wnd--2020-06-08--Second coming? The '1,000-year day' timetable says soon

It is always best to let the Bible interpret the Bible .
When it comes to understanding the `` last days '' there are a few straightforward Scripture passages that summarize what and when the `` last days '' are .
The first tells us precisely when the last days began .
In the very first sermon of the Christian church , the Apostle Peter , in Acts 2 , `` lifted up his voice , and addressed the crowd : 'Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem , let this be known to you , and listen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are not drunk , as you suppose .
It is only the third hour of the day !
No , this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel : 'In the last days , God says , I will pour out My Spirit on all people .
… I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below , blood and fire and billows of smoke .
The sun will be turned to darkness , and the moon to blood , before the coming of the great and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved . '
Men of Israel , listen to this message .
… '' We note first that the last days must be a very long period , not a short one , because they include the Day of the Lord ( the second coming ) which obviously has n't happened yet after nearly 2,000 years .
Why would such a long period of time be counted as `` days '' ?
TRENDING : Trump 's congressional endorsements result in undefeated record @ @ @ @ @ @ @ answers that question in his teaching about the `` Day of the Lord '' in 2 Peter 3:8-13 : '' Beloved , do not let this one thing escape your notice : With the Lord a day is like a thousand years , and a thousand years are like a day .
The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness , but is patient with you , not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance .
But the Day of the Lord will come like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a roar , the elements will be destroyed by fire … Since everything will be destroyed in this way , what kind of people ought you to be ?
You ought to conduct yourselves in holiness and godliness as you anticipate and hasten the coming of the day of God , when the heavens will be destroyed by fire and the elements will melt in the heat .
But in keeping with God 's promise , we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth , where righteousness dwells @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drawn from this passage .
The familiar one is the thousand-year day concept , which is strongly bolstered by the incredible prophecy of Christ 's coming in Hosea 6:1-4 ( which also acknowledged the separateness of the two houses at the time of Christ 's first advent , just as Peter did in Acts 2 ) : Point 1 : `` Come , let us return to the LORD .
For He has torn us to pieces , but He will heal us ; He has wounded us , but He will bind @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He will revive us ; on the third day He will raise us up , that we may live in His presence .
[ These are the thousand-year days referenced by Peter . ]
So let us know – let us press on to know the LORD .
As surely as the sun rises , He will appear ; He will come to us like the rain , like the spring showers that water the earth .
[ This is a reference to the alignment of the first coming of Christ to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ What shall I do with you , O Ephraim ?
What shall I do with you , O Judah ?
[ This is the two house emphasis in the prophecy in parallel to Acts 2:14 & 22 . ]
For your loyalty is like a morning mist , like the early dew that vanishes . ''
The second point to be drawn from 2 Peter 3:8-13 is that the Day of the Lord is also a thousand-year day , specifically His thousand year reign in the `` Millennial Kingdom . ''
It arrives @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the destruction of all physical matter .
The entire thousand-year day is compressed by Peter into a single sentence , but , Jesus uses John to unpack what happens between the bookends .
In Revelation 19-22 , a mind-blowing description of the second coming in 19:11-21 , is followed by 20:1-6 unequivocally confirming three separate times that the Millennial Kingdom is indeed a thousand-year term – ( remember that this is Jesus Himself speaking , through John ) , then describes the events of the close of the thousand years in 20:7-15 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Throne judgement , Lake of Fire ) .
Revelation 21-22 then follows chronologically with a detailed discussion of what Peter called the `` new heaven and new earth where righteousness dwells '' ( Heaven ) , which the righteous enter while the all of the creation is being destroyed by fire .
To review , there are three last days of a thousand years each .
They began running at the first coming .
We are near the close of the two day period of 2,000 years , which apparently began running either @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ' earthly ministry ( in no case later than the Peter 's Pentecost sermon ) and thus the third day will begin soon , when Hosea said God will revive us so we can live in His presence ( the Millennial Kingdom ) .
This analysis comports with the pattern of the Seven Biblical Feasts ( the times and seasons ) , to which the first and second coming align , the pattern of the seven days of creation ( and 7,000-year duration of the Creation Story ) and the pattern of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ends with the Sabbath .
The Millennial Kingdom is the Sabbath Day of the 7,000-year Creation week .
So , depending on when exactly the last days clock started , and whether or not the transition from one `` day '' to the next is abrupt and precise , and whether we 're using the lunar or solar calendar , we 're likely going to see the return of the Lord within a fairly short window of time : months perhaps , years probably , but not decades , if Hosea 6 is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to us , as I believe it is .

