Biblical Morals: Constitution and Treason

Posted on September 30, 2018 by ehurst

This is a response to an off-line query.

In order to understand questions of what is or is not treasonous, you have to take the whole context of the US Constitution. It’s a very well written attempt to promote a vision of civic life that is frankly a shitty design, because it simply cannot work, but it is what we have as the law of our land. You have to read it in the context of the folks who wrote it and all the things they stated in other correspondence of the day, along with an awareness of how they used English in those days. Quite a few common expressions have changed, and some have taken on entirely different connotations from their day. If you ignore that, you cannot claim to understand the US Constitution.

Taking all of that into account, every globalist is treasonous. Their intent is to destroy the US government and merge it into a global government. Most lefties are globalist, too, so they are traitors. Literally, they are supporting the cause of enemies of the US Constitution. They are seeking to destroy the vision of our founding fathers. Everyone promoting anything that smells like “social justice” is a traitor for the same reason.

But we could say the same about every Zionist, everyone who promotes the modern State of Israel, because that inherently means subjecting the US government to Zionist control. There is no way to ally with Israel on any other terms, because that’s what Israel seeks to do all over the world. Their own documents state that they intend to enslave all mankind to their deeply twisted and perverted image ripped from the Old Testament. Jesus said they didn’t understand the Scriptures and that hasn’t changed. Modern Judaism is Pharisaism, and Zionism is a semi-religious political ideology that lacks even the thin veneer of Bible words used in Judaism.

Every major corporation that seeks to exert influence on the government is a traitor. That is, when they use their money and influence to gain an advantage over us little people, they have perverted the course of justice. In particular, the military-industrial complex is one big fat army of traitors. The US Constitution specifically seeks to curtail such power and influence, and all the supporting documentation rails against it. There is no excuse for it.

There is a margin of error, but given the intent of the framers, anyone who openly resists the will of the President stands in jeopardy of being charged with treason. That’s not to say you can’t complain and talk bad about him, but if you step outside certain established rules for expressing your contrary agenda, you have committed treason. You should be hauled before a military tribunal and considered for execution. That’s the law of our land.

So if you are born under our US Constitution and stay here in the US, or become a citizen under the Constitution, you have a moral obligation to at least stay the hell out of the way of the President. That is, unless you are willing to declare yourself in revolt and proceed with all the Law of Land Warfare, which is itself pretty sloppy and imprecise. Don’t expect God to protect you unless you are entirely certain He has called you to such a thing. Even then, His calling may include a harsh end for His glory.

Let me prophetically warn you further that Trump is God’s appointed scourge, the man who will eventually destroy the US for her sins. That’s not his intent, but that’s how God will use Him. Be warned that you must not resist Trump’s agenda; God will destroy him with his agenda later. It’s not our concern. Our job is to work around him.

I will never countenance anyone complaining about some moral high ground and violating what I’ve described here. If you act a fool, expect your folly to fall on you. This is how the entire universe is designed. And in due time the US will be broken up, because the whole idea was untenable in the first place. But until God acts to destroy the system, you are morally obliged to default in favor of a general obedience to a fairly conservative stance on policy and law. Nobody says you have to hold conservative middle-class materialistic values, but do understand that this is essentially the nature of the US Constitution.

As I’ve said in the past: Among the current political theories most people understand, nationalism is as close to Biblical Law as you can get. Without a specific calling to do otherwise, you are obliged to cling to a nationalist outlook even after the US is destroyed.

Q sends out a warning: The major social media services are planning to censor Trump and his supporters en masse sometime before the November mid-term elections. After recent events, I don’t find that hard to believe.

If you want to stay in touch with conservative leaning chatter, you’ll need to have a back-up plan for communications of that sort. Replace Twitter with Gab; replace Reddit with Voat (Q commissioned a special board for Trump stuff); there are several replacements for Facebook. There’s not much anyone can do about Google unless you are willing to dig into Yandex and it’s privacy oriented search engine, DuckDuckGo (which I use). Yandex is honestly trying to compete with Google in terms of services, but the company is based in Russia.

The problem with using Facebook is that it’s designed to suck you into a swamp where you can’t escape because everyone you know is there. For many people, it is their whole social life. This is one of those things where you’ll simply have to make your case and convince folks to move with you. There will always be some friction losses no matter which way you go. In my opinion, the most valid competition to Facebook is VKontacte, another Russian product.

