BEWARE: Little 'ism's' can lead to BIG 'ISM's'

America has been steeped in far leaning ideologies for many years, the past (12) years have shown an increasing progression in both directions.

Our former government administration (2008-2016) leaned far left and was deeply immersed in globalism or globalist ideology. This ideology seeks to eliminate national sovereignty, eliminate borders, create an economy interdependent on other economies, and adopt global political structures and policies. It is sold as a way to create equality on a global scale, however, it actually has the opposite affect by exploiting poorer nations and, in turn, increasing poverty in developed nations in order to compete. What’s the benefit?

Economically, the global elites greatly increase their profits, big business becomes wealthier, middle class shrinks and poverty grows. Politically, the global elites have all the power and control who is in charge, after all, they know what’s best for the peasants (you and me). Culturally, the global elites control what is to be believed, who to follow and overall morality. On a brighter note😊, our current administration, have a globalist agenda, which includes almost the entire democratic party, and surprise, surprise, many of the long-term republicans as well, aka, deep state global elites. Yup, this is the money that has behind everything going ‘left’ during this election and its only just begun (again). Socialism is the ‘tool’ used to achieve globalism by depleting a strong economy, increasing government dependency and weakening populace resolve. There’s a lot more that can be listed here but I’ll move on to the point.

Our last administration (2016-2020) leans far right and are deeply immersed in nationalism. This ideology believes that each nation should govern itself free from outside interference and exercise its right to be a sovereign nation. It believes that all humans, regardless of race, sex, national origin, religion, etc., have the freedom to rule themselves. Nationalism puts the interest of their nation first ahead of the interests of other sovereign nations. Sound familiar? Note: Most of the republican party are nationalists and few democrats, however, most republicans in the power positions are deep state globalists!

So…. your choice. Which ‘ism’ would you rather live in and be a part of? Which ‘ism’ represents the founding principles of our nation?

But on to the danger of the bigger ‘ISM’…….

When globalism is understood for what it actually is, it will never be accepted by a free people and this is where the bigger ‘ISM’, RADICALISM, enters the fray. In order for globalism to take root, the moral foundations of freedom must be destroyed. Nationalism ensures that all humans regardless of race, sex, national origin, religion, etc. are free to self-rule, thus, in order to undermine this, globalists turn race against race (black/white/brown/yellow), sex against sex (male vs. female), national origin against nationalists (mexican/hispanic/chinese vs. nationalists) and attacks religious values as oppressive or bigoted. The globalists use propaganda and tactics straight from the writings of Joseph Goebbels (Nazi Minister of Propaganda) and Saul Alinsky (Communist Radical Community Organizer – wrote ‘Rules for Radicals’) to name a couple. This includes violent protests funded and incited by global elites, creating ‘incidents’ to inspire protests and violence, accusing their enemy of the very things they are are doing to create a ‘smoke and mirror’ affect, ridicule the enemy with false accusations, keep the pressure on, threaten your enemy, use every crisis to forward your agenda, repeat a lie over and over and it will become the public truth, etc.. Sound familiar? This is dangerous stuff folks and our former POTUS (2008-2016) was a student and admirer of Saul Alinsky among many other radicals. The Clinton’s were also deeply immersed in this radical ideology among many other prominent democrats. This is the major reason half of the American population has lost their mind; they’ve been programmed. Your fellow American’s are not the enemy, the globalist elites are! It is our duty to educate ourselves on the facts so we can educate others!

My biggest fear going forward is the radicalization of the nationalists and I already see signs that its beginning. Following is a brief history lesson to explain how nationalism can be radicalized:

Following World War I, the Treaty of Versailles forced Germany to accept responsibility for the war, took away 10% of their land, took all their overseas colonies, obtained 16% of their coal industry and 48% of its iron industry. Germany was limited on the size of their armed forces and were forced to pay billions in reparations. This threw the German population into mass unemployment, widespread poverty with little hope of recovering.

A well-connected journalist, publicist and political activist named Dietrich Eckhart was a proud German nationalist that founded the German Workers Party, which later became the National Socialist German Workers Party in order to appeal to larger segments of the population. He and millions of other Germans were extremely angry about the loss of Germany’s national identity, land, resources and were passionate about restoring Germany’s economy. Although he was an accomplished writer, he sought out someone who could orate his passion to restore Germany to its former glory. Eckhart met a young man name Adolf Hitler during a speech given by Hitler in front of DAP membership in 1919 and was immediately impressed. He took the young Hitler under his wing and mentored him. Both men were impressed by one another, started a close relationship and shared ideas to begin a revolution to restore Germany’s prominence. Eckhart fervently touted Hitler as the future of Germany and the ‘German Messiah’ but began to regret this as time went on.