It is always best to let the Bible interpret the Bible. When it comes to understanding the "last days" there are a few straightforward Scripture passages that summarize what and when the "last days" are.
The first tells us precisely when the last days began.
In the very first sermon of the Christian church, the Apostle Peter, in Acts 2, "lifted up his voice, and addressed the crowd:
'Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen carefully to my words. These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It is only the third hour of the day! No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 'In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. … I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord. And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.' Men of Israel, listen to this message. …"
We note first that the last days must be a very long period, not a short one, because they include the Day of the Lord (the second coming) which obviously hasn't happened yet after nearly 2,000 years. Why would such a long period of time be counted as "days"?
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
Peter directly answers that question in his teaching about the "Day of the Lord" in 2 Peter 3:8-13:
"Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance. But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire … Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to conduct yourselves in holiness and godliness as you anticipate and hasten the coming of the day of God, when the heavens will be destroyed by fire and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with God's promise, we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells."
Two main points can be drawn from this passage. The familiar one is the thousand-year day concept, which is strongly bolstered by the incredible prophecy of Christ's coming in Hosea 6:1-4 (which also acknowledged the separateness of the two houses at the time of Christ's first advent, just as Peter did in Acts 2):
Point 1: "Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn us to pieces, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bind up our wounds. After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence. [These are the thousand-year days referenced by Peter.] So let us know – let us press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the earth. [This is a reference to the alignment of the first coming of Christ to the spring feasts of Leviticus 23.] What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? [This is the two house emphasis in the prophecy in parallel to Acts 2:14 & 22.] For your loyalty is like a morning mist, like the early dew that vanishes."
The second point to be drawn from 2 Peter 3:8-13 is that the Day of the Lord is also a thousand-year day, specifically His thousand year reign in the "Millennial Kingdom." It arrives "like a thief" and ends with the destruction of all physical matter. The entire thousand-year day is compressed by Peter into a single sentence, but, Jesus uses John to unpack what happens between the bookends. In Revelation 19-22, a mind-blowing description of the second coming in 19:11-21, is followed by 20:1-6 unequivocally confirming three separate times that the Millennial Kingdom is indeed a thousand-year term – (remember that this is Jesus Himself speaking, through John), then describes the events of the close of the thousand years in 20:7-15 (the final rebellion, Great White Throne judgement, Lake of Fire). Revelation 21-22 then follows chronologically with a detailed discussion of what Peter called the "new heaven and new earth where righteousness dwells" (Heaven), which the righteous enter while the all of the creation is being destroyed by fire.
To review, there are three last days of a thousand years each. They began running at the first coming. We are near the close of the two day period of 2,000 years, which apparently began running either at the start or end of Jesus' earthly ministry (in no case later than the Peter's Pentecost sermon) and thus the third day will begin soon, when Hosea said God will revive us so we can live in His presence (the Millennial Kingdom).
This analysis comports with the pattern of the Seven Biblical Feasts (the times and seasons), to which the first and second coming align, the pattern of the seven days of creation (and 7,000-year duration of the Creation Story) and the pattern of the seven "day" week that always ends with the Sabbath. The Millennial Kingdom is the Sabbath Day of the 7,000-year Creation week.
So, depending on when exactly the last days clock started, and whether or not the transition from one "day" to the next is abrupt and precise, and whether we're using the lunar or solar calendar, we're likely going to see the return of the Lord within a fairly short window of time: months perhaps, years probably, but not decades, if Hosea 6 is intended to convey God's time frame to us, as I believe it is.

