THE WAR ON WORDS (Part 3)
Do we empower our conquerers by allowing them to control the terms of debate?
“Deceiving people in order to gain power was written about by Machiavelli in, “The Prince,” 1513;
The promise given was a necessity of the past: the word broken is a necessity of the present…..
A prince never lacks legitimate reasons to break his promise….
A wise ruler ought never to keep faith when by doing so it would be against his interests.
This is similar to Islamic “taqiiya” deception: if strong, attack; and if weak, make “hudnaf” treaties until strong enough to attack. British philosopher Thomas Hobbs wrote in, “Leviathan, (1651, pt. 1, Ch 13): Force and fraud, are in war the two cardinal virtues.”
These quotes are from SOCIALISM, The real story, from Plato to the present, William J. Federer.
This aligns with a quote from CHILDREN OF DUNE, “When I am Weaker Than You, I ask you for Freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am Stronger than you, I take away your Freedom Because that is according to my principles,” Frank Herbert, Children of Dune
Tyrants, and their enablers, those that despise the principals of liberty, and exalt “their wisdom,” or the “wisdom” of those that they support, believe that they are righteous to exploit the compassion of liberty lovers by deception in the pursuit of the power to subvert, and take away their ability to resist tyranny. Many actually believe that they are compassionate, and know better what’s best for everyone, than those that they seek to subvert.
Those that hate the ideas of our nation’s founding, are sure that they possess greater wisdom than those that pledged their life, fortunes, and sacred honor to fight for the cause of liberty. They have accepted the farce, and the propaganda of tyrants, and will attempt to shame those that oppose them, and their propositions. They will act as though they are compassionate, and concerned with the greater good. They will oppose you in friendly tones, they will often resist raising their voice. They will accuse their opposition of being mean, or of intolerance, while absolutely refusing to entertain rational debate. They will assume the “higher ground,” while being totally intolerant of opposing opinions, facts, or evidence. These are the intolerant. They, like the Pharisees, of Jesus’ day, or Lucifer, accuse others of the very tactics that they continually use.
They expect for you to agree to empower them for fear of being called intolerant, or a bigot, a racist, or some other “woke” insult, and they are convinced that they are righteous, and justified to do so. They completely ignore the fact that the “wise policies” that they propose, or endorse, have all been tried, time and again, with disastrous results. There are many countries today, that have gone down the “socialist” road. It always begins as compassionate. The tyrant appears to be moved by the plight of the poor, and promises equity. They will pit the “haves,” against the “have nots,” the majority against the minority, or one race against another, or as we see it now in the USA, “whites” against all other races. They will promise to even the playing field by taking from those presented as bullies, and giving it to those they present as the bullied.
The end result is always the same, the tyrant, and a choice few of their supporters become the powerful, the rich, and the untouchable. They will allow no challenge to their dictates, no opposition at all. Those that seek to oppose them are imprisoned, “reeducated,” or illuminated. All opposition must be squashed. Historical, and contemporary examples abound, yet our academics, media, and the leadership of the Democrat Party refuse to accept, or even acknowledge these facts. They will not discuss them. If anyone tries to engage them on any of these points, they will be shut down, and shamed.
The ninth commandment of God states, “You shall not bearfalsewitness against your neighbor.” Exodus 20:16. “And you shall not bearfalsewitness against your neighbor.” Dut 5:20. “A man who bears falsewitness against his neighbor is like a war club, or a sword, or a sharp arrow.” Prov 25:18
How is it that so many “Christians” are prone to agree with those that bear false witness against those that vehemently oppose tyranny? How can they readily ignore facts like that the Democrat Party is the party of slavery, the party of Jim Crow, the party of segregation, the party of racism, the party that opposes the Constitution of the United States of America, the party of judicial tyranny, the party of socialism, and the party of Marxism. How can we empower those that bear, “false witness,” against our brethren by withholding opposition?
If the USA descends into Marxism, it will be because of the efforts of our Democrat brethren, and because we lacked the wisdom, and the will to resist their efforts. We will be consumed by, “American Marxism,” because we will not have relied on the promises of God, or the principals on which our nation was founded. Because we lack the will to fight for our inheritance, because we have chosen not to pledge our life, fortune, and sacred honor to fight for the cause of liberty, nor will we submit to the Word of God.
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
James 4:7.
