Vive la France!

I recently discovered that many of my most current readers are from FRANCE. For this I am thrilled and say DIEU VOUS BENISSE!

I also say, JE SUIS AVEC VOUS!!!! and or JE PLEURE AVEC VOUS!!!

Whichever would carry the most weight from my heart at this point...believe me, you have my heart!

MAINTENEZ la RESISTANCE!

As the reality of the new COVID ID continues to test free countries, the resolve of free people, and economies all over the world, the FRENCH people continue their fight for a revolution against the new world mark and standard of freedom. 

It seems that the world and world leaders in particular have forgotten the definition of segregation and what actually happened in Germany under the Nazi regime.  Before I start, many critics will say, what the Nazis did has nothing to do with covid 19 and medical safety. I say...hold on, just a little bit, because the parallel is more tight than biblical critics parallel theories of the bible.

The Nuremberg Laws

Shortly after the Nazis took control, a new set of laws was introduced called the Nuremberg Laws. These laws were aimed at defining who was a true German/Aryan and who was a Jew and enshrining the difference between the two in law. 

You see, Hitler's rise was based on racism, separatism and what appeared to be "common sense" reforms, at least based on many culturally commensurate ideas and values at the time. It seemed that the German economy was stagnate and this was, according to advocates, because of outside influences and ultimately the Jewish people in particular who were looked at as those who stole opportunity from true German citizens and either deserved deportation or death.  

FAKE Science or REAL Hysteria?

Unbelievably, the Nazi's contended that being an Aryan and being a Jew was some sort of unseen biological certainty or that race could be distinguished by one's literal and physical blood. Heritage or physical lineage and certain physical signs such as blond hair and blue eyes confirmed the relationships of people and helped categorize them as either preferred or inferior, and in some cases repulsive and acceptable to be extinguished or put to death. Amazing thing is that I don't think Hitler himself had blond hair or blue eyes, but that went seemingly unquestioned. 

You see, there were all kinds of associations tied to fake premises and beliefs that worked their way into law and made people, even many within the church, accept the brutality and dehumanization of racism, segregation, exclusion and even murder of the innocents based on perceived and invisible "dangers". 

Hitler's Views Of The French

Hitler is said to have admired the French people because of their FIGHT and because they were not quitters. He pointed out that 3,700 French had stood against 37,000 Germans and Italians at Bir Hakeim and deserved respect. He loved French culture and art and ultimately only took half the country for a certain period of time and claiming visits to France as being something he was glad to have experienced and relished for his most faithful fellow murderous leaders.  

With all that admiration Hitler yet claimed the French to be second class citizens and lower or beneath the lowest of Germans or the true Aryans. 

The DEATH PASS

A pass called the Ahnepass (ancestor pass) was issued that had to show the lineage and bloodline of the holder in order to participate in society. This was one of the Aryans certificates necessary to live in society, to advance, hold a job and get about freely. Noone else was welcomed within society and people without a pass did not have rights of freedom. It had to be proven who was a true Aryan.  Papers were checked right there on the street and violation or no papers could not only lead to jail time, but also to death right there on the spot  in the name of "the Reich"

The pass was something that just came along with bondage and evil. It was a tool to restrict freedom from some, while extending freedom to others. The pass was discriminatory, a segregationist tactic, and evil perpetrated upon society, creating winners and losers based on racial identity and ultimately fake science, conjecture and supported by many who knew better, but complied and conformed. 

I just want to take the time to encourage the French people and allow them to remember why they are a FREE people today. In part because they never yielded to dictatorship, and the evil of oppression and should continue to be unyielding in their efforts to be free. 

The Marcron government has forgotten his pledge of freedom in favor of a disease for which there is a 99.98% recovery rate. 113,000 (bless their souls) out of the 6.4 million people infected with covid, have lost their lives,  Marcon and his governmental associates have forgotten how the French people at one time stood in the gap of freedom for the world. Covid has been used to reverse freedom and fuel bondage.

Yes, the same ridiculous sentiment is being accepted and adopted in America, as many leaders have been chomping at the bits to reverse American freedoms and embrace socialism and marxism. The only thing they were not expecting, is that many people have come to America LEGALLY who fled socialist and marxist systems and will not stand for the same things that destroyed their homes and dreams to exist in this new world filled with hope and dreams.  

To the French people, all I can say is, it is TIME for another FRENCH REVOLUTION! Vive la France!!! I am sure an AMERICAN REVOLUTION won't be far behind!!!