wnd--2020-06-09--The Four Horsemen of America's Apocalypse

It takes a lot to build a civilization , and though it is much easier to destroy a civilization , it takes a lot to do that , too .
But now we have four roots of evil that are guaranteed to do so .
The first is victimhood .
The more people who regard themselves as victims – as individuals or as a group – the more likely they are to commit evil .
People who think of themselves as victims feel that , having been victimized , they are no longer bound by normal moral conventions – especially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ real oppressors .
Everyone knows this is true .
But few confront this truth .
Every parent , for example , knows that the child who thinks of him or herself as a perpetual victim is the child most likely to cause and get into trouble .
And criminologists report that nearly every murderer in prison thinks of himself as a victim .
TRENDING : Trump 's congressional endorsements result in undefeated record of 64-0 for Republican candidates On a societal scale , the same holds true – and being on such a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ evil ensuing are exponentially increased .
One of the most obvious examples is Germany after World War I .
Most Germans regarded themselves as victims – of the Treaty of Versailles ; of a `` stab in the back '' German government ; of the British , Americans and French ; and , of course , of the Jews .
This sense of victimhood was one of the most important factors in the popularity of the Nazis , who promised to restore German dignity .
That millions of black Americans regard themselves as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at any time in the past 50 years – can only lead to disaster for America generally and for blacks specifically .
While victims generally feel free to lash out at others , they also go through life angry and unhappy .
The second of the four ingredients of this civilization-destroying witches ' brew is demonization – demonizing a group as inherently evil .
That is being done now with regard to the white people of America .
All – again , all – whites are declared racist .
The only difference among @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some deny it .
The notion that whites are inherently evil has long been associated with Louis Farrakhan .
But it has apparently migrated out from his relatively small following to many blacks , even those who might consider Farrakhan a kook .
Former President Barack Obama , hardly a Farrakhan follower , described America as having racism in its DNA .
That is as close to inherently and irredeemably evil as it gets ; you can not change your DNA .
In that sense , not only are whites demonized , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ liberals , the left regards America as a moral cesspool – not only racist but , according to The New York Times , founded to be so .
The New York Times has created a history of America that declares its founding not in 1776 but in 1619 , when the first black slaves arrived .
The American Revolution was fought , according to this malign narrative , not merely for American independence but in order to preserve slavery , a practice the British would have interfered with .
This `` history '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American schools .
The combination of victimhood and demonization alone is dangerous enough .
But there are still two more horsemen galloping toward the looming apocalypse .
No .
3 : A Cause To Believe In .
Most Americans throughout American history found great meaning in being American and in being religious – usually Christian .
Since World War II , we have lived in a post-Christian , post-nationalist age .
Until very recently , Americans would have found the expression `` for God and country '' deeply meaningful ; that term today @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and execrable .
But people need something to believe in .
The need for meaning is the greatest human need after the need for food .
Leftism , with all its offshoots – feminism , environmentalism , Black Lives Matter , Antifa – has filled that vacuum .
In Europe , communism , fascism and Nazism filled the hole left by the demise of nationalism and Christianity .
Here it is leftism and its offshoots .
The fourth and most important ingredient necessary for evil is lies .
Lies are the root of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made possible only because of the lie that the black was inferior to the white .
Nazism was made possible thanks to the lie that Jews were not fully human .
And communism was built on lies .
Lenin , the father of Soviet communism , named the Soviet communist newspaper `` Truth '' ( `` Pravda '' ) because truth was what the Communist Party said it was .
The New York Times , CNN and the rest of the mainstream `` news '' media are becoming our version of Pravda .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ left .
The universities have already declared `` objective truth '' as essentially an expression of `` white privilege . ''
See what happens to a student who says in class , for example , that `` men can not give birth . ''
The public self-debasement demanded of anyone who differs with the left – like New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees just did when he said not standing for the national anthem desecrated the flag and those who have died for it – happens almost daily .
The only difference between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's Cultural Revolution is that the self-debasement here is voluntary – thus far .
Last week , when this Jew saw a store in Santa Monica with a sign reading `` black-owned business '' so as to avoid being destroyed , it evoked chilling memories .
That 's how bad it is in America today .

It takes a lot to build a civilization, and though it is much easier to destroy a civilization, it takes a lot to do that, too.
But now we have four roots of evil that are guaranteed to do so.
No. 1: Victimhood.
The first is victimhood. The more people who regard themselves as victims – as individuals or as a group – the more likely they are to commit evil. People who think of themselves as victims feel that, having been victimized, they are no longer bound by normal moral conventions – especially the moral conventions of their alleged or real oppressors.
Everyone knows this is true. But few confront this truth. Every parent, for example, knows that the child who thinks of him or herself as a perpetual victim is the child most likely to cause and get into trouble. And criminologists report that nearly every murderer in prison thinks of himself as a victim.
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
On a societal scale, the same holds true – and being on such a larger scale, the chances of real evil ensuing are exponentially increased. One of the most obvious examples is Germany after World War I. Most Germans regarded themselves as victims – of the Treaty of Versailles; of a "stab in the back" German government; of the British, Americans and French; and, of course, of the Jews. This sense of victimhood was one of the most important factors in the popularity of the Nazis, who promised to restore German dignity.

In that sense, not only are whites demonized, but America is, too. Unlike traditional liberals, the left regards America as a moral cesspool – not only racist but, according to The New York Times, founded to be so. The New York Times has created a history of America that declares its founding not in 1776 but in 1619, when the first black slaves arrived. The American Revolution was fought, according to this malign narrative, not merely for American independence but in order to preserve slavery, a practice the British would have interfered with. This "history" will now be taught in thousands of American schools.
The combination of victimhood and demonization alone is dangerous enough. But there are still two more horsemen galloping toward the looming apocalypse.
No. 3: A Cause To Believe In.
Most Americans throughout American history found great meaning in being American and in being religious – usually Christian. Since World War II, we have lived in a post-Christian, post-nationalist age. Until very recently, Americans would have found the expression "for God and country" deeply meaningful; that term today, on the left, is risible and execrable.