I want you to be aware that there are several large left-wing organizations, most of them funded by globalists, standing ready to protest once Kavanaugh is confirmed to the Supreme Court. These and several more are prepared to protest and riot for other perceived threats, particularly for the elections in November.

By itself, this does hold some potential for provoking enough chaos to trigger localized martial law. However, should there be a matching response from the currently quiescent militant patriots, that would guarantee martial law. These militia types are still out there, still quietly standing by to respond with violent force to the increasingly violent leftist groups like Antifa. Their forums draw far less public attention, but I can tell you the rumbling is enough for me to expect some kind of response. Nobody can predict how big or widespread that response will be, not even the militia folk themselves. They are individualists, after all. Most of them aren’t really conscious of what would trigger them, but almost all of them have a trigger, and their shared passions can rise and ebb same as for anyone else.

What I want to suggest to you is that a lot of government figures have also hinted an expectation of serious disorder and the need for martial law in connection to those coming elections. It’s not in what they say, but what they avoid saying. Meanwhile, some law enforcement folks have signaled a similar expectation. Some government agencies are actively training for it right now.

I honestly believe this is all part of God’s plans for us.

Teachings of Jesus — Matthew 23:16-22

Posted on September 29, 2018 by ehurst

The Scribes and Pharisees didn’t actually instigate rebellion against Roman rule, not least because Rome permitted them to oppress their own people. One of the best kept secrets is that when Jewish rabbis talk about “freedom of religion,” it’s a code word. It is primarily a reference to their freedom to hold their own Jewish peasants in thrall. Rabbinical Judaism has always been just about the worst tyranny any human has known. A critical element in promoting the Jewish exclusiveness has always been to keep them trapped under a very harsh rabbinical thumb. The peasants have no where else to go.

One of the ways the legalistic Scribes and Pharisees kept their advantage was circulating secret rules among themselves, but not teaching the nobodies how to navigate the system. One of those secret rules was a collection of oaths that were considered legally binding. With His rabbinical training, Jesus was aware of their scams. To a regular Jew, the rabbi might solemnly swear to do something using an oath small courts considered invalid. To each other, they would play silly games and try to catch each other off-guard by having a very long list of such oaths.

Even the Romans caught onto this game and began requiring Jews to swear an oath in the name of Jehovah. They continued to resist this through all kind of hectoring complaints to Roman officials, making it a big sore point, piously resisting taking Jehovah’s name in vain. Yet this was exactly what Jesus indirectly accused them of doing.

In translating Jesus’ condemnation of this practice, Matthew chooses a Greek word to indicate a smokescreen. They were supposed to be teaching and guiding the people, but made it a point to keep them in the dark about certain issues. What the Pharisees didn’t understand was that they were the ones who were blinded. He hinted that making an oath on the Temple non-binding, but an oath on the gold of the Temple binding, simply showed their rapacious greed in the first place. The Temple was nothing, but the gold was everything in their eyes. They were more worried about the food on the altar and what it cost when it could have filled their bellies than they were about the image of honoring God as a guest at their table.

Worse, they had to audacity to proclaim that their power and wealth was a sign of God’s favor. Yet they utterly failed to recognize God’s own Son when He came to walk among them.

Just a short reminder: Reception of the truth into the mind from the heart uses the same part of the brain where the imagination is found. We could say it’s all in the wiring. Your heart addresses the mind in the same nodes as fantasy imagery, though it uses all senses. If your mind is primed and ready, then the heart can easily point out the visions of angels, demons, the songs of Creation, and you will feel the sorrow of human activities that violate God’s moral character.

Every miracle of God, including divine revelation, comes with plausible deniability. While there is a difference between an image from the heart and your own fleshly wishes and fantasies, the difference is subtle. You are the only one who can learn it for yourself, but I can tell you the truth comes packaged with conviction. Convictions register in another part of the mind: the conscience. A message from God in the heart tends to come with both extravagant sensory imagery plus a sense of conviction.

The other thing is simply getting used to paying attention to those things. Your conscience will come pre-loaded with a lot of moral nonsense, but you still have to obey it as best you can. Taking its message seriously is how you train it to be more perceptive. As your mind is cleared of false moral understandings, your conscience becomes more accurate and more trustworthy. But you cannot make it work right until you start obeying it in the first place.

Walk in the light you have.

Here’s something the mainstream church has gotten wrong over the centuries: We should never seek to cultivate the approval of outsiders. Granted, I can easily find a lot of church folks echoing that sentiment, but when pastors stop posting resumes, I’ll believe it. The whole idea behind a resume is materialistic worldly thinking. As long as churches assume that spiritual leadership is a professional career, they will never rise to the heritage of the saints. God save us from professional ministry.