Blessed!

Color Communism & Common Sense. TRUE Black History And The Plot To Use The Black Community Against America

I must say that of all the posts that I have done, this would have to be one of the top 10 both in personal interest and public urgency, but I suppose, that because so many people love sensationalism, it won't reach the top 20 in my listing of nearly 700 posts on this blog. Why am I so pessimistic? Because this video and subsequent read, reveals some deep truth regarding the current condition of America and the Black American community and does not blame White people, using this new buzz word "systemic racism" (that even liberal Whites have adopted to describe systems that they have implemented) for the current condition of social and political unrest that we are experiencing today. 

Yes, this information is deeply revealing. It reveals a concerted effort to use a system of Boule Blacks and common Blacks, by never allowing racial injustice to heal. This information reveals communism in its mission to overthrow the United States and I have personally seen, witnessed and documented these forces in action. What makes it so bad is that this revelation is nothing new. It has existed since prior to its formation as a way to change America, undermining its values and eliminating the CHURCH and its voice as it upholds freedom and morality in a free society. 

COLOR COMMUNISM & COMMON SENSE was written by Manning Johnson (12/17/1908 - 7/2/1959), who was the former Communist Party USA pick for representative in New York's 22nd congressional district in 1935. His book, can be read in its entirety HERE.

Brooklyn's Call For More Police, Not Less & Marxism's Dilemma

Parents & Families of  recent NYC Murders

In light of the Black Lives Matter, Marxist inspired anarchy that has shaken our inner cities, facilitated murder, and delivered all sorts of mayhem in the streets, citizens are finally seeing the process of the "utopian" vision of Marxism and that of the Black Lives Matter organization. 

Recently, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams called for NYC to reinstate its recently disbanded 600 member anti-crime unit which BLM and other community RE-organizers took as a "win" when the unit was decommissioned. At the same time groups like BLM encouraged protesters to violate stay at home orders, pandemic restrictions and everything else the Department of Health had put in place to combat covid 19, and managed in the process to seduce Mayors, Governors, City ans State Officials and even major corporate heads to take part in the alleged protests for justice. . 

What's The Problem?

Borough President Eric Adams & NYC Mayor de Blasio

As I've noted HERE and HERE the problem is that crime in the streets has increased as BLM and like organizations receive concession from cities and governments and financial contributions to implement their alleged "reforms" within our communities. It seems that the people they claim to be fighting for are the ones continuing to be killed, raped and robbed, and this time without police hope of police mitigation  or help in obtaining justice because political leaders have been ideologically seduced and most leaders, who happen to be DEMOCRAT, embrace the insistent rambling of the Marxist organization and those they have empowered to carry out their anarchy in these respective areas. 

Marxism's Dilemma

The Death Of The Sacrificial Lambs

I'd like to simply say here that Marxism/Communism has never had an issue with killing and sacrificing millions of every age for its purpose. For instance we must remember Mau Tse Tung in his Great Leap Forward ideology, is said to have killed 20 million to 46 million Chinese people in just 5 short years from 1958 to 1962. Interestingly enough Mau's idol was former Communist leader, Joseph Stahlin, who was said to have killed or orchestrated the murder and starvation of over 20 million Russians in his lust and zeal for power. Then there was Cambodian leader Pol Pot, who was also a Marxist and General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea, that killed and tortured nearly 25% of Cambodia's 7 million citizens, followed by the Khmer Rouge, a Communist Party that is said to have killed another 1.7 to 3 million Cambodians from 1975 to 1979.   

Patrice Collours
BLM Founder &
"trained Marxist"

What am I saying? The murder of innocents is NOTHING to Marxist ideology. YES THIS IS THE SAME IDEOLOGY THAT BLACK LIVES MATTER EMBRACES and claims to be "trained" in. In nearly every instance, it seems that the death of the innocents and loss of life in the process of change while embracing this twisted political system, is only collateral damage. 

Ask yourself, have ANY of the leaders and alleged "trained Marxists" of BLM spoke out against violence or the murder of the innocents in the cities they parade and encourage the murder of police? Have they called ANY of the mothers and or fathers who have lost children to idiots having gun fights in public places and or simply killing indiscriminately? I'll venture to guess that the answer is NOPE!!!! WHY? Because the death of these and the increasing violence serve the purpose of their organizational and Marxist goals, which begin with creating public unrest, reframing the history and success of America and American values, removing a sitting President, and then overturning the complete political system and process of the United States, using socialism to recreate America as a Communist State.