The fourth and most important ingredient necessary for evil is lies. Lies are the root of evil. Ironically, slavery itself was made possible only because of the lie that the black was inferior to the white. Nazism was made possible thanks to the lie that Jews were not fully human.

The coronavirus has hit New Jersey harder than any state except New York, the publication reported. More than 12,200 residents of New Jersey have died due to the virus since March 4. The state will enter Phase Two of the governor’s reopening plan on June 15.
Phase Two will allow nonessential retailers and restaurants to offer in person services on June 15 but prevent hair salons and barber shops from opening until June 22.
“We are ready to move to Stage Two of our restart and recovery,” Murphy said June 1. “And, assuming we do not see a precipitous backslide which would put the brakes to our plans — and we reserve that right — we will enter Stage Two on Monday, June 15,” Murphy said during his daily coronavirus press briefing in Trenton.
Many New Jersey businesses have received citations for failure to follow Murphy’s executive orders, Politico reported, while at least two protests against the lockdown have been charged with violating New Jersey’s stay-at-home order.

wnd--2020-06-10--Tucker Carlson: Black Lives Matter is not about 'black lives'

Over the weekend , something unprecedented happened in America .
`` A small group of highly aggressive emotionally charged activists took over our culture .
They forced the entire country to obey their will .
It all happened so fast and with such ferocity that virtually no one resisted it , '' said Tucker Carlson on his Fox News show Monday night .
He was referring to the breathtaking pace at which `` statements of fact and opinion that were entirely within the bounds of reasonable conversation '' became `` enough to get you fired from your job . ''
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the new rule has become : `` You are not allowed to question Black Lives Matter in any way . ''
The radical organization is not about `` black lives , '' it 's a `` political party , maybe the strongest political party in the United States , '' Carlson said .
`` Its members believe they can reshape this country and so far , they 're proving to be right . ''
Over the past week , BLM 's wildly irrational chief policy prescription , `` defund police , '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The president of the Minneapolis City Council , Lisa Bender , told CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota on Monday that the belief that citizens should be able to call the police if someone breaks into their home `` comes from a place of privilege because for those of us for whom the system is working . ''
`` I think we need to step back and imagine what it would feel like to already live in that reality , where calling the police may mean more harm is done , '' Bender said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors contended in an interview last week that only `` radical shifts '' can stop law enforcement violence .
`` The demand of defunding law enforcement becomes a central demand in how we actually get real accountability and justice , because it means we are reducing the ability of law enforcement to have resources that harm our communities , '' she told Boston NPR station WBUR .
Cullors said she does n't take seriously the `` disingenuous '' act of police officers taking a knee .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is not stopping the deaths of our community members , '' she said .
`` We need transformation .
These things don ’ t happen through police taking a knee at protests and then right after they take a knee , getting up and tear-gassing us and rubber bulleting us and beating us with batons . ''
Black Lives Matter has 13 guiding principles that include being `` committed to fostering a queer‐affirming network '' and `` freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking . ''
The group is also committed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dismantle cis-gender privilege and uplift Black trans folk , especially Black trans women who continue to be disproportionately impacted by trans-antagonistic violence . ''
Significantly , with many black leaders saying the biggest problem they face is fatherless homes , Black Lives Matter is against the `` Western '' idea of the nuclear family , preferring a collectivist authority over children .
`` We are committed to disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and 'villages ' that collectively care for one another , and especially @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mothers , parents and children are comfortable , '' the organization says .
On Saturday , the liberal mayor of Minneapolis , Jacob Frey , made the mistake of putting himself in a position where he could be asked directly by activists his position on defunding police .
Carlson ran a video of a female activist looking down to Frey from a stage asking , `` Yes or no , will you commit to defunding Minneapolis Police Department ? ''
Frey asked for clarification : `` The abolition of it ? ''
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say ?
We do n't want no more police . ''
Frey said he does `` not support the full abolition of the police department . ''
The activist responded : `` [ Expletive ] .
You 're wasting our time .
Get the [ expletive ] out of here . ''
The crowd began chanting : `` Go home , Jacob .
Go home , Jacob .
Go home .
Go home , Jacob . ''
Instead of confronting the activist , Carlson said , Frey `` slunk away like a child @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most telling moment , he said , was when the activist threatened to defeat Frey in the next election , confirming that BLM is in fact a political party .
`` You can always tell which political movements are ascendant , which are headed up , by how straightforward their members and sympathizers are about what they believe , '' he said .
`` Strong people say what they think out loud .
They have no reason not to .
They 're not embarrassed about their beliefs .
They think they 're winning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's attorney general , Keith Ellison , now is arguing it 's wrong for police to bring guns to domestic violence calls .
The Fox News host warned that while Ellison is considered a radical , it 's easy to imagine him becoming attorney general of the United States if Joe Biden is elected president .
`` Again , all of this probably strikes you as wild-eyed craziness , flat Earth stuff .
Eliminate the police ?
Really ?
But things change fast .
Look how quickly they changed just over the weekend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is `` a move toward authoritarian social control , cloaked in the language of identity politics . ''
He offered examples of the new rule that Black Lives Matter can not be questioned in any way .