Let’s say it again: Even when it comes to evangelism, we should make no pretense of courting favor from those who don’t walk the heart-led life of conviction. We should not give a damn for what those people consider good and right. They do not know Christ and they cannot pretend to understand Christian virtue. This is not spite; this is reality. We pity them for their blindness, but we don’t always express pity. The tone for any conversation with the unfaithful about faith always depends on the context and your personal sense of calling and mission.

The single most important thing you can do for anyone is the thing you should do for the sake of God’s glory and what is consistent with His moral character in Creation. You should always respond according to your divine moral sensibilities. That is always in everyone’s best interest. If you ever stop to think about what kind of response it will provoke, you won’t end up doing what’s right.

I’m not saying don’t be aware of likely responses. Be aware, but never calculate your core decision based on it. Always respond to the cosmic life force burning in your heart, and prepare to face what comes from that choice.

So there is on one level a sense of “we don’t give a shit how you feel.” That’s not the whole explanation of how we interact with others, but it’s in there. On another level, we cannot afford to hide our divine sense of compassion, of sacrificial love. But it’s love based on the presumption of their moral blindness, so it’s love that chooses what’s right for them despite their wishes. It’s not arrogance, but often enough they will think it so. It’s humility before the Lord of glory who made all things. We are willing to sacrifice this life because it is just one massive lie in the first place. We are pouring out His love on these poor lost souls, and if they don’t like it, we will absorb the thrusts of their blind rage and rejection.

And many of us still carry within ourselves a residual instinct to cling to those ways of the Fallen. So it takes some effort to unlearn those things. It’s contrary to the Spirit, and we need to invest some contemplative prayer time in beating back the old ways, nailing our fleshly nature to the Cross afresh every day, every hour. The flesh is hardly eager to accept such discipline. Don’t be surprised by your own internal revulsion rising against this glorious holy way of denying the flesh.

So decide today that you belong to God and His Creation, that you will take the time to hear the celebration of joy from the supposedly “inert” material world around you. I’m not sure I can teach you via these writings to go out and commune with trees, grass, birds and stones, but I can assert that it can and should happen. I can teach you about your heart as a sensory organ with a wide field of perception that registers on the mind only with great difficulty. Not because the mind doesn’t know how, but the mind has been taught not to do that. I can write to you about these things, but it’s between you and God to bring it to life in your soul.

And I can also write to tell you that the fallen world around you will call it, at best, a wild imagination of things that don’t exist. By the same token, I will warn you that you must awaken that wild imagination, because otherwise there’s no place to hang all this truth of God. So open your mind to what’s unseen and difficult to put into words. Don’t fear the labels that typically apply to mysticism and people who rejoice with Creation in the love of God.

Random Photos 05

Posted on September 27, 2018 by ehurst

I’ve been trying to ride a little harder this past week, so I’ve taken fewer photos. These three are the best of a bunch that just wasn’t that good. Our first image is the North Canadian River at Midwest Boulevard with a little water flowing, looking upstream.

Same river, same bridge, looking in the other direction (downstream) in the early morning light. Try to imagine the near absence of traffic and the birds singing to greet the dawn. The sunrise was delayed by very heavy cloud cover in the east, so the picture comes out just a tad dramatic.

This is a ranch that we’ve seen before, but there has been some landscaping for things like a bigger and deeper stock pond. The fields are very green this time of year. In the foreground is a field that had been alfalfa during the summer and has remained too wet since mowing, so nothing else has been planted yet. The regrowth of hay won’t get very far unless it stays unseasonably warm with no freezing for a couple of months.

The only other good shot was the one I used for the header of the blog.

Just a Silly Story 08

Posted on September 26, 2018 by ehurst

Someone on 4chan claims to have baited Stormy Daniels’ attorney, Michael Avenatti. A woman convinced him she had serious evidence that she had committed a sex act with three men at once, and one of them was Kavanaugh. Avenatti promised something a little less than $100k just to get her on retainer and prep her story for publication. He then publicly proclaimed he had a third accuser. The team pulling this con were using burner phones, and destroyed them at this point. In response, Avenatti took his social media accounts private.

Someone claims to have a copy of Rosenstein’s resignation letter, but now another source insists he’s not leaving until after the mid-term elections. Personally, I’m utterly convinced he’s hiding something so big no one is going to believe it. Whatever it is, it has the potential to destroy the Democrats’ election chances. Somehow, I don’t think he’ll be able to stay in office as long as he’d like.