Remember this however, as I stated on Facebook:

Marxism & Marx's Specter

In 1945, two months after winning WWII, young British voters turned from Winston Churchill to Clement Attlee, an undercover Marxist who had infiltrated the Labor Party.

Act 1: Nationalize the Healthcare system
Subsequent Acts: Nationalize finance, auto, coal, steel communications, & civil aviation.
The BRITISH ECONOMY COLLAPSED WITHIN 5 YEARS

Jaguar and Rolls Royce had to be financially bailed out by other countries in order to survive

In 1950 Great Britian reelected Winston Churchill, but spent the next EIGHTEEN years undoing the damage that Attlee's Marxist Specter gov't had done.

Marx's Specter is the first noun outlined in the Communist Manifesto. It never dies and does not change. And as such is one of the most dangerous and devastating political and social ideas in history. If we fail to learn from history we are destined to repeat it. Source: "Disinformation" by Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa & Ronald J. Rychlak WND Books, Washington, DC, 2013 Pgs. 309-311

I for one intend to fight FOR America and against the change of our culture and cultural values to Marxism, sot socialism and or Communism. I invite those who want to make America better, but at the same time retain American values and freedoms, to join me in this cause.

The Murder Of George Floyd: Anarchy & Protest Are NOT The Same

The murder of George Floyd (and I did say MURDER, as he was killed openly and in the streets by someone who thought he had the privilege to do so)  illicits the best and worst of America. One one hand we show why and how America is different from any country, by allowing its citizens to contend and protest for change and to decry this horrible act. On the other hand, we observe anarchists bent on destroying American values of freedom, capitalism and parochial values by looting, creating public disturbance, and causing as much discord as possible. 

While police reform is and has long been in order, and certainly there is yet racism within the criminal justice system that does not allow Black citizens, and Black males in particular, the opportunity for equal and fair justice, countries like China who have an abysmal human rights record for all of its citizens, need not say a mumbling WORD about American injustice, because citizenship rights do not exist. The Chi-comm nation is what it is, a communist governmental system by extension, responsible for millions, if not billions, of deaths and suppression of its citizens for extended and extensive periods of time. Ooh yes! We remember Emperor Mau Zedong, who's "Great Leap Forward" policy led to the deaths of 20 million to 46 million Chinese people from 1958 to 1962. In addition, after all the current and more recent murderous policies including a "one child policy", and a denial of human rights, their government can really SHUT UP!

CONFUSION

Be clear, the MURDER of George Floyd was wrong, like many of the other Black victims (both men and women) who have suffered death and tragedy at the hands of police in America however,  rioting and looting has nothing to do with political or social reforms, nor the cause of George Floyd's death. Be sure the ONLY reason that such actions are being taken by left leaning anarchists with extreme right wingers in tow, is because some want to see the whole American system of government overthrown. They want socialism, communism and Nazi like policies to reign and exist within the United States. Although they have a right to those feelings, I am glad that Americans continually rise to see extremist garbage for what it is, and as vocal as they become, they will not gain any ground because they are wholly inconsistent in their demands, and their values are wholly incompatible with American values of freedom.

My Statement; A DUNAMIS WORD On The Issue

With and during all of this, I have not sat silently. As I witnessed the confusion festering in my own community. I was recently prompted to speak and write on the issue. Hopefully the following statement will also resonate with you, the readers of the Dunamis Word, as it has with many readers on Facebook.

My statement on Peoria's response to George Floyd's death, Criminal Justice and rioting and looting: 

Our streets should not be a war zone. People looting are not grieving George Floyd's death. They are THUGS and CRIMINALS who need to be stopped. Their actions are immoral and only ADD TO the immorality of what Black men in particular have experienced in America. 

Your smash and grab THIEVERY does not represent any cause of policy or societal change. Go to Communist Russia and China and see how long your actions will be tolerated. You find from DAY 1 that your actions will not be tolerated. 

You should THANK GOD for a constitution that preserves your rights and affords you the opportunity to change what is wrong. The system is by no means perfect, but it is a system of citizens not criminals! 

Enough of associating lawlessness with pain. NO, I DON'T ACCEPT THAT INFANTILE ARGUMENT! I have been in pain, but I did not steal, nor did I kill! Pain is no excuse to destroy our community nor our country. 

