The Weapon of Our Enemies

This message is going to be a long one. But it’s critical that you read through to the end to understand the depth of the danger facing our civilization. If these words speak to you and if in your heart of hearts, you agree, then be sure to share this article with friends, family and in social media. Do your part to awaken the spirit of true patriotism in America.

Your donations are not only coming in but increasing in size and frequency. Your generous investment in the party moves us one step closer to our goal of returning the Constitution and our traditional way of life back to their places of primacy. More and more patriotic Americans are waking up and placing their bets on Liberty, Integrity, and Prosperity. Join the true patriots of our land and continue your support for us in our fight against tyranny. Now onto today’s thoughts.

 

Words used as weapons of destruction.

Patriots like us are called extremists by people with nefarious intentions at heart. The British called the patriots that founded our nation extremists.  Today, Cultural Marxists of the radical Left and duplicitous, globalist Republicans, who have separate motives, yet mutual interests in mass-migrations, use that term to describe us. They understand the power of words, and they know how to wield these weapons of mass disinformation against us.

Not only are American patriots raising their eyes to behold the catastrophe that is happening before us with regards to censorship of centrist and conservative speech online, even the Federal government is also taking notice and beginning to address it. Could this have been possible without millions of conservative voices calling out in unison?  It took conservatives and centrists alike to join their voices together and shout out our displeasure to gain attention.

Conservatives are, by their nature, peace-loving, individualistic people. Conservatives generally abide by the ancient wisdom “live and let live.” A noble and preferable way to view the world. It captures the very heart of liberty to go about one’s own life and not disturb the lives of others. But it is a double-edged sword and one that we are letting cut us. By being so hesitant to speak up against obvious evils, we have allowed the infection caused by the frequent nicks and cuts to fester, threatening the very life of our great republic.

The reason for this is apparent. Conservatives know just as well as Democrats and their progressive allies that words have immense power. The difference is that conservatives are hesitant to utilize this power. We understand the tremendous harm done to individuals and groups with a well-placed word. Donald Trump demonstrated this when he called out “the squad” of radical progressives on Twitter for their blatant hate of the United States. The Leftists know this too, and they count on it. Even more, they have succeeded in making us too scared to use our words against them. They have so thoroughly cowed us with the threat of being called “racist, bigots, Nazis”  that we remain silent when we know such words are untrue. When you control the ability of people to speak, you eventually control their ability to think. When people can no longer express their thoughts, ideas disappear from public consciousness. They cease to exist. Our enemies are doing  it to us. They are erasing our traditional way of life by erasing our ability to talk about it freely.

 

“Hey buddy, it looks like you’ve had a little too much to think there. You’re coming with me.”

Our enemies!  It’s a pretty incendiary term, is it not? Try speaking it aloud. Seriously, say it! Many of you will find it difficult. Most will not even try. Many will brush off the suggestion with an internal, self-reassuring laugh. Some of you will say it, but silently, in your mind. A small percentage of those people will silently mouth the words, and an even tinier fraction of you will speak it aloud. But I challenge you to do it. Our enemies!

The reason why it will be difficult is because most know to whom I am referring when I say, “Our enemies”! You automatically understand that I am not talking about some ISIS animals holed up in a cave somewhere in the Middle East. You will know that I am not referring to the Communist Chinese with their endless schemes to undermine Western civilization.  Most will not assume either of those. You will know that I am referring to the radical leftists that have infected our society and their globalist, Republican allies. And herein lies the threat! They are using our language against us to rapidly close the fist of tyranny around our collective throats.

How do we know this? How do we know they are our enemies? The answer is simple. Look at the way the radical leftists in the news media have covered recent events, and you will have your answer. The Mexican flag being raised over US government installations by progressive leftists. The radical leftist, (I will not honor by writing his name) who firebombed the illegal alien detention center in Washington state over the weekend. The insane leftists in our Congress and those during presidential debate calling for illegal immigration to be decriminalized, and illegal aliens (AKA invaders) to be given free, universal healthcare. Then we see Democrat presidential candidates are crossing over the border and CAMPAIGNING IN MEXICO. The collusion between these cultural Marxists, globalists, and the news media to spin and cover it all up is not hidden! The Cultural Marxists within the radical Left have thoroughly weaponized our language.

