The Coming Loss of Freedom

If Trump fails to win 2020, the federal government will begin an anti-Christian agenda by "packing" the Supreme Court until it has a liberal majority willing to subvert the Constitutional freedom of religion.

For example, a future Supreme Court packed with anti-Christian justices by a future, Democratic President and Senate could eventually outlaw even speaking against abortion or homosexuality, calling it "hate speech", thereby negating the First Amendment. One way that this could be done would be by employing the principle of the past Supreme Court ruling in Employment Division v. Smith, which even Scalia mistakenly supported, which says that a law can in effect forbid a specific religious activity so long as the law does not specifically target religion, but is a neutral law of general applicability. That is, a future, anti-Christian Supreme Court ruling could claim that it is not targeting Biblical Christianity per se, but is generally forbidding "hate speech" by anyone, regardless of their religion, or lack thereof.

Also, the future forbidding of Biblical Christians from making any speech against homosexuality or abortion could be perpetrated by a future Supreme Court by claiming that any such speech presents a "clear and present danger" (Schenck v. U.S.) to homosexuals and abortion clinics, as such speech could lead to violent attacks against them, such as the mass shooting at the Pulse gay-nightclub in Orlando, or when a man not long ago attacked an abortion clinic in Colorado claiming to be "a warrior for the babies". Of course, from a pacifist's point of view, nothing about Romans 1:26-27, for example, contradicts Matthew 5:39. So simply saying that homosexuality is a sin in no way supports violence. But the connection could still be made by a future, anti-Christian Supreme Court as a means to squelch Biblical Christians' Constitutional rights to free speech and religion (thereby contradicting the Supreme Court's own "content" precedent in, for example, Reed v. Town of Gilbert).

Could then the war-makers among the U.S. populace (that is, as opposed to its pacifists) call for a "New American Revolution", this time a violent overthrowing of the federal government, especially a future, anti-Christian Supreme Court, in order to restore the Constitutional freedoms of religion, and speech; and also privacy, for that matter?

Or, the war-makers could just be more patient, and wait a little bit longer (peacefully) for Jesus Christ to return from heaven and rule the world (Revelation 19:7 to 20:6).

For any violent rebellion against the U.S. government will simply be quashed. Compare the pathetic (and sad, i.e. Finicum) end of the Burns, Oregon standoff. For Obama's firing of hundreds of generals, and then the JADE HELM exercises, could all have been precisely to prepare for the day when the U.S.'s own federal military forces will be ordered to wipe out all armed militias throughout the United States. 1878's "posse comitatus" law is still on the books, and it bans any use of the federal military to enforce federal laws. But, ironically, while this law was passed by Democrats (to protect Southern planters), it will be Democrats (whether in Congress or the Supreme Court) who will repeal it in the future, to allow the federal military to enforce "political correctness" nationwide regarding gun ownership (thereby negating yet another Amendment, the Second). For all militias could be labeled "an imminent threat to national security", that is, an imminent threat to a future, anti-Christian federal government, which will want to help to prepare the way for the future Antichrist's (the individual-man aspect of Revelation's beast's) world takeover (Revelation 13:7-18).

But before the future Antichrist (who will not be from the U.S.) takes over the world and makes any armed rebellion against him impossible (Revelation 13:4b,7), and even before the U.S. government has wiped out all armed militias in the U.S., could such militias unite across the country, and all rise up together at the same time, declaring their all-out rebellion against a future federal government, because of its tyranny? And could they try to justify their rebellion in a document, which could have points laid out in a structure and wording similar to the Declaration of Independence, which they could call the:

"New Declaration of Independence

"When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for the People of a great nation to dissolve the political bands which have being placed upon them by a federal power, and to restore the freedoms which the Laws of Nature and Nature's God have entitled the People, it is reasonable to expect the People to declare the specific causes which have impelled them to violent rebellion.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

"That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Freedom and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown that mankind is more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such a Government, and to provide new guards for their Freedom and Happiness.

"Such has been the patient suffering of the People of these United States, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to overthrow their present federal government. The recent history of this government is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over the People of these United States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world:

"The government has refused its assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. For the government has trampled upon even the highest laws of these United States, embodied in our Constitution. For the Fourth Amendment declares the right of the People to be free from all unreasonable searches, and no warrants shall be issued except upon probable cause. Yet the government now, with the help of computers and compliant corporations, continually spies upon all of the People, and without any probable cause. For it tracks everywhere that the People go, through their cell phones, via 'StingRay' devices and compliant cell phone corporations, and through license-plate reading cameras at major intersections and on patrolling police cruisers. And the government tracks every letter, magazine, catalog, or package that the People send or receive through the U.S. Mail, Federal Express, UPS, DHL, or any other courier, through the compliance of these companies. And the government tracks everything that the People buy with a credit or debit card, through compliant bank, credit card, and retail companies.

"And the government tracks everything that the People watch on cable TV or the internet, through compliant cable, telecom, ISP, and internet companies and forums. And it tracks everything that the People post on the internet. And it tracks every website and web page that they view. And it tracks every phone call, text message, and email that they send or receive, even recording and saving all of their contents. And it tracks every 'like' that they give to anything on the internet. And it tracks everything that they do in public places, by employing facial recognition and 'security' cameras in almost every store and restaurant, and while they are walking along public streets. And it has scores of bigger-than-Hubble spy satellites which can zoom in on anyone outside anywhere at anytime.