Our predecessors faced more pain than we have ever faced. They were beaten for education. They were denied equal chances and opportunities for success. They were considered the lowest of society, but they formulated the HIGHEST standards of moral values that shaped families and communities and held things together to open the door to all the privileges we have today. 

You have denigrated their memory. Spit on their graves. Shown the greatest disrespect and disregard for their efforts. For the lives of them that have been lost, you have defiled their character and pushed their voices from the grave aside simply so you can have Jordan's that you did not pay for and stolen clothes to cover your ugliness...but you are UNCOVERED! 

GOD SEES ALL THAT YOU DO AND HE HAS DISCERNED YOUR PLANS AND YOU ARE JUDGED! 

THERE will be no arguments in HIS court. Only works done in righteous will stand and last. You have forged a weight of iron upon your children and families for the cost of fashion, you did not pay for and for confusion that displays your thought process.

We MUST speak the truth to YOU! You may be a Lion but your roar is powerless and your rant ineffective. 

Confusion is your your plight because hatred is your method. It begins with the hatred you have amassed for yourself and your future. It extends to the hatred you have for your fellow citizens who now suffer further by not having institutions who can safely supply their food, medication and clothing needs. You have shown that you could not possibly have any care for George Floyd, who many of you never met, while you despise the neighbors in your very own community. 

PASTORS, LEADERS, THOSE WHO LOVE NOT ONLY THE BLACK COMMUNITY BUT OUR NATION..MAKE A STAND TO REACH, TEACH AND EDUCATE these on more than civil process, but moral and value centered process. RESTORE family values as these enemies seek to disregard family and what it means.

We must make a stand. This generation does not have the moral wherewithal or the mental stamina to advance. 

The comparison of riots is not apropos here. The basis and the moral focus of the anarchy is. When we look at who is better by the actions of these anarchists, we see noone is made better. They stand in shadows and throw stones to prove that there is no real plan to progressively move from where we are into new light.

I for one WILL NOT FOLLOW them into their darkness!

MAGA: TI, "When Was America Great"?

The political climate of America is so sick right now, I hardly know where to begin. We have political candidates asserting that the Constitution of the United States needs to be done away with...We have whole news organizations (CNN) dedicating all of their time to liberal left political ideology and propaganda, we have leaders promising monthly check for all Americans and then calling themselves "mathematicians" and, on top of all that, we have a President who announces America's political and social and even military positions by Twitter of all things...

WHAT A MESS!!!!

Then, we have REVOLT! An event supposedly organized by Blacks, funded by Whites, (AT&T, probably doesn't have more Black stockholders than White ones for sure)  This was a forum seemingly heard all around the world featuring an assortment of Black liberals and conservatives. Some more popular than others to make public statements about the divide in the Black community over White Supremacy, American nationalism, and social justice and equality. 

In an exchange that seemingly got all the juices flowing renowned rap start TI also know as TIP on some occasions (whenever that alter ego kicks in to deal with certain things) asked Candice Owens, who has been accused of being a "Trump supporter" like many of us who have come off the democrat plantation to think for ourselves, "When was America Great?" as if to ask since President Trump is saying "Make America Great Again", what period of time would he be referring to?

Now, this is tricky because most people look for an era or a period of time in which America was "Great" for everybody within America. However, no such fiction exists. I would also say, if it doesn't exist within America, it certainly doesn't exist in any other country or nation on this earth, because all nations are filled with troubling past and history. So the utopia DOES NOT exist. However, TI in his zeal to flesh out sentiment against Trump was adamant to know how is America going to be MAGA and when was it ever MAGA to begin with which I believe is liberalism run amuck. 

Though Candace was a little taken back by the response of the audience and the treatment she received, immediately I had an answer for TI without question that I wish I could have said it right there on the stage. What amazes me is the very fact that Black folk could gather under a White owned and controlled corporate banner, AT&T, receive a stage to boost personal popularity and success, and deride White folk for being racist and White Supremacists, was clear fodder simply waiting to be devoured...but more than that, every one of those fine Black people on stage had come through a process in life where their very material success was directly connected to not only their personal efforts, but the efforts of White people from all parts of the country and even the world. I'll speak more on this as this is what I said:

"Now in this so called "REVOLT SUMMIT" sponsored by ATT through PDiddy (ATT need to save Direct TV instead of doing summits) TI asked, "during what period was America great?" As if this was some great startling moment...Candace Owens drove a message, but what she should have said was this...