We are all familiar with the adage, “The pen is mightier than the sword”. But why is that? How is it that random noises emitted from our throats by air from our lungs passing over our vocal cords can have so much power? Go to a speaker of some foreign language and utter the word “pizza” to them. It means about as much to a non-English speaker as “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”. But if you were to say those same words to a speaker of English, then the word would have tremendous physiological and psychological effects.

Admit it, when you read the word “pizza”, your mind automatically conjures up smells of delicious melted cheese, tangy marinara sauce, and spicy pepperoni. Or maybe it was Canadian bacon and pineapple. Whatever pizza you prefer is irrelevant. The important part is that it elicited feelings and sensations from you – scents, tastes, memories, meanings, and a whole host of other reactions. I wonder how many of you thought about placing an order for Pizza Hut just now. That monstrously long and difficult to read word in the last paragraph probably made a lot of people feel confused and maybe even frustrated, if they couldn’t read it right away, until they realized that it’s that silly word from Mary Poppins. But that’s the point – the power of words.

Just by hearing these random vocalizations arranged into familiar, repeating patterns, you had a real, physical response. Now imagine if, over a long period, a devious person was to subvert your understanding of the word “pizza”. Imagine that, gradually over many years, they changed the meaning of the word, so the result was that “pizza” doesn’t mean a delicious, fattening treat. Imagine if they succeeded in getting popular culture to agree that “pizza” now means the same thing as, say, “Nazi”. Upon reading that, most of you suddenly understood where this is going…

The radical Left’s most powerful weapon against the free peoples of the world is their masterful understanding of how language works. They understand that by changing the meaning of words, they can effectively stop people from talking about the ideas those words convey. Think about it. One such example is the Leftists’ changing the meaning of the word nationalism. They have convinced people that nationalism is the same as Nazism. They have persuaded people to stop using the phrase, illegal alien and replaced it with the words, undocumented worker. It has a much softer sound, doesn’t it?  It doesn’t get the blood boiling quite as much as illegal alien or invader! Now, we have replaced undocumented worker with migrants or immigrants.  Notice how each word change somehow lessens any threat posed to our nation. They intentionally conflate the meaning of the words to confuse people. Some in the Democrat Party and the news media have even begun using the term, undocumented citizen.

 

So, how did the Left acquire such control over our language?

I am sure that many of you have heard of “the long march through the institutions.” For those of you not familiar with the term, it means the gradual takeover of institutions, such as our education system, by radical progressives. Children are now exposed to leftist ideology from day one and almost entirely unopposed. In places where Democrats have super majorities, conservative teachers are silenced and risk dismissal from their jobs for speaking up.  Even worse, leaking personal information to violent radicals, or being accused of sexual impropriety with their students, has a chilling effect on anyone’s free speech!

The Left is escalating its rhetoric against our nation and our people. The reprehensible creature, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, recently called detention centers on the border “concentration camps”. She caught a lot of heat for this, and rightly so. But think about what she tried to do afterward. She tried to weasel her way out of it by saying that she wasn’t referring to Nazi death camps. But we all know that’s nonsense, as she immediately followed it up with the phrase “never again”. Many of us know that “never again” is a direct reference to never again allowing genocidal fascism to take root in the world.

And there is another word twisted and deformed from its actual meaning to be a weapon that the Left can use to bludgeon the rest of us. They say that EVERYTHING is fascist if it doesn’t agree with their political world view. They justify ever-increasing violence against conservatives with this twisting of words. The radical leftist terrorist that firebombed the illegal alien detention center directly referenced “concentration camps” in his manifesto/suicide letter.

