY AND STAY ON TOPIC

All-in-all, just be the sort of person for others that you would go to yourself for trustworthy leadership.

Leadership is a challenge. But it's not complicated, and you can do it.

Are You Having Trouble Spreading The Word?

SKEPTICISM (SOMETIMES INVOKED BY FEAR) IS TO BE EXPECTED when you're trying to explain to someone that everything they've been encouraged their whole lives to believe about something as entrenched and significant as the income tax is basically nonsense. So here's a way to help cut through the resistance:

Ask your listener how he or she would react if you were to show an announcement from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue admitting that the tax doesn't apply to the earnings of most Americans and is misapplied most of the time because people don't understand how it works? Or how about if you showed a ruling from the Supreme Court saying the same?

Now you just have to explain that you're going to show exactly those things-- but because the state really doesn't want people to know this, these things haven't been said quite as forthrightly as we would all wish. It's going to take a bit more work to take these admissions in than is sufficient for just reading a press release. But it'll be worth the effort...

How Long Can Christians Continue To Turn A Blind Eye To Israel's Atrocities?

by Chuck Baldwin

The regathering of Israel that notable 18th-century Bible scholar Matthew Henry (and other post-Reformation writers) foresaw in his famous commentaries was a generation of Hebrews that would come to the saving faith in Jesus Christ, accepting Him as the Messiah that their forebears had rejected and crucified. (I diverge from the great Matthew Henry’s prophetic interpretations in Revelation Chapters 15 and 16.) The regathering of Israel that the ignoble false prophecy teacher Cyrus Scofield (1843 – 1921) described in his reference Bible was the rise of national Israel, which, according to Scofield’s disciples, was fulfilled with the creation of the Zionist state in 1948.

Tragically, the latter is the dominant view of evangelical prophecy teachings today.

I submit that if Matthew Henry had lived during the time of Scofield—and especially after the creation of Zionist Israel in 1948—he would have absolutely and positively rejected Scofield’s heresies (as did the great Charles Spurgeon, who was a contemporary of Scofield) and would have vociferously rejected the doctrine of Christian Zionism that was spawned by the notes in Scofield’s Reference Bible.

Matthew Henry never envisioned a bloodthirsty, murderous, genocidal state that would callously and without conscience annihilate hundreds of thousands—even millions—of innocent people, including many thousands of God’s New Covenant people, Christians, as being the Israel of God (Galatians 6:16). Nor could he ever have envisioned generations of his fellow Christians turning a blind eye to or even cheering on those who would commit such a horrific, heinous, inhumane slaughter of innocents.

What we are witnessing today has never been seen since the advent of Western civilization.

Obviously, there have been diabolical and demented mass killers before, but never have we seen Christian people—almost as a whole—excuse, defend, facilitate and actively support and assist the maniacal, murderous monsters.

Historically, Christians have been the most persecuted people of faith in the 2,000-year Church era. Our Christian ancestors knew the bitter taste of political, religious and civil suffering. And never did they allow themselves to indulge in the appetite for murder and aggression—even against their enemies. They were, after all, the disciples of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6); and they boldly proclaimed the gospel of peace. (Romans 10:15; Ephesians 6:15)

This is NOT the Christianity that we see today.

The last twelve months have unveiled a racist, bloodthirsty, maniacal Israeli society that looks at people of other races as nonhuman. They are described as animals. The babies born to their mothers are called little snakes. These killers recognize no law but their own—not international law, not Natural law, not moral law, not Biblical law, not even the law of humanity. They kill at will. Defenseless women and children are slaughtered like cattle. They celebrate death and destruction. They are willing to take the world into global nuclear war to achieve their goal of complete ethnic purging of the Palestinian people. They are wholly without conscience.

Yet, in the Christian West, we find abject apathy or even exuberant excitement for this satanic behavior. Our national government protects and defends it. Worse than that: It assists and facilitates this murderous madness by providing money, weapons of mass destruction, satellite surveillance, intelligence, etc., to the Zionist zealots of death.

Make no mistake about it: The United States of America is as culpable in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocents in Palestine as are the Israelis. So, too, are those Americans—including Christians—who in their hearts support Israel’s genocide.