"America was great when your Black behind got that first $500,000 check and took it to the bank and when you bought your first Bentley or first multi-million dollar home! America was great when you look at your bank account and set all your TI bills to autopay and don't have to miss a thang!!!! America was/is great when YOUR material success was delivered to you not just by Blacks, because truth is we don't pay a lot for music, but by the WHITE folk that promote you, and give you a chance to be this rich and successful mogul that you "said" that you are on this stage.

For you to question when America was/is Great and how it is great, is to question yourself, everything you do, and everything you have become or think you are because no single community has done for you what you think you've done for yourself.

To ask the question is like a 2 month old baby standing on his mother's lap and slapping her in the face and claiming, "you don't know what to do with a baby"...that baby hasn't done a thing for himself...somebody else has contributed to everything he is, has, and does and only displays ignorance and arrogance with the accusation.

Since you like to smoke...smoke that TI...to da nub!"

Don't put me on the REVOLT stage...it would proly be a real REVOLT!!!!"

The critic asserts that TI and others are somehow self-made people and that Whites aren't responsible for their material success. However, even if the most conservative numbers are used, it is White folk, by far and large that are responsible for financially supporting TI and many other Black artists. The music industry itself is supported and owned by companies controlled mostly by White individuals. Then consider publishing and distribution. This is nearly exclusively White controlled and owned. 

In other words, without green dollars delivered by White people, we would not hear of TI and many other Black artists. He and many of them would have a work a day job just like the rest of us. In addition, many of our leading artists realize that there are more talented individuals out there, but they received some type of break or opportunity themselves and in many cases, those breaks were given by White people and or organizations. 

What is the message...Like Killer Mike said of the era or reconstruction, America is GREAT when we all learn to work along with one another!

America WAS great and various periods of time during American history and I agree we need to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN as a whole, but if it never arrives, I KNOW I would not enjoy the success that I do enjoy in any other country in the world...No COMMUNISM did not afford, neither will it afford me this opportunity to speak freely and hold and share my personal beliefs and values. Neither is only one race of people responsible for any of my material success...So yes, lets MAGA!!!!

Blessed!

Religious Freedom & Public Service. Are They Compatible?

We are all aware of the County Clerk, in Kentucky, Kim Davis, who refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples due to her "right of conscious" in exercising her freedom of religion. In that case the surprise was the number of Christians who objected to Mrs. Davis exercise of her religious beliefs. Some said that she did not have a right to object because gay marriage had been ratified by the courts as law and because she was in a public position that the duties of that position were greater than her ability to carry out her faith in public. The controversy lasted for quite some time and ended when the Governor signed a court order which allowed marriage licenses to be issued without the name of a County Clerk attached. Therefore Mrs. Davis was relived of any obligation to endorse gay marriage publicly while exercising her freedom of religion against nuptualizing such arrangements by signing marriage certificates.

Fast Forward...Midnight Train To Georgia

Rev. Dr. Eric Walsh 

Georgia, quickly becoming the hotbed of activity AGAINST religious freedom, has not only been threatened by Tyler Perry (that he will move his studio unless the State denied a religious freedom bill...result: I WON'T BE SEEING HIS MOVIE ANYTIME SOON!), also recently issued a sanction against a State employee.

It seems that Dr. Eric Walsh was fired from the Georgia Dept. Of Public Health earlier this year because his personal and religious views of homosexuality and evolution were contrary to the "State's" views of those same issues. What is equally as bad, is that the State, evidently prior to dismissing the Dr., demanded that he fork over his sermons and messages preached to his congregation regarding those issues. In addition, the GA Attorney General is now asking for a copy of the minister's sermons to examine them as well. What is worse is that the state is now doing this under a court order.

The State's Way Out

Of course the GA. State Dept. Of Public Health had to know how absurd that their request was. Evidently, instead of claiming that the Dr.'s personal and religious beliefs were the culprit and reason for his termination, they tried to switch the issue as many employers often do in current times, claiming that the Dr. failed to disclose that he had employment "outside" of the Dept. of Health. According to them, it was his failure to report that information that was the cause of his dismissal. Do we think that if he was "cutting grass" on the side, that he would have been dismissed? I don't think so!!!! So at the very least this shows that the State may have discriminated against him in employment if he disclosed that he was a pastor or receiving salary or compensation from a church as well. 