They say that defending the border is a form of “hate” (yet another word whose meaning they’ve co-opted for their villainous reasons). They then say that “hate has no place in our country”. They say that “hate” is a form of “violence”. They even try to scientifically justify this by saying that “hate” causes stress hormones in the body, which is bad for people’s health, and therefore, it’s violence to “hate” someone. All the while, actual “hate” and “violence” are used regularly to destroy the lives and bodies of conservative Americans. People are afraid to speak for fear of being persecuted by leftists through their manipulation of language.

 

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

If people are so afraid of reprisal, how can they speak out against tyranny? Once tyranny has taken full control of language, then free people can no longer speak out. And that’s the danger we face!. The radical Left, their contemptuous adherents, and their globalist allies in the Republican Party have manipulated our language to such an extent, that even talking about mass, illegal immigration is “racist.” Talking about the crime that the invaders commit is “white nationalist.” Talking about how more and more Democratic districts are giving drivers licenses to illegal invaders is “bigoted.” And bringing up that the same Democratic districts are amending laws to say that when you get a driver’s license, you are automatically registered to vote is considered “voter suppression”. They have twisted the meaning of words so much as to have a complete stranglehold on public discourse.

How many times have you watched or seen a news item, read the blatant lie contained within, and said to yourself, “That is complete BS! I know FOR A FACT that is not true!”  Tell a lie often enough, and it becomes the truth. A clever way to reprogram our culture through manipulation of our language.

It’s time to fight back. Take back our language and shout from the rooftops. Let them know that NO, you WILL NOT be reprogrammed. You are NOT a machine for them to reprogram to their liking. Let them know that you ARE a patriotic nationalist, and you WILL defend your civilization.

The pen truly is mightier than the sword, and it’s time that we take this powerful weapon back under our control. It’s time we turn it against the tyrants of the Left and the globalist traitors. It is utterly imperative that we take back our language. If we don’t defend our civilization with our words, then it won’t be long before we are called to protect it with our rifles. Despite its numerous flaws, THE UNITED STATES HAS BEEN THE SINGLE GREATEST DRIVING FORCE FOR FREEDOM AND PROSPERITY IN THE HISTORY OF OUR WORLD.

If you don’t want the day to come when your sons and daughters must defend your city from seizure by armed, radical leftists, then act now! Take back our language and use the words that the Left uses to demonize us against them. And don’t fall victim to the “it can’t happen here” fallacy. It can happen – it will happen.  We have much at stake. Never forget: The only thing that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

The violence is already increasing. It’s spilling out into our streets. Leftist publications are openly calling for progressive Democrats to “arm themselves in defense of marginalized communities” (that’s an actual quote). The only tool you have to stop this from happening is your right to the freedom of expression. The best way to express yourself politically is by supporting political players that will honor their oath to defend and uphold the Constitution. At this juncture in our history, there is only one such party. The Constitution Party calls all patriotic Americans to abandon both the Democrats and the Republicans.

 

We must unite in a new political force before we are swept into the dustbin of history.

Nazism, socialism, and communism were responsible for the loss of millions of innocent lives in the past century. What do they care if a few million American patriots have to die so that they can have their leftist utopia? They don’t care. Many of them salivate at the thought of our deaths. Take back our language. Take back our right to express ourselves. It is the only way to prevent the nightmare from which there can be no waking. We cannot allow the ideas of liberty to be lost by our silence.

We need to run candidates in every town and city across the land. We need patriots who will strike down our enemies in the political arena and save us from the need to strike down our enemies in the combat arena. There isn’t much time left.

Stop Fighting the Fruit – Start Chopping the Root

Stop Fighting the Fruit – Start Chopping the Root

– 8 March 2014

 – by Robert W. Peck, Constitution Party of Washington state chairman –

axe-to-root-295 I’m always looking for the principle behind a thing, the key thing, the root thing, the thing that makes it all work. I can’t walk into a building without starting to analyze the structure to figure out which is a load-bearing wall, which is a facade, what holds this up and what supports that.I’m that way with politics and government too. I want to find the foundational principles that make for good government, the eternal truths that can tell me which policies are right or wrong. I want to make sure I’m getting to the root of the matter and am not being distracted by something superficial.