As Hitler gained popularity and became more militant in his ideology, he recruited more angry idealogues into the group including Rudolf Hess, Heinrich Himmler, Ernst Rohm, Herman Goering and others, Eckhart became increasingly alarmed by the radicalism of the group that eventually became the Nazi party.

The Nazi party ran in the 1923 elections and received less than 3% of the vote. They attempted a violent coup during the same year and were quickly overcome by German soldiers. Hitler was sentenced to 5 years in prison along with his confidant, Rudolf Hess, but served less than a year. Hitler gave a passionate speech during his trial that stunned the court and those in attendance. His oratory skills were remarkable in the sense he had the ability to convince listeners of things that would normally be quickly dismissed. It was so impressive that an author who had a doctorate in Phililogy (study of language and linguistics), Joseph Goebbels, read the transcripts and decided to join the Nazi party. Goebbels became one of Hitlers closest associates and arguably as evil, if not more so, than Hitler himself. Goebbels was also a great orator. He was appointed as Minister of Propaganda for the Nazi machine that later committed unspeakable atrocities against political opponents, all decenters and the Jewish people.

While in prison, Hitler decided to tone his message down and play by the political rules of engagement. The Nazi party failed again in the 1928 elections with less 2.5% of the vote; less support than what they had in the 1923 elections. Why were they not successful? Because the German economy had improved from 1923 to 1928 and the German people were satisfied with the economy, thus, did not want to deal with the Nazi party’s warnings of an impending financial crisis.

On October 28, 1929 (Black Monday) the United States Stock Market crashed sending the entire world economy into a tailspin. In Germany, the economy quickly collapsed and Hitler was being hailed as a prophet due to his former warnings. The German people began to flock to the Nazi Party who promised to make Germany great again.

In 1933, Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany by President Paul von Hindenburg. Hindenburg passed away the following year and Hitler declared himself Chancellor and President, referring to himself as the Furher (leader/guide). Hitler began to convince the German people that his political opponents were dangerous by sensationalizing isolated acts of violence committed by random people loosely associated with opposition parties (radical propaganda). These party leaders, doctors, lawyers and anyone else not loyal to the Nazi party, were put in concentration camps to endure ‘retraining’ and systematic torture.

The first concentration camps were established in 1933, not for Jews, but for political opponents. One of the first camps was Dachau just north of Nuremburg, Germany, which Tammi and I toured a couple years ago. Our 2 hour tour turned into 3 ½ hours with a spectacular German guide who gladly provided every detail of the rise and fall of the camp. The ease at which a populace of people can be repeatedly exposed to propaganda and lured into a trap was eye opening. The guide reiterated over and over again how the German people were so ashamed of the fact they were so deeply fooled and, as a result, unthinkable carnage occurred. By the time the German people realized the depth of immense hatred and depravity of Nazi leaders, it was too late… the machine was too big.

I tried to summarize as much as possible because there are a lot more details as the story continues through many more atrocities, the war and Hitler’s ultimate defeat. The point I want to emphasize here are the clues that we need to watch for to avoid developing our own form of radicalism as we move into our future as a nation:

1. Focusing on a leaders ability to speak and/or their charisma as to whether you accept their message or not is a recipe for disaster. I remember watching the 2004 democratic convention and seeing Barack Obama, the freshmen Senator from Illinois, give his speech. As I heard him begin to speak, I looked at Tammi and said, “watch out for this guy, he’s up and coming”. He had the ability to say normally disagreeable things in a way that could begin to sway even his most ardent opposition….. 4 years later he was POTUS. This was not a premonition from the prophet John, this was being informed enough to recognize that oratory ability and charisma are of the utmost importance in politics and is part of the grooming process. Politicians know it doesn’t take much to fool Americans; give them someone to look at with a smooth tongue and they’re all yours. People could have simply looked at the lack of experience, his radical writings and who his mentors were to know exactly what he stood for… a little homework goes a long way. He was an obvious globalist and was mentored by some of the most radical and immoral people on the planet.