Mike Adams, the “Health Ranger” who sells very unhealthy crap on his website, says Trump is planning to conduct mass arrests any day now, and will drag some folks before military tribunals. But that is exactly what Q promised more than a year ago, and predicted it would start sometime next month. This is Adams pretending to have some real scoop, some kind of inside knowledge that is actually shared among thousands of Q fans. The calendar was post last year.

Meanwhile, Q promises that everyone who signed off on any part of the bogus FISA warrant to snoop on Carter Page (and by extension Trump and the whole Whitehouse staff) is currently under Grand Jury investigation. That would make the FISA warrant part of the evidence for such an investigation, so the Grand Jury would be permitted to keep any part of the warrant they like secret for now. That’s part of why the matter was handed over to the DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz. However, it’s all that other stuff Trump ordered declassified that should provide lots of fireworks.

That would include all the background documents for the FISA warrant, all the unredacted text messages between Strzock and Page along with other folks, and everything the FBI has on Bruce Ohr. Keep in mind also that Loretta Lynch, Obama’s DOJ head, has apparently been cooperating with investigators; she’s singing loud and clear about everything they ask.

Q said this is the week of “the sky is falling!” Frankly, the Kavanaugh noise is covering up a lot of really critical stuff. If even half of this stuff is real, we are likely to see a stiff response from the “Crowd for Hire” bunch with rioting in some big cities — and the rioting would be the least of our worries. What would happen if the Democratic Party should go into meltdown? What would that do to politics in your local area? It’s that close.

The Cult of SJWs 03

Posted on September 25, 2018 by ehurst

Clearly the issue is focusing on the glory of God, not some concrete plan for small scale politics.

The means to protecting a church is built into Biblical Law. It’s the nature of how a church is supposed to operate that makes it largely impossible to hijack. The elder is in charge; end of story. Go join yourself to a different faith family if you find the elder unbearable. Trust your convictions in such decisions.

In contexts where we do not rule by faith, our goal of infiltration for the sake of His glory changes our tactics. Now, the tactics might vary widely with different situations for different kinds of folks walking by faith, but we know whom the SJWs will target most: white straight males. We know this because they openly declare as much. And if that white straight male is a member of Radix Fidem, the value system alone makes him all the more a target.

However, much of what we might say about this can be useful to anyone who embraces our brand of faith. It’s part of the larger issue of our witness to a fallen world blinded by reason.

Do you understand how you can be both regal and humble? Regal because you are a child of the Most High God, called and made for a great shining light of truth. You should have the high confidence that comes from knowing how Biblical Law puts you in close communion with Creation, with reality itself. Your life is more consistent with reality than anyone who isn’t heart-led. At the same time, nothing puts us into a position of lording it over anyone of those poor unfortunate souls. You are a royal heir, but you are not in your personal domain.

It’s between you and God how you express that in your personality. We play along with all the petty concerns of people who have no awareness of Eternity as their true Home. Meanwhile, we look for ways to make our Father look good.

In the midst of this, there is one thing you can do that makes you less of a target: Cling to that eternal outlook as a cultural marker. In casual conversation, claim yourself to be from a very different cultural background, not at all a mainstream American.

If you have the panache for it, don’t hesitate to make it just a little kooky. Nobody is going to take us seriously about holding a conversation with nature and all the other stuff that goes with being heart-led. However, I’ve seen SJWs following their internal scripting and pretending to take it seriously. It moves you out of their target zone. All the more so if you can claim any peculiar racial heritage that isn’t Caucasian. So, for example, because some of my ancestors were Native American, I claim that in some contexts where it seems to serve a purpose. I can emphasize the way the Indians were heart-led and talk about a reverence for nature.

In so doing, you are giving SJWs as much truth as they can handle. Don’t throw pearls before swine. We don’t aim to confront and destroy on those terms, but to keep the emphasis where it belongs — the revelation of God.

The Cult of SJWs 02

Posted on September 24, 2018 by ehurst

I’m taking the liberty of linking this article again because I want you to at least scan the outline of how SJWs operate, and maybe see the advice on how to survive the attack. This is how some would handle SJWs in settings where you are not in control of how things were structured; you are merely a participant.