Armed with a rifle , she said : `` I have a message for Antifa terrorists .
Stay the hell out of Northwest Georgia .
You wo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ businesses or destroy our homes . ''
`` So , Facebook has a policy against violence -- not the violence engulfing our cities , but the violence of you defending your family , '' Carlson said .
`` They create the chaos , you 're not allowed to defend yourself .
You are , in other words -- and this is , of course , the point -- wholly dependent upon them . ''
In Vancouver , Canada , a men 's basketball coach was fired for liking a tweet that questioned Black @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Major League Soccer team , the Los Angeles Galaxy , was fired because his wife said something critical online .
`` Imagine being a high school student right now .
High school students who refuse to show affirmative support for Black Lives Matter on their Instagram accounts were shunned by their friends , '' he said .
`` Journalists who asked too many questions about the group were fired or silenced .
Again , not an exaggeration . ''
The media were in on it as well , Carlson said , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ demanding that people disown family members who fail to support Black Lives Matter with enough enthusiasm .
`` Tell your relatives , tell your friends , '' Carlson said .
`` You will not be visiting or answering phone calls until they take significant action in supporting black lives through protest or financial contributions . ''
He said that in `` an environment like this , most people get the message very fast and the weak ones are quick to join in just like the good Red Guards they have always been underneath @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Black Lives Matter activist who admitted in an interview on Saturday he may soon incinerate people with gasoline .
Meanwhile , D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has renamed a park near the White House `` Black Lives Matter Plaza '' and had `` Black Lives Matter '' painted in huge block letters across three blocks leading up to the White House .
The D.C. Chapter of the group released a statement attacking Bowser for not giving them complete control of the city 's police department .
`` This is to appease white liberals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Matter means defund the police , '' BLM charged .
Carlson concluded his segment with some hope , reminding viewers that `` truth is a defense . ''
`` No matter what they 're telling you at this moment , this moment will pass .
Remember that .
All moments do , '' he said .
`` When it does , we will look back at what we just saw in horror and disbelief . ''

'Reducing ... resources that harm'
Defending the push for defunding police, Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors contended in an interview last week that only "radical shifts" can stop law enforcement violence.

Significantly, with many black leaders saying the biggest problem they face is fatherless homes, Black Lives Matter is against the "Western" idea of the nuclear family, preferring a collectivist authority over children.
"We are committed to disrupting the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and 'villages' that collectively care for one another, and especially 'our' children to the degree that mothers, parents and children are comfortable," the organization says.
'Go home, Jacob'
On Saturday, the liberal mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, made the mistake of putting himself in a position where he could be asked directly by activists his position on defunding police.
Carlson ran a video of a female activist looking down to Frey from a stage asking, "Yes or no, will you commit to defunding Minneapolis Police Department?"
Frey asked for clarification: "The abolition of it?"
The activist replied: "What did I say? We don't want no more police."
Frey said he does "not support the full abolition of the police department."
The activist responded: "[Expletive]. You're wasting our time. Get the [expletive] out of here."
The crowd began chanting: "Go home, Jacob. Go home, Jacob. Go home. Go home, Jacob."
Instead of confronting the activist, Carlson said, Frey "slunk away like a child caught doing something filthy."
The most telling moment, he said, was when the activist threatened to defeat Frey in the next election, confirming that BLM is in fact a political party.
"You can always tell which political movements are ascendant, which are headed up, by how straightforward their members and sympathizers are about what they believe," he said. "Strong people say what they think out loud. They have no reason not to. They're not embarrassed about their beliefs. They think they're winning."