The Real Deal

Anyone that can read "between the tea leaves" can see that the GA. Dept. Of Health is CHALK FULL OF GARBAGE and the Attorney General's office is on something too...the truth is that they actually fired this man because of what he believes, and what he affirms by way of his belief as it pertains to religion, and Christianity in particular...

“He was fired for something he said in a sermon,”“If the government is allowed to fire someone over what he said in his sermons, they can come after any of us for our beliefs on anything.” ~  attorney Jeremy Dys 

Now fire a Muslim for what they say or teaching in a message and see what happens??? Speaking of public service, under Sharia, a Muslim woman cannot even shake a man's hand and a man is restricted from touching a woman that he is not married to...Now, do that in the GA. Dept. Of Public Health. Refuse to even touch or engage individuals of the opposite sex based on religion and the exercise of religious freedom, and I guarantee that there would be all kinds of accommodations and there would NEVER be a problem with employment...In fact he or she would probably get a raise or some deep promotion and plenty of recognition. Allow the Muslim to continue to believe teaching against homosexuality and evolution (as Islam teaches) and they would STILL BE WORKING and secure on the job today!

What the state of GA did is called the new style of Christian persecution, or persecution against Christian and biblical belief. In other words the Christian minister is singled out and treated differently because of what he or she believes, and then the employer seeks some way to rationalize their actions in distancing themselves from the person. The main effort is to rid the workplace of beliefs and belief systems that are contrary to the morality that the workplace feels that it would like to establish, no matter how immoral that workplace or work environment may be.

The very fact that the State feels that they can regulate personal belief that is rooted and based in religion, especially peaceful religion and religious practices and concepts, is rather disturbing and should be something that every serious Christian should be aware of. 

Same Thing, New Era, Different Twist

Looking back at Nazi Germany, we are reminded of the need of the State to create and present a culture and demand that the church to submit to it. The State seeks relationship with the church as much as it, the State, can be preserved or preserve itself.

Take a look back at Nazi Germany for a minute. 

"German tradition had no room for political resistance from the theological perspective, because for more than four hundred years, the evangelical churches in Germany had been closely tied to the state for protection. Using Luther's teaching of "the two kingdoms" (zwei Reiche) , the church and the state had long agreed that the church would not reach into the political sphere and the state would not violate the spiritual realm." [ Stroud, Dean G, "Preaching In Hitler's Shadow, sermons of resistance in the Third Reich" 2013 William B. Eerdmans Link: HERE]

Yes, from a historical perspective, the Socialist State had an interest in what was being taught from the pulpit, even to the point of making "agreements" on how to engage publicly. The agreement that the state needed was for the church to not engage itself in attempting to change and or regulate the State in its ideology allowing the State to set the cultural mood. In other words, the church was to be "quiet" as possible publicly, but take care of its business internally. This compromise had a great price as many non-Jewish clergy would be persecuted and killed simply because of what they believed and taught. The Nazis knew that ideas have consequences, and the brutality of their Reiche against ideals that it did not like or accept, proved it.

Landscape Of The German Church 

In Nazi Germany, among the Protestant churches there arose primarily 2 different divisions or beliefs. There arose the type of Christian known as the Deutsche Christen, or "German Christians. and the other type known as the Bekennende Kirche—the "Confessing Church Christian". The Deutsche Christians were fervently rooted in State leadership, accepting the State Socialism that defined it, loved and taught commitment to the Fiihrer, calling for nationalism and embracing whatever they could that would affirm their racism and superiority based on race. 

On the other hand, the Bekennende Kirche or the "confessing church"Christian, introduced the Barmen Confession of the faith which tied the church to the leadership of Christ and the supremacy and leadership of the word of God as opposed to an earthly leader. From these ranks, whether reluctantly or not, leaders such as Deitrick Bonhoffer, who was executed for a plot to overthrow Hitler, and Martin Niemoller, who was banished to concentration camps for speaking against Hitler, arose. 

Of course there were moderates in these positions as well. Those who called themselves "neutral". It was the neutral church that did not see a benefit in opposing the State, claiming that the plight for all would simply be made worse by resistance. Therefore, some were relegated to doing anything else but addressing the real issues and bringing about change.