I realize not everyone is like me and I don’t expect you to be. However, there are times in life when we absolutely must understand what is at the root of a matter and make sure we are dealing with it at the source. If not, we’ll be destined to futility in our dealings with it and we’ll never be able to fix it when it’s broken. Think about it – you don’t go to a doctor just to talk with him about how you feel, then have him give you something to relieve those symptoms. You go to a doctor to have him correctly diagnose the root cause of the symptoms so you can fix the problem at its source.

Likewise, in matters of politics and civil government, we cannot afford to become distracted with superficial things that are mere symptoms of a more systemic, root matter. We risk getting caught up in treating the symptoms of our political ailment and failing to fight the disease at the root.

I was recently reminded of the importance of understanding key issues, principles and underlying causes while reviewing an article by Memphis attorney and 2008 Constitution Party Vice Presidential nominee, Darrell Castle. In his article on “How the Republic Became a Monarchy,” Darrell went all the way back to President Woodrow Wilson, the 16th Amendment (the income tax) and the establishing of the Federal Reserve in order to show his readers how key things that happened 100 years ago are at the root of much of what we are dealing with today. I highly recommend a review of Darrell’s article, both for the sake of the information provided in it and as an exercise in learning to identify key issues that are at the root of our nation’s maladies. If you prefer, the same information is available as a four part series of audio podcasts (about 5 mins. each) at www.castlereport.us (Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4).

While I say this in love, seeking the best interest of my friends, brethren and fellow countrymen, I have to point out that the Christian-conervative-right has, in great part, lost sight of the key issues, root matters and foundational principles. We have become distracted with the symptoms of the diseases that plague our land and have come to devote the majority of our time and effort to suppressing the symptoms instead of eradicating the disease.

The conservative movement has become like a man with a tree in his backyard that is producing poisonous fruit. His strategy is to grab a stick and start swinging at whatever piece of fruit happens to catch his eye, hoping to knock some of it off the branch before it matures. But no matter how frantically he swings at the fruit, it keeps coming back faster than he can knock it down. He has become so distracted by his frenzied fight with the fruit on the branches that he fails to notice the root feeding the tree. If he would just take an ax and start chopping off the roots instead, he could rid himself of all the toxic fruit.

Through a combination of distraction and a forgetfulness of the foundational Biblical values, strict Constitutional limits and key principles of liberty, the conservative movement has come to a place of counting a slower loss as a win and the partial alleviating of a symptom as a major victory. Today’s conservatism appears to only be playing defense and is singularly devoted to the strategy of trying to slow the spread of the disease and ease some of the symptoms. My friend, former Montana State Representative, Rick Jore, refers to members of his former party who follow this strategy as, “Slow Death Republicans.”

Let’s look at just a few examples of key issues, root causes and foundational principles versus distractions and treating the symptoms.

THE INCOME TAX

How much time and energy did the conservative movement expend fighting to get, and later to keep, the so called “Bush tax cuts”? By the attention given to them, those tax cuts would appear to have been the conservative event of the decade and probably were the high water mark of conservative achievement during that period. But how much difference did those tax cuts actually make in your everyday life? How much more disposable income do you have now?

The fact is that those tax cuts only made a few minor adjustments to a huge, complex and evil system of taxation that a Republican President and Republican controlled Congress had it in their power to abolish – possibly by repealing the 16th Amendment, but at least by defunding and dismantling the IRS. Conservatives heralded as a tremendous victory this barely discernible relief brought to just one of the nation’s multitude of maladies. But the conservative movement, as represented by those to whom it had handed the reins of power, utterly passed up the opportunity to lay the ax to a major root providing the revenues that feed a plethora of un-Constitutional branches of government.

THE FEDERAL RESERVE

Conservatives spend massive amounts of time and energy fighting policies and agendas that come down through a vast maze of un-Constitutional and extra-Constitutional bureaus, agencies and programs. All forms of federal taxation combined are not sufficient to support the heavy load of all these agencies and programs. In other words, these can only exist through deficit spending – deficit spending that is facilitated by the existence of the Federal Reserve and its ability to create fiat funny money out of thin air, backed by nothing. During the conservative reign of complete Republican control from 2000 to 2006, the President and Congress had it within their power to repeal the Federal Reserve Act and restore Constitutionally authorized money coined by Congress and backed by gold. This would have chopped off another major root that feeds the branches of un-Constitutional government through deficit spending. But who in the dominant conservative movement or the Republican Party even alluded to this possibility, much less called for it?