wnd--2020-06-09--Anti-Trump actress falsely puts a Bible in Hitler's hand

Last week , during some of the race-related protests , President Trump famously held up a Bible in one hand outside of an historic D.C. church rioters had set afire .
Actress Debra Messing ( `` Will and Grace '' ) then sent out a tweet in which she showed Trump with the Bible , and next to it she juxtaposed a picture of Hitler supposedly holding a Bible .
She had the caption : `` A dog whistle to white nationalists and Nazis . ''
She also declared , `` This is no accident ! ''
Of course , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a total fake .
Furthermore , putting a Bible in Hitler 's hands is totally incorrect on every front .
I realize that actors and actresses are not necessarily well-read when it comes to history , but it 's important to be clear about this .
If there is any book Hitler did not approve of , it was the Bible .
The leader of the Nazi Party rued the day that Christian missionaries ever set foot in his beloved Germany .
One of the best books on Adolf Hitler was written @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Richard Weikart .
He is perhaps best-known for his book `` From Darwin to Hitler . ''
He also wrote an important book a few years ago called `` Hitler 's Religion : The Twisted Beliefs That Drove the Third Reich . ''
What was Hitler 's religion ?
Short answer : Nature , red with tooth and claw – not the Christian God by a long shot .
Just a few quotes from Weikart 's book on Hitler and the Bible show how ignorant Messing 's tweet was , not to mention @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a radical anti-Semite , his characterization of Christianity as a Jewish plot was about as harsh an indictment as he could bring against Christianity . ''

• `` He regretted that Finnish people 's religiosity was based on the Bible because it was permeated with Jewishness .
According to Hitler , religious people like the Finns , who during long winters seek their religion in the Bible , 'must become mentally crippled ' and fall into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hitler lamented that the Bible had been translated into German , because this made Jewish doctrines readily available to the German people .

• `` Hitler harshly castigated Christianity for not supporting his eugenics and racial ideology . ''
This is just a smattering of anti-Bible examples found in Weikart 's book , showing that Hitler had no tolerance for Christianity ( although he sometimes hid that antipathy for political purposes ) .
Hitler denied that Jesus did miracles , that He was divine , that His death was anything @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the dead .
Hitler even denied that Jesus was Jewish .
I shared the article about Debra Messing 's ignorant tweet with Dr. Weikart ( who has also written on the tendentious Trump-Hitler comparisons ) and asked him if he would provide me a statement or two for this column .
Weikart told me , `` Hitler rejected the Old Testament as a book of Jewish provenance , and he scorned the apostle Paul , who wrote about half the New Testament , as a sneaky Jewish rabbi who corrupted Christianity from its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bible stories that corresponded with his worldview , such as Jesus driving the Jews out of the Temple because of their greed , or Jesus saying that he had come not to bring peace , but a sword .

He answered , `` Most German Protestants ( and Protestantism was in the majority in Germany ) by the 20th century did not view the Bible as historically ( or doctrinally ) accurate , because they had embraced liberal theology , which denied that the biblical text was accurate . ''
Of course , Messing 's silly tweet overlooks the fact that numerous U.S. presidents have been photographed holding Bibles .

He also wrote an important book a few years ago called "Hitler's Religion: The Twisted Beliefs That Drove the Third Reich." What was Hitler's religion? Short answer: Nature, red with tooth and claw – not the Christian God by a long shot.
Just a few quotes from Weikart's book on Hitler and the Bible show how ignorant Messing's tweet was, not to mention deceptive.
"Since Hitler was a radical anti-Semite, his characterization of Christianity as a Jewish plot was about as harsh an indictment as he could bring against Christianity."
"He saw the Old Testament as the antithesis of everything he stood for."
"He regretted that Finnish people's religiosity was based on the Bible because it was permeated with Jewishness. According to Hitler, religious people like the Finns, who during long winters seek their religion in the Bible, 'must become mentally crippled' and fall into 'religious delusion.'"
"Hitler lamented that the Bible had been translated into German, because this made Jewish doctrines readily available to the German people. It would have been better, he stated, if the Bible had remained only in Latin, rather than causing mental disorders and delusions."