There were individuals who would simply help as well. Those who would help Jews escape, provide shelter, food and clothes even against executive orders of the Fiihrer. Many of these individuals would severely suffer for their actions, being betrayed by neighbors, called unpatriotic, and would ultimately be mixed in with Jews and marked for death and killed.

The Catholic Church did not seem to suffer from as much confusion as the Protestant church did. They stuck to Papal Encyclicals which appeared to walk a fine line between the worship of Christ and allegiance to the leader of head of State. Many of the Catholic clergy also availed themselves to helping Jews and speaking against the antisemitism of the state. they too were ripe targets of State anger.

An article on the reaction of the State to openly confessed religious views said this:

When a protest statement was read from the pulpits of Confessing churches in March 1935, for example, Nazi authorities reacted forcefully by briefly arresting over 700 pastors. After the 1937 papal encyclical Mit brennender Sorge ("With burning concern") was read from Catholic pulpits, the Gestapo confiscated copies from diocesan offices throughout the country. [ HERE]

Conclusion, What Can We Learn?

When viewed through the lens of history, we can say that there are many things that remind us of what has taken place and what we observe today. However, there are many things yet different. Here we are in a "free" nation and one that is not a Socialist empire, but we are faced with many challenges of racism, nationalism and a host of other issues. Politically, we yet remain a "free" society although a great deal of the country wants state socialism both in economics and in governance. 

As proof of this we see politician Bernie Sanders, who took his socialism to the democratic party and was nearly made the party's nominee for President. In response to the popularity of the Sanders platform, Hillary Clinton not only adopted, but endorsed many aspects of the Socialist agenda of Sanders in order to appeal to many of his followers. That same sort of socialism is highly accepted in the Black community especially when the talk of it pertains to greater government support within the community, free education and the illusive level playing field and inclusion of all and the elimination of social class. What many have not thought of, is under this rubric and ideology, what happens to personal freedoms? What happens to religious freedom and the ability to self-govern? 

What happened in Germany was the power of the State directly confronting the freedom of mind, heart and conscience through and by religion. Notice, that a person can come up with some of any kind of idea and not have it challenged too much until there is a near tragedy or tragic event, whereas any practice, tenet or belief, especially that based and rooted within Christian theology, seemingly no matter how innocuous, is met with harsh resistance, skepticism, disdain, and even intolerance.  

In this case the State is primarily contending that Christian values and teachings are so incompatible with the State, that if someone believes what the bible teaches and embraces it as a sincerely held belief that their belief makes them incompatible with even employment by the State. It doesn't matter if your public teaching aligns with the State or that you do your job, it matters what you believe.

Maybe the church can take a marker from the world here. The world knows that "belief" is important. The church has a hard time understanding that concept. Ooh, it often says what it believes by way of confession, but as I stated earlier, beliefs have consequences. Are we wishy-washy in or beliefs or are we centered and focused on Christ life Germany's "Confessing church" was? 

These are the times that God is calling for every Christian to make their faith known to the world. I believe only them that stand WILL stand in the day of judgement. I know I want to be one that stands for my Lord. How about you?

Blessed!

Russian Christians Under Attack...Told To Not Share Their Faith In Public

For the first time in our history, the people of Russia are the most abundant readers in any month of the Dunamis Word Blog. This, of course, is quite a surprise to the founder of the blog in that the Dunamis Word centers and focuses on the American church and social issues within the American community more than any other topic.

FIRST, we WELCOME the fine Russian people and their readership! I personally appreciate the fact that this message and insights are traveling across the globe, whether one agrees with the opinions and concerns expressed or not, it just may be that there is something being said and or examined here that is hopefully assisting individuals with this thing called LIFE!!!!

That leads to another point however...The complete American political fiasco...It could be that the Russian people are looking for the outside story on the political happenings in America and I don't blame them for searching...The media is certainly bias, no matter how much they claim to be independently owned and operated...Anytime corporate America owns anything and money is involved, one can rest assured that the allegiance will be to those "greasing the pan" as opposed to those of us who make the grease!

America is still not communist, at least officially, however large segments of our population have accepted socialism as acceptable within society. Look at the Democratic Party's finalist...a self avowed socialist named Bernie Sanders, who has never even claimed to be a Democrat. In fact the love for Sander's Socialism and the views he expressed that were rooted in socialist values and even borderline Communism, threatened and still yet threatens to tear away at the core of American politics and social values both now and for years to come.