One must understand that the disease of racial superiority being flaunted by the Israelis does not confine its self-acclaimed preeminence over the Palestinians only. In the minds of Benjamin Netanyahu and his fellow eugenists, every goy (gentile) is nonhuman and, thus, warrants any act of racial cleansing.

I’ll let former CIA intelligence officer Phil Giraldi pick up from here:

...and then proceed to the afterword below...

Afterword

SO, THIS ARTICLE BY CHUCK BALDWIN is timely for me. I had never heard of the "Scofield Reference Bible" until just a month or so back, and what I then learned is that this thing is a key element in the very harmful infestation known as "Christian Zionism"-- a sect within the larger community of Christianity.

Christian Zionists have been led to believe that whoever establishes a state called "Israel" in the land of Palestine (a land never previously called "Israel", btw, even in Biblical times) must be afforded all deference, even unto overlooking the most grotesque immorality carried out by individual Israelis or as state policy. Likewise, according to Christian Zionists, whoever establishes a state called "Israel" in the land of Palestine must be given all possible aid-- even aid picked from other people's pockets, and even aid with which atrocities will be committed. Further, whoever establishes a state called "Israel" in the land of Palestine must always be praised and never criticized.

These utterly cultish notions-- the effect of which is to prompt Christian Zionists to embrace, enable and even participate in positions and behaviors which are directly at odds with Christ's express teachings-- stem from a conflation of whoever establishes a state called "Israel" in the land of Palestine with the Biblical tribes of Israel and particular assumptions (ill-founded ones, per my sketchy layman's knowledge of Biblical text) about the durability of "chosen people" status (not to mention the inherently contradictory prospect of an all-loving creator having an especially-favored ethnicity to which others sharing the same image and origin must defer).

Also in the mix is the belief held by Christian Zionists that upon the happening of a specific series of events, one of which is the establishment of a state called "Israel" in the land of Palestine, the world will end and the Zionists will be wafted up to Heaven, regardless of how many hideous crimes they may have committed or overlooked in setting the stage for this event, which they call the Rapture.

As a consequence of these beliefs (in the recital and summation of which I have doubtless done much less justice to the subject than could and would be done by others with more than my very small knowledge of all this), Christian Zionists-- over-represented in the American political class, especially amongst Republicans-- have long been the chief enablers of Israeli crimes against humanity. Worse, these politically-placed Zionists do their enabling with every American's blood, treasure, and standing in the world, rather than only with their own.

Politically-placed Zionists make their crimes into crimes of every American, and it seems that the "Scofield Reference Bible", in which Cyrus Scofield presumptuously presents his personal interpretation of various Biblical passages and concepts as authoritative-- confident, no doubt, that his simplistic offerings will be absorbed and embraced by average readers unlikely to do their own deep and thoughtful study of the long and often complicated text-- has played an oversized role in prompting those crimes.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, since hearing about this "reference bible" I have been very interested in learning more. Chuck Baldwin, a Christian pastor and Biblical scholar, offers that additional information from an especially useful perspective.

Most important in Baldwin's piece, in my view, is his observation that Scofield's interpretations of Biblical text are contradicted by long-respected and time-tested scholarship, a fact which comports well with the simple common-sense critiques of Zionist doctrine such as the few I have outlined above. The sect's impact being so pernicious both here at home and elsewhere in the world, such rebuttals and reproaches are very much needed.

I hope that Baldwin quickly offers more of the same, and that others in the scholarly theological community step up with their own critiques and correctives. It may be late in the game for much of a dent to be made in the minds of those enthralled by the Zionist cult view, it being a germ that takes root in childhood. But equipping the rest of the country with a better picture of what is going on in the minds of Israel über alles- types, in Congress and elsewhere, is important.

BY THE WAY, I HAVE TO OBSERVE that there's a glaring irony to the "Scofield Reference Bible" thing. This is due to the fact that those taken in by it are specifically Protestant Christians.

A chief defining characteristic of Protestantism is opposition to the Catholic doctrine of biblical text being interpreted for the faithful by church "experts". And yet, those taken in by the Scofield scam have resumed the spoken-down-to status rejected by their predecessors in the Reformation six hundred years ago. They have simply replaced the Roman Catholic theologians of the Middle Ages with this alternative self-proclaimed "expert".