"Hitler harshly castigated Christianity for not supporting his eugenics and racial ideology."
This is just a smattering of anti-Bible examples found in Weikart's book, showing that Hitler had no tolerance for Christianity (although he sometimes hid that antipathy for political purposes).
Hitler denied that Jesus did miracles, that He was divine, that His death was anything but martyrdom and that He rose from the dead. Hitler even denied that Jesus was Jewish.
I shared the article about Debra Messing's ignorant tweet with Dr. Weikart (who has also written on the tendentious Trump-Hitler comparisons) and asked him if he would provide me a statement or two for this column.
Weikart told me, "Hitler rejected the Old Testament as a book of Jewish provenance, and he scorned the apostle Paul, who wrote about half the New Testament, as a sneaky Jewish rabbi who corrupted Christianity from its earliest phases. He liked a few Bible stories that corresponded with his worldview, such as Jesus driving the Jews out of the Temple because of their greed, or Jesus saying that he had come not to bring peace, but a sword. However, he forthrightly criticized Jesus' teaching about turning the other cheek. He also once stated, 'The New Testament is full of contradictions.' Clearly, Hitler did not have much respect for the Bible."
Furthermore, I asked Weikart if the German people prior to the rise of Hitler were steeped in the Bible – as many of them had been in previous centuries.
He answered, "Most German Protestants (and Protestantism was in the majority in Germany) by the 20th century did not view the Bible as historically (or doctrinally) accurate, because they had embraced liberal theology, which denied that the biblical text was accurate."
Of course, Messing's silly tweet overlooks the fact that numerous U.S. presidents have been photographed holding Bibles. In fact, a photograph of Bill Clinton holding a Bible in front of the exact same church resurfaced recently.
It's not surprising that the photo of Hitler holding a Bible in Messing's tweet was fake. Hitler and his ardent followers had no use for that book.


wnd--2020-06-09--I was suing Antifa years ago – and now it's on appeal!

Monday I appeared before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit seeking to overturn the dismissal by a Clinton-appointed federal judge , Claudia Wilkens , who presided over a lawsuit I had filed for a courageous , young , conservative , pro-Trump , gay woman , Kiara Robles , who wanted to attend a speech the gay Breitbart investigative reporter Milo Yiannopoulos on Feb. 1 , 2017 , on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley , the academic center of ultra-leftist if not domestic communist ideology typified by former professor Herbert Marcuse and his infamous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ note is that this federal judge is a graduate of Berkeley Law School , also having taught law there for eight years .
The complaint I filed concerned a vicious attack on my client by members of Antifa , who peppered sprayed , bear maced and beat her over the head with a flagpole , all the while having the university and city police stand around twiddling their thumbs watching , obviously on stand-down orders from the university hierarchy and city .
I therefore not only sued the Antifa members , but also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the politics and risks involved in suing Antifa , I was the only lawyer Kiara could find to take the case , particularly after the attack had been caught on video and was publicized all over cable news and other media outlets .
At the outset of the lawsuit , I politely asked Judge Wilken to voluntarily recuse herself based on her connections to the university , and predictably she refused .
Such is the arrogance of many federal judges , who arrogantly believe that they are unaccountable to We the People , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life tenure and immunity from liability .
The case then proceeded along for almost a year , with Wilkens predictably dismissing her alma mater and the city from the case .
In response , I then sued officials of the university in their personal capacities , such as President Janet Napolitano and Chancellor Nicolas Dirks – the latter having called Milo a troll and a provocateur – for violation of Kiara 's First and 14th Amendment rights .
The federal judge then proceeded to dismiss them as well as a `` crowning achievement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She then without cause removed my pro hac vice status to legally represent Kiara .
My brave client was thus left with no one to represent her .
As a result , the causes of action against the Antifa members who attacked her , nearly burned down the university to prevent Milo from speaking and others from attending , as well as looting stores , were also then dismissed by this very biased and prejudiced federal judge .
I urge you to go to the 9th Circuit website and watch the archived oral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ et .
al , which occurred at 9 a.m. June 8 .
It is instructive of the miscarriage of justice that occurred .