Religious Freedoms Under Attack

Then, maybe, it is the spiritual awakening that is taking place in Russia due to the spiritual attack that has been levied on the Russian religious population by its government. Recently, President Putin enacted legislation banning evangelization by any and all religious groups outside of their places of worship. In other words, it is now law that one cannot share their faith outside of a religious building, or a building designated for religious use. According to the law, one cannot even share one's faith even in their own home!

"Russia's Newest Law No Evangelizing Outside Of Church"

Yes, this is disturbing and it is problematic for Western Christians to see the stage set for persecution and further abuse of Christians around the world.  

The good news is that for years we have heard from organizations that have missionaries within Russia, that there is a revival taking place and that the Russian people are renewing faith in Christ like never before. I believe that is GOOD!!!! The bad news is that because of the threat of terrorism, the Christian faith, as well as all faiths, have been thrown into the potpourri of confusion and the seething cauldron of restrictions designed to stop the practice and acceptance of faith and ultimately the gospel of Jesus itself. 

Well, America is not too far away from that in some form. Those calling themselves "freethinkers"  and believing that "freedom from religion" are American values, have long said that religion does not belong in "public life" (even though many of them don't want religion in private life either). The fact is that this attack on religion, though inspired by Muslim extremists such as ISIS, is focused on Christianity now more than ever before and real Christians, who are not called to live in a corner or abject obscurity, will suffer the brunt of the effort. 

Who Is To Blame?

With all of that said, the blame for this attack upon Christianity and Christian values, cannot be laid at the feet of Russian communism, Islam, terrorism or any other "ism". It can be laid at the feet of a BACKSLIDDEN CHURCH who has failed to keep itself pure in this world and who have become just like any and all other men!

Believe me...I personally don't fear communism and although I firmly believe in the values of freedom and a capitalistic society and what we have come to call American values, I embrace all my communist friends and even those seeking freedom from communism and communist baggage. I embrace all those Christians who live in a communist country, but who want better for their children and families, just like I do. My fear is not communism but that of a DRUNK, backslidden church, enamored with its own self appellation and pursuing its own self aggrandizement rather than seeking its God. My fear is that of a church who will accept any ungodly and unbiblical behavior, even shaming those who speak out against it, as if being quiet against sin is the highest calling of God to this world. 

These are the things to be fearful of if anything at all...not communism or even socialism...However, I pray for the peace and safety of my fellow Christian brothers and sisters in Russia who have the same burning desire as I do to share their faith and to be what God has called them to be. I appreciate your circumstance and stand with you during this time of the great falling away from the faith. I would that Christians around the world would join along with you and your families and communities of faith in prayer to the great God that we serve that shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing. 

Be STRONG my Russian friends and fellow Christians and may the Lord continue to be with you! That is my prayer, in JESUS name!!!!

Ephes 6:10-12 ~ 10-Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11-Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12-For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in highplaces. 

Blessed!

Bernie Sanders And Socialism aka: Legal Plunder

Socialism ~ A political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

“If you look at the issues — you don’t have to worry about the word ‘socialist’ — just look at what I’m talking about. If you go out and ask the American people: Is it right that the middle class continues to disappear while there has been a massive transfer of wealth from working families to the top one-tenth of 1 percent? Trillions of dollars in the last 30 years have flowed from the middle class to the top one-tenth of 1 percent. And the American people say, ‘No, that’s not right.’ And if you ask the American people: Do you think it’s right that despite an explosion of technology and an increase in worker productivity, the average worker is working longer hours for low wages? They say no. And what the American people are saying pretty loudly and clearly is they want an economy that works for ordinary Americans. For working people. Not an economy where almost all of the income and all of the wealth is going to the top 1 percent. That’s what we have now.” ~ Bernie Sanders in the Des Moines  2016 Register Newspaper

As the self ascribed "Democratic Socialist" Bernie Sanders continues to rise among Democrats giving Hillary Clinton all that she can handle, I thought it important to speak out on the political theory that Mr. Sanders actually embraces and explain how his democratic socialism, by nature, is one of the most problematic political philosophies in America today. In a sense Sanders claims to be an FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) restorationist, even hailing Roosevelt as the ultimate Democratic Socialist, but there is something more ominous about socialism that the American public needs to know, that Sanders certainly isn't volunteering.

[PLEASE excuse the previous paragraph (which has been corrected) as it was hijacked to reflect support for Sander's socialism, but we DECRY socialism, especially the political socialism and servitude that Sanders endorses]