2. Propaganda is exceedingly dangerous. This includes the fake news media, far left and far right conspiracy theories and any other information that tries to steer your inner-dialogue. People need to check the facts, do their homework and avoid sources that you absolutely know are misleading. With the rise of social media this has become an almost out of control situation. Wake-up folks, not everything you read is true… stuff is manufactured for you daily to steer your minds in a direction beneficial to someone or something… be smart! Question everything! Look at both sides!

3. Violence is never the answer unless there is an imminent threat to you or others. In those cases you, by all means, take swift and decisive action. The Antifa and BLM mobs that were burning down cities, destroying property, tearing down statues and hurting police/innocent people should have been stopped by any means necessary. They should have been locked-up and made an example of what happens when you break the law. Likewise, the mob that stormed the capital yesterday should have been beat down and arrested at the barriers. Many are saying this was instigated by Antifa…. ok….. they should have beat down and arrested at the barriers regardless of who they represent….. you also have to ask yourself why the peaceful protestors were not stopping the ass-clowns…… violence is not ok, PERIOD! It makes us all look like a bunch of idiots, it solves nothing and ultimately we just lose more of our civil liberties… why? Because we can’t be trusted to be mature adults so we have to be treated like children. For that person reading this with smoke coming out of your ears…. I get it, we’re all pissed off and would like to take it out on something…. Just STOP! Look at the root of the issue and find intelligent solutions. Have you called your representative or senator lately and let them know they better do something or you’ll do everything in your power to see them replaced? Have you done any more than sit in your recliner and complain? If you have, good, stay the course. If you haven’t, get off your ass and get involved in the process. If none of that stupid crap would have happened yesterday and everyone would have walked away peacefully, the POTUS you claim to love wouldn’t have had to deal with the Article 25 and impeachment talk… the clowns that broke through the barriers (Antifa and Trump supporters at worst) and into the capital just added to what he had to deal with.

4. The German people were totally fickle. As long as they had prosperity, they rejected the negativity of the Nazi Party but once they felt financial pressure, they caved to the party that promised them the most… sound familiar? We have to do what’s right no matter what folks. Instead of making political decisions based on what you will, or will not, get is the height of ignorance, selfishness, irresponsibility and immaturity. There is a time coming in the very near future where there will be great suffering in America and you’ll be forced to make personal sacrifices…. or will you? It will be interesting to observe folks when a little pressure is applied for real. You think 2020 was bad…. prepare yourself, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

There is a price to pay for our sin and I don’t take this lightly at all…. have you ever seen the reaction of a spoiled fat baby when you take candy from him? Multiply that times 1000 and that’s what you’re going to see from your fellow American’s. My point here is that we must be principled in our decisions no matter what our personal situation is. We need to think of the ramifications of free education, free healthcare, handing out cash, etc. means to the future of our country. Who’s going to pay for it? If you want a real solution, kick the people out of office that are sending our money to the rest of the world (globalists). If we had all that cash, we may be able to do some really cool things in our country but first we have to get the corruption out of Washington… yes, drain the swamp!

The only way to radicalize nationalism is through uncontrolled anger, bitterness, resentment, frustration and a sense of hopelessness…. and many are there! Beware, satan is just around the corner practicing his oratory skills and putting on his charismatic personality just for you. This is exactly what happened in Germany 100 years ago and it resulted in the deaths of over 85 Million people. Refuse to be radical, we must be set apart!

We must avoid being pulled into a radical agenda by, first of all, calming down. Stop bickering, stop the news cycle, stop watching the self-proclaimed prophets (who have some ‘splaining to do by the way, lol) and put things in perspective. Realize that most Americans have been asleep for their entire life and have just woke up to the reality of losing the country they’ve been trained to love.

Get on your knees and pray regularly, repent for your slumber and ask God to help us through these perilous times we find ourselves in. Get in the habit of feeding your eyes and ears good things; blow the dust off that Bible, start in the book of John and work your way through the New Testament. Allow the Holy Spirit to minister to you one on one and watch the pain and stress melt away. Trust me, I practice this myself and I’ll never be hopeless because I have Him. Is He going to heal our country? I don’t know, I guess it depends on if we pray, repent and turn from our wicked ways…. I do know He’s coming back for those in Christ, so I’m good, are you?

Be wise, trust Him, and put your faith in Him. He’ll always be there to pick you up and set things straight….. be like Mikey… try it, you’ll like it….