Monday I appeared before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit seeking to overturn the dismissal by a Clinton-appointed federal judge, Claudia Wilkens, who presided over a lawsuit I had filed for a courageous, young, conservative, pro-Trump, gay woman, Kiara Robles, who wanted to attend a speech by gay Breitbart investigative reporter Milo Yiannopoulos on Feb. 1, 2017, on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley, the academic center of ultra-leftist if not domestic communist ideology typified by former professor Herbert Marcuse and his infamous disciple Angela Davis. Of more than note is that this federal judge is a graduate of Berkeley Law School, also having taught law there for eight years.
The complaint I filed concerned a vicious attack on my client by members of Antifa, who peppered sprayed, bear maced and beat her over the head with a flagpole, all the while having the university and city police stand around twiddling their thumbs watching, obviously on stand-down orders from the university hierarchy and city. I therefore not only sued the Antifa members, but also university and city authorities.
Because of the politics and risks involved in suing Antifa, I was the only lawyer Kiara could find to take the case, particularly after the attack had been caught on video and was publicized all over cable news and other media outlets.
At the outset of the lawsuit, I politely asked Judge Wilken to voluntarily recuse herself based on her connections to the university, and predictably she refused. Such is the arrogance of many federal judges, who arrogantly believe that they are unaccountable to We the People, as unelected government officials with claims of life tenure and immunity from liability.
The case then proceeded along for almost a year, with Wilkens predictably dismissing her alma mater and the city from the case. In response, I then sued officials of the university in their personal capacities, such as President Janet Napolitano and Chancellor Nicolas Dirks – the latter having called Milo a troll and a provocateur – for violation of Kiara's First and 14th Amendment rights. The federal judge then proceeded to dismiss them as well as a "crowning achievement" of her bias and prejudice. She then without cause removed my pro hac vice status to legally represent Kiara.
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
My brave client was thus left with no one to represent her. As a result, the causes of action against the Antifa members who attacked her, nearly burned down the university to prevent Milo from speaking and others from attending, as well as looting stores, were also then dismissed by this very biased and prejudiced federal judge.
I urge you to go to the 9th Circuit website and watch the archived oral argument in Robles v. City of Berkeley et. al, which occurred at 9 a.m. June 8. It is instructive of the miscarriage of justice that occurred.
I am confident that the judges who sat on 9th Circuit panel that heard the appeal will reverse the dismissals in whole or in part and send the case back to be presided upon by a different judge. As I told the three-judge panel, Wilkens' misconduct was one of the worst I have experienced in my 43 years of legal practice, and I have seen a lot!
With the support of patriots such as yourselves, Freedom Watch and I venture where no one else dares to go – in particular our own so-called Justice Department, run by a blowhard attorney general who just bloviates and does little to nothing to attain justice. I have thus coined a new nickname for Bill Barr, "Punxsutawney Bill," after the Pennsylvania groundhog who runs back and hides in his hole nearly every Feb. 2, one day after the anniversary of Antifa's brutal attack on Kiara.
Nor has our president, who is a master at tweeting, instructed his DOJ to round up the criminals of Antifa and the other domestic terrorists who have, as they first attempted at UC Berkeley, looted, burned and robbed with abandon in the last several days.
Along with my last Tuesday podcast, I am embedding below a photo I took of the most famous street in Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, where these "comrades" robbed and destroyed major retailers for "fun and profit," to further their mission to take down the nation. And, the rest of the nation experienced similar crimes!
Yes, fellow patriots, the republic is being torn asunder to further much more than a leftist agenda. Using as a phony pretext, the unfortunate death of a five-time convicted felon, including one conviction for armed robbery, George Floyd, the likes of Antifa are being allowed to run roughshod over the rights not just of Kiara Robles, but all Americans who believe in the rule of law and law and order generally.
Our law enforcement, laying down its arms for fear of being called racists by the media over Floyd's death, sits by and allows "Rome" to burn at the hands of modern-day barbarians.

wnd--2020-06-09--The woke chaos and confusion is intentional – and debilitating

With the death of George Floyd – a heinous atrocity virtually every American decries – unity should have prevailed .
Americans hate police brutality ; Americans care about black lives ; Americans despise looting and rioting ; Americans want to protect citizens but preserve the ability of the police to stop crime .
Instead , the country seems to be falling apart .
That 's because of the utterly chaotic political and media response to the Floyd tragedy : a response that demands agreement but , most of all , requires compliance .
You must kneel .
You must kneel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ simply can not .
If you have to ask for a definition of systemic privilege , we are told , it 's because your white privilege has blinded you to reality .
If you point out that not all inequality is inequity , we are told , it is because your latent racism is leeching into your worldview .
If you defend America 's history , philosophy and culture – or , God forbid , her flag – you must apologize .
And , if Drew Brees is any indicator , your wife @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cousin once removed .
You may not understand what is being demanded of you .
You may see the wave of conflicting messages emanating from the press and wonder just what you 're supposed to do .
But the chaos is the point .
You are supposed to be confused .
Confusion is a political weapon .
Clarity is a shield .
If our media and political class can prevent clarity , they can prevent unity ; if they can obscure , they can demand acquiescence .
Thus , we hear messages that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ another .
And , we are told , our inability to square those messages means that we must listen to the woke priesthood that can untangle these Gordian knots .
Thus , we hear that silence is violence , that being non-racist simply is n't enough , and you must actively fight racism .
But we also hear that speech is violence , that if you oppose policies the political left supports , your words are a form of violence and you must be silenced .

And if you refuse , you must be considered racist .