I ALSO MUST OBSERVE that the whole issue of religious belief inserting itself into American politics, as in the case of Zionists attempting to realize their religious doctrinal goals through the deployment of American resources, is heretical to the real "religion" of America, which is that of sovereign individuals by whom government is created for the securing of their liberty.

It is that individual sovereignty that is the American creed insofar as the state and its proper purposes are concerned; and it is the Declaration of Independence, the writings of John Locke and Adam Smith, and the various American Constitutions that are among the scriptures of what we might call the Church of America.

The expenditure of American government resources for any purpose other than the securing of Americans' individual rights is prima facie sinful, under Church of America doctrine. This is so whether that purpose is charitable or even one of seeming (or, at least, asserted) urgency, such as "climate change" mitigation.

The sin is especially dire when the expenditure of American government resources is expressly for the benefit of an alien people and their state. It is still more so when that expenditure will be used to violate the rights and crush the liberty of yet a third people (and now a fourth, when Israeli/Zionist violence has been turned on the people of Lebanon in addition to the long-victimized Palestinians).

Perhaps ensuring a wider understanding among the American people of the Zionist project as heretical to the Church of America, and of the "Scofield Reference Bible" by which that project is fueled to a great degree-- and which, interestingly, appeared shortly after Zionism and the notion of a state of Israel was conceived and gotten started downhill by Theodor Herzl in the late nineteenth century-- will help guide us back to a national state of virtue in our foreign policy.

MEANTIME, OR AT THE SAME TIME, we can hope-- and work toward ensuring-- that a large-enough portion of the American population quickly learn the truth about the income tax and begin saying "NO!" along with the CtC community, such that even though in the hands of sinful Zionists Washington becomes bereft of the resources to continue its participation in crimes in the Middle East.

Such an effort is easier than ever now, with the US Supreme Court having just reaffirmed its 108-year-old ruling in Brushaber v. Union Pacific RR. Co., acknowledging the truth about the income tax revealed in CtC.

Remember, the arising and sustenance of the Leviathan state monster used-- directly and indirectly-- to wreak all the death and destruction in the Middle East (and Eastern Europe, too) is a direct result of the successful mis-administration of the US income tax laws. This began primarily in the early 1940s with the adoption of the Current Tax Payment Act of 1943 amidst the tumult of WWII, and after a couple of decades of corrupt misrepresentation of the 16th Amendment's purpose and effect, despite that misrepresentation being squarely in defiance of the history of the amendment and multiple express Supreme Court rulings on the subject.

Shrinking that Leviathan state monster merely involves the reversing of that misadministration-- something that can be done by individual Americans, acting one-by-one, with no help or approval of any government official. Each such act makes use of state-restraining tools baked into the Constitutional cake by the Founders and Framers, and each such act WILL make a difference, however small. Most important, each such act will absolve the actor from the dishonor of participation in the heinous crimes their resources would otherwise finance.

All that is required is some knowledge (which can be gotten here), and some courage-- the latter of which naturally blooms in the hearts of real Americans when given the nourishment of the former. As the saying goes, America is the Land of the Free because it is the Home of the Brave.

You can find all of this explained here, along with links to some additional relevant resources.

Read that material, and then become an agent of change. Urge everyone you know to do both of these things, as well.

Seriously, people. It's time to stop whistling past the graveyard and start using the powerful and important tools with which our wise ancestors equipped us.

A Little Extra

EVEN AS ARDENT A STATIST as Abraham Lincoln, in announcing his willingness to burn the Southern states to the ground in order to keep them paying the tariff for the benefit of Northern interests in his first inaugural address on March 4, 1861, paid at least lip service to the Founders design of leaving control over the fuel available to feed the fires Washington wants to light in the hands of the individual citizenry when he said, "Doing this I deem to be only a simple duty on my part; and I shall perform it, unless my rightful masters, the American people, shall withhold the requisite means..."

I mean someone who finds it easier to believe that the far-better-educated, far-more-suspicious-of-government Americans of a hundred years ago were complete morons who granted authority to the state to take whatever it wished from themselves and their posterity than to imagine that they themselves simply misunderstand the true nature of the income tax? Even while knowing that their beliefs about the tax are derived entirely from the representations of those who profit from those beliefs (like tax bureaucrats and "tax professionals")?