"And the government also listens in on everything that the People say even in their homes, cars, or anywhere else, by remotely and secretly tapping into the microphones on their cell phones, landline phones, computers, televisions, smart speakers, children's web-connected toys, home-security devices, automobile-navigation devices; and through 'gunshot detecting' microphones (ShotSpotters) placed ubiquitously on public streets, which can pick up conversations of people on sidewalks or sitting on their front stoops. By all of these means, the Fourth Amendment right to Privacy for the People has been completely obliterated by the government. (The government thinks that it is protecting 'national security' by these means, but what it has actually done is set everything up for the future Antichrist's total surveillance and subjugation of everyone: Revelation 13:4-18.)

"Also, the government has taken advantage of compliant intelligence and oversight committees in Congress, and a horrible FISA bill which created a secret, rubber-stamp, FISA court, a veritable Star Chamber, without any effective oversight by the People, to take away the People's Fourth Amendment rights under the guise of 'judicial warrants'. The FISA bill also allows for unlimited, unwarranted, 'backdoor' snooping on U.S. citizens through its Section 702 loophole. So the U.S. government (like the Stasi before it) has created and maintains extensive dossiers on 100,000 of its citizens who are completely innocent legally. (The Founders are turning in their graves.) Also, you can be put on a terrorist watch list just for having body odor and long hair. This is the point that we have reached. For the Deep State, also called the Security State, is given so many billions of dollars every year that it must find a way to 'spend its money', or it will get less money next year. And so it goes after people (even with invasive, in-person surveillance) for almost any reason that it can think of.

"Also, its dossiers leave so many people open to blackmail, or to the public leaking of information regarding their private matters, by unscrupulous people in the government (even very high up), and by unscrupulous people in government contractors who are given access to these dossiers, and by foreign intelligence agents and their contractors who hack into these dossiers, just as they were able to hack into even the personnel files of all of the U.S. government's own agents with top secret clearances, and just as foreign hackers have been able to penetrate the servers of U.S. corporations with top secret military contracts.

"Also, the government has 'doxxed' innocent U.S. citizens by secretly handing over their names, addresses, and daily and weekly schedules to so-called 'friendly' foreign intelligence agencies who see these citizens as potential threats to their national security. In this way, the government has exposed these U.S. citizens to surveillance and possibly even murder by foreign intelligence agencies operating with the knowledge and consent of the government on U.S. soil. The government allows such a setup as this so that it can maintain a good relationship with these foreign intelligence agencies, so that they will continue to share their valuable human intelligence with the U.S., which is very weak in humint; and also so that the U.S. can, in turn, surveil, and even murder, citizens of foreign 'friendly' nations in their own countries if it deems these foreigners to be dangerously hostile to U.S. national security.

"Also, the government has trampled on the First Amendment, which declares that the government shall institute no law which prohibits the free exercise of religion. For the Christian religion requires that its followers not support any sinful activities (Ephesians 5:11), yet the government has nonetheless created and enforced laws, through the Supreme Court, with no assent from the People in Congress, requiring Christians to support the sins of abortion and same-sex marriage. For example, a Christian pharmacy has to sell the morning-after abortion pill, and a Christian calligrapher has to write invitations for a homosexual wedding.

"Also, the government [will] have trampled on the First Amendment's declaration that the government shall institute no law which abridges the freedom of speech. For the government [will] have created and enforced laws, through the Supreme Court, with no assent from the People in Congress, forbidding any speech which says that homosexuality or abortion is sinful, calling it 'hate speech', even though the Bible shows that homosexuality is sinful (Romans 1:26-27), and that unborn children have consciousness (Luke 1:44).

"Also, the government [will] have trampled on the Second Amendment, which declares that the government shall institute no law which infringes on the right of the People to keep and bear arms. For the government [will] have created and enforced laws, through the Supreme Court, with no assent from the People in Congress, forbidding any civilian to own or use any firearm at any time.

"In every stage of these Oppressions, we the People have petitioned for redress. Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A government which is thus marked by every act which may define Tyranny is unfit to rule a free People.

"We, therefore, the People of these United States of America, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World, the Almighty God, for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by the Authority of God, and of the People, solemnly publish and declare the Freedom of the People, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the current federal government. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our Sacred Honor."


At some point in our future, could millions of "patriots" in armed militias across the U.S. add their John Hancocks to such a document as this, not realizing that by doing so they will only be making themselves liable to being arrested, tortured, and executed by the federal government?

Better to be arrested, tortured, and executed not for being violent, or for promoting violence, but rather for being a pacifist, and for promoting the peace, love, and faith of Jesus Christ and His Biblical Gospel (Matthew 24:9, Mark 8:34-38).

Maranatha, Come, Lord Jesus Christ, and rule upon this earth (Revelation 19:7 to 20:6, Revelation 22:17a,20).

(1 Peter 1:24-25; 1 John 2:17)