I have faced this. It took place while I was working a temporary job; a woman (another temporary worker) flirted with me and I politely blew her off. She went to management and lied that I had sexually harassed her. I wasn’t aware of it at the time. I was simply trying my best to do the job. However, I had one advantage: I was doing the job well enough that management wanted to hire me permanently, while she was already tagged as somewhat of a troublemaker.

There was a point where she was assigned to work at the same machine as I, while I was still unaware that she had made false claims against me. In my typical clowning persona, I managed to say something she could blow out of proportion. I suggested they were making me do something difficult with the machine because I was physically large enough to handle it, and smaller guys had failed consistently. She ran to the supervisor and reported that I had just claimed to have the largest male sex organs in the place.

She was fired. A short time later, one of the permanent guys told me about her earlier complaints. My retort was, “Maybe she’s angry because I didn’t come on to her. I thought she was repulsive.” Then one of the floor managers nearby mentioned the lie that got her fired. Clowning as before, I reacted with exaggerated shock, and joked about having the smallest penis in the whole place. They all laughed and I went back to work.

While I can tell you that God covered me, that was some 25 years ago; I’m not sure it would work out like that now. Also, I wasn’t nearly so savvy about such things then as I am these days. I’ve been through several different kinds of institutional attacks precisely for being faithful to Christ. The advice offered at the link above is quite secular in approach. It will work every time, but it will also likely compromise your witness. Sometimes sticking around is not what God has in mind. If He chooses not to protect you as He did me in little story above, be ready to seize the opportunity to move at His command.

That’s where I am now. I was run out of church, though not by SJWs. In the early years on this blog, I was, however, beset with several attacks that used SJW tactics. Keep in mind that there are other kinds of attack, such as the Delphi Method, for example. The Delphi Method is a form of coordinated group takeover, and requires a different response. Defeating SJWs on this blog is actually pretty simple, and it’s the same way any of you can prevent trouble when you are trying to build any ministry to which God has called you. The core principle is making it impossible for the SJWs to get any traction.

Here it is again: feudal covenant nation. First and foremost is the resolve to never ever pretend to be fair and unbiased. You need to understand that it is a moral truth that we are all in the same desperate need of redemption, but the way the Father proceeds with that redemption is unique to each individual. We are each given a unique calling and gifts that fit us for the mission. You must discover who He made you to be, and take command of the domain He places in your hands. Your position within that domain is feudal master; this is what God expects of us. This is how we are wired and it’s how all Creation is wired.

You must guard what He has committed to you in that domain. He will show you how that works for you, but in general, it means you will always act with a certain personal bias. It is necessary, just and holy that you do so. People who voluntarily place themselves in your domain granted from God are accepting your biases; they accept that they must seek your favor. The details are completely up to you, but if you lack moral discernment, it will tend to blow up in your face until you get it right. Whatever happens, your duty to God is to protect the mission. That means excluding anyone you believe doesn’t fit.

I’ve done that just a few times on this blog. Disruption is not acceptable, and efforts by folks to reshape me into their image of perfection are particularly galling. I tend to tolerate some guff, and I don’t draw lines that are clearly visible. There’s nothing morally wrong with making a decision when the Spirit moves; it is typically inexplicable to the fools who come here thinking reason is the grounds on which I should operate. I work from my convictions and I will not treat any two people the same, because God doesn’t.

This is how our Lord designed churches to work. This is how you make it impossible for SJWs to even want to get involved in the first place. They will quickly stand out as trouble the moment they betray their idolatry.

Don’t Panic Yet, Linux Users

Posted on September 23, 2018 by ehurst

Someone asked me what my plans were regarding my use of Linux, given two posts pointing out problems with it. Don’t panic … yet.

If you have joined me in running some branch of Ubuntu 18.04, or a derivative like Mint, we are likely safe for a couple of years. I have no doubt that Canonical (the owner of the Ubuntu brand) views this from a corporate angle, and is also rejoicing that Linus Torvalds is out of the way. The Ubuntu user community is unlikely to exit in hordes. We have plenty of time to wait and see how things shake out.

Meanwhile, if you just can’t stand it, there are alternatives still out there that will likely help keep you sane. One very nice option is Project Trident, a derivative of FreeBSD. It’s still in beta, so you might want to wait a few months. A slightly more mature project is GhostBSD. If you download the ISO and burn it to a disk, you can run it live without installing, allowing you to test how well it works with your hardware.

If you are willing to wait awhile, you can bet I’ll pick one or more OSes to test and write guides for in the future. But right now, there’s no reason to panic. We have time to continue on with the Lord’s work using what we have now.