GREAT SOCIETY” PROGRAMS

This isn’t just happening at the federal level. The distraction from key issues and fundamental principles is taking place in the states too. Today’s brand of conservatism at the state level seems to consist of contending for performance audits and better management of the state’s many Great Society, welfare and social services programs. Conservative law makers tout it as a great victory whenever they can sustain the current state programs and agencies without raising taxes. But if the conservative movement were remembering its origins in the principles of liberty and limited government in the spirit of the American founders, it would be contending for the complete defunding and dismantling of every one of those socialist programs. And in case you think it’s the Democrats that won’t let them do it, keep in mind that fully half of the states are currently under complete Republican control with a majority in both houses and the governorship.

EDUCATION

Today’s brand of conservatism thinks it is really taking a stand when it answers the education establishment’s demands for increased funding with timid suggestions that maybe we should audit the government schools first, or evaluate teacher performance. But the Bible teaches that the education of children is the sole responsibility and jurisdiction of parents. When government mandates and regulates the educating of children, it comes between parent and child, violates the God ordained order and is outside of its God given jurisdiction. When government taxes one man for the education of another man’s child, it now engages in legalized plunder, violation of that man’s liberty and establishes socialism. If conservatives were discerning the root matters and committed to fundamental principles, they would be calling for the abolition of government run education, not trying to “fix it.”

BEING “CONSERVATIVE” SOCIALISTS

Just the other day, I received an email from a “conservative” legislator representing one of the most conservative districts in my state. One of the bragging points in his legislative report was that he had brought home the bacon to the tune of $1million for a “skills center” (aka vocational school). This is a foray by government into an area of education where many privately operated vocational schools and technical institutes have been meeting the need quite well. This is governments’ making the conscious choice to go into competition with existing private sector business and doing so with the advantage of being taxpayer-subsidized. Today’s “new conservatism” boasts that it brings home the bacon, gets us our “fair share” from the bucket of socialist slop and, by the way, it pats us on the back for being fiscally responsible, bragging that our “skills” center has the lowest cost per square foot of any similar socialist program across the state – boy, aren’t we conservative!

The Republicans are not in the majority in my state and may not have had anything to do with funding this particular program, but it’s sad when the best that the new conservatism can do is to congratulate ourselves as to what fiscally responsible socialists we are. Even if a legislator is not in a position to eliminate such socialistic programs from the state’s budget, couldn’t he, we, or the conservative movement, at least use an occasion like this as an opportunity to share a lesson on fundamental principles of liberty, limited government, private sector free enterprise and Biblical jurisdictions? How is anyone going to learn to discern socialism from liberty, or know that it’s bad and why it’s wrong when “conservative” legislators don’t speak out against it?

These are just a few examples that show us that the conservative movement has become distracted from the key issues and root matters and has ceased fighting the disease and settled for treating the symptoms instead. The new conservatism, as manifested by the Republican Party at least, now accepts socialism and prides itself on being able to make un-Constitutional, secular humanist, socialist, big government work better than the other party.

We need to learn to think like Americans again because we’ve obviously forgotten. May I recommend the short weekly commentaries of Institute on the Constitution co-founder and 2004 Constitution Party Presidential nominee, Michael Anthony Peroutka, at www.theamericanview.com. Subscribe today and in no time at all Michael will have you thinking like an American again and believing that “there is a God; our rights come from Him; government exists to protect those rights.”

May I challenge us to begin scrutinizing every political issue to discern the difference between key issues and mere distractions. Darrell Castle’s news and commentary podcsats can help with this. It only takes 5 minutes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at www.castlereport.us.

Then, once we’ve learned to tell the difference between the root and the fruit, let’s grab our ax and start chopping at the root.
